24th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Justified favouritism at Bath (off 2lb lower) on stable/seasonal debut but has regressed since; chance depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Well backed when making winning stable debut at Bath (5f, good to firm) in April but hasn't repeated the form in two runs since, favourite each time; just as effective at 6f but needs to get back on track. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
7f has been her optimum trip and she can blow the start, so there is risk attached; however, she showed good speed with a back-to-form second at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month and is not ruled out; has run well on good to soft ground but has struggled when encountering soft. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Often blows the start; everything clicked when she won at Yarmouth (7f, good) in April but she's been more miss than hit otherwise this year; others have less to prove. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
C&D handicap winner who was third to Royal Velvet in a Group 3 at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in May; however, this exposed 6yo faces a tougher assignment in today's line-up and was ninth of 13 in this race 12 months ago; blew the start at Newmarket last time; hood/tongue-tie are applied. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who showed his best form for a while when winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in February; below his best on turf at Goodwood 19 days ago but cannot be overlooked back on AW. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Kickstarted 2026 with all-the-way 6f Wolverhampton win in February; up 2lb but this veteran C&D winner can't be discounted after a break. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned mostly over 6f and on turf; not particularly solid on his form this season for new stable; enough to prove back at 7f for the first time since 2020. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has gained most wins at Windsor; made the frame there last time (second run for new yard) but was beaten 6l and needs to raise his game; losing run is mounting up. |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Solid sprint handicapper for the Channons over the years but only occasional flashes of his old self in 2024; has dropped down the weights but he reappeared for new yard with tailed-off effort at Ascot 16 days ago and can only be watched after that. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since spring 2023 and absent since finishing down the field on final start for George Baker in May; on another career-low mark for stable debut, though, and won't mind what the weather does; swaps cheekpieces for first-time eyeshields. |
10/1 |

9th 5 (13) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Bolted up in a 6f fillies' h'cap at Windsor 12 months ago on good-to-firm for George Boughey; last of 14 on yard debut at Naas early this month after a 303-day absence so entitled to come on for it but this trip probably stretches her. |

4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 3lb |
Bolted up in fillies' h'cap at Windsor 12 months ago on good-to-firm; two lesser efforts on easier ground since; has to defy a 303-day absence on stable debut but is still lightly-raced and would appreciate quick ground. |
11/1 |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Has claims on her clearcut win off 6lb lower at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in August but she then ran poorly over the same C&D three weeks later; easier ground was blamed but she does have form on soft. |

Excels here and ran another good race at the track when a closing third behind Under The Twilight, having got behind; a faster pace today would play to his strengths; no ground concerns. |

3rd 6 (4) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
9yo who's an eight-time Windsor winner, including this May and June; beat Amazonian Dream in the latter race and runner-up to him here next time, before not disgraced on a first crack at Brighton; reliable sort from off the pace and he has each-way claims again. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Eight-time Windsor winner, including twice of late, who's having a first run round here; ultra-consistent, especially considering his age and that he's usually dropped in, but there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark; yard also responsible for Duskaura. |

Currently 1-33 and the fact he's been beaten at 7-2 or shorter ten times tells its own story; will again be popular under Rossa Ryan after a solid second to Arlecchino's Rex in a C&D handicap a fortnight ago though. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

3yo who is in and out and was well beaten at Windsor last time; however, prior to that he was a close third at Nottingham (6f) and he's also effective on Tapeta; not written off. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Back to his best when a close third of eight at Nottingham 11 days ago, a slow start not aiding matters; capable of better and won't be inconvenienced by any rain. |
