26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in June and has continued in good nick, third of 12 in 6f Pontefract handicap nine days ago; ought to be in the shake-up again. |

3rd 7 (2) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Wolverhampton in June and he's also had some close calls this season including at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago; now drops back in trip but he was only just caught after setting a strong pace last time and is a key player off unchanged mark. |

Found out by the drop back to 6f at Catterick 19 days ago; in good form over this trip beforehand but in a lower grade; could prove vulnerable in Class 4 company. |

Hasn't built on the promise of debut second at Newbury (7f, good) in May in two subsequent outings (bled and reported to have been unsuited by quick ground on first occasion) but retains potential now handicapping; yard in very good form; interesting contender. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won over 7f on Yarmouth debut last October; faded in the closing stages after briefly looking in control on his 7f Newbury reappearance, but perhaps he needed the outing a bit more than was anticipated (went off 4-6) and the fact he held an entry in the Group 1 St James's Palace at the time suggests his leading stable thinks quite a bit of him. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Has shown best form this season at Goodwood, namely three consecutive in-the-frame efforts that amount to knocking on the door; only midfield at Doncaster last time but enters calculations back here. |
4/1 |

7th 9 (9) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Held up these days; four AW wins (7f/1m) but none since 2024; 0-17 on turf but he's been competitive at Goodwood (7f/1m) on last two outings and was a close fourth in this race last year; blinkered once (below form) last year and now it's a visor which replaces his usual cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

Four AW wins, including over 1m; 0-16 on turf but he's in form, having finished fourth at Goodwood (7f) in last two starts; remains on a workable mark and enters calculations. |

Consistent spell over 7f featured an Epsom win in July; well held on penultimate start, though, and never got into it over 1m at Brighton on latest (patchy record over 1m); good chance if back to her peak. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Looked destined for the top when thrashing 25 opponents in 7f handicap at Royal Ascot in 2024 but he never quite kicked on for Ed Walker; back to winning ways over 7f/1m for his new trainer in Dubai early in the year; up and down since returning to Britain but he's capable of a prominent showing. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Two wins at Meydan for current yard; best effort since returned to British soil when second in small field at Hamilton; rather weighted to the hilt on 2026 form but Harry Vigors takes off a useful 5lb. |
8/1 |
|
16th 5 (22) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Completed a Meydan double early this year; came up short in the Royal Ascot handicap he'd won in 2024 but ran respectably, behind an unbeaten rival, at Hamilton most recently; has to overcome the widest draw returned to a bigger stage. |

Unexposed 3yo who shaped with promise when fifth in Salisbury novice (7f, soft) for Roger Teal in July; well beaten later that month but moves up in trip for today's stable/handicap debut and market support will make him of interest. |

Gamely made all over C&D (good to firm) in May and has largely remained in good form since, going close when second at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) on latest outing; may find others better handicappped, though. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Gained his fifth AW success when winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; mixed results in four subsequent runs but he rallied for fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) in March; now returns to turf but he has placed form in this sphere and is not ruled out back up in trip. |
