1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Reappeared at York (7f, good) in June following a wind op and he beat 19 rivals to win; very much of interest based on that performance but he was well beaten back at York (7f, good to firm) last time; cheekpieces go on. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Now 7lb lower than when making all for narrow C&D (soft) win at end of last season but is yet to strike form after five runs this year; needs a good boost from the first-time blinkers. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Formerly a miler but has gained last three wins over 1m2f, including this race on good (made all) last year; latest success came in Bahrain in January; well beaten in the John Smith's Cup on his return to Britain but bounced straight back with a career-best second of 11 over 1m at Thirsk (good) under Lexie Clarkson three weeks ago; going softer than good would be a slight question mark. |
33/1 |

2nd 2 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Formerly a miler but has gained last three wins over 1m2f, the most recent in Bahrain; well held in major handicap returned to home soil last time; bit to prove off current mark back down in trip; Lexie Clarkson claims 7lb but has limited experience. |
25/1 |
|
18th 9 (21) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Well beaten in Bahrain in February when last seen and a wide draw could prove tough for this front-runner; however, he won two C&D handicaps last summer (good/good to firm) and was back on the scoresheet in Bahrain in January; unbeaten at York and could make a bold bid at a big price. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Most wins on the AW but able on turf and stayed on well for second here 20 days ago (good; might not prefer it softer); this is a better race but he'll appreciate chasing a strong pace if ground conditions are suitable; 2lb out of the weights. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Another who has a better strike-rate on AW (7-19) than on turf (1-17); patchy form so far this year, but has dropped 3lb below his last winning mark and this is a drop in class; stable also runs Thunderstorm Katie. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner at up to 8.5f on good or slower; on the slide in three starts this season but this combination of a drop in grade and new headgear may prompt a resurgence; return to shorter is also a plus; shortlisted. |
7/2 |
|
12th 6 (14) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Five-time winner on a handy mark but it's been a quiet start to this season and, even if back on song, looks vulnerable to stronger stayers over this far; the return of a visor might be no bad thing. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
C&D scorer who made a promising return from a poor draw when seventh of 22 in 7f York handicap four weeks ago; figures on a handy-looking mark now and he's interesting. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has left an imprint on some of the best-known handicaps, such as when only just losing out in the Victoria Cup over C&D (good) in May 2024; has not aspired to those heights in 2025 but he's 9lb lower than for the aforementioned run and promising Warren Fentiman claims 5lb; one to keep an eye on. |
12/1 |
|
11th 5 (10) |
14th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Numerous fine efforts in top handicaps, runner-up in the 2023 Ayr Gold Cup and filling the same berth in last year's Victoria Cup and Great St Wilfrid; not sparkled in two 7f handicaps this season but he's dropped a handy 5lb and his rider claims a valuable 3lb too; better expected this time. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won over 1m at Dundalk in December but seems to have lost his way in his last few starts; needs first-time tongue-tie to work the oracle. |

9th 5 (9) |
15th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
2-2 here (5f/7f), but remains unexposed on the AW after just four outings; not at his best on turf lately, but the return here makes him worth a second look on stable debut (same owners). |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Reappeared with close third at Redcar in April but hasn't built on it, including last of 15 at Thirsk last weekend; hopes are pinned on a first-time visor having a revitalising effect with Oisin Murphy taking the reins. |
10/1 |
|
15th 9 (11) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won four times in 2024; just two runs last year and reappeared this April with close third at Redcar; down to a dangerous mark but he hasn't really shone on his last four starts and has to turn things around. |
10/1 |
