13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Ten career wins include 2023 Scurry Handicap here and has added lesser events this year at Leicester and Hamilton, also Epsom fourth to Sondad on soft; not as same level at Goodwood latest but not one to dismiss. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Held on narrowly from Ferrous in the Scottish Stewards' Cup at Hamilton last time; has performed well twice in the Stewards' Cup over C&D; may remain competitive. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
8yo who can be in and out but he won at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in April and has run well in defeat on his last two starts, at Epsom (6f, soft) and Newcastle (6f, AW); he was a close second of 14 last time and this C&D winner can be in the mix if he's once more on a going day. |

Returned from a break with a win at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May but he hasn't come up to scratch in his four outings since; back on that successful mark but many others arrive with less to prove. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won by 4l last Saturday to complete a Lingfield turf double; raised a whopping 12lb but is still well treated on best form, which includes close second (off 4lb higher) in this contest in 2025; fighting chance. |

1st 1 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who had a much higher mark this time last year; well backed all day and on course when winning over C&D 12 days ago, and there's every chance he can defy a 3lb rise under Ashley Lewis, who has plenty of experience for his 3lb claim in this company. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Back to best when defeating the reopposing Magic Basma (La Brodeuse fourth, Brazilian Rose fifth) in 7f Musselburgh Listed race (good) on reappearance three weeks ago; more will be needed to defy a penalty but should be able to get a good position from her inside stall. |

1st 3 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Went off the boil in Listed races at the end of last season; however, a break may have helped and she was progressive last term, with three handicap wins (6f, good/good to firm) and a good fourth of 18 in the Group 3 Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster (7f, soft); can be in the mix if she's back to her best. |
6/1 |
|
2 (6) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Consistent and genuine filly who has done better the more she's raced, adding to three 6f handicap wins (good and good to firm; one over C&D) with a feisty show in fourth on unfavourable terms in a Group 3 at Doncaster (7f, soft) last month; can have a big say back at 6f. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form with a bang when a well-backed winner in first-time blinkers (retained since) in the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last month; unplaced at Ripon (6f, good) eight days later but back on song when second at Ayr (6f, heavy) last week; well worth another crack at 5f; high on the list. |
5/1 |
|
8th 7 (9) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Winner of the last two runnings of this; back to form with a bang in first-time blinkers (retained) when landing the Bronze Cup at Ayr (6f) one week ago; back up 5lb but he holds major claims off the same mark as when scoring here 12 months ago. |
7/2 |
|
13th 16 (19) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Ripon (6f) in September but yet to hit top form in four runs this season, beating only one back there (6f) 13 days ago; mark is plummeting but he still needs to take a step forward. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Often front-runs; without a success since landing a Group 3 as a 2yo; however, he has posted some good placed efforts and ran well when sixth of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) in July; has been dropped another pound and has to be considered. |
5/1 |
|
6th 14 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
He's on a long losing run and can be inconsistent, but this front-runner was third of 22 over C&D (good) in May and wasn't beaten far when seventh of 20 over C&D (good) last time; each-way possibilities from low draw. |
16/1 |

7th 17 (13) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Smart earlier in career; yet to win for this yard but gave it a good shot from the front when third over C&D (good) at the Dante meeting and bounced back from a lesser effort over 6f here when third (Inspired fourth) of 14 at Wetherby (good to firm; made running again) last week; each-way claims again. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Has enjoyed a terrific season, including four handicap wins on good/good to firm; last week's second on unfavourable terms in a Beverley conditions race was a career-best RPR; course winner; has to enter calculations. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Ran well for third behind Jm Jungle in a Listed race here last month but he is 3lb worse off today and has since finished down the field in the Portland. |
8/1 |

17th 4 (22) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
As good as ever as a 9yo, recording four wins this year and running with credit in Listed event at Beverley (5f, heavy) 13 days ago; should run his race but there are likely to be better handicapped opponents today. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has an excellent record at Ayr and it was a shame that he was drawn on the other side to the narrow winner when leading home his group in the Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last week; back up 3lb which won't be beyond him if he copes with this track at the first attempt. |
7/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent and winless this year and well beaten at York (6f, good to firm) recently; however, that was more competitive than this and two starts ago he ran well when third of 17 at Ayr (6f, good); may have a chance. |
6/1 |
|
19th 14 (18) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won a good C&D handicap last year and also successful at Ayr last September; 0-7 in 2026 but he retains all his ability and ran well for third (of 17) at Ayr 19 days ago; high draw a potential stumbling block. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Third good handicap win of an excellent summer when shading a tight finish in 20-runner event at the York Ebor meeting (6f, good to soft; acts on good to firm); creditable fourth of 24 at the Curragh (6f, yielding) since; below par in two previous attempts over 7f but the way he saw it out when successful over an extended 6f at the Curragh earlier in the year provides hope that this flat 7f should be within range; his form is more than good enough to be highly competitive at Listed level. |
7/2 |

4th 1 (7) |
13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
10st 4lb |
Scurry win (beating Dark Thirty) in July came over slightly further off 98, and most recently recorded seventh career win when landing a big pot at York last month (Coul Angel third) on good-to-soft; still improving 5yo up 16lb this season but has to be respected. |
7/1 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
His career has been one of steady but consistent progress; won at Epsom (6f, soft) and the Currragh (6.2f, good to firm) this season and ran a sound race in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, perhaps finding that sharp test on fast ground inadequate; can't call upon course form but the weather has turned in his favour and he has another major handicap in him. |

9st 10lb |
Back to form when taking advantage of a reduced mark at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June; well beaten at Chester (6f) next time but good ground offers a plausible excuse and this stiff 5f will suit; confidence would increase with every drop of rain. |

8st 9lb |
On a losing sequence but seemed rejuvenated by the refitting of a hood when a good third of ten in 7f Beverley handicap last month, nearest finish having had to wait for a run over 1f out; course winner who is effective over this shorter trip and a likely player off a reduced mark. |

Fully 15lb lower than when winning at Lingfield (6f, AW) last December but this 9yo has regressed in recent months; has to turn things around. |
