29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
In good form since returning to turf in the spring, getting the better of Silver Ghost to score at Newmarket (good) in May before solid third on the July course (again 7f, good to firm) the following month; just caught out by a drop to 6f when fourth at Ascot 19 days ago but that form is working out well; player back at 7f with William Buick taking over. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two wins last term (1m/7f, AW/good) and he added another on his reappearance at Haydock (7f, good) in May; again ran well when fourth of 15 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) latest but his form needs to go to a new level today. |
33/1 |

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. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft but soft would be a worry; tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f; 10lb higher today) last October and he's looked just as good on most starts since, without winning but late traffic woes seemingly prevented him from going close last time; without his usual jockey Billy Loughnane today but he was a close second last term under Clifford Lee; probably involved if he can get the breaks. |

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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 22 starts came in a maiden at Newcastle (7f, AW) in October 2024; has placed form on turf, including when third of eight at Windsor last month, but his best form has been on the AW. |
5/1 |

3rd 5 (8) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |

1-21; has been placed a few times on turf but his best form has come on the AW, albeit he was well held at Wolverhampton (1m4f) on Friday; others stronger. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Sole win in AW maiden as 3yo, from 20 races; there's plenty of evidence that he can be on the premises, though, including his third here in January on a rare run at 1m4f. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Made it four wins from his last ten starts when scoring at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) recently; on a lofty mark under a 6lb penalty and it remains to be seen if he's just as good over 1m, but there can be optimism in that regard and he's clearly progressive; has run well on soft/good to soft. |
25/1 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Has developed into a useful 7f handicapper; excusable effort at Royal Ascot is flanked by good performances, namely a ready success at Doncaster and sixth-place finish in the International at Ascot; still on career-high mark but can't be dismissed. |
5/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
5yo who produced a career-best performance with authoritative win at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; following a 9lb rise he was well beaten over C&D (good to firm) at the Royal meeting 12 days later, finishing fourth of six in the unfavoured far-side group, but he's not written off. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Visored for the first time when making a winning stable debut at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) last month and, although a beaten short-price favourite, posted another solid effort under a penalty at Sandown (1m); now 2lb higher but remains fairly treated on older form. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Changed hands for 9,000gns last month and comfortably exploited a reduced mark on last Thursday's stable debut at Nottingham (1m, good to firm), where he was odds-on in a first-time visor (retained); this C&D winner is ahead of the handicapper under a penalty and should be tough to beat. |
8/13 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-time winner whose best effort this year came when a close-up third over C&D in May, taking his form figures at this track to 213; below his best in two starts since and has left the Newland-Insole stable (bought for 9,000gns); visor replaces blinkers for his yard debut and he's interesting. |

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. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
His first five wins were on AW but he's won twice at Yarmouth this summer including an emphatic success over 1m (good to firm; cheekpieces added) last week; has a penalty but that was a personal best last time and he's strongly respected. |
5/2 |

1st 2 (4) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |

Five of his six wins have been on the AW and the other came here over 7f last May (good to soft); well beaten on his last three starts, including at Newmarket last time on his first start for ten months, and is now tried in first-time cheekpieces. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won over C&D in January and was also on target at Nottingham (6f, good) in June but was always behind at Lingfield (6f, AW) a fortnight ago and is far too inconsistent to rely upon. |
16/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Course winner at 1m; a good spell in the New Year included a 7f win on Wolverhampton AW and he was back on song when winning over 6f at Nottingham in June; soft ground perhaps not helpful on next two starts but he has a bit to prove on his first C&D run. |

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. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Good record here, his seven appearances yielding three wins and two second-place finishes; solid handicapping case to be made on his soft-ground C&D win just over a year ago and it would be no surprise if the return to this venue encouraged a revival. |

8th 11 (11) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner and he's 9lb lower than for the most recent success; never featured from off the pace at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) two weeks ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back now returning to 1m3f. |
16/1 |
|
9th 12 (12) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

This has always been his time of year and he's a dual C&D winner who's back on a handy mark; it wouldn't be a shock if he popped up. |
