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. |

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 |

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. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Merely mid-division at Newmarket (6f, good) three weeks ago but prior to that he took a step back in the right direction when third on the Rowley Mile there (6f, good) and his stable is in fine form; not discounted. |
7/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Beat Fiscal Policy decisively on the Rowley course (6f, good to firm) last May when rated 3lb higher; ran well for third in the same race five weeks ago; not ruled out. |

3rd 11 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Tame end to last season and no return to form on his two starts this year; however, he's 2lb lower than when winning this under Olivia Haines last year (good to firm) and the return to the Rowley Mile could trigger a revival. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Made a successful 2yo debut but he was soon in deep water and his form deteriorated; seen only twice in 2025 but he's been placed a couple of times this season including when third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's not ruled out off a dangerous mark. |

5th 1 (6) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Made a successful 2yo debut but he was soon in deep water and his form deteriorated; seen only twice in 2025 but things have stabilised somewhat and he's run two good races over C&D (good to firm), including 16 days ago; not eye-wateringly well handicapped but shouldn't be far away. |
5/1 |

3rd 5 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since his debut in June 2024; posted a good C&D second in May but beat only one in 6f York handicap since; needs to bounce back. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Still seeking first win on turf but has posted two encouraging efforts this term, going close in first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood latest; possibilities in the retained headgear. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 8 (7) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly and he ran his best race on grass when third of seven at Windsor 13 days ago (good to firm); down the field in two runs on soft but his Ayr Silver Cup effort wasn't too bad; new cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Possibly unsuited by soft ground in last two appearances, taking turf record to 0-5; has shown some promise otherwise on grass and remains well treated on AW form (mark in that sphere is 8lb higher). |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Scored over C&D in June; below par returned to this scenario last time but that race possibly came too soon after a good effort three days earlier; may rebound. |
6/1 |

7th 6 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ridden more patiently than usual when gaining a second success of 2026 over C&D in June and backed it up with a very good second of ten in 7f Thirsk handicap three days ago; a player off an unchanged mark. |
9/4 |

2nd 1 (10) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
He has run a string of good races in 2026, winning for the second time when comfortably seeing off five rivals at Beverley (7.4f, good) last week; that effort was backed up by the Topspeed figure and he can't be discounted under a 5lb penalty. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Struggled on turf on two of his last three starts (ran well over 6f here in between) but that hasn't done his mark any harm; a strongly run race at this trip would suit; likely to go well. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had a productive time on AW over the winter and he's held his form well enough; the only real blip since November came when disappointing at Windsor on his penultimate start which now raises doubts back on turf. |
12/1 |
|
9 (5) |
1st Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
His form dipped on turf three weeks ago but he was in fine form on AW over the winter, winning twice at Lingfield and going close over C&D last month; perhaps a shade high in the weights for a race as competitive as this one. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time turf winner including off 5lb higher over C&D (good to firm) last spring; well held at Wolverhampton when last seen in March but that was after a good spell on AW including a Kempton win; has good record when fresh and he needs a close look back from four months off. |
13/2 |

7th 6 (12) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Opened his AW account in Kempton contest (6f) in December; has remained in form since, without necessarily building on that success; likely needs to raise his game in this field. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made his AW breakthrough when scoring over C&D in December; matched that form when second over C&D in January and big player with Billy Loughnane taking over in the saddle for the first time. |
