19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Finished close up in fifth in this race 12 months ago off an 8lb higher mark; 2026 campaign has been underwhelming but trainer has pulled rabbits out of the hat in this race before; lively outsider. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Big chance on his 3yo best but he hasn't got anything going in three runs in big sprint handicaps this year (had wind operation prior to his return); conditions should be fine and the new cheekpieces could give him a lift; revival not out of the question. |
40/1 |

21th 18 (16) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
On the up in 2025, completing a hat-trick before fine runs at Royal Ascot and in the Ayr Gold Cup (beaten favourite in this race in between); had a wind operation prior to reappearance but he has finished down the field in both starts since, the Wokingham on latest; down in the weights but a full revival is essential; tongue-tie experiment last time is quickly aborted. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Can lead; smart 2yo who began 3yo season on a mark of 102; has shown just humdrum form in three turf handicaps, despite a sliding mark, and was way back behind Justcallmepete at Bath last week; has it to prove now. |
10/1 |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins were on turf in 2024 but he's well treated on old form and has run respectably on Tapeta (5f/6f) in last two starts; can make the running and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back in this sphere. |

Having tumbled down the weights there were signs of a possible revival when keeping on for third in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton last week (attracted support); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and today's return to 6f won't be an issue; can't discount. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |

Won last season's Ayr Silver Cup off a 5lb lower mark; has not had much luck this year, banging his head in the stalls in the Wokingham and then suffering a slipped saddle at Goodwood three weeks ago; for one so well suited by 6f and slow ground, today's test may be insufficient. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Made a bright start to her 2yo career, winning on debut before finishing second in a York Listed race and fourth in the Queen Mary over C&D; easy win in a Naas Listed event last July (5f, yielding); beaten four times since but she ran well in Listed grade at York five weeks ago and should go well on this handicap debut. |

Smart as 2yo but she hasn't quite hit those heights in 2025, albeit facing some tough assignments; dropping down the weights and now tried in cheekpieces but others look safer. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Went close in Group 3 Firth Of Clyde Stakes at Ayr (6f, good to firm) last September; reappeared with fair fifth of 15 in the Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good) in April but has failed to build on that and she needs to raise her game now back up in trip. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
In the same ownership as Miss Lamai and finished just in front of that rival when third of 24 in last season's Queen Mary; unplaced in three starts this year but looks to retain all her ability, faring better than the result when sixth in a strong Listed race at Cork (5.5f, good) last month; a big run at rewarding odds can't be ruled out in this her first handicap. |

9st 1lb |
Made the frame in valuable handicaps at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) in June and Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in July, but then ran poorly at the Shergar Cup two weeks ago; his record now reads just one win from ten attempts and he has something to prove in a race as competitive as this one. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
In the frame in notable handicaps at the Royal meeting (5f, good to firm) and Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on his last two starts; 11lb better off with Prince Of India for just over 4l on the latter occasion; no obvious reason why he wouldn't give his running again. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Ran his best race when keeping on for fourth of 24 in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot three weeks ago (5f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time); looked ready for the return to 6f on that occasion but is perhaps vulnerable to a few lurking further down the weights. |

Made the frame when joint-favourite for C&D contest time, without managing to back up penultimate effort; losing sequence is mounting up but she has possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear; runner-up off 8lb higher in this contest last year. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Built on an eye-catching reappearance (over this C&D) when justifying strong support in handicap at Windsor (5f, good) in May; only fourth to Washington Heights in Listed event at Carlisle next time but has had a break since and may well bounce back; has real possibilities if he does. |

Handicap wins at the Curragh (5f, soft/heavy) and Navan (5f, good) this year; fully effective at 6f but he will need much more than when well beaten in last season's Silver Cup; blinkers make their debut. |

Won on 2yo debut at Ayr (6f, good) in July 2024 but he's 0-18 since and was always in rear at Southwell three weeks ago; continues to drop down the weights but he needs a transformation back on turf; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

13th 4 (10) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Winless since his 2yo debut and with his fourth yard already; signs of life on debut for his new trainer at York and this is easier on his AW debut (brother to a dual course winner), so he is one to consider off a career-low mark under experienced 5lb claimer Cian Horgan. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Hard to fancy on recent efforts with no better than a tenth-placed finish in his last five starts; however, he could be revived by a recent stable switch (from Seb Spencer) and he's fully 18lb lower than when eighth in the 5f handicap at Royal Ascot last summer; worth monitoring in the market. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Comfortable win at Carlisle (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time) in May but he has come up short in the Wokingham and Stewards' Cup since; this looks no easier and he will need to be at the top of his game. |

Profile is hit and miss but conditions won't faze him; he looked good at Carlisle (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time) in May and brings relatively low mileage but he was only midfield in the Wokingham and is 1lb higher today, so needs a big personal best. |

Did well as a 3yo, including over C&D, but she hasn't added to her tally in six runs this year; recent third at Epsom (6f, good to firm) on her stable debut was a good run and she's a key player back down in trip. |

Developed into useful 5f performer for Newland-Insole stable last year but is yet to hit top gear after five runs this season; makes stable debut debut from a tempting mark and should be okay back at 6f but needs to have been reinvigorated by her new regime; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

Yet to hit top gear after four runs this term (tongue tied last three) but didn't have the run of the race at Glorious Goodwood last time (9-1 in big field); withdrawn once since when the ground was good to soft, so she is untested on ground slower than good; down the weights and cheekpieces go on. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Fitted with blinkers for the first time when making all in a 6f maiden at Dundalk in April; he has followed that with three solid placed efforts in Irish sprint handicaps; ran well in his one run on good to firm ground (as a 2yo); should give his running but minor money perhaps his best hope. |

AW maiden winner (6f); in fine form since joining this yard; denied by a short head by Red Evolution on first try at 5f at Cork latest; obvious chance from good draw off the same mark. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well treated on the pick of his 6f form on various ground for previous yard in 2025; mostly had a slow time of it this year but there were much better signs at Goodwood on last two starts and he only just failed to get up there last week; should go well. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (16) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
He's had a regressive campaign but returned to form off a reduced mark with clear second over C&D (soft) recently, behind one who easily followed up; versatile ground-wise; can have a big say if backing up that latest run. |
6/1 |

2nd 6 (9) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Thrown in on his 3yo best, notably a 6f win at Ascot (good to soft) 12 months ago when 11lb higher; 2026 campaign has been underwhelming though and others look stronger for the win. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Has added two wins this year, at 7f and 6f (both on good), the latest when coming clear in good style at Pontefract 12 days ago; back up 6lb but he's never been better and this easy 7f shouldn't be a problem. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Form has an uneven look to it but he is capable on his day and his third at Chester (6f, good to soft) in August has been franked by the winner since; couldn't rule out. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |

Another good run last time at Chester where he was closing down the leaders over 6f (good to soft); returning to 7f looks a good move and he can give his running on all sorts of ground; just 2lb above last winning mark. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Versatile ground-wise; particularly effective on downhill tracks, including a win in this race on good 12 months ago; below par in recent starts but things didn't go his way at Goodwood last time and he's well treated if staging a revival having dipped to 3lb lower than when third (Vintage Clarets second) of 20 in the Epsom Dash (good soft) in June. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Versatile ground-wise; particularly effective on downhill tracks and was a ready winner over this C&D in May before having an awkward passage in 6th of 23 at the big meeting here in July; front-running at York didn't come off ten days ago but he has to be of interest on the earlier form. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Better than ever this year following a gelding operation, winning at Goodwood (5f, good) in May and running with credit at Epsom (the Dash) and Glorious Goodwood since; should give his running but might find one or two better treated today. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Outran his 100-1 odds when sixth of 24 in the Palace of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm; hooded for the first time); dropped 2lb since and he's a major player in this easier company. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Ripon win on 2yo debut (6f, good) and he ran creditably in a Listed race over that C&D two weeks later; neither subsequent start has been comparable and the addition of a hood isn't enough to recommend him this time. |
33/1 |

16th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Impressive on last season's debut (6f, good; strong favourite); third in Listed company a fortnight later but his form dipped at Thirsk when last seen in September; gelded over the winter; should be quick enough to cope with 5f but not obviously well treated; stable also run Loom and Tuscan Point. |

Placed three times over 6f this summer and well handicapped on those efforts but his form has dipped lately and he remains without a win since 2024; needs to up his game on this first attempt at 5f. |

Campaigned mostly over 6f but latest effort, when hinting at a revival in first-time visor, suggests this return to 5f is worth exploring; recorded sole handicap success off current mark (last autumn). |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Won in a big field at Newbury (6f, soft) last October but down the field on all three starts this season and a major turnaround is necessary in a first-time visor (replacing blinkers). |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Gained reward for some fine efforts on turf in recent months when winning 5f Ascot handicap (good to firm; also won on good to soft) a fortnight ago; raised 4lb to a clear career-high mark but he should give another good account of himself. |
9/2 |

1st 2 (6) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
He has enjoyed more success on AW than turf but has run well in both visits to Ascot, finishing third of 12 four weeks ago; Billy Loughnane booked and he's likely to make a bold bid but he could help tee this up for one of the finishers. |
6/1 |

3rd 3 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Three front-running AW wins in the spring saw him soar up the handicap; ran right up to his best when second of ten in a Shergar Cup race over C&D (good to firm) four weeks ago; did best of those drawn in double figures at York 17 days ago and should give another good account. |
