27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Found a jolt of improvement last summer, winning handicaps at Kempton (7f) and Southwell (1m) before a good third here (1m) in his hat-trick bid 310 days ago; absent since but he should have more to offer after just eight starts; betting instructive. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 3-4 on the AW when coming from off the pace to collect at Southwell (1m); was aided by a collapsing pace but he looks progressive; just 3lb higher. |

13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Took his AW record (all over 7f) to 311 with Kempton win last time and that form has worked out well; likely to be as effective back at 1m and show further progress in this sphere; major contender. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive in the first half of the year, finishing second in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); however, soundly beaten back at Ascot on both runs since (1m, good to firm/good); has to get back on track. |

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. |

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. |

Looked good when winning over C&D in June; struggled in a hot race at Newmarket the following month but only fifth at Newcastle last time and others may have his measure in this field. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Looked good when winning at Southwell on his handicap debut in February (6f); form then levelled off until he ran out the easy winner of a 6f handicap at Kempton in June (well backed); stiff task at Newmarket six weeks ago and the return to AW is in his favour. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Versatile sort who scored over 5f/6f (turf/AW) last term and ran well over 7f at Meydan in February; however, the assessor has not cut him much slack and he returned from a break with a laboured effort at Chester (first run since gelded) three weeks ago; down the list. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
2-11, with the latest of those wins coming over C&D in August off a 2lb lower mark than today; below his best over 7f next time but bounced back with a solid effort at Southwell (6f, AW); contender but his hold-up style means things need to drop right. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Hard to predict and a 6f win at Chelmsford in August was followed by a poor run over 7f here 11 days later; needs to bounce back but perhaps the return to this distance will help. |
9/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Had been struggling over 7f but he came from behind to win over 6f at Chelmsford (narrowly off 3lb lower) and could build on that; this trip is the query. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up on AW in his first three starts before beating two rivals in a Brighton maiden (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; this is much tougher on handicap debut but he's been generally progressive so far and is still unexposed; in the mix with cheekpieces added. |

8th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three starts at 7f on AW; sent off 15-8 for first two runs but best form when beaten just over 1l at Chelmsford (6-1) last month; that was the third time he's finished runner-up but he sets the standard on turf debut and two of his three winning siblings scored on good to firm ground. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Talented sprint handicapper; back to form when fourth in a big field at York last Saturday, but he's up steeply in grade here and his stable has two far more obvious candidates; wears headgear for the first time. |
25/1 |

9th 7 (2) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Got going too late in the Silver Cup 12 months ago but went on to run out an impressive winner at York (6f, good) three weeks later; looked a prime candidate for a major handicap on that occasion and his return to action at York's Dante meeting (6f, good), when finishing with a flourish having raced away from the main action, did little to dispel that notion; two fast-ground runs since have both been perfectly serviceable and today's return to slower ground could be the catalyst for him to fulfil his potential. |
4/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Broadly progressive 4yo whose form in notable handicaps suggests he could develop into a Group horse; went close on reappearance in his bid for a York double, then finished a respectable sixth when favourite for the Wokingham at Royal Ascot; remains of major interest. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won on the AW on her first two starts in July 2024 but she's without a win since; had cheekpieces on for the first time when runner-up to a well-treated rival at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) last month before a respectable fourth of ten on the AW at Lingfield three weeks ago; solid place chance. |
8/1 |

4th 7 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Started handicap life on an unrealistic mark and has proven wildly inconsistent since; one of her better efforts on a rare turf start last time, when flying off in front in first-time cheekpieces, but she's no certainty to repeat the dose. |
