17th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Quiet in Bahrain over the winter and fared no better back in Britain when a remote last of seven at Goodwood two weeks ago; has lots of ability, on a lowly mark, tongue-tie returns and stable amongst the winners but, even so, he's not a solid option. |

Inconsistent 6yo but he has plenty of talent, as witnessed at Yarmouth last summer when he powered home to win a Racing League handicap (6f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; out of sorts in Bahrain over the winter; can win a nice prize this year but not sure this race will set up ideally for his hold-up style. |

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. |

1-29, that win in a 5f Chelmsford novice (for Olly Murphy) back in February 2024; third at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) in July but his efforts either side of that don't instill confidence; notable Billy Loughnane is booked. |

Has only won a Chelmsford 5f novice in 28 starts but well handicapped on best form and he was only 2l away over this trip at Nottingham a month ago (good to firm); has new handling this afternoon but should run well. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner (September 2022); reliable in 2026, inching ever closer; beaten a nose by the in-form Mr Cool at Redcar (6f, good; 12-1) ten days ago; small 2lb rise, coupled with less favourable low draw, enough to further frustrate? |
3/1 |

2nd 7 (2) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

Reliable sort who comes here on the back of a good second of nine in 5f Pontefract handicap 17 days ago; can make his presence felt off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Posted two good thirds at the start of last month (5f/5.6f, good to firm) before midfield finish in big-field Class 4 at York (6f, good to firm); the drop back in trip/grade can help and he could be in the mix. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
His last win was 15 months ago but he made a bold when a close third off a reduced mark over C&D (good to firm) last time; responded well to first-time cheekpieces in that race and has claims if the headgear works again. |
15/2 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won on the other course here (6f, good to firm) last May but he's been up and down since and has been out of sorts in his last two starts; now 8lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival with cheekpieces added. |
12/1 |
|
10th 2 (11) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Merely mid-division at Newmarket (6f, good) three weeks ago but prior to that he took a step back in the right direction when third on the Rowley Mile there (6f, good) and his stable is in fine form; not discounted. |

Hasn't looked back since switched to this venue, winning over 7f in March before two fine runs over this trip, winning as he pleased on the latter occasion seven weeks ago; up 6lb against stronger opposition but he's high on the list all the same. |

Runner-up in 6f handicaps at Thirsk and Newmarket this month; should run his race but a 3lb rise for the latest defeat does ask a stiffer question of him. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has a patchy profile but he won at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in May and was runner-up over this trip at Thirsk (good) 13 days ago; back up 2lb in the weights but he was clear of the third last time and has claims if he can back that up. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Very disappointing at Ascot (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago which needs forgiving, but his Chepstow success (7f, good to firm) in May was the only occasion he has dropped into Class 6 company in more than two years; worth a second look. |

11-time turf winner who won by 4l at Lingfied in July but he's been a long way below that form in three subsequent runs; this return to 6f is no problem but he needs a major revival on belated Tapeta debut; blinkers reapplied. |

Inconsistent and winless this year and well beaten at York (6f, good to firm) recently; however, that was more competitive than this and two starts ago he ran well when third of 17 at Ayr (6f, good); may have a chance. |
