1st Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
5-42, his last three wins close to home on the July Course at Newmarket (2m); third to Regally Blonde in this last year and the handicapper is beginning to cut him some slack (back on last winning mark); vulnerable to younger rivals? |
6/1 |

4th 5 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
10yo whose last three wins (in 2022, 2023 and 2025) came in the 2m handicap he contested here six weeks ago; could only manage 5l third to the reopposing Prince Quattro in this year's renewal; 4lb better off with that rival this time but it may not be enough. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 (2) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
10yo whose last three wins came in this race (2022, 2023 and 2025) and it's now named after him; did it in good style from the back last year (good to firm) and is now 3lb higher; made a satisfactory return to action at Yarmouth last month and the chief concern today is probably whether there will be enough pace in the race for his stamina to kick in sufficiently. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Been around a bit and has regressed sharply for this yard, mainly over hurdles; Sapphire Sirocco looks the more likkely of the stable pair. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Out of form over a range of trips for new stable this spring (five runs; including one on the Flat); drops back to 2m after 42l defeat over 2m7f in refitted cheekpieces (retained) ten days ago; revival needed. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Campaigned exclusively on the Flat since 2024, beaten over 20l at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) latest; now 2lb lower than when third of 17 at Doncaster (2m, good) in January 2024; market check the best course of action. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Three wins and two seconds to his name from ten runs over C&D but he's struggled this year; absent for ten weeks since hanging right on the home turn over C&D and others make more obvious appeal. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
No significant impact after three Flat maidens (1m2f-1m4f for William Haggas) and four races over hurdles; now makes Flat handicap debut. |
10/1 |

6th 9 |
14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Showed only minor promise in three 2m maiden/novice hurdles this year and is not obviously well treated for this handicap debut but the new trip may unlock improvement. |
10/1 |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Showed some ability on the Flat for William Haggas last year and on her two hurdling starts for Alan King in February/March; only fourth best on merit when modest third at Kempton (2m, good) on latter occasion but this race is easier and she's on the shortlist; hooded for first time. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dual 2m AW winner who took a good-ground selling hurdle in April; slow-starting second under 7lb claimer at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) 12 days ago confirms that she is firmly in the mix. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 (6) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual AW winner who took a selling hurdle at Exeter (2m2f) in April; placed behind Cherry Cola on only other visit to this track (1m6f) and some encouragement is drawn from her latest Salisbury effort (staying-on fifth); step up in trip in her favour; a possible. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Beaten favourite on the AW last time when seeking a fifth win on those surfaces; 0-5 on turf and probably best to look elsewhere. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

C&D win in June off 1lb lower; respectable efforts on his last two starts but no banker to confirm latest Chelmsford placings with Inlet. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who was just 7-2 at Newmarket (2m) last month, when his rider lost his irons leaving the stalls and he was pulled up about 6f out; made favourite in first-time blinkers at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last time but the start proved troublesome again, very slowly away only to finish fourth of eleven; a clean break would put him right in the picture but that's by no means certain. |
4/1 |

4th 2 (2) |
28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who was just 7-2 at Newmarket (2m) last month, when his rider lost his irons leaving the stalls and he was pulled up about 6f out; arrives with something to prove but wears first-time blinkers and it will be interesting to see if he's again towards the head of the betting. |
