27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Back to form to take advantage of a reduced mark at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) ten days ago; put back up 8lb and has gained all six wins on going softer than good. |

1st 2 (7) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Thrown in on last season's best form and there were glimmers of a revival at Epsom on Derby Day (6f, soft); drops in class and looks likely to pop up soon but drying ground won't play to his strengths now back to 5f. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Gradually back to form this term, most recently prevailing at Goodwood (6f, good to soft); has never won above Class 5 but she remains favourably treated, having defied current mark last term (over 7f). |
4/1 |

1st 8 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Strike-rate of 4-35; best run for a while when a front-running second at Lingfield (7f, good) and dropping back to 6f won't hinder, nor the slower ground; could have done with a higher draw ideally but should run well. |
13/2 |

2nd 8 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Out of the frame in her last ten starts, but is 4lb lower than when making all over C&D this time last year; by no means written off. |

5f-6f winner when trained in Ireland, including on heavy; placed in all four starts for this trainer but needs to pull out a bit more for a first British success. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Dry since a C&D win in 2023 and has looked on the downgrade in recent times; goes back to cheekpieces from blinkers, minus the tongue-tie again, after four months off; outsider. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

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. |
8/1 |

17th 22 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Slowly away and never a threat on all three starts this year, the latest last weekend; being dropped another 2lb can only help but he isn't obviously in good enough form to add to his 2024 success in this. |

Slowly away and never a threat both starts this year; dropped only 1lb and others make more appeal; one of three runners for Paul Midgley. |

Good second over C&D in December but that's a rare bright spot in the last few months; others look stronger for win purposes. |

Sole AW win was a 6f novice two years ago; in better form in December than he is now but Stevie Donohoe is 1-1 on him (on turf last summer) so there might be a turnaround. |

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. |

9th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer; ran well for second at Epsom in July (6f, good to soft); less convincing in his three starts since, albeit latest run on heavy is easy to excuse; risky but not impossible that this first taste of a Class 5 handicap will prompt a revival. |
16/1 |

25th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Prominent racer; ran well for second at Epsom in July (6f, good to soft); less convincing in his two starts since and plenty to prove on this ground; cheekpieces now tried. |

9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Made a bold bid when runner-up off a reduced mark at Epsom (6f, good to soft) last month but he failed to beat a rival in a big field at Windsor (behind Supreme King) last time; has something to prove again after that and his last win was over two years ago. |
