30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Can be hard to predict but he's a five-time winner after his narrow C&D success here recently (led late on); every chance at these weights with something similar. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Bettered disappointing seasonal debut when fifth of seven at Goodwood (6f, soft) last month and is now back on same mark as when dead-heating at 80-1 at Chelmsford in the autumn but others have more convincing profiles. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
His three good runs this year have all come at Ascot, winning in May (6f, good) and doing best of those in the stands' side group when sixth behind All Ways Glamorous here two weeks ago (cheekpieces on for the first time; first 5f run since 2024); can get it wrong at the start but he has races in him off this mark. |
7/2 |
|
6th 4 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Kept on well when winning a 6f handicap (good) here in May; not so good on his next two starts but he ran well for third back here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; drops back to 5f with cheekpieces enlisted; others preferred for the win. |
12/1 |

3rd 2 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Sole visit here yielded a win over this trip (good) in May but he hasn't figured in two subsequent starts, including when always behind at Windsor 11 days ago; hopes rest on a return to this course firing him back up. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
On a long losing sequence but he got right back on track in a refitted visor with second of 12 in 6f handicap at Hamilton last month; up 2lb but that form is proving strong and he can go well again in retained headgear. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 4 (13) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 18 starts came on his debut in a 5f maiden on soft ground in May 2024 but he has posted some good efforts since; midfield finishes in three starts this year, including when drawn wide at York over 7f on his last two outings; drops back in trip and down in grade with the visor returning. |
7/1 |
|
9th 9 (16) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Beaten 16 times since his winning 2yo debut but there have been several good runs along the way; two midfield finishes in good handicaps this summer; edging down the weights and he should be popping up soon. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
His impressive Newmarket success last May saw him hit hard by the handicapper and he hasn't added to it; chasing home Sondad at Epsom (6f, soft) in June represented his best run of the year but he failed to build on it at Windsor last time; others look safer. |
50/1 |
|
8th 1 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Quite lightly raced since going up 11lb for a wide-margin win at Newmarket (6f, good) in May 2025, but a recent second on soft ground at Epsom (6f; cheekpieces refitted) was a useful effort at the weights and showed him to be back on track; should be in contention again. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won three of her first six starts, including a Doncaster handicap off a 3lb higher mark; mixed results since and might find one or two stronger for win purposes. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins at 6f, including on this course; successful handicap debut at Doncaster (good to firm; has won on good to soft) in April but hasn't gone on and was better drawn than Moulin Booj when they were fourth and fifth on Lingfield AW (5f) 12 days ago; needs more. |
9/2 |
|
10 (2) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Now 2lb lower than for her Doncaster win in April (6f, good to firm); no progress since (5f to 7f) and a hood didn't spark a major transformation at Newmarket two weeks ago, dropping away in the final furlong; only other AW start came over 7f and this trip should be more suitable. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Positives include a C&D record comprising a win and a second and he arrives in top form; whether he is quite well enough treated for a race of this nature remains to be seen though. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Stumbled/unseated in first-time visor (retained since) at Carlisle in May but posted a career-best when winning by 2l over C&D (good) in June, and he was denied a clear run when third of six at Pontefract (6f, good) subsequently; high on the list. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won 5f maiden and novice races as a juvenile; seemingly has limitations in Listed races, twice finishing behind Hold A Dream, albeit beaten about only 2l by that one at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in August when coming from well back last time; another tough task awaits. |
40/1 |
|
8 (9) |
17th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Ran well when fourth of seven at 33-1 in Listed race at Sandown in June (5f, good to firm; Hold A Dream second) but she's finished down the field otherwise this season, most recently back in a handicap at Sandown. |
