18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
4yo who was suited by the return to 6f when winning the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket (66-1) by a neck from Big Mojo; hampered and unable to recover behind same rival in Sprint Cup at Haydock (25-1) next time; closely matched with several of these at her best and may well bounce back. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
4yo who was suited by the return to 6f when winning the Group 1 July Cup at 66-1 at Newmarket (good to firm) last time; won a Group 3 on heavy ground last September; needs to prove that latest performance was no one-off but her 6f form-figures now read 21111 and she's entitled to respect. |
8/1 |

1st 10 (15) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Very useful filly whose 5f record features a Group 3 win last September; faces a difficult task on ratings but is interesting returned to 6f, having posted form figures of 2111 over this distance, most recently bagging Listed honours on French soil last August. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Group 1-entered filly who created a pretty good impression when winning comfortably on debut at Yarmouth (6f, soft) last month, then easily beat modest rival in 5f match race a fortnight later (good to firm); has a lot more on her plate here but it's very hard to gauge the limit of her ability. |

Shadwell castoff; moved well and stretched clear late on to make a winning start at Yarmouth (6f, soft; 7-4) and the third has won since; looks useful. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Commendable third of 18 on seasonal debut at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in May and bounced back from lesser effort when close second at Newmarket (5f, good) last week; remains on a workable mark and the forecast rain won't faze him; shortlisted. |
5/1 |

2nd 5 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Disappointed when dropped back to 5f in June and absent for ten weeks since but was commendable third of 18 on seasonal debut at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in May and is now 1lb lower; player if back on song. |
10/1 |

8th 9 (9) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Soon off the mark for this yard at Chelmsford (AW) in December and it was a fine return when quickly out of the stalls and finishing third of 18 at Ascot (again 6f, good to firm); respected off the same mark despite his unfavourable draw; goes on all ground. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
In-form 9yo whose last four runs have been over C&D; failed narrowly under a penalty two weeks ago (behind Fifty Nifty) but 1lb lower here and should be involved. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Retains plenty of vitality aged nine; record over C&D features wins in this race two years ago and in his last two starts, latest by a neck seven days ago; rock-solid kept to this scenario and likely to remain competitive even with 4lb penalty. |
4/1 |

1st 3 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His last three wins have been over C&D and latest was in a Class 4 on good to firm 13 days ago; that was a narrow success but he finished well to beat the favourite and is only 2lb higher here; respected. |

Ended a two-year losing run with a hard-fought success at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June; 3lb higher on a first AW outing since April 2024; others appeal more. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on this track as 2yo; winless since that season but he's shown enough to think he can be placed to advantage off a reduced mark; had a troubled start to the season at Beverley but it's too soon to write him off; hood refitted with cheekpieces added. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Not a prolific winner; rather disappointing for this yard in a light campaign last season, best run when third at Haydock in September (5f, good; hood on for first time); no hood this time; on a good mark and could go well. |

She hasn't matched her peak Irish 2yo form in five runs for her new stable this year; last week's Newmarket third will need bettering if she's to feature but the addition of cheekpieces might help. |

3rd 2 (3) |
9th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

A 5f winner in Ireland last September but hasn't offered a great deal in four handicaps for new yard this season and this is a belated first run at 7f. |

22nd Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Justified favouritism in a Down Royal maiden (5f, good) last September but she's been well held in three handicaps for new yard this season and is now 1-10; down the list. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Front-runner who was beaten off only inside the final 1f at Lingfield last time; should make another bold bid but he's still 4lb higher than when making all at Yarmouth in the spring. |

3rd 3 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |

Front-runner who's drawn to attack and boasts a solid record over C&D; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark, though, for a yard also responsible for Ziggy's Missile. |
8/1 |

8th 6 (5) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |

Front-runner who was found an ordinary Yarmouth handicap when winning easily in the spring; handicapper had his say for that and he finished well beaten behind Dream Composer upped in class at Epsom last time; yard also runs Rhythm N Hooves. |

Has had more success on AW and his last turf win was in 2023; several bits of 2024 and 2025 turf form give him a good shout off this career-low mark but his more recent efforts are less encouraging. |
