15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
The addition of a tongue-tie saw him return to winning ways at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in June; the tongue-tie was left off on last month's stable debut and he ran creditably in fifth at Southwell; this may prove too competitive. |

5th 9 (1) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 3-4 on Tapeta when winning off 4lb lower early last month; a poor effort on turf a few weeks ago will need forgiving but he's the type to respond positively to a change of yard and the headgear coming off, so holds possibilities. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

Triple turf winner who made it 3-5 on AW when leading close home at Wolverhampton (6f; tongue-tie added) last month; ran another good race when a close second at Ripon (6f, good) last time and he's respected off only 1lb higher. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up at Newcastle (6f, AW) before going one better to end a lengthy losing run over that same C&D 12 days ago; has won on turf, so the switch to grass is no issue and she's still on a nice mark on her old form following a 4lb rise. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

It's now 18 runs since her last success but retried in headgear when a solid third of ten in 6f classified event at Thirsk ten days ago; she can't be ruled out in another headgear change. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
She's 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in February and when running well at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June; she's 0-12 on turf and unproven at this trip, and she's been below par at favourite course Newcastle on her last two starts (1m). |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Took this in 2025 and also scored over C&D in February; not at her best when 11th over C&D last time but she's the sort to bounce back. |

10st 2lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year, who ran well when seventh of 24 in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot last week; she's below her last winning mark and has strong claims back down in grade. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Normally ridden to be produced late, as when successful at Salisbury (7f, good) in June, but was given a straightforward ride to land a claimer over C&D (good) 20 days ago; this looks tougher however and more is required. |

The last run wasn't his best (four ran) but he was bang there in his four previous races, all handicaps at 7f/1m; drops into a claimer on favourable terms and must have every chance; has run well here before. |

8st 12lb |
Winless since his productive 2024 campaign; upped to 7f at Thirsk six weeks ago and put in a good front-running shift, picked off close home by the reopposing Brighton Boy; 3lb better off today but it won't be easy trying to boss this field. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Added another two AW wins to his tally earlier in the year; unplaced in three runs back on turf but dropping back into a Class 4 should help; others preferred all the same. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |

Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year; ran respectably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he was laboured in similar conditions at York two weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that and he's never won off a mark this high. |

13-race maiden; on a dangerous mark on last year's best but it's been tougher going this year and the drop to 6f/fitting of a visor didn't have the desired effect last time. |

12-race maiden; in good form last summer but he failed to fire at Catterick last August and he hasn't threatened in two 1m handicaps this year; dangerous mark if the drop in trip and fitting of a visor perks him up; stable also run Canon's House. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Easily capitalised on a reduced mark at Chester (7f, good) last month and he's made all over this C&D on both starts since (good to firm); this 5yo is up to a career-high mark but has never been better and could prove tough to catch once more. |

Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); well beaten at Thirsk 24 days ago, however, and this is a deeper race. |

C&D winner; the odd encouraging run on turf this year, including at Hamilton last month (5f, soft), but he will need more if he is to come out on top tonight. |
