28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
7yo who has a good record here and has been better than ever in AW handicaps this year, and he wasn't beaten far when fifth of six in Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; however, his form needs to go to a new level and he's unraced beyond 1m4f on the Flat. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
In the form of his life this winter with a win at Lingfield (1m4f) in February and close calls in his other three outings; those were on AW, which does seem to suit him particularly well, and also in handicaps, which leaves him with something to find in his first Group venture. |

Fourth in this last year on sole previous visit to Newcastle and he's now 3lb higher; went close on first two starts this winter before winning at Lingfield (1m4f) in February; could run well but may prefer a longer trip. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
British raider rediscovered his best when a visor was added last June, winning three handicaps from five starts, the last being the valuable Challenge Cup (7f, soft) at Ascot; ran right up to form on his stakes debut in a Saint-Cloud Group 3 (1m, soft) for seasonal return when a close runner-up; entitled to improve for that and top rated. |
7/2 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Has improved for this visor and he's readily won competitive 7f handicaps here on his last two starts (good to soft/soft); back up to 1m on forecast better ground today but his past record provides hope that he'll cope with both and this thriving 4yo may well take a 6lb penalty in his stride. |
9/2 |

1st 4 (9) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Third in a Britannia on first run at Ascot and came through to beat a few of these on last month's return over this trip on good to soft, reversing previous Goodwood placings with Great Acclaim; raised 8lb but now 2-3 since the visor went on and still improving by the looks. |

Met traffic issues on her way to good fourth of 24 at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm; acts on good to soft) but 1m2f seemed to find her out when she raced freely at Chelmsford (AW) four weeks ago; considered each-way. |

Heavy ground the likely reason for his modest effort at Chester (1m2f) last month, but was only been beaten a neck over the same trip at Epsom (good) the time before; record on the AW reads 321 and stable 31-131 (24%) here in past five seasons; respected. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Generally kept away from fast ground but won easily on good to firm over 1m2f here for Olivia Tubb early in the month; retains most of her ability for a yard enjoying a good spring but she's often come to hand early in the past and a 7lb rise will test her. |

1st 6 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Registered his seventh win when scoring on reappearance at Newbury (1m2f, good) last year and he attracted support before finishing second to an unexposed sort at Epsom (8.5f, good) on recent comeback this time; might not come on a bundle for that but this trip is more suitable and he's in with an each-way chance. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 (9) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Seven wins include five off higher marks than this and one at this track (1m2f, good to soft; has won on good) in 2023; this trip might be on the short side but he went close on his reappearance in 2024 (1m2f) and scored off 2lb higher on his comeback last term (1m2f); not readily dismissed. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
C&D winner in 2022; an underwhelming 2024 campaign for new yard was swept aside when he came from last to first in a nine-runner race at Epsom (1m2f, heavy) last September, scoring in tidy fashion with first-time cheekpieces (kept since); however, pulled up lame in the November Handicap next time and tailed off at Epsom sole run this year. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
An underwhelming campaign for new yard was swept aside when he came from last to first in a nine-runner race over C&D (heavy; his only visit here) last September, scoring in tidy fashion with first-time cheekpieces and never better; pulled up lame off this 5lb higher mark in the November Handicap on sole run since; good soft-ground record before that and won sole run on good to soft; considered if he gets that ground. |

9th Nov 2024 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |

His underwhelming campaign for new yard was swept aside when he came from last to first in a nine-runner race at Epsom (1m2f, heavy) six weeks ago, scoring in tidy fashion with first-time cheekpieces and never better; 5lb higher today and not proven over this far, but that win built on a good soft-ground record and he has won at 1m3f, so he enters calculations. |

14th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Two AW wins this year, one over C&D, and he ran well for a close fourth at Ascot on his penultimate start; poorly drawn when disappointing at Goodwood 11 days ago and he's stuck out wide here too. |
10/1 |

9th 14 (16) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Won over 1m on Polytrack in April and June; ran on well for a close fourth at Ascot (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, which is easily the best of his three turf appearances this year and needs respect, but he'd have more to prove on good to firm. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
9yo who is winless since June 2024 and is nothing like the force of old; however, his recent 4l fourth of eight at Hamilton (8.3f, good) wasn't devoid of promise and he's another 3lb lower today; not ruled out each-way. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Useful C&D winner at his best, but this veteran is without a victory since June 2024 and has offered little in a pair of handicaps (around 1m) at Doncaster and Beverley this spring; cheekpieces are retried. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Useful miler in his prime but his last win was almost two years ago and he's been well held at Newcastle and Doncaster in last two starts; continues to drop down the weights but others are preferred. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Doing surprisingly well over fences as he's not bred for them; he might just be a shade high in the weights now after his hat-trick bid came up shy in a three-runner race but he must still have some sort of chance on ground he handles. |
3/1 |

2nd 4 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Not bred for fences but has collected small-field chase wins on soft ground at Plumpton (2m1f) and Fontwell (2m2f) in recent weeks, and may be even better suited by the forecast good ground on this hat-trick attempt. |
4/5 |

1st 3 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with his sole win over hurdles; ended a losing run when winning over fences at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) last time, off a 4lb lower mark, but needs to build on that against a couple of progressive rivals. |
