8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Better than ever when landing a second 7f Goodwood success of the year in 20-runner event at last week's Glorious meeting (good to firm), with the reopposing Pellitory well behind; a further 4lb rise seems unlikely to prevent another prominent showing from this thriving 5yo. |

1st 11 (10) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins last year and he won 14-runner handicap over C&D (good) in May; solid fourth to Colombier at Epsom next time and it was a narrow career best when second of 11 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago; will probably need another pb but that's not out of the question and Ryan Moore rides; considered. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Arrives in good form having won at Goodwood (7f, good) then made the frame in competitive field at Epsom (7f, good to soft); however, he remains on a career-high mark and has to concede weight all round. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Both wins on turf in 2024 when trained by Ralph Beckett; ran her best race for current yard when third of ten here (6f) on AW debut ten days ago; is at least as effective over 7f and should run well. |
7/2 |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Best of three runs for this yard when fourth of 14 at Haydock (5f) three weeks ago, keeping on; at least as effective over 6f and well treated on her best form for Ralph Beckett; AW debut. |
7/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

On a competitive mark on form as recent as June but hasn't been at the top of her game on her two outings for this yard; unproven on slow ground. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Close third off lower AW mark at Kempton (1m) in May and fair effort when third at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) since; two of his last three wins have come over this C&D and he's respected now back here. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced here but a five-time turf winner over 7f at four different tracks; might well have won over 1m at Kempton (AW) last month had that race panned out more favourably; 7lb higher this time back on the grass but he can cope with this mark. |
6/1 |

21st May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Was having just his second start over 1m+ when running only okay at his favourite venue Epsom 29 days ago and he's towards the foot of the list in trying to capitalise on a lower AW mark here; trainer won this race last year. |

He has finished second to The Good Biscuit (runs 3.15) over C&D twice this summer, more recently 11 days ago; 2lb higher today but should make another bold bid. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (11) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Races prominently; has recorded some creditable efforts in defeat this year, including chasing home The Good Biscuit over C&D (good to firm) in July, but well beaten at Beverley latest; first outing for six weeks. |
20/1 |

10th 3 (9) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |

Races prominently; easy winner of this 12 months ago when only 2lb lower and he returns on the back of some solid efforts, the latest over 6f which has to bode well; good chance. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Her wins for Malcolm Saunders came over 6f-7f on turf; sold for 1,500gns recently; one of her better efforts at Epsom last time, a course she's always liked, but stamina and the surface switch are two concerns. |
10/1 |

2nd 8 (7) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |

All eight of her wins have been over shorter trips, two at this track over 7f in 2023; below her best in both starts since finishing runner-up in first-time cheekpieces at Brighton (7f, good to firm) and others are preferred. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
A fair 6f scorer for Luke Dace in 2024; off ten months but shaped well for his new stable with fourth of 12 in C&D handicap 16 days ago; not without interest off a reduced mark. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (12) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 6f Windsor winner (soft and good to firm), latterly in April 2024 for Luke Dace; left Claire Hobson after three starts, including fair fourth of nine at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft; first-time visor) last July; market might help on this stable debut (same owner) and first start for ten months. |

3rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Multiple winner down the years but this veteran has something to find on 2025 form; comfortably held last time, failing to back up his reappearance effort. |
25/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Multiple winner who goes particularly well at Brighton where he was only 2l away last month (7f, good to soft) on his return from a lengthy break; might be vulnerable to younger limbs but should give his running. |
10/1 |

2 (1) |
27th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Off since September but he's proven when fresh having won at Epsom (7f, good) off 1lb higher on his reappearance last July; has won here four times from nine starts, including this race in 2022 off 3lb higher and he holds sound claims on his return. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Solid start to his career with a pair of seconds at Salisbury last July; not in same form since and is perhaps best watched unless the market suggests a turnaround is likely. |
33/1 |

8th 9 (6) |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Can race freely and didn't get home over 1m on handicap debut at Newmarket in November when last seen; there was sufficient promise in his qualifying runs (6f/7f) to believe he can win races off this mark. |
8/1 |
|
12th 2 (9) |
1st Nov 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Early promise over 7f and 6f (good and good to firm); not so good on AW and on good to soft at Yarmouth since, when racing freely back at 6f; will get more cover today but has to prove stamina for 1m on handicap debut. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won three times over 7f at Kempton in 2024 for Kevin Philippart de Foy; hasn't been with Tony Carroll long and shaped well when fifth at Southwell last time (7f; not get the best of runs); career-low mark; interesting. |
9/2 |

5th 12 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Lacks consistency and failed to sparkle at Kempton (second start for new yard) most recently; yet to win away from that venue; very well treated on best form but isn't particularly solid. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
All three wins have come at this track over 7f; having dropped down the weights he made a pleasing stable debut at Ffos Las (6f, good) last month; of interest back at Kempton and with Billy Loughnane booked. |
