28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
On a losing run but he posted a very good second after wind surgery at Chester (6f) in June; went without his usual cheekpieces when last of 21 in 6f York handicap last month; no surprise to see him bounce back. |
25/1 |
|
21th 12 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Three poor runs to begin his turf campaign but he underwent wind surgery in June and returned to form with a close second at Chester (6f, good) four weeks ago; not certain to confirm those placings with Stratusnine. |
20/1 |

2nd 5 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |

Seems best on the AW these days and has run poorly on his last three turf outings; his hopes hinge on a recent wind operation having a positive effect. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Arrives in good heart, following a third to Badri at Windsor with a battling success on the same course (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; up 5lb for the win but that form was boosted when runner-up Trefor went one better here on Wednesday; needs to be considered. |
16/1 |
|
1st 9 (4) |
11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Generally consistent for current yard and recent form features a Chepstow success; met traffic issues on his way to third behind Badri and Inishfallen over C&D last time; solid claims. |
10/1 |
|
6 (6) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
First win since his 2yo debut when scoring off a reduced mark at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago; back up 5lb but his confidence should be boosted after that success and he has been generally consistent in handicaps; shortlisted. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 on the AW, but has gone very close on Tapeta on three occasions; 2lb lower than when beaten a head in a 0-110 contest over C&D in August and if able to reproduce that sort of form he would have a good chance. |
7/1 |
|
6 (4) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his lengthy losing run when winning a 7f handicap at Haydock in July; similar form on a couple of occasions since and he ran creditably in a hot 6f handicap at York two weeks ago; one to consider back down into Class 3 company. |
9/1 |
|
17 (11) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Not the force of old (won the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2022) but he ended a long losing run at Haydock (7f, good) in July and went down only narrowly at Newcastle in August; however, he should have fared better at Ascot last time and he's been unplaced on both his previous outings at York. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent and winless this year and well beaten at York (6f, good to firm) recently; however, that was more competitive than this and two starts ago he ran well when third of 17 at Ayr (6f, good); may have a chance. |
6/1 |
|
19th 14 (18) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won a good C&D handicap last year and also successful at Ayr last September; 0-7 in 2026 but he retains all his ability and ran well for third (of 17) at Ayr 19 days ago; high draw a potential stumbling block. |
12/1 |

3rd 5 (5) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Dual C&D winner; finished well for fourth at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) in May but has rather mixed record since returned to turf in April and never really got involved at York last time. |

Hurtling down the weights but for good reason as this multiple winner is looking very regressive. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
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. |
40/1 |

7th 6 (11) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

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. |

Only beaten 1l when fourth in this in 2024; no wins last year and he weakened to finish 5l behind Archduke Ferdinand at Redcar last time; continues to edge down the weights. |
10/1 |

4th 6 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Not the force of old but that is reflected in his mark; had wind surgery prior to York 18 days ago, a race in which he ran with more promise than his finishing position suggests; dropped 3lb and the return of headgear can help; better run can be expected. |

Never easily knocked when competing here; had no excuses behind a couple of these 12 days ago but ran his usual sold race; has won on slow and fast ground. |
10/1 |

4th 9 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Form dipped slightly when never-dangerous favourite in Class 3 here three weeks ago, following two seconds and a win (all also C&D) on previous three starts; back to Class 4 and, like most of these, has each-way claims. |
7/1 |
|
7th 14 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
In excellent form of late and ended a long losing run with a deserved fourth C&D win in eight-runner contest a week ago; very much one to consider under a 4lb penalty with Oisin Murphy again up. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Good run of form ground to a halt at Thirsk ten days ago when he wasn't on his best behaviour in the stalls; has the ability to feature off this mark but is not without risk. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (8) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights before ending a losing run at Newcastle (5f) in March; added a C&D win in April and he has run well in defeat in both runs since; creeping back up the weights and had a 53-day break but he has the ability to go well. |

9st 6lb |
One of his five wins came over C&D in May 2025; third to Amazonian Dream over C&D four weeks ago was an encouraging return from four months off and in-form 5lb claimer is now recruited; in the mix. |
10/1 |

3rd 1 (8) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time turf winner including off 5lb higher over C&D (good to firm) last spring; well held at Wolverhampton when last seen in March but that was after a good spell on AW including a Kempton win; has good record when fresh and he needs a close look back from four months off. |
13/2 |

7th 6 (12) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Opened his AW account in Kempton contest (6f) in December; has remained in form since, without necessarily building on that success; likely needs to raise his game in this field. |

Absent since running respectably when favourite for AW contest in January; on a two-year losing spell but is attractively treated off his lower mark back on turf; further market support should be noted. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 3 |

On a losing run and he has yet to win over this trip; sent off favourite for the corresponding race 12 months ago but faded into tenth; 6lb lower this time around and he has finished second in two of his last four starts; vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
7f has been her optimum trip and she can blow the start, so there is risk attached; however, she showed good speed with a back-to-form second at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month and is not ruled out; has run well on good to soft ground but has struggled when encountering soft. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Often blows the start; everything clicked when she won at Yarmouth (7f, good) in April but she's been more miss than hit otherwise this year; others have less to prove. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

C&D handicap winner who was third to Royal Velvet in a Group 3 at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in May; however, this exposed 6yo faces a tougher assignment in today's line-up and was ninth of 13 in this race 12 months ago; blew the start at Newmarket last time; hood/tongue-tie are applied. |

Latest run at Nottingham is easy to forgive (unsuitable ground) and he had recorded a career-best RPR when winning at Wolverhampton (5f) on his penultimate start; no issue with 6f but 5f is possibly his optimum. |
