5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Added to his excellent course record with two more wins this year, including this trip; another excellent effort here when chasing home Gamrai over 1m3f in March, with next-time-out winners behind in third/fourth; fair fourth of nine at Newcastle (1m2f) when last seen in June and much respected back at Kempton. |
6/1 |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Added to his excellent Kempton record with wins over 1m3f and 1m4f this year; another cracking effort there when chasing home the progressive Gamrai over 1m3f in March; probably worth ignoring a recent run on turf but his peak AW form (including all wins) has been achieved on Polytrack. |
16/1 |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |

Fine from 1m to 1m4f; has won on turf but the AW looks more his scene and especially Kempton where he beat all bar a handicap snip the last time; back on grass others look safer. |

Off the mark at the eighth attempt in a 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton (AW) last November but didn't shape with obvious short-term encouragement on his Newbury reappearance in July. |

Off the mark at the eighth attempt in a 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton last November, which was last-gasp stuff; only fifth next time at Kempton with no excuses; lacks a recent run and the yard is struggling for winners. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Reliable mare who gained this season's win in three-runner contest at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May; suited by this C&D and will appreciate today's ease in grade; each-way claims at least. |
11/2 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |

Reliable mare who wasn't beaten far last time at Epsom when just behind Imperical Cult; has run well in the last three renewals of this race, beaten 2l or less; considered. |
6/1 |

5th 6 (3) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |

Six visits to Epsom have seen her placed four times, including when second in this race in 2024; narrowly got the better of one of just two rivals when winning at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) in May and it was a solid fourth in similar event back there a fortnight ago; will probably give her running but more of an each-way prospect. |

Sole success in 14 starts came off 9lb higher at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in August last year; hasn't shown much in five starts since returning from eight months off in June and another 3lb drop not enough to tempt; can take a keen hold. |

Tailed off on final 2022 start and had wind surgery this March; back in the groove six days ago to win in clearcut fashion at Epsom, where he has a good record; has a bit more to prove today dropping back from 1m4f and carrying a penalty, but he has a 7lb claimer enlisted. |

2nd 5 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Back in form since returned to cheekpieces of late, latterly when beaten a nose by Belle Of Kt at Bath a fortnight ago; 6lb better off with her old rival and her last win came round here off 3lb higher, so there are reasons for optimism. |
8/1 |

31st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Seven wins at up to 1m4f; yet fully to convince stamina-wise over this far and not very reliable nowadays but gave pretty good account when third in refitted cheekpieces here (11.6f, firm) 16 days ago. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who is often a zestful front-runner; no win since August 2023 but 5-15 at Windsor overall and, surprisingly, his last race here was that latest win; close second on Kempton AW (1m4f) on recent reappearance also returns him to calculations and he's won on a wide variety of ground. |

Veteran who is often a front-runner but he's not won since August 2023 and he's been well beaten in his two starts this year; on career-low mark but he has a lot to prove. |

18th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice on turf last season and he has run some good races in defeat this time around; last couple of efforts need forgiving; dropping into a 0-60 should help but he still has something to prove on AW. |
16/1 |

8th 2 (11) |
5th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice on turf last season and he has run some good races in defeat this time around; he wasn't at his best at Nottingham nine days ago but this is a more realistic assignment; no reason why he won't be fully effective on AW in time. |

Habitual slow starter; made a flying start to life with this yard in the summer, winning handicaps at Lingfield (1m, AW), Chepstow (1m2f) and Chelmsford (1m2f, AW); not so good the last twice but those runs were on slow ground; return to AW in his favour but still to convince he needs this far. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

A fair 1m4f scorer for James Owen last March but below par for his current stable, a never-dangerous fourth of seven on his return in 1m1f Musselburgh handicap 34 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |
