13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Steps up further in class but he has progressive York form and brings impressive stats, being 3-4 over C&D (gained last win cosily in good-ground Listed race) and 4-9 in headgear, which is reapplied with Newmarket reappearance under his belt; has a better chance than bare ratings suggest. |

Has form on the Newmarket tracks but recorded last three wins at York, including when beating Crestofdistinction with more in hand than the narrow margin suggests in Listed grade on most recent appearance; likely to be more interesting when back at that venue. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Form dipped slightly when never-dangerous favourite in Class 3 here three weeks ago, following two seconds and a win (all also C&D) on previous three starts; back to Class 4 and, like most of these, has each-way claims. |

In excellent form of late and ended a long losing run with a deserved fourth C&D win in eight-runner contest a week ago; very much one to consider under a 4lb penalty with Oisin Murphy again up. |

Her losing run stands at 26 but that doesn't do her justice as she's an admirable mare who has run numerous good races since that latest success; good third against male opposition at Newcastle four weeks ago; should get a good pace to aim at and more prize money would seem likely. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Has gained most wins at Windsor; made the frame there last time (second run for new yard) but was beaten 6l and needs to raise his game; losing run is mounting up. |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Solid sprint handicapper for the Channons over the years but only occasional flashes of his old self in 2024; has dropped down the weights but he reappeared for new yard with tailed-off effort at Ascot 16 days ago and can only be watched after that. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Travelled powerfully before wearing down The Man close home in this race 12 months ago; he arrives 3lb higher this time around, penalised for last week's Windsor success (a race in which he was second before his win here last year); whether his draw in stall 20 is a positive remains to be seen though. |

1st 3 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Had two C&D wins under his belt before finishing close up in the last two runnings of this (both on good to firm); not ideally placed when returned to this track in May but he should have a say again now back on a better mark, 3lb lower than last August. |
11/2 |
|
14th 9 (16) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Only 1lb higher than for his win at York's Ebor meeting (5.4f, good to firm) last August; Windsor fourth in May was promising and the Wokingham was always going to be a tough task latest; not dismissed. |

Capitalised on a good mark at Newbury (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; up 4lb but still feasibly weighted and this Royal Ascot winner should make another bold bid. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |

8th 13 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Won at Royal Ascot in 2023 and second in this race in 2025; the handicapper has been in command for much of 2026 but he went close at Windsor last month; not in the same form at Newmarket two weeks ago but the switch from cheekpieces to a visor could help; contender. |

9st 0lb |
Yet to score this term but his sixth of 21 at the Ebor festival (6f, good to firm) indicated he might be rediscovering his level; that didn't prove the case at Windsor last time but he's too well handicapped to ignore and rain would certainly not hinder him. |
10/1 |
|
9th 16 (11) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Saw out 2025 with three AW wins from his final four starts but he's played only minor roles in turf handicaps this year, including when beaten nearly 5l behind King Of Light over C&D in May; could do with some rain or, failing that, a return to the AW as he's well treated now. |
25/1 |

6th 15 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Ended 2025 in fine form on AW; 0-7 in 2026 but he has slipped 6lb below his last winning mark and has Toby Moore taking another 7lb off his back; suspicion a few will prove stronger. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Enhanced a good Windsor record when seeing off next-time-out winner Amazonian Dream and ten others over C&D last month; went agonisingly close in a big field at Glorious Goodwood (again 6f on good to firm) 19 days ago and although back up 2lb today, it's not forgotten that she went close in this race last year off 6lb higher still; big shout if she can find the gaps in coming from off the pace. |

Enhanced a good Windsor record when seeing off next-time-out winner Amazonian Dream and ten others over 6f on good to firm 16 days ago; a 5lb rise looks manageable, particularly as she went close off 4lb higher at this meeting last year; on the shortlist. |

All of his five wins have been at 5f; won two in a row in Bahrain in February and he landed a Racing League handicap at Yarmouth (good to firm) last month; hit a personal best with that success but this is tougher off 5lb higher and his only previous run at this trip resulted in a heavy defeat. |

Made all up the stands' rail when springing a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2024; added another major handicap when dominating last year's Wokingham; failed to beat a rival in his next three starts though (including in this race) and he has been absent for 314 days; his draw gives him the chance to repeat the heroics of 2024 but this looks a tough assignment on his return. |

Over two years since he last ran on the AW but that made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton; won last year's Stewards' Cup and this year's Wokingham, so clearly a tip-top handicapper when on his game; found the ground too slow in last month's big handicap at Goodwood but his run back there last time is not so easily forgiven. |

Comfortable winner of a C&D handicap (good to firm) last August; better than ever when a close fourth in a Listed event at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March but he's been well held in both subsequent runs and latest was in a C&D; has bit to prove again and this looks a tough task on the figures. |
