12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive last year, with his three wins including two at Ascot (one over C&D); confirmed his affinity for the track with a good fourth in the Wokingham three weeks ago, a race where he was finishing fast up the stands' rail and comfortably beating the others to race on that part of the track; 1lb rise manageable but with the stalls on the stands' side there must be a query over the suitability of stall 1. |

4th 29 (29) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Regularly runs well in big-field sprints and in fine form here in 2024, finishing a close second of 26 over C&D before winning both subsequent starts (good and soft); may be high in the weights relative to this class of race but he shouldn't be far away following a luckless Goodwood run and then slightly short of room at York since. |
20/1 |

7th 3 (12) |
14th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Made good progress last season, winning handicaps over C&D and twice at Ascot (5f and 6f); unplaced twice this year but looked to need the run at Southwell and then met plenty of trouble at Goodwood 12 days ago (saw little daylight between 2f out and 1f out as the race was unfolding); 1lb lower today and Oisin Murphy, who won on him at Ascot in October, takes over; still has something to prove on good to firm, albeit he had a bleak draw when well held at the Ebor meeting last year. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
His form has taken a downturn but he's dropped down the weights and there was some promise in his eighth of 14 at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last week in reapplied blinkers (retained), when not beaten far despite being denied a clear run; drops in grade here and could have a part to play. |
11/4 |

8th 4 (2) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Six AW runs have yielded four wins, a second and a close fifth (stable debut after a six-month break and off a 7lb higher mark than today's); has blown hot and cold on turf since April but the blinkers worn for his last four wins now return (has raced exclusively in cheekpieces since joining Robert Cowell) and he should make a bold bid to maintain an unbeaten C&D record. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hit the ground running for this yard, his Ripon win in April backed up by arguably unlucky fourth at Goodwood the following month; not beaten far in the Dash here next time and led on the line at Windsor (again 5f, good to firm) last Monday; 4lb penalty to overcome and his best has come at 5f, but he's still considered. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
In good form for his new yard, faring best of those drawn low in the Epsom Dash last time back in the trademark cheekpieces; bit unlucky at Goodwood on his previous start too and remains on a fair mark; one to consider. |
6/1 |

7th 17 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Trained by James Evans when winning this race in 2024 off a 5lb higher mark (good to soft); well beaten in it last year but he arrives in good form for his new stable, winning at Ripon in April and not enjoying the cleanest run when fourth at Goodwood 15 days ago; rain won't hurt his chance and he's of obvious interest. |

10st 4lb |
Had a fine year in 2024, winning three 5f races, two of them at Listed level; not hit the same heights yet this year but she's tumbling down the weights and this represents a drop in class; 7f the query. |

Had a fine year in 2024, winning three 5f races, two of them at Listed level; not hit the same heights yet this year but she's dropped 8lb for her efforts; a revival isn't out of the question. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Tough filly who landed two Listed races last season; hasn't quite recaptured her best in two runs this season and this looks a hot race for the grade; apprentice unable to claim his 5lb either. |

10st 2lb |
Arrives in fine form and bidding for a hat-trick following back-to-back 6f wins here, emphatically making all on latter occasion; has won over the minimum trip too so rates a big player under a 4lb penalty. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Has performed well in both starts over C&D, including a game success 16 days ago (good); much more exposed than his rivals, but still high on list from 3lb higher. |

Snapped a losing sequence when down in class to score at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on Saturday; 5lb penalty leaves him with a fair burden to carry but he's in the same grade and should make his presence felt. |

Infrequent winner who's tried in a third form of headgear after a few recent runs over 6f (two here); handicapper has given him a chance, dropping him another 3lb, but the cheekpieces will need to make a difference. |

Not won since his stellar campaign in 2024 but there has been promise this year, including at Hamilton on Friday; 2lb lower today and now sports cheekpieces for the first time; chance. |

3rd 6 (4) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
10yo who is winless since August 2024 and needs to improve upon his last few performances; however, he's a nine-time course winner, including this race in 2024, and his reduced mark appeals on form as recent as this May; not discounted. |

8th 4 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Regressive 10yo who has not won since 2024; ran well on consecutive 7f starts in April/May and is well handicapped on those efforts but recent sprint form has been below par. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Back on song when convincing winner of a 6f Listed event at Naas (yielding) last October; unable to get involved in two runs at that level in 2026 but he was badly checked back at Naas in April and in better form than the 5l defeat suggests; however, he has more to prove back on this track with good to firm ground quicker than ideal; regular cheekpieces are discarded. |

Five-time winner best with a bit of cut in the ground; sole win last season came in a Listed heat at this venue (6f, yielding); may have needed his comeback at Cork and likes it here, but would probably like to see some rain. |

Multiple winner, the latest last July when 10lb higher; a market check is advised but this 8yo has been well beaten on his last three starts and needs to turn things around. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Multiple winner, including this race on good to firm off 7lb higher in 2024 (sixth last year); quiet in three runs this season but worth a look in the betting given his previous in this contest. |
