8st 12lb |
Winless since his productive 2024 campaign; upped to 7f at Thirsk six weeks ago and put in a good front-running shift, picked off close home by the reopposing Brighton Boy; 3lb better off today but it won't be easy trying to boss this field. |

7th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Both turf wins on soft and won a Listed race on AW in November; ducks and dives regarding the trip but he nearly made his first 6f turf handicap a winning one at Goodwood recently; back up 4lb but has course form at 7f; interesting. |

9st 6lb |
Listed winner in Ireland as a 2yo who regressed sharply for Jamie Osborne; been off for four four months since well held over C&D and the change of scenery will need to have done the trick. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Yet to score this term but his sixth of 21 at the Ebor festival (6f, good to firm) indicated he might be rediscovering his level; that didn't prove the case at Windsor last time but he's too well handicapped to ignore and rain would certainly not hinder him. |
10/1 |
|
9th 16 (11) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Saw out 2025 with three AW wins from his final four starts but he's played only minor roles in turf handicaps this year, including when beaten nearly 5l behind King Of Light over C&D in May; could do with some rain or, failing that, a return to the AW as he's well treated now. |
25/1 |

6th 15 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Ended 2025 in fine form on AW; 0-7 in 2026 but he has slipped 6lb below his last winning mark and has Toby Moore taking another 7lb off his back; suspicion a few will prove stronger. |

3rd 8 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Has four Group 3 wins (on good and good to firm) under his belt; outward appearances suggest this level is beyond him but if the door had opened in time for him in this last year he might have been placed instead of finishing only fifth; frame chance. |
16/1 |

2nd 7 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Reappeared with good second to Night Raider in the Group 3 Palace House at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) and bounced back from below-par run at Royal Ascot to win at Sandown (5f, good) four weeks ago, taking that Group 3 for the second year in a row; has won here and is firmly in calculations. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (9) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Creditable second on reappearance when bidding for a second win in the Palace House at Newmarket; hindered by poor draw at Royal Ascot since; landed this contest (good to firm) 12 months ago, despite carrying 3lb extra, and has no penalty this time; major contender. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped and loves slow ground; in better form than his formfigures suggest but the worry is his tendency to blow the start. |

6th 3 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
1lb below his last winning mark but usually misses the break and has finished out of the frame in all five starts this year; rain would help. |
10/1 |

5th 5 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Can blow the start but he won two C&D handicaps in late 2025 and is well treated on that form; trainer has won the last two renewals of this race; high on the list. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Never easily knocked when competing here; had no excuses behind a couple of these 12 days ago but ran his usual sold race; has won on slow and fast ground. |
10/1 |

4th 9 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Form dipped slightly when never-dangerous favourite in Class 3 here three weeks ago, following two seconds and a win (all also C&D) on previous three starts; back to Class 4 and, like most of these, has each-way claims. |
7/1 |
|
7th 14 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
In excellent form of late and ended a long losing run with a deserved fourth C&D win in eight-runner contest a week ago; very much one to consider under a 4lb penalty with Oisin Murphy again up. |
