1st 7 (11) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Below par in first-time blinkers at Epsom last month but the good to soft ground may not have suited and he's back in a visor today, in which he went close at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May; has an each-way shout. |
7/1 |

15th 15 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won a Salisbury maiden (1m2f, good to firm) last June when sporting first-time cheekpieces for previous yard; yet to score for current stable but he's been placed on six of those seven starts and it was a narrow defeat when second of ten at Windsor (1m, good to firm; visored) under Silvestre De Sousa latest; soft going would ask a question but he's well drawn to go forward and newly fitted blinkers might eke out more. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Record is only 1-12 and most of his form is over middle distances; however, looks a possible danger at this level provided he's suited by returning to 1m for first time since debut. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 3-9 includes two wins at the Newmarket tracks; good second, beaten only a neck, in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently; due to go up 3lb in future; strong contender. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (31) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who was 3-5 last term, readily winning at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) final start; hindered by racing alone returned to that C&D last time; may still have more to offer and can't be written off; Billy Loughnane (up for first time) is a booking of note. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 3-6 when winning a C&D handicap (good to firm) last September, making virtually all; gelded subsequently; reappeared with close fourth of eight in conditions race at Thirsk (7f, good) three weeks ago and could show the benefit of that outing today; this 4yo is firmly in calculations. |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive sort who won over 7f at Kempton on reappearance and ran respectably on handicap debut (1m) last time; switches to turf for the first time but open to improvement and should go well. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
17th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
$210,000 yearling; made a successful return from 209 days off in a slowly run Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) last month; open to further progress now making his handicap debut; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
3 (2) |
28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
$210,000 yearling; ran green when fifth on Wolverhampton debut last October and he built on that with a promising third at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) 24 days later; that form puts him firmly in the picture and he's respected on return. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Charlie Johnston and he went close at Southwell (1m, AW) on his final start for that yard; beat only one rival home on his stable debut 174 days ago and now has his first try over 6f; cheekpieces left off. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 10 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Kempton effort when trapped out wide; in good hands and bred to be better than this mark but not obviously ahead of the handicapper at present. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Below par turned out quickly last time and given a rest since; has shown his recent improvement on turf and this return to AW presents a question mark. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark on first run over 1m at Leicester (good to firm) two weeks ago, despite not getting the best of runs; should go well again off 2lb higher. |
9/2 |
|
1st 1 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Didn't progress in six runs for the Gosdens and the handicapper has been in command for new yard in 2026; latest Redcar effort can be upgraded though and he holds each-way claims off his reduced mark. |

1st 28 (33) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to fire in French Listed race last time; broadly progressive in handicaps and went close in the Lincoln when bidding for a five-timer (ran creditably in Spring Cup next time); however, chance partly depends on the weather, as he's ideally suited by ground softer than good. |
16/1 |
|
5th 11 (14) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Progressive 4yo; 5-6 over 7f but showed he's just as effective at 1m when making Urban Lion pull out all the stops in the Lincoln at Doncaster (good to soft) three weeks ago; 1lb better off for a nose defeat and there should be little between the pair again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 12 (5) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 7f here in September (good to soft) and October (soft) to complete a four-timer; all of those wins came by less than 1l, suggesting he's a type who only just does enough, and there may be more left in the tank; worth another crack at 1m and could be in the mix if seeing it out. |
10/1 |
Verdict
Godolphin runners MUSIC OF TIME and Palmarian are particularly interesting, in that provisional order of preference, with room for flexibility depending on the market signals. The betting should provide further guidance across the board in this contest for newcomers.[Steve Boow]
