1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Dropped into Class 3 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago and ran a good race for second, edging left in the closing stages but keeping on well regardless; still has handicapping scope up 1lb. |
7/2 |

2nd 6 (3) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Well handicapped on last spring's Newmarket/Newbury form; down the field in both runs this year but he was awkward at the start on his reappearance and not well drawn at York last time; unwise to underestimate him now he drops in class. |
14/1 |

9th 18 (12) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Not beaten far at Newmarket (6f, good) and Newbury (6f, good to firm) last May and he's well handicapped on that form; however, below best on final two starts last season and likewise on recent reappearance at Newmarket. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Smart as 2yo, placed in the Group 3 Acomb at this meeting (on good to firm) before winning a Listed race at Doncaster (6f, heavy); retains ability but he's not obviously well handicapped and the suspicion is he would prefer good ground or softer; gelded since last start. |
14/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on any ground; ties in with Indian Run on York form last August; good second in the Richmond here the time before and bagged Listed honours later in 2yo campaign; got going too late in 6f AW Group 3 most recently, shaping as if this return to 7f will suit; could go well. |
9/1 |

6th 11 (7) |
29th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Tough performer at two, winning a Hamilton maiden and a Doncaster Listed event (both 6f) as well as chasing home Vandeek in the Richmond Stakes; flopped in the Greenham on his return ten weeks ago (7f, good to soft) and now comes here with a point to prove. |

23rd Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Three of the last seven Acomb winners had raced only once and this colt made a winning debut over C&D (good to soft) last month, albeit by the skin of his teeth in what wasn't the strongest race; tongue tied this time; his trainer's runners are always respected at this meeting but this one needs to find a hefty chunk of improvement and, unlike all his rivals, he lacks further Group-race entries. |

reluctant to load, towards rear, headway halfway, led going easily over 2f out, faced challenge over 1f out, ridden and sustained duel with runner-up final furlong, kept on, just did enough |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Has performed well in several notable handicaps, including a strong success at Windsor (2m; beat the subsequent County winner) in January and good second at the Cheltenham Festival (upped to 2m4f, soft) last time; solid contender who looks set for another big run. |
13/2 |

2nd 23 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Fairly useful hurdler at about 2m and ran creditably (lost two places close home; finished fourth) in the Fred Winter at this meeting 12 months ago; bagged a valuable pot at Windsor (soft) in January but form dipped last time; goes into unknown territory over this longer distance. |
33/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
5yo who races prominently and has been progressive this season in some competitive handicaps, finishing second at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft) in December and winning at Windsor (2m, soft) last month; up 5lb for last time but he did it nicely and could continue to improve; respected. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Losing run is mounting up but he ran respectably over C&D most recently (final start for Charles Hills) and ties in with unexposed Raammee on that form; possibilities off same mark, provided he takes well to first-time headgear; remains with same owner. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
He needs to produce more than he's managed back on turf on his last two starts but prior to those he was a good second at Kempton (7f, AW) in March, and he won on grass at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last May; capable of having a say if getting back to his best. |
11/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent of late on the AW, runner-up at Kempton in October and March, but his turf efforts have been more up and down; never better than midfield in Spring Cup at Newbury two weeks ago and only 1lb lower today. |

Won a 5f course maiden before failing to make an impact up in class; handicap mark could be generous if fit enough on return though; off 236 days. |

Backed up Naas maiden win (yielding to soft) when last of six (9s) in York Group 3; probably has less to do here but hard to see him winning; champion trainer's sole runner. |
