2nd 3 (3) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive sprinter; chased home Jazl in a Newmarket handicap last month (2lb worse off today) before improving his flawless C&D record to 3-3 with an easy win eight days ago; worth his place in this stronger company and he looks sure to go well once again. |
11/4 |

1st 2 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D novice winner last season and his handicap form this year is strong, finishing fourth in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) before returning to 6f to finish a neck second of 13 to Jazl in a traditionally hot race at the Newmarket July meeting (good to firm again); a 2lb nudge doesn't look enough to stop him from a good draw. |
4/5 |
|
2nd 5 (9) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Juvenile wins came in 6f novices; has held his own in 5f handicaps this year, doing well on the far side when fourth of 27 at Royal Ascot (good to firm) just behind Ten Carat Harry; return to 6f can suit; better claims than most. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has won on good but the ground was soft for his best 2yo performance, when winning a Listed 5f race at Ayr last September; has done much less well in three runs since, including back in a handicap at York in May; needs the first-time tongue-tie to wave a magic wand. |
20/1 |
|
12th 1 (15) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Last season's standout performance was a 12-1 Listed win at Ayr (5f) in September on his sole encounter with soft ground; however, that performance has been an outlier and he's on a tough mark judged on the rest of his form; gelded since latest start last month. |
25/1 |
|
7th 1 (1) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Consistent at two and his form spiked when winning soft-ground Listed event at Ayr (5f) in September; previously showed he stays 6f and not dismissed on this reappearance/AW debut, albeit easy turf might be more his thing. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Gelded prior to making all and turning over a 1-5 shot in novice event at Lingfield (7.5f, good) on stable/seasonal debut; shaped as if possibly just stretched by 1m when third (Thursday Girl second) on course handicap debut (good) five weeks ago; the drop to 7f looks ideal and he's taken to get the better of Ed Walker's charge this time. |
11/4 |

3rd 8 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Gelded prior to making all and turning over a 1-5 shot in novice event at Lingfield (7.5f, good) on stable/seasonal debut; may build on that win and improve further, having raced only three times; interesting handicap debutant. |
11/4 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Third in two starts over 6f at Chester (good to soft) and Hamilton (good) for James Owen last summer; makes his stable debut (same owners) after 31 days off having been gelded in the meantime; market helpful, but is a contender on his debut form in any case. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Listed runner-up here last October and he's well treated on that form but he's been a long way below that level on his six outings this season (three of them here); a major turnaround is necessary. |
66/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
2yo Listed runner-up last October; fourth of seven on stable debut at Chester (6f, good) nine days ago, which was a step back in the right direction, but he needs another today if he's to pose a serious threat. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Had been looking exposed until upped to this trip (ran right away with a Redcar handicap nine days ago); no penalty for that apprentice-race win and will be fully 9lb higher from tomorrow, so his claims are obvious. |
4/7 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made a winning reappearance in a 7f novice here in April (first start since being gelded) and bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when a respectable third of six at Ripon (1m2f, good) last time; down in grade and has claims. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Often ran well in 2yo campaign and he got off the mark on his reappearance in a novice at Redcar (7f, good to firm); it's possible he'll stay this far but there is a question mark on that score, and also one about his current form as he's been well beaten on handicaps on his last two starts. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Just a neck behind Angel Numbers when second at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) last month and he is 7lb better off today; should remain competitive with conditions unlikely to bother him. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two wins on the AW at Newcastle and reappeared with a good fourth over this C&D in May; failed to build on that at York (5f, good) last month but now drops in grade. |
4/1 |

8th 4 (9) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of AW handicap wins; returned from five months off with a good fourth at Thirsk 12 days ago (5f, good); can win more races but perhaps not this one. |

Winless this season and he came in a below-par sixth of 11 over C&D 11 days ago; more is required if he's to double his tally. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

Hasn't looked on that good a mark since winning as a 2yo and ordinary of late, with and without headgear. |

4th 1 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 5f novice at Leicester as a 2yo; the handicapper has been firmly in command this year, with headgear making no difference on his last two starts; steps up to 7f and drops into Class 6 company but others are more appealing. |

Seven-race maiden; promise in 7f handicaps this summer but he does need a jolt of improvement for today's step up in distance |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to score but he went fairly close at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on his handicap debut in April; hasn't repeated that effort in two subsequent runs, including over that C&D last time, but it's still relatively early days and he's back down in grade. |
8/1 |

4th 7 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Second over C&D on his stable/seasonal debut in April; not quite so good at Haydock one month later but still early days and the C&D form is solid enough; high on the list. |

Five-race maiden but she posted a solid effort when third of nine on her handicap debut at Nottingham (5f, soft) in October; off since but should be suited by the step back up in trip. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins came on the AW last autumn; 1lb lower than for the latest, but he has beaten just one rival in four starts on turf; blinkers removed after one use and are replaced by cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (12) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner, who was beaten by a short-head on only other visit (6f) to Newcastle; won off this mark at Wolverhampton (7f) last October, but his last two efforts were low key - last of nine at Goodwood latest; first-time headgear needs to have a reviving effect. |
10/1 |
|
9th 5 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
The winner of two 7f handicaps on the AW and has shown he can threaten off this mark; last run was disappointing but could bounce back, and no doubt a better horse now than when last seen on turf. |
