16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has moved in the right direction on AW since returning from lengthy layoff but the form suggests he doesn't retain peak ability; the 8yo is the oldest contender back on turf. |

2nd 2 (7) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Second run back from a long break (C&D) was better than the first; on a good mark if able to take another step forward. |

Smart sprint handicapper but off for 13 months after finishing third over C&D on New Year's Day 2025 and always behind on his Chelmsford comeback 26 days ago; needs to have come on a lot. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Ran a stormer over C&D on his seasonal return; the ground went against him at Epsom on Derby day and he has quickly bounced back with placed efforts at Beverley and Newmarket; up 2lb for latest near-miss but still on a good mark; Oisin Murphy booked; decent chance. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
First run for Michael Keady when winning this race 12 months ago off a 3lb higher mark; two good runs on fast ground this year (below par on slower going in the Epsom Dash) and he's likely to make another bold bid. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Blows hot and cold but he is on a dangerous mark and his second of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in May was a fine effort; subsequent run in the Dash at Epsom can be forgiven (ground) and this should be more to his liking; other pace influences on show. |

9st 3lb |
Latest three wins were over C&D (good to firm and good) and although her most recent efforts haven't been up to much (in cheekpieces the last twice, now discarded) she was thereabouts in two strong 6f handicaps here in the spring; might be all the better for a recent break and not dismissed. |
10/1 |

8th 2 (3) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Had an excellent 2024 season, winning two over 6f and close up in strong 5f handicaps (all on good or quicker ground) as well; this season hasn't been going so swimmingly, though, with fitting cheekpieces no obvious help at Ascot (back over 5f) 17 days ago; has to turn things round. |
7/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Fourth in last season's Palace Of Holyroodhouse over C&D and she's rated 2lb lower now; hasn't found her best yet in 2025 but cheekpieces are now added and the stable is in good form; interesting. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Finally ended a 49-race losing run at Southwell (5f, AW) in January; now 2lb lower than for that success and this company is much easier than that he normally keeps, but his record of 1-47 on turf still makes him hard to warm to. |
6/1 |

5th 13 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and posted a respectable effort at Newmarket (5f, good) last month; however, he was down the field at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago and is now just 1-46 on turf; others preferred. |
20/1 |

14th 15 (16) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and he is just 1lb higher today; solid effort at Newmarket 17 days ago when not ideally positioned; each-way claims at a track where he has run well in much better races than this one. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Still rather weighted to the hilt but his C&D record reads 1523, the fifth-place finish in this contest 12 months ago; on the same (near-peak) mark but Toby Moore takes off a handy 7lb this time; could go well. |
14/1 |

12th 6 (1) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won two feature handicaps last summer (6f/7f) but only midfield in this contest (third of 12 in the stands' side group); ran a fine race when second at Ascot (7f, good to firm) in July but he flopped in the Stewards' Cup (sent off favourite) and neither of his runs since suggest he is the answer this time; trainer won both this race and the Silver Cup last year. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won a valuable C&D handicap last summer before bolting up in the Stewards' Cup one week later; another fine course run when second of 16 in July and he was heavily supported for a Stewards' Cup repeat one week later, only to stumble leaving the stalls; wasn't far off his best over 1m here four weeks ago but this drop back to 7f still looks the right move; player. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish. |
16/1 |
|
8th 12 (5) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better. |
16/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three good runs over the winter (two of them from five runs in Bahrain) but he has struggled in two 7f runs back in Britain since April; handicapper slow to relent and this step up to 1m isn't sure to spark a revival. |
16/1 |
|
13th 6 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
7yo who was well beaten in Bahrain and at Chester on his last two starts; however, he was drawn wide at Chester and showed some good form in Bahrain in January; he's run really well on both previous attempts at this C&D and is not ruled out each-way off a competitive mark. |
20/1 |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Smart in his pomp; 2026 has been a struggle but he has dropped 19lb in the weights and is now eligible for Class 6 company; too much ability to discount but he is looking increasingly moody in the early part of his races. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

His last win was off 15lb higher in July 2025; threatened only once from seven starts this term, in a small field three runs ago, and soon got detached on last two outings, so others are readily preferred. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Well suited by 5f on quick ground; two runs for new stable, finishing third at Sandown last month before winning at Newmarket three weeks ago; 3lb rise still leaves him feasibly weighted. |

1st 2 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
6yo who is well handicapped on last season's best efforts for Michael Bell and made quite an encouraging start for his new yard when third of seven at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, particularly as he was tight for room against the rail; given a chance to build on that with Billy Loughnane taking the reins this time. |

31st May 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Capable of smart handicap form in 2022 and 2023 (RPR 102); ended 2023 tamely though and no sign of a revival in three runs last year; not a solid option but it's possible a change of stable could have freshened him up and he's thrown in if that's the case. |

Won a fast-ground handicap at Lingfield (5f) in May off 2lb higher; up and down since and when fifth of nine over C&D 17 days ago he had been backed into favouritism; too talented to discount at this level. |

Five AW wins but 1-22 on turf and that was at Lingfield (5f, good) in May; has run well in all three course starts, including when losing his lead late on over C&D in June, and although problems at the start can hold him back, he's entitled to be involved. |
