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. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful yard debut in Lingfield novice (7f, good) in May and fair form in third, just behind a subsequent winner, when upped to 1m on handicap debut at Sandown after; no improvement back at 7f with more patient tactics there since but he should stay 1m round here; thereabouts. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
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. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
He'd been struggling this season but staged a revival in a first-time tongue-tie to win over C&D (heavy) at the beginning of the month; failed to back in up in last Friday's Bronze Cup at Ayr but the fact he's 3lb lower here can only help. |
12/1 |
|
1st 9 (5) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
He got up to a very useful standard as a juvenile but has lost his form this year, including in three starts for this yard; new tongue-tie has some heavy lifting to do but he's dangerously handicapped if there is a turnaround. |
40/1 |
|
15th 18 (17) |
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. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins this year (7f-1m2f) have hit his handicap mark but again ran well off this one when a close third at Redcar last month; unlikely to be far away. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Comfortably won a C&D apprentice event under Conor Whiteley in July; unpenalised when he followed up in three-runner Newmarket handicap (1m2f, also good to firm) the following week; new 10lb higher mark has kicked in but he's respected in the hat-trick bid. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
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. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a pair of 5f Newcastle handicaps late in 2025; back in excellent form of late, runner-up in 5f handicaps at Thirsk and over C&D; firmly in the picture again; return to 6f excuses his Redcar defeat on Tuesday. |

6th 7 (4) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

Ended 2025 with a pair of 5f Newcastle nursery successes; back in fine form of late when runner-up in 5f handicaps at Thirsk and Beverley, only just failing on latter occasion; can make his presence felt back up to 6f despite 3lb weights rise. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has only won a Leicester novice in 16 appearances; however, he was runner-up at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) with the visor back on and suffered interference at Southwell since; possibilities. |
7/2 |
|
7th 2 (11) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in 14 starts came in a Leicester novice (5f, good to soft) last October but he ran well when dropped back to 5f in a re-fitted visor (retained) at Wolverhampton last week, finishing second of nine; unexposed on the AW and has claims. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-8 but has made the frame in all five handicaps, most recently when second at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last month; still unexposed at around 1m and will probably be on the premises again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |

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. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden; ran well in 5f handicap here (soft) last October and had a frustrating run over that trip on Newcastle AW in July on her second run back from a layoff; respectable fourth of 14 back over 6f there since and a slightly lesser test at the trip should suit; not too far away. |
20/1 |

4th 9 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden who showed more than her final position would suggest over 5f here last time, when hitting plenty of traffic; that was only her second run back this year and she's worth a look. |
16/1 |

9th 6 (11) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

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. |
