20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
He's won over 7f but his two July course wins came over 6f; well handicapped now and although his form seems to have slacked off since he went close over this C&D in June this is his first 7f run since; not ruled out. |
9/1 |

6th 1 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Normally races over 6f/7f but has form at 1m; usually runs in Class 4; gained last three wins at the Newmarket tracks; inconsistent in 2026 but this represents a drop back in grade, off an attractive mark to boot. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Goes well on both Newmarket courses, including a win in this race on good to firm two years ago; good third over C&D last month but behind Yes I'm Mali when only sixth back here a fortnight ago. |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had some useful handicap form over 6f and 7f last year, winning twice and running well at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last August when rated 4lb higher; not found his best form this season and now returns to AW with cheekpieces enlisted; revival possible. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Two wins during a progressive 3yo campaign but he's been well held as favourite in his two runs (6f/7f) this season; has bit to prove but he's edging back down the weights and this new trip looks worth exploring. |
3/1 |
|
4 (4) |
17th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Disappointing favourite at Goodwood on reappearance but perhaps the track and the drop back to 6f were against him; progressive in handicaps last season and this lightly raced 4yo could still have more to offer for a top trainer who has won two of the last four runnings of this race. |

28th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Ended a losing run when gamely fending off another in-form rival over C&D 11 days ago; 3lb rise is not excessive and this is a weaker race, so he has to feature prominently in calculations. |

8th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Good record in AW sprints and she recorded a personal best with a front-running win at Yarmouth three weeks ago (6f, good to firm; well backed); 3lb rise to deal with but she's back against her own sex and can't be ignored. |
9/2 |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Three heavy defeats at big prices in 6f handicaps at York this summer; easy to write off this 11yo on that evidence but he comes alive at Newmarket (six wins and three placed efforts from 14 visits) and he is 9lb lower than when a close third behind Spring Bloom and Dashing Dick in this race last year; revival would come as no surprise. |
20/1 |

15th 16 (1) |
25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Had C&D form earlier in career; losing run goes back two years and although well treated on some good placed runs over 6f in 2024 he hasn't looked likely to capitalise so far this year. |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4-29 on turf and although he hasn't won on genuine soft ground he again showed he acts on it when second at Bath (5.7f) latest; each-way player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
21st Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has patchy record but he won on fast ground at Windsor (5f) in July and was beaten less than 2l on soft at Redcar (fourth of 11) last time; seems tactically versatile and he's not ruled out on this drop back on grade. |
13/2 |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dropped away in the final furlong in the race won Our Absent Friends at Ripon last week; Paul Mulrennan is a good booking (close fourth on him at Newmarket 11 months ago) but others appeal more. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Prolific down the years but it has been 13 months since the last of them; went close off this mark at Nottingham last month but she failed to back it up at Hamilton eight days later; others preferred for win purposes. |
16/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner, most recently off a 15lb higher mark last August; has mostly struggled since but she was sparked up by first-time blinkers when beaten a neck at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) eight days ago; has to be respected off the same mark. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years, including over C&D last summer, who's regressed sharply in recent times; a few years since she ran at this low a level and that should help, but it will largely hinge on how she responds to wearing headgear for the first time. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |

Won for a second time at Epsom (6f) before a near miss over 5f at Doncaster (off this mark); faced a stiffer task here last time when never in with a shout. |
7/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made it 2-3 round Epsom off a 3lb lower mark a month ago and ran to a similar level in defeat last time; might have been better drawn for one happiest on the sharp end but has tended to be reliable once striking form in the past; should go well again. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Scored off a career-low mark to land his eighth success, at Epsom (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; back up 2lb but has recorded back-to-back wins previously so cannot be discounted. |
