25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Most recent success came in Group 2 at Sandown (1m, good) last April; not at best in three runs this season, including in same race and when returned to 1m2f for Group 1 at Royal Ascot five weeks ago; needs a revival. |
12/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Kept on for fourth in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) in the Lockinge at Newbury (1m, good) last month, having been beaten just a neck in the same Group 1 in 2025; on that latest evidence this step back up in trip is worth a go, but others arrive with stronger claims. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Bright start to last season culminated in neck second when favourite for this contest; broadly not in the same form since, most recently last of six (behind two of today's opponents) when bidding for repeat success in Sandown Group 2; big revival is needed in first-time headgear. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
7yo who is winless since November 2023 but has dropped down the weights and was 4l third of 13 to The Lost King over C&D (good to firm) last month; each-way claims if acting on the ground; his last win came on heavy going but subsequent slow-ground form has been mixed. |
20/1 |

3rd 3 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
He's contested quality handicaps at Newbury and Ascot on his three starts this term, performing respectably and beaten around 4l each time; this 7yo probably needs something extra to snap a long losing run but he's edging down the weights and has run some big races here; worth a second look. |
10/1 |
|
10th 14 (30) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Very useful on his day and has plenty of Listed/Group form; however, needs to improve on his Newbury handicap efforts this season (beaten 4l both times) and remains badly out of the winning habit, with losing spell stretching back to 2023. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
He wasn't at his very best last year but took a step back in the right direction when front-running fourth of 21 off this mark in the Lincoln at Doncaster five weeks ago on first run for new yard; no stamina worries but there is a concern about good to firm ground. |
13/2 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He wasn't at his very best last year for George Boughey, albeit he did finish third in the Listed Doncaster Mile over C&D (good to soft) on this card; now down to a mark 3lb lower than when runner-up in the John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f, good to soft) in July 2024 and his new trainer is a dab hand with topweights in big handicaps; goes well fresh and could have a big say. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Placed on both starts here and he continues to slide down the weights, but was beaten 17l into seventh of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last time and will need to do a good deal better than that; no headgear today. |
14/1 |

7th 3 (11) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
His form deteriorated last year and he went 0-9; however, he's dropped down the weights and could improve for his recent comeback in a Listed race at Kempton (fourth); this C&D winner is not ruled out. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
The first of two Listed wins last year came over C&D; out of form this season until respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (1m) latest outing, when wearing first headgear (retained today); needs to build on that. |
12/1 |

5th 1 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
1m winner early in career but has shown best form at 1m1f/1m2f, notably with wins in the 2024 Cambridgeshire and Listed races last year; bit to prove off current mark back down in trip; wears first-time headgear. |
20/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Usually races prominently (didn't when trying 1m4f last time); a mostly solid 2025 included 1m2f Listed wins in May and November; has started 2026 in downbeat fashion but today's ground could prompt something better, as his top three ratings have been registered on softer than good; below-form favourite in this race two years ago but was denied a clear run; needs to be back in peak form to have any chance. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Hard to predict; followed six duck eggs with a last-gasp win at Thirsk (1m, good) two weeks ago, only to run poorly again at Haydock last week; just 2lb higher than for the win but can't be relied on. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Followed six duck eggs with a last-gasp win at Thirsk (1m, good) last Saturday under Seamus Cronin, capitalising on some leniency from the handicapper; nudged back up only 2lb; has possibilities if on another going day. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Went close in Group 3 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last June but a long way below that level on her seven outings since, five this season; 1m2f might have stretched her at Newmarket last time but others are still more convincing. |

Went close in Group 3 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last June but a long way below that level on her six outings since, four this season; drops in class and runs in her first handicap since September 2023; tried 1m2f once, when tailed off last June; plenty to prove. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Slow ground would be a worry (non-runner due to unsuitable good to soft here on Thursday) and he's unraced over this far; however, this front-runner has an extremely solid record in 1m handicaps here and was a Group 2 runner-up at Ascot (1m) last July; capable of bold bid if conditions suit. |
16/1 |

26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |

Front-runner; successful in this race in 2024 but that wide-margin win represents his last victory; solid fourth in a good York handicap in May; should be in the thick of it. |

Trainer on a lengthy losing run but has had a good few pop up at big prices here down the years; this gelding, whose best work for Archie Watson came on the AW, will need to improve a lot upon his two starts for current connections if he's to follow suit. |
