13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Snapped a losing sequence in big field at Newbury (6f, good) in April and good second there (6f, good) since; won over C&D in 2024 2yo campaign and he should be fine back up to 7f; bang in form and he's one to consider. |

Narrowly regained the winning thread in big field over C&D (good) last time when dropped back to 6f for first time since debut; unexposed at this trip and still looks favourably treated back up just 3lb; respected. |

Campaigned over as far as 10.3f and this will be his first 6f run since his 2yo debut; well beaten in the Lincoln on his reappearance (1m, good to soft); dangerous mark judged on best 2025 effort (7f, good to soft); trip is a query but Oisin Murphy a notable booking. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Form figures of 22216 at York; Wednesday's sixth can be upgraded as he was comfortably on top of those drawn high; returning to 6f should suit and he is proven on slow ground, for all that his best efforts have been on good to firm; high on the list. |

6th 2 (16) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Looked one to follow when bolting up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in December and, after a series of misfortunes befell him early in the year, things have finally clicked this summer; saw off his 20 rivals over 6f here last month and then went down all guns blazing in the Stewards' Cup; another 3lb higher today but may not have reached his ceiling; high draw could be a negative. |

2nd 13 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Looked one to follow when bolting up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in December; had numerous excuses for a series of subsequent defeats but things finally clicked again at York (6f, good to firm) last week, gamely repelling 20 rivals; 2lb wrong under his penalty but he has Group-race aspirations and shouldn't be passed over lightly. |

Three-time 7f turf winner who was close to career-best form when second of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) last month but he weakened to finish well adrift of Crimson Spirit at Goodwood last week. |
15/2 |

16th 5 (16) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time 7f turf winner who finished eighth of 16 in the 3yo handicap over C&D at this meeting last year for James Owen; had been gelded before finishing down the field in first two starts for this yard but was close to career-best form when second of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago; that was a bunch finish but 1lb nudge still looks reasonable; considered despite tricky stall. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Turf maiden winner who showed spark as recently as January (AW) and he's dropped down the weights; however, he's struggled on grass on his last two starts and a major turnaround is needed in first-time blinkers. |
16/1 |
|
14th 15 (4) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
On a competitive mark on his best form and he's effective on soft ground; this lightly raced 4yo might have needed the run at Bath 16 days ago following a break but he's inconsistent and others are more compelling. |

5th 1 (4) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

C&D winner as a 2yo; stood little racing since 2024 but there were more promising signs at Lingfield (7f, AW) when last seen in January; others look stronger. |

12th 18 (18) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Progressed well as a 2yo, ending with a 6f win at Newbury (heavy; also stays 7f); has kept it low key in just three runs this season but more testing ground can play in his favour; now has a go in cheekpieces. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |

Novice win in 2024 remains his sole win in 18 Flat races and he has performed poorly in his two previous visits here; well-held third over hurdles last week; not overly appealing. |

3rd 6 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Just 1-18 on the Flat but showed fair form when placed twice over 1m2f this spring; should have a future over hurdles but he made a low-key start in this sphere over C&D (good; 20-1) last month; stablemate of Chemistry. |

14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

Went close first time out as a 2yo for Andrew Balding and landed the odds in a C&D maiden on his comeback last March, so has that in his favour; closed out last season with a win in a seller but will need to improve on his five handicap efforts. |

1st 5 (4) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Sole win in ten runs came when 1-7f for a 1m AW maiden in March for Andrew Balding, whom he left for 28,000gns; stable debut in August was okay but well beaten on soft ground last month; would seem more likely to give his running than some but he is not straightforward. |

Modest since joining Nigel Tinkler (0-6) but there was merit to his Carlisle second (7f, soft) on penultimate start; that track seems to bring out the best of his abilities so, although fairly weighted, he couldn't rate as a confident pick. |

3yo whose profile is very up and down and he was well beaten at York four weeks ago; however, nine days earlier he was a close fourth at Haydock (7f, good to firm) on reappearance and he won a 7f maiden here last July; could be in the shake-up if leaving last time behind. |

Tremendous progress last season; odds-on flop when rather forced to make the running in the Yorkshire Cup here on 2026 return; ran on nicely for a creditable sixth of 12 in a very strong Hardwicke at Royal Ascot (1m4f) next time but unseated leaving the stalls with a mishap in the Goodwood Cup (2m; 17-2); that leaves his stamina unproven but he stays at least 1m6f; unraced on softer than good to yielding; a leading contender if he gets this new trip and there's fair chance he will. |

Unraced on ground slower than good to yielding; disappointing favourite in the Yorkshire Cup on reappearance but that's his only blip in an otherwise progressive career; justified favouritism in the King Edward VII Stakes over C&D at this meeting (good to firm) 12 months ago, taking record at that time to 5-5, then ran well in the Irish St Leger and Breeders' Cup Turf; possibilities, provided his upward trajectory is resumed. |
