30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Got up to beat the favourite with the pair clear last week at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and he's unexposed at this trip; may well defy the penalty but softening ground could complicate matters. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (5) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-15 but he wasn't discredited when a staying-on third of six in 5f Musselburgh handicap 17 days ago; has his stamina to prove over this markedly longer trip, though. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
14-race maiden; second in a C&D novice in 2025, but has raced mainly over further since; beaten over 7l back over 5f at Newmarket last time; bit to prove. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
400,000euros breeze-up purchase who is now 0-7; not beaten far on his Newmarket return (7f, good) last month and had excuses at Kempton (1m, AW) last time; blinkers now given a go, but he does need to find a bit more. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
400,000euros breeze-up buy who proved expensive to follow in maiden/novice company over 6f last year; just a fair comeback at Newmarket three weeks ago, upped to 7f on on his handicap debut, and needs improvement for today's extra furlong. |
8/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
400,000euros breeze-up buy who failed to live up to expectations over 6f last year, for all that he was placed three times; chance of belated progress depends on the effects of new trip and switch to handicap level. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
9,000euros yearling, £500,000 (breeze-up) 2yo; by Kodi Bear; dam 7f 2yo winner (RPR 92) out of an unraced sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner Galatee (dam of Group 2 winners Dartmouth and Manatee); lots to like on paper for his powerful connections who won this last year with subsequent dual Group 1 scorer Shadow Of Light. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Justified support in a Yarmouth maiden (6f, good to firm) last July; hasn't gone on from that in five subsequent runs but he was beaten less than 2l when fifth at Doncaster (7f; blinkers added) last time; that was eye-catching from off the pace and he's not ruled out back up in trip. |
15/2 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won Yarmouth maiden (6f, good to firm) last July but he's found things tough in four handicaps since; dropped another 3lb but he was beaten 11l at Ascot last month and he needs a transformation back in trip; blinkers added. |
14/1 |
|
7th 9 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to progress from last summer's 6f maiden win but made quite encouraging seasonal debut when keeping-on sixth of 14 in Class 2 Newbury handicap (7f, good) last month, and looks well worth a crack at 1m. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Fifth of 13 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) before fourth in a valuable seller at Chester (7f, good) where he had to make his ground up out wide; drops back to 6f with claims. |
9/1 |
|
6 (5) |
13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Brother to a Listed winner; fifth of 13 in what looked an above-average Windsor novice (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago and features prominently in calculations here. |
5/1 |
|
5th 10 (12) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
62,000gns foal; brother to 5.5f-6.5f winner Room Service (including 2yo/Listed; RPR 115), half-brother to winners Royal Advice (6f/7f; 80) and Green Clover (Polish 1m-1m2f including 2yo); dam placed 8.6f/1m1f, out of 1m4f/1m5f winner; yard 10% with 2yos last year and market should guide on debut. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Better for a visor going on the last twice, despite being inclined to pull hard in it; much will hinge on how he settles over today's more demanding 1m switched to cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made the breakthrough with a visor added when finishing well to land a Catterick handicap (7f, good to firm; 18-1) last month; up 3lb but he still looks feasibly treated on that latest form and is open to more progress back up in trip; key player. |
9/2 |
|
1st 7 (1) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ex-John Ryan; yet to hit top form for new yard, but his handicap mark has dropped significantly; could go well with a visor on for first time. |
14/1 |
