21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Not an instant success for new stable this season but won easily by 4l off much-reduced mark at Carlisle (5.8f, good) ten days ago and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under 5lb penalty here; commands respect. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time visor when fifth of 19 at York (6f, good to firm) last month but failed to build on that performance when favourite at Nottingham three weeks ago and is now 0-7 for David O'Meara. |
9/1 |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Unplaced in six runs for David O'Meara, but he's tumbling down the weights and he showed more at York (6f, good to firm; visored first time) ten days ago; this is a drop in class and something bigger is brewing. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Dual winner on ground slower than good, including a C&D handicap last September; back on good to soft he chased home a handicap snip last weekend at Goodwood; he'll give his running but that's unlikely to be good enough. |
18/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Progressed into a useful sort last term but has a doubt over current form, having posted two duck eggs (both at Ascot) this season; best watched unless the market suggests a revival is likely. |
25/1 |

10th 6 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Progressive 3yo last year; gelded prior to finishing down the field in the Buckingham Palace Stakes here (7f, good to firm) at the Royal meeting, a run that is easily excused given his draw; now tongue tied; not fully exposed at 1m and he is one to consider. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins have come on good to soft ground but he does have one good run on good to firm to his name; disappointed at Windsor last month but this is an ease in grade. |

Two 6f wins to his name on good to soft ground; unplaced in two runs this year but neither run was without promise; he will need a personal best to come out on top here though. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Successful in 5f handicaps twice last September having moved to Ed Bethell; beaten favourite on his first three starts this year, including here, but still ran to a useful level; managed to put his head in front, just, at Hamilton (5f, good) 18 days ago and although a 3lb rise didn't look overly generous, the third has won since; still has potential after just nine runs. |
11/2 |

1st 1 (11) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Won 5f handicaps at Haydock (good) and here (soft) on his first two runs for Ed Bethell last September; has recorded even better form in defeat this year, notably his close second of 14 in the Gosforth Park Cup (5f) five weeks ago; won't be inconvenienced should any of the forecast showers arrive; gets the vote. |
5/2 |

2nd 6 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won 5f handicaps at Haydock (good) and Hamilton (soft) on his first two runs for Ed Bethell last September; beaten favourite in both starts this year, latterly at York six weeks ago which is a strong piece of form; no obvious reason why he won't handle AW and he is one to take seriously. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Disappointing favourite over C&D (good to firm) in July last time but this 4yo was progressive previously and finished second in the Royal Hunt Cup over C&D (good to firm) at the Royal meeting; major player if back on song. |
10/1 |
|
10th 1 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has been runner-up in competitive handicaps on three of his four starts since April, most recently in last month's 28-runner Royal Hunt Cup over C&D (good to firm); climbing the weights in defeat but he's nevertheless firmly in calculations. |
100/30 |

2nd 22 (23) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Below par in the Newbury contest won by Classic last time but that was out of character for him; otherwise a solid and steadily progressive colt whose form this spring includes good efforts in AW finals event and the Thirsk Hunt Cup; whether he can defy current mark is another matter. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
He had useful form over 6f but proved suited by the step up to 7f at Newbury three weeks ago, winning his first race for a year and looking better than ever; up 4lb but may be capable of further progress at this distance and he's firmly in calculations. |
4/1 |

1st 6 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has some solid 6f form this year, including when chasing home subsequent Wokingham winner Double Rush at Newmarket; far from disgraced from unfavourable draw at York three weeks ago; big player if seeing out today's extra yardage. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Slowly away before making late headway when fourth of ten at Catterick (5f, good; 11-1) last week; the return to 6f should suit, and this apparent late developer (unraced for Roger Varian) could yet have more to offer; soon eligible for a handicap mark. |

50-1, never-dangerous tenth of 13 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on his debut in April; drops in trip and this son of Night Of Thunder could still do better in the longer term. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-16 but he's been threatening to put that right in recent starts, fourth at Southwell and runner-up at Carlisle in two runs last month; blinkers now given a go (beaten in cheekpieces and a visor in the past); unraced on soft but he is by Mayson so there can be encouragement he'll handle it. |

8st 10lb |
Six-race maiden who appeared to improve on his turf efforts when beaten less than 2l into sixth of ten over C&D (first-time cheekpieces; 50-1) in September, but it remains to be seen how reliable the form is. |
