22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Formerly a miler but has gained last three wins over 1m2f, including this race on good (made all) last year; latest success came in Bahrain in January; well beaten in the John Smith's Cup on his return to Britain but bounced straight back with a career-best second of 11 over 1m at Thirsk (good) under Lexie Clarkson three weeks ago; going softer than good would be a slight question mark. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Formerly a miler but has gained last three wins over 1m2f, the most recent in Bahrain; well held in major handicap returned to home soil last time; bit to prove off current mark back down in trip; Lexie Clarkson claims 7lb but has limited experience. |
25/1 |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Well beaten in Bahrain in February when last seen and a wide draw could prove tough for this front-runner; however, he won two C&D handicaps last summer (good/good to firm) and was back on the scoresheet in Bahrain in January; unbeaten at York and could make a bold bid at a big price. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from his 21 starts but he's been a creditable third on two of his three starts this season, most recently at Chepstow (7f, good); he's probably fine on good to soft; in the mix if he's on another going day. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (8) |
21st May 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-20 but his comeback run was encouraging, over 1m at Pontefract; Wetherby next time was disappointing but he did go down by only a neck on his last run over 7f (last August) and he's his Yorkshire-based yard's only runner on the card; Oisin Murphy rides. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Patchy for Richard Fahey last year and has reverted to type for his new yard this time, having kicked off with a C&D win off 2lb lower in May; does like it here though, and this a bit easier, having been said to have hung right at Chester last time. |

Ended a long losing sequence (on his yard debut) over C&D in May but comes here on the back of a below-form sixth at Newcastle (1m) last month; needs to get back on track. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Four-time winner who has been as good as ever in defeat this season, latterly with cheekpieces on for a visor at Newmarket (7f, good to firm; has won at 1m); has run well in his two previous starts at Ascot; respected. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Two course wins at 1m; two good efforts for new yard this year but a promising-looking run came to nothing when back over 1m at York last time; still worth a look returned to 7f in his first course run since last summer's win; first-time cheekpieces replace regular visor. |
8/1 |

8th 6 (14) |

Won two from five last season and looks as good as ever this term, fourth in a big field at Ascot two weeks ago; effective at 7f and 1m; should be in the thick of things again. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |

Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

9st 9lb |
Veteran (5-81) stablemate of Zebra Star; respectable third over 1m here (good to firm) in July, but could make only minimal inroads over C&D (fifth; 22-1) latest; this is a slightly easier task. |
18/1 |

5th 12 (13) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Now 1lb lower than for his Musselburgh win (1m, good) last September but he hasn't posed a serious threat this season and was well held over C&D last Monday; needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |

6th 9 (7) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground. |
7/2 |
|
1 (7) |
14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |

Prevailed by a neck at Pontefract (1m, soft) last week, making it three wins from his last four starts and recording first success away from Hamilton; only 3lb higher even with another penalty; respected in current form. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared. |
40/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |

11yo who was as good as ever last season, winning three times, including at Ayr in September when last season; this two-time course winner is not ruled out on his return but there's a suspicion he'll improve for the run. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner (7f/1m) who acts on good to firm and good to soft; did well to finish a close third after missing the break at Hamilton (8.3f) nine days ago but he's not easy to predict and was always behind over C&D on Saturday night; risks attached. |
8/1 |

8th 12 (12) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Talented and well treated; multiple wins include two over C&D; nearly all his wins under Paul Mulrennan, who prefers Sanafi Zabeel, but he's also gone well for Lauren Young and ran creditably for her at Hamilton last week; the likely strong pace will suit and he's capable of a big run. |
