20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Winner here but that was in 2023 and there's been no win anywhere since July 2024; not far away this summer and he continues down the weights but latest performance (C&D) won't cut the mustard; first-time tongue-tie joins the recent cheekpieces. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
All four wins have been at 1m including three on Polytrack; well treated on old form and he's run respectably in last two starts but his last win was over two years ago and others are more persuasive. |
7/1 |
|
7th 10 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
On an advancing losing run but he's well handicapped and bubbling under; too free (not for the first time) for a 7lb claimer last time and far from disgraced to finish fourth of eight at Yarmouth; interesting with Cieren Fallon taking over. |

8yo who has won five times on the July Course here, including two this year; 0-9 on this track but latest fifth of 23 in the Cambridgeshire was highly creditable; another who can't be discounted. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
8yo who has run well in this race previously and won two in a row on the other Newmarket course in July; however, he's finished no better than fifth across his last five outings and it's probably best to look elsewhere. |

Over two years since his last win and his latest 1m run here was a poor one; better expected now dropping into Class 6 company though. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All wins have been over further when hooded and he's 0-7 at about 7f (has placed form); hasn't really fired in any of his last three races but this is easier than he's accustomed to; unraced at Chester. |
9/2 |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Won back-to-back races at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but he's been generally disappointing since; on dangerous mark on this step back up in trip but needs to turn things around; tongue-tie added. |
9/2 |

9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Won back-to-back at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but has been below par of late; paid the price for doing too much too soon when a weakening fifth to Stellarmasterpiece (1m4f, here; beaten 2l) on penultimate start; easing mark helpful. |
11/2 |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Made all when winning in a small field at Musselburgh in April (2m, good) and he followed up in Jersey 19 days later; poor run at Doncaster last month but he bounced back with a solid effort at Catterick last week (1m4f, good to firm); shouldn't be far away. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner whose most recent win was at Kempton (1m, AW) last October off 1lb lower; not so good in his only four races since; absent 187 days before his last of 12 at Sandown four weeks ago, so he's a touch speculative this time. |
20/1 |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Front-runner who won at Kempton (1m, AW) last October; however, this 8yo wasn't at the top of his game at Southwell (1m, AW) in January and he may improve for this first outing since. |
