14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Bettered disappointing seasonal debut when fifth of seven at Goodwood (6f, soft) last month and is now back on same mark as when dead-heating at 80-1 at Chelmsford in the autumn but others have more convincing profiles. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Generally struggled for this yard but the notable exception came when dead-heating at Chelmsford last October (6f, AW); beaten 19l at Doncaster on his return ten weeks ago; not a solid option. |

Sprung an 80-1 surprise at Chelmsford in October (6f; dead-heated) but failed to back it up at Southwell two weeks later; others look safer. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Sole visit here yielded a win over this trip (good) in May but he hasn't figured in two subsequent starts, including when always behind at Windsor 11 days ago; hopes rest on a return to this course firing him back up. |
12/1 |
|
9th 4 (8) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Talented 2yo; soundly beaten on turf reappearance in 2025 and was kept to the AW for the rest of the year; probably helped by racing near the stand rail when making a winning return at Ascot (6f, good) in May, but still made a good impression and an early stumble counted against him at Chester since; should still have some improvement in him; thereabouts. |
9/1 |
|
8th 1 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Wide-margin winner of a valuable sales race at the Curragh as a 2yo and it was a first win since when taking good-ground Ascot handicap (6f) on his return to turf last month; no problem if this ground is softer and sound claims up 4lb. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Beaten 16 times since his winning 2yo debut but there have been several good runs along the way; two midfield finishes in good handicaps this summer; edging down the weights and he should be popping up soon. |
25/1 |
|
10th 7 (22) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
0-15 since debut win in May 2024 but often ran well off marks in the 90s in some quality handicaps last season, including over C&D; respectable sixth of 14 on recent reappearance at Thirsk and could build on that run today. |
10/1 |

6th 7 (11) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
0-14 since debut win in May 2024 but he often ran well in some quality handicaps last season; returns on a competitive mark having had wind surgery; could have a part to play if fully tuned up. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Quite lightly raced since going up 11lb for a wide-margin win at Newmarket (6f, good) in May 2025, but a recent second on soft ground at Epsom (6f; cheekpieces refitted) was a useful effort at the weights and showed him to be back on track; should be in contention again. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (15) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Useful sort whose latest effort is best forgiven (chance compromised by early trouble); however, he has something to prove away from Newmarket, where most of his turf form lies. |
14/1 |
|
9th 1 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Goes well at Newmarket; third to Double Rush at last season's Craven meeting (2lb better off today) before an impressive win in the 3yo handicap on this card; another promising run on his reappearance 17 days ago when finishing third, just over 5l behind Double Rush; has bigger days ahead of him but he may be battling for another minor placing. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won three of her first six starts, including a Doncaster handicap off a 3lb higher mark; mixed results since and might find one or two stronger for win purposes. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins at 6f, including on this course; successful handicap debut at Doncaster (good to firm; has won on good to soft) in April but hasn't gone on and was better drawn than Moulin Booj when they were fourth and fifth on Lingfield AW (5f) 12 days ago; needs more. |
9/2 |
|
10 (2) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Now 2lb lower than for her Doncaster win in April (6f, good to firm); no progress since (5f to 7f) and a hood didn't spark a major transformation at Newmarket two weeks ago, dropping away in the final furlong; only other AW start came over 7f and this trip should be more suitable. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Bounced back from some lesser efforts when making all and scoring comfortably from a subsequent winner at Ripon (6f, good) 19 days ago; the visor may have helped and although similar tactics may not be so easy in this field, he doesn't have to lead; much respected from 6lb higher. |
11/8 |

1st 4 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won three times last year (5f/6f, good/good to firm/AW), the third when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; disappointing this season, last time unseating his rider at the start in first-time visor which is retained. |
9/1 |
|
4 (12) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had a solid 2025, winning three times (5f/6f), but hasn't finished in the first eight this year; dropping in the weights but needs to turn a corner; perhaps a change of headgear will help. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won 5f maiden and novice races as a juvenile; seemingly has limitations in Listed races, twice finishing behind Hold A Dream, albeit beaten about only 2l by that one at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in August when coming from well back last time; another tough task awaits. |
40/1 |
|
8 (9) |
17th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Ran well when fourth of seven at 33-1 in Listed race at Sandown in June (5f, good to firm; Hold A Dream second) but she's finished down the field otherwise this season, most recently back in a handicap at Sandown. |
