27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Third win last term was clearcut over 1m4f here in August and he ran creditably over 1m6f on turf next time; it's not that hard to forgive this season, given the 1m2f/1m, although he has raced a bit freely; looked the type to make progress this year and this is an eye-catching rethink on trip. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Campaigned over further since the start of last term and gained his handicap double at about 1m4f (stays 1m6f); never dangerous over 1m2f on reappearance; drop back to 1m looks a big negative. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Enjoyed a very good 2025 (three-time 9.5f to 1m4f winner) and he signed off with a good sixth in 1m6f Ascot listed race in October when set a lot to do; hood goes on and can't be ruled out on his seasonal return. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Early promise for Marco Botti, winning a Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, Tapeta) in December 2024, but well beaten on handicap/turf debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) last April; makes stable debut (same owner) after ten months off; market should be revealing. |

11th 2 (7) |
25th Apr 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won comfortably in a maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in December and creditable second to Circus Of Rome in a novice there (9.4f; a head in front of Hot Cash) four weeks ago; can still improve but this looks a tough mark for handicap/turf debut. |

9st 3lb |
Back in form and threatening to regain the winning thread, having finished a creditable second in last two starts, latest at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Oaks day; back up another 2lb but can't be ruled out. |
12/1 |

2nd 16 (12) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Acts on soft going; picked up a maiden here (7f, good) in July 2024 on his debut; fair run of form last year came to a crashing halt when virtually tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and he was back to near his best when second of 13 at Thirsk (1m, good) last time; far from dismissed. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Improved on his debut form when runner-up at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April but he's not gone on from that in two runs since; had some traffic issues at Windsor last time but this looks a tough assignment on the figures and others are preferred. |
5/1 |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Improved on his debut fourth at Wolverhampton when runner-up at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month; didn't build on that at Chelmsford (1m2f) last time but he wasn't beaten far and he's a key player in this ordinary race; respected back up in trip on turf debut. |

9st 0lb |
Lightly raced; won over 1m4f here on handicap debut (soft) last October; fair form since and could go well, although he didn't run to his best on only previous try at this trip; hood on for second time. |
2/1 |

4th 4 (2) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Fifth in his first two starts on the AW, but has improved since including when making a successful handicap debut at Catterick (1m4f, soft) in October; creditable fourth of 12 on his Thirsk reappearance (1m4f, good) last month (third has won since); could go well in the first-time hood. |
5/1 |

4th 4 (12) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |

Made a winning start in handicaps at Catterick (1m4f) in October and not discredited off a 6lb higher mark given he went keenly when fourth at Nottingham (1m6f) in final run; this son of Waldgeist could have more to offer in 2026. |

Placed in maidens at Kempton (1m) and Chelmsford (1m2f) in February/March but hasn't fared so well since, including in two handicaps; been gelded and mark continues to fall but he needs to raise his game at this new trip. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Readily won Lingfield maiden (good to soft) in June before disappointing favourite backers under a penalty at Nottingham (also 1m2f, good) having raced freely the following month; fifth of six on handicap debut at Goodwood (1m4f, good) left plenty to be desired last time; question to answer now but too soon to write her off. |

Big prices all starts and has not shown enough in turf and AW handicaps (1m, 1m3f, 1m4f) to think she can be competitive today; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a handicap here (11.4f, good to firm) last month and backed that up with a creditable third on his return visit seven days later; now drops back in trip but he ran well over C&D in May and he still looks on a workable mark; shortlisted. |

3rd 1 (16) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

0-18 before he won a C&D handicap (good to firm) last Monday, coming from the rear; well beaten in his hurdle races on softer than good but has not encountered it on Flat and having some recent form is respected. |
3/1 |

1st 6 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

0-18 but does possess ability as when second of 15 on his return from four months off here (1m2f, good to firm) nine days ago; usually takes a good grip, though, and this sort of trip has found him out in the past. |

Never better than midfield in AW classified race (1m4f; first-time visor) last month and has now been unplaced all seven starts; needs this new trip to show him in a much better light. |

10 (3) |
26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Safely held over 1m4f in first two handicaps (including AW) and heavy defeat when upped to 1m6f last month; should appreciate this first classified but has a bit to prove now; tongue-tie and visor replace cheekpieces. |
