22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Ran creditably twice over 1m6f last autumn, including on good to soft; this campaign is not that hard to forgive - over 1m2f/1m on first two occasions and with 2m for the Northumberland Plate (just 8-1) perhaps a stretch last time - although he has raced a bit freely; well treated judged on peak form and could be about to come good again. |

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. |

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. |
7/2 |

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. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Possible to excuse his last two efforts and was running well in defeat before that; 2lb lower than when successful at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) in June last year and, with the likely conditions not an issue, he makes the shortlist. |
7/1 |

10th 1 (14) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Fairly useful 1m winner in 2025; back on track when runner-up in handicaps (around 1m) at Thirsk and Epsom this summer but only eighth at Sandown (1m) last time; needs to bounce back. |
7/1 |

8th 9 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

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. |

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. |

In good nick without winning in 2026 until a below-par eighth of 13 in 1m4f Newcastle handicap in July; cheekpieces go on for the first time now. |
12/1 |

8th 4 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Eight starts, with sole win on handicap debut at Catterick (1m4f, soft) last October; fourth on all four outings since but at least the best of those was on AW (Lingfield Polytrack on penultimate start); hooded last two; others look a bit more solid. |
12/1 |

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. |

9st 0lb |
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. |

Readily won by 2l at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) before disappointing favourite backers under a penalty at Nottingham (raced freely); brings an unexposed profile into handicaps. |

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. |

Well beaten on AW on his first three starts (1m-9.5f) and he beat only one rival home on handicap debut at Newbury (1m, good) 26 days ago; much more needed now up in trip back on AW. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a C&D handicap (good to firm; 3lb higher today) in June; fair C&D third seven days later and the disappointing show on latest outing was over 1m2f; case can be made on that winning form and some 2025 efforts. |
6/1 |
|
8th 10 (6) |
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. |
11/2 |

3rd 1 (16) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
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. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
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. |
50/1 |
|
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. |
