15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive handicapper last year; took form to a new level with a Listed win at Doncaster on his seasonal return and performed to a similar level when second in the Group 3 Abernant at Newmarket in April; Group 1 company was too much to handle at Royal Ascot and a mighty performance will be needed to defy his big weight back in a handicap (12lb higher than for his narrow Ascot win last October). |
9/1 |
|
15th 2 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Last season concluded with C&D handicap win (soft); better than ever this year with a Listed win (6f, good to soft) and Group 3 second (6f, good) and another solid run when fifth of 13 in Group 2 at York (6f, good) last time; however, his form needs to go to another new level today. |
40/1 |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Steadily progressive over 6f, mostly in handicaps prior to showing bigger things this season by bagging Listed honours at Doncaster (good to soft) and finishing a good second in Group 3 at Newmarket (good); at the top of his form and may rate higher still; in the mix. |

Resurgent 5yo who won at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in September before a close call at Wolverhampton the following month; this is tougher back in a Class 2 but he remains well handicapped on his best form and is not ruled out. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Fully 15lb lower than when winning at Lingfield (6f, AW) last December but this 9yo has regressed in recent months; has to turn things around. |

On a good mark, fully 14lb lower than when winning last season's Great St Wilfrid, but 0-14 at 5f and he is drawn out wide. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Has not yet won above Listed level; anything but disgraced when mid-division in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot or when a close fifth to Redorange in a C&D Listed race after, but it's hard to see her in this picture. |
150/1 |
|
15th 9 (10) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Respectable effort in midfield in the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last month before 1l fifth of 13 in Listed race at York (5f, good to firm); however, a career best is needed today. |
25/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Likeable mare with a good strike-rate; ran at least as well as could have been expected when midfield in Group 1 at Royal Ascot (125-1) last time, but she was only fifth to Washington Heights in Listed event the time before; may again be up against it. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won twice on AW (6f) for Robert Cowell last autumn and he is thrown in on that form; not at his best for new yard this year and hopes rest on the return to sprinting reviving his fortunes. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
0-7 for new stable this season; outran 28-1 odds when placed at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June and is now 4lb below that mark but his more recent efforts have been underwhelming; others preferred. |
25/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All five wins have been for previous trainers over 6f/7f; his two runs over 1m have not proved his stamina for the distance, but this does represent a class drop so all is not lost. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Not proving the easiest to catch right since going in at Newcastle (5f) in February but he comes here on the back of a good second of six in 5f Newmarket handicap a week ago; in the mix if on his A-game again. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win on turf, but is now 2lb lower than when scoring on Tapeta at Newcastle (5f) in February and he did well under the circumstances when fourth of 11 at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago, faring best of those from off the pace (started slowly); a rare Newmarket runner for his Scottish stable. |
13/2 |

4th 5 (11) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Goodwood (5f, good) in the spring and has remained in form, second of seven at Lingfield last time; no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts again but he's fully exposed after 52 starts. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Recent form includes a turf success but he's only 1-19 in this sphere and still has a much better strike-rate on AW; below par at Brighton last time. |

Three-time C&D winner, including twice off higher marks in the month of April; unlucky third, having found daylight too late, in this race 12 months ago; soft ground was against him here last weekend; likely player if the cards drop right. |
10/1 |
|
9th 6 (8) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Below best on latest course start in October but has a strong C&D record otherwise, three wins include this race (good to soft) last year; now 2lb lower and primed for a good run if he avoids trouble in running. |
9/2 |
|
7th 10 (4) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he did score twice in 2025, the latter win over C&D; 3lb higher in a better race this time and he'll need to be somewhere near last year's best to take this after four months off. |

9st 3lb |
Six-time course winner who is versatile trip-wise but all of his wins have been on good or slower and last two have been in the mud; on a dangerous mark but he didn't fire in his three runs this season; has often worn cheekpieces but is now blinkered first time; non-runner here (7.35) on Friday. |
25/1 |

5th 2 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

His nine wins have been on good ground or slower, with six of them coming at Chester; caught wide there on his reappearance and was well held in seventh there over 7f 13 days ago; drops back in trip with cheekpieces back on. |

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. |
11/2 |

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. |

Seven wins include three on turf and it was a first success at 7f when scoring at Newcastle (AW; stays 1m) in December; took a good step forward from his return to turf when a keeping-on fourth at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; respected. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

A three-time 6f/7f scorer in 2025; kept busy and in good form (on the AW) this term until only 16th in 7f York handicap eight days ago; he's the type to bounce back though. |
16/1 |

16th 18 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has raced almost exclusively on Newcastle's AW since joining Phil Kirby last autumn, winning three times (6f/7f) and placed on six other occasions, including last four starts; three 6f turf wins earlier in career (including here on good to firm) provide hope that he can continue the good work now back on the grass. |

Looked a smart prospect when running away with a Kempton novice last November (6f) and again when making all at Doncaster on his handicap debut in May (6f, good to firm; hooded first time); low-key runs twice since (Royal Ascot on first occasion) but the potential remains for a bigger effort at some point; stall 12 not ideal though. |
