10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Dual winner at 1m who was dropped back down to 7f when he scored at Newmarket (good) in May; stayed on for third over that trip on the July course a fortnight ago so this first start at 6f is something of a surprise. |

3rd 4 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not straightforward but he is a capable performer on his day and he landed his first turf success when beating Silver Ghost on the Rowley course six weeks ago, again hanging right under pressure but full value for the neck winning margin; up 3lb but has the ability to feature. |
6/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
0-7 on turf and his best form (and both wins) has come on AW; below par on AW on last two starts and arrives with something to prove. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Won three times last year (including C&D on good to soft) and he's just 1lb above his last winning mark; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game this season and first-time cheekpieces need to prompt something extra. |
20/1 |

15 (3) |
25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in second half of last year (7f-8.6f, good to soft/AW); his progress has stalled this season, with two mid-division finishes (1m, AW), but his Newmarket trainer is 3-15 here and he may yet be capable of better. |
10/1 |

1st Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Emerged from midfield to win with a bit in hand at Southwell (1m) in October; only 4lb higher and his midfield finish at Kempton was after 206 days away; still appeals as a horse who could have more to offer. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins last season (1m/7f, AW/good) and he added another on last month's reappearance at Haydock (7f, good); his best form has come on good ground but he's shown promise on a slow surface and this progressive 5yo could still have more to offer; respected. |
9/2 |
|
1st 1 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins for Ed Walker last season and positives can be drawn from the fact that one was on his seasonal return and the other was over C&D (good ground); returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark and a promising claimer is booked; contender. |
7/2 |
|
5th 7 (8) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Successful on soft ground in Ireland; has notched two handicap wins since joining Ed Walker (including under today's rider Oisin Murphy) but he needs to bounce back from a below-par run at Goodwood last time; same trainer/jockey won this last year. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 9lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year; back to near his best when eighth of 20 at Royal Ascot (2m4f) but he needs to hit a new high if he's to win this. |
16/1 |
|
8th 1 (16) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 9lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year; not nearly so good in his two races back on turf but his recent run at Epsom (1m2f) should have teed him up nicely for this; current mark and tactical issues coming from the rear are the chief worries. |
12/1 |
|
10th 5 (17) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft, much more to prove on soft; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 10lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year, prior to tailing off at 50-1 in the Group 3 Ormonde at Chester four weeks ago; he's not on a bad mark but plenty needs to go right if one of his late rushes is to prevail in this. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in 7f AW maiden as 3yo; very understated in early handicaps for this yard but he's been involved in three tight finishes at 1m3f and 1m2f on AW in 2026 and the step up to 2m in March looked more of an experiment than a plan; acts on turf and has claims back at 1m2f. |
5/1 |

6th 2 (1) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Still to add to his 7f maiden win for Charles Hills in October 2024 but he has been banging at the door this year, placed on his last four starts (1m2f-1m4f); goes into unknown territory in terms of stamina and he's by Blue Point so there has to be a question mark. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Arrives in top form having won really well under Zac Lloyd at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time, building on his reappearance effort and taking record in cheekpieces to 4-10; that sets him up perfectly for a crack at a bigger prize and further progress is not out of the question; shortlisted. |
16/1 |
|
1st 7 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Turf maiden winner who won two AW handicaps last autumn; his last success was off 7lb lower but he reappeared with a good third at Newmarket (7f, good) last month and he's still lightly raced on turf; in the mix. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Turf maiden winner who scored in fine style in a handicap at Newcastle (7f, AW) last October; on that evidence this 7lb higher mark isn't necessarily beyond him, but he needs to improve upon what he produced on his last two outings in November and December. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |

Has won seven of his 25 races on turf; has run well in three starts since returning last month and should run his usual solid race. |

7th 5 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

3rd 4 (4) |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Nine wins at this course (7f-1m4f), including three this year; remains in top form, having finished runner-up here on his last two starts; must be strongly considered on his favoured track. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Took this in 2025 and he comes here better than ever, bagging a third course win of 2026 in February; posted a very good second in another 7f handicap here last time so rates a big player off an unchanged mark. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Better than ever since dropped back to 7f, determinedly adding a third win from four C&D starts three weeks ago; this class didn't look beyond him when 1l third here before that, just behind stablemate Legal Reform; some wriggle room judged on peak RPRs even off a new career-high mark. |

Big improver in the first half of last year, with four wins; struggled in his final two runs but remains feasibly treated on his best work and is still lightly raced on turf; market useful back from ten months off. |
14/1 |

2 (10) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Disappointing at York last month but progressive otherwise this year, making it four wins for 2025 when scoring at Yarmouth in May; his current mark may not be beyond him if he can bounce back from last time. |

Five-time AW winner who was getting off the mark on turf at the 16th attempt when successful at Nottingham (6f, good) eight days ago; however, he was well beaten over this C&D (soft) yesterday. |

8th 8 (1) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

Five-time AW winner who belatedly opened his account on turf when coming from off the pace to win at Nottingham (6f, good) a week ago; has form on ground slower than good and has to be respected under a 4lb penalty. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
His form can be up and down but he bolted up at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last month and ran pretty well behind two 3yos when third at Newbury (1m, good) last time; might not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
5 (1) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins last May-July (including C&D) and won by 7l at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) recently; inconsistent and a 6lb rise takes him to a career-high mark, but he has to be respected in view of that latest dominance. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three 1m wins (one C&D) on turf last May-July and latest was off just 1lb lower than today; pretty up and down since, a slow-starting favourite when well beaten on latest start but his second at Newbury the time before was a reminder that he's well capable of getting seriously involved. |

9st 7lb |
A three-time winner (including over C&D) in 2025; yet to hit top form this season though, slowly away when sixth of eight in 1m2f Pontefract handicap last month; needs to take a step forward. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (2) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |
