3rd 4 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
A fair 1m2f scorer on the Flat who got off the mark in this sphere in 2m Stratford handicap last June; back from ten months off with a promising third of eight over C&D two weeks ago, finishing well having suffered a poor run from two out; very much one to consider. |
6/1 |

3rd 3 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won with tongue-tie added in a Stratford handicap (2m, good) last June but he's been well held over hurdles and on the Flat in last two starts; may have needed his reappearance run at Chester last month but his form is patchy and he's still 6lb higher than for his hurdle win; others preferred. |
6/1 |

11th 8 (11) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a low-grade handicap hurdle last summer but this is his first Flat run since 2024, and he needs to prove he's worth his current mark. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 185y |
10st 0lb |
Premier handicap winner over 1m2f at Dundalk last season; upped in trip this year to decent effect; good third in the Chester Plate in May; made no impact in the Northumberland Plate last time but will appreciate the calmer waters here. |
7/1 |
|
11th 14 (20) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Brought over from Ireland for five British races and ran well every time, including when fourth in this contest last year and third in the Chester Plate last month; he didn't win any of them, though, and has taken just one Irish handicap; plenty seemingly needs to go right if he's to win this but he has a place chance despite wide draw. |
18/1 |

9th 9 (11) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Seen mostly on AW, including fourth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m) last June; running well on AW this year and good effort back on turf at Chester last month, only fading late on over 2m3f; upped in grade here and could go well with rider's claim. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Belied his 100-1 odds with a remarkable success in the Triumph at this meeting (2m1f, good to soft) last year on hurdles debut, collaring Lulamba who subsequently reversed placings with him at Punchestown and is a leading contender in today's Arkle; ran below expectations at Royal Ascot but ran promisingly, with a view to this race, in the Irish Champion Hurdle on return from layoff (got detached in the back straight, ending up with plenty to do, then stayed on for third of five); could be open to plenty of further improvement with that outing under his belt and given his very low mileage in this sphere; very interesting back at Cheltenham. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
1st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Made his stable/hurdles debut in the Triumph at Cheltenham, belied odds of 100-1 to win by a neck; second at Punchestown in May (despite racing freely) confirmed his high standing; ran much too freely when strongly fancied for the 2m4f Ascot Stakes. |
14/1 |
|
17th 20 (10) |
17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Trained last year by Ralph Beckett, favourite when below form in the 1m1f Cambridgeshire on final outing (also below form on sole run on good to firm); made his stable/hurdles debut in March, in the Triumph at Cheltenham no less, but belied odds of 100-1 to win by a neck; second at Punchestown in May (despite racing freely) confirmed his high standing in that sphere, so he's a high-profile candidate for this return to Flat, over a very new Flat trip but his trainer usually picks the right ones for these races. |

1st 4 (14) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Broke his losing run in clearcut style when he reappeared at Kempton (2m, AW) in March with restored cheekpieces, which have been kept since; good second in valuable race at Newmarket (1m6f) but he needs to bounce back from a disappointing show at Goodwood five weeks ago. |
16/1 |

6th 3 (10) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
2024 C&D winner who broke his losing run in clearcut style when he reappeared with restored cheekpieces at Kempton (2m, AW) in March; second in valuable race at Newmarket (1m6f) confirmed that he's turned a corner and must remain in serious calculations. |
3/1 |

2nd 5 (1) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Thereabouts on occasions in 2025, crept down the weights and broke his losing run in clearcut style when he reappeared five weeks ago wearing restored cheekpieces in the Queen's Prize at Kempton (2m, AW); back up 4lb but showed plenty of bottle in that win and may have turned a corner. |

Well held in two maidens at Newmarket; fared better (7l fifth) on the switch to AW at Chelmsford and could well take another step forward now handicapping with hood applied; major stable; interesting contender. |

85,000gns 2yo; at 50-1 he was lengthy odds for a newcomer from this yard here last month (1m, good to firm) and he was beaten nearly 20l; hard to warm to on the back of that effort. |

450,000euros yearling; 16-1 and ran green when a well-held sixth of nine on his Chelmsford debut (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; may need more time. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
All wins have been at 1m2f and he ran well over the extended 1m here on reappearance, before a lesser show at Sandown; his record at this track is very solid, but those on good to firm and at 1m4f less so. |
6/1 |

7th 13 (16) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
All wins have been at 1m2f, on ground ranging from soft to good; therefore, his reappearance effort when a closing third (just behind Sweet Reward) over the extended 1m at Epsom can be viewed positively. |
16/1 |

3rd 6 (1) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Respectable fourth in the Great Metropolitan on last year's card; one win last year but it did come here in July and he was a respectable second at this track (also 1m2f, good to soft; has won on good) in September; below par over 1m on his final start in October and this trip again asks a question; market might help ahead of his comeback. |

Mixed record on the Flat but he's edging down the weights and stepping up to 2m could prompt extra; considered. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Dual winner for Charlie Johnston in 2024; runner-up over this C&D last May on his second start for this yard but he's lost his way since, albeit it was his first start for 301 days when beating only one rival home at Newcastle three weeks ago. |
10/1 |

10th 9 (11) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Two wins for Charlie Johnston in 2024, including over 1m4f on Tapeta; mixed form since and may be better for the run after 301-day break; refused to enter stalls on intended reappearance. |
20/1 |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Course winner for Charlie Johnston; struggled for this yard last summer and returns from nine months off tonight; did win first time out as a 3yo but would want to see some support before considering him. |
