16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Should be well treated but little to cheer this season; latest fifth of 16 at Doncaster (5f, good) was a bit better but he was subsequently reported to have bled from the nose. |

5th 16 (13) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Twice ran well over C&D (good/soft) in 2024, winning this race on first occasion; thrown in on that form but little to cheer this season, given a wind operation (his second) before penultimate start; latest was at least a step back in the right direction. |

Scored over 5f here last April; without a victory since though and beat only one on the back of a wind operation in 5f Hamilton handicap last time; others appeal more. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Enjoyed his finest hour when winning the Palace Of Holyrood House Stakes at the Royal meeting in 2024; gained his first win since when narrowly landing a 5f handicap at Musselburgh in April; two solid efforts have followed and he would appear likely to make another bold bid. |
6/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
In-form 5yo; overcame trouble to win at Musselburgh (5f, soft) in April and was a creditable fourth in a big field here (6f, good) ten days ago; should be thereabouts again off an unchanged mark. |
10/1 |

4th 9 (3) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Mixed fortunes since winning the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot in 2024 (good to firm); got back on track to win at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last month despite being denied a clear run; his peak performances have come at 5f but he was a C&D winner in his 2yo season; respected up just 3lb for last time. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Has an excellent record in this race, with a second in 2022 and wins in 2023 and 2024 (all on soft/heavy); only fifth to Lexington Blitz on good 12 months ago but his second (Lexington Blitz third) in the Epsom Dash (good to soft) shows he's still useful, and he can be made to look well treated on that form even from 3lb out of the handicap; any easing of the ground in his favour. |
9/1 |
|
7th 9 (1) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Won this race in 2024 when rated 8lb higher; well handicapped on even this year's best, 3lb lower than when second in the Dash at Epsom (5f, good to soft); stall 1 not ideal for one that comes from off the pace and he will need luck in running; big chance if the gaps appear though. |
5/1 |
|
6th 10 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
All ten wins at 5f; last scored just over a year ago on good to firm but he's got plenty of form on a softer surface and ran well when runner-up in Epsom's "Dash" in June; also performed with credit at Glorious Goodwood and could be the type to bounce back from a lesser effort at Pontefract a fortnight ago; having just his second outing here since winning a C&D novice back in 2021. |

9st 11lb |
Last scored in July 2024 but he was running respectably this year until a lesser effort at Beverley last month; had an excuse that day (anticipated the start and missed the break) and he's on a tempting mark; considered. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Useful in his prime (won the Dash and an Irish Listed race in 2022), but far more miss than hit in recent times and soundly beaten on belated reappearance last week; best watched. |
33/1 |
|
9th 6 (6) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
A winner first time out three times in previous seasons but he's getting on now and has been absent for a year; has a bit to overcome then, especially as he looked on the downgrade last season and has only run twice on the AW. |
25/1 |
|
6 (5) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Capable 5f performer on his day but has not made the frame in six runs this year; a slow start meant he couldn't adopt his usual front-running tactics at York five weeks ago, and his mark is tumbling, but he's risky. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
9yo who has dropped down the weights and showed spark when second of four at Nottingham last month; however, well beaten at Thirsk since and he's winless on turf since September 2021; others appeal more. |
50/1 |
|
12th 9 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Talented veteran but has temperament to match his ability; no turf win since 2021 and when second at Nottingham 11 days ago there were only four runners; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winless on turf since 2021 but showed more on his second run back from a break last time, is now 2lb lower and this is easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting; tends to be held up and a speed-favouring 5f in a small field may not be optimal but he's capable. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Course winner as 2yo; useful type who is 2lb lower than for his Ayr win (6f, good) in July but he hasn't been in the same form of late and it's hard to argue that a return to form is imminent. |
16/1 |

6th 8 (4) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Only 2lb higher than when beating 16 rivals in a 6f handicap at Ayr in July; struggled since but the ability is there if this is a going day. |
12/1 |
|
12th 13 (10) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f) in July but well below par both runs since and he failed to beat a rival in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last time; needs to take a major step forward. |
33/1 |
