1st 6 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Seen mostly at up to 1m4f so perhaps unwise to read all that much into last two defeats over 2m and 1m6f; not impossibly treated on his solid 1m4f form earlier this season, and last year's efforts included a 2l defeat in this (not seen to best effect) and a victory over Insanity at York (1m4f, good to firm); in the mix. |
13/2 |

6th 5 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Seen mostly at up to 1m4f, over which he delivered a telling late challenge on the other Newmarket track in May; while that looked encouraging for longer trips, his one attempt at 1m6f (on soft last July) and two at 2m (last two Northumberland Plates) saw him well beaten; that's not conclusive proof that he won't stay 1m6f but it leaves his stamina unproven. |
33/1 |

12th 11 (13) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins at this track but he came 13th in this race last year; that was his only appearance over this long a trip and he was also below form when he had a crack at 1m6f, so he's unproven beyond 1m4f, over which he's contested his last nine starts; stamina is the big doubt. |

Runner-up over C&D on stable debut 14 months ago but well down the field all five starts since including in a classified event here last Monday; opposable. |

1st 4 (8) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Well held at Lingfield (7f, AW) last time, but finished first and second over 1m here in his two starts prior to that; the win came on soft ground, but he is now 5lb higher so will need to find a bit extra. |
8/1 |
|
9th 2 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
First and second in his last two starts on varying ground at Chepstow (1m) under regular rider Zoe Lewis, but there has to be a doubt over the suitability of a fast 7f like this back on the AW. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
First six wins came on the AW, but he gained his first success on turf in a 0-55 handicap over C&D (soft) under Zoe Lewis (who knows him well) last month; drops to this level for the first time, but fast ground is a big question mark. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two 1m wins in spring 2024, on AW and at Yarmouth (good to firm), but most of her efforts for this yard have been ordinary and she hasn't been in remotely good form on her last two starts. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
22nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
A dual 1m winner in 2024 but she's yet to hit top form this term, beating only one in 1m handicap at Chepstow 40 days ago; others are preferred. |
15/2 |
|
10th 8 (3) |
13th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
None too consistent but she's slipped to a basement mark and there was more encouragement to be gleaned when a close fourth at Nottingham last month (first-time cheekpieces, retained); 11lb lower than for her Yarmouth win 13 months ago so needs a second look. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
37 starts, with her only wins coming last year on AW in February and at Ffos Las (1m6f, good) in July; went off the boil this January-March and no revival 15 days ago, after a break, but she'd be a major player if back on song. |
14/1 |

7th 7 (1) |
7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Two wins from 36 starts; runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f) in December but below that level in three starts since, including when a 12l third of ten here over 1m6f last time; still has place claims. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three-time AW winner; ran well when second of 15 at Chester (1m4f, good) in May but she's been below her best in the four starts since; on a workable mark but others have stronger claims. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Versatile sort who was runner-up at Chester (12.3f, good) in May but she's not easy to predict and was tailed off in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June; beaten over 12l when 50-1 here (7f) a fortnight ago and younger legs are likely to prevail. |
16/1 |

6th 7 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Versatile sort who was runner-up at Chester (12.3f, good) in May but she's not easy to predict and was tailed off in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time; back in calmer waters now but she looks weighted near best off this mark and others are preferred. |

His last two starts were better than his first two this year, but he still needs much more and is 5lb out of the handicap. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |

Sole win in 68 career starts did at least come over fences but he's not in much form and 10lb out of the weights. |
40/1 |
|
6th 10 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten on both starts this year (3m1f/2m3f) and makes no appeal from 10lb out of the handicap. |
