2nd 3 (3) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive sprinter; chased home Jazl in a Newmarket handicap last month (2lb worse off today) before improving his flawless C&D record to 3-3 with an easy win eight days ago; worth his place in this stronger company and he looks sure to go well once again. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D novice winner last season and his handicap form this year is strong, finishing fourth in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) before returning to 6f to finish a neck second of 13 to Jazl in a traditionally hot race at the Newmarket July meeting (good to firm again); a 2lb nudge doesn't look enough to stop him from a good draw. |
4/5 |
|
2nd 5 (9) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Juvenile wins came in 6f novices; has held his own in 5f handicaps this year, doing well on the far side when fourth of 27 at Royal Ascot (good to firm) just behind Ten Carat Harry; return to 6f can suit; better claims than most. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Finished behind Hello Isla over C&D 19 days ago but he ran creditably in the circumstances and new blinkers could prompt extra; dropped 2lb and he's one to consider. |
14/1 |
|
7 (4) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten around 5l when third of four at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) but he went backwards from that at Chester (6f, good) on his next start; reported to have never travelled when beating only one rival on handicap debut at Leicester (5f, good) five weeks ago and now steps back up to 6f for AW debut. |
18/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Like Dandy's Rocket, his second start stands out and he's been gelded before switching to nurseries; this half-brother to five winners makes more appeal though. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
7f/1m AW wins late last year; given every chance when 3l behind Laureate Crown at Sandown two runs back (1m, good) and then failed to make any impression in Newbury's always-strong London Gold Cup; pulling hard was the last thing he needed when upped to 1m2f in the latter but it wasn't the ideal preparation for this tough a test. |
66/1 |
|
9th 8 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Hope for 1m2f on pedigree; ended last term with 7f and 1m AW wins; led over 2f out to over 1f out when creditable fourth of seven in handicap at Sandown (1m, good; 25-1) three weeks ago, and perhaps he needed that race, but others seem to have more striking claims. |
20/1 |
|
4th 6 (7) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Improved upon first two runs (both on turf) to win at Southwell (7f, AW) last October, and followed up on handicap debut there (1m, AW); had just three rivals to beat last time and he's 12lb higher today with something to prove on turf, but is not discounted given the ease of that last win. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive of late, despite having had plenty of racing, adding to his C&D win in May (off 9lb lower) when going in at Bath last time (off 3lb lower); there's other pace in here, however, and he'll need another career-best effort. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Experienced 3yo who was winning for third time this year when scoring at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in May; short-headed at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago by one who was completing a hat-trick; major contender. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained his sixth success when winning at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran well again at Windsor (6f, good to soft) next time, but failed to beat a rival at Ffos Las ten days ago and needs to bounce back. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Has form figures of 2112 in last four turf attempts and gained one of the wins over C&D (good to firm); ran well at Ayr (good to soft) most recently; steadily progressive and commands respect. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Came good with wins at Beverley (8.4f) and Thirsk (1m, again on good to firm) last month and had an excuse in his hat-trick bid at Southwell (suffered interference) two weeks ago; only 2lb higher than for his last success and he could kick on again back on turf. |
11/2 |
|
6th 13 (2) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has improved this year, recording back-to-back wins at Beverley and Thirsk (around 1m; making all) this month, the latter in first-time cheekpieces (retained); should give it a good go on AW debut if taking to the surface. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won three middle-distance AW handicaps in February and kept on best to beat four rivals on hurdling debut at Stratford in June (2m, good to firm; runner-up won there last month); ground slower than good would be new to him but he's an obvious one to consider. |
5/4 |
|
1st 5 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won three in a row on AW (1m2f/1m4f) in February and he was a creditable second when upped to 1m6f in a Redcar handicap (good to firm) last month; takes on two previous winners on this hurdling debut but he has some fair form on the Flat and he's not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
3-3 in AW handicaps but record on turf reads 009; made all on his penultimate start and could be interesting if similar tactics are employed, but his suitability to grass remains an issue. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Best form when second in a Chester maiden in July; has been below that form since, including in a couple of nurseries; first-time cheekpieces worn last time are discarded and he needs to show more. |
16/1 |
|
11 (6) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Promising second at Chester (6f, good) on second start but a lesser run followed at Newcastle (6f, AW) and soundly beaten on recent nursery debut at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft); has to raise game in first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
6 (8) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has shown ability over 6f, notably when second at Chester, while shaping as if this drop in trip will suit on nursery debut; interesting. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Slowly away when down the field at Chester (6f, good; 6-1) on debut 41 days ago; now switches to AW (dam an AW winner) and steps up to 7f; more needed but he may well be capable of leaving that effort behind. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
45,000euros yearling, 10,000gns vendor 2yo (April breeze-up sales); trainer among the winners and had a 2yo newcomer go in at Ripon on Monday but stall 11 isn't ideal for this first foal of sprinter Declaring Love, who improved with time. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Ended five-race 2yo season with respectable fifth in Chester nursery (7f, good to soft; first-time visor) in September and last month's reappearance defeat can be overlooked, given she was badly hampered at the start; not yet fully exposed; could have a say. |
9/1 |
|
9th 9 (5) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Modest efforts over 6f/7f last term, including in two nurseries, with a visor tried on final start (7f); on a lowly mark, and with her stable gong well, is one to consider on first try at 5f. |
9/2 |
|
5th 9 (3) |
20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Well held in three qualifying runs and same story on nursery debut at Southwell (6f, AW; 28-1) two weeks ago; still early days and visor is now added but she needs a transformation on this step up to 7f; one of three runners for Hugo Palmer. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Ten-race maiden; gave good account when fourth over nearly 6f at Carlisle (soft) in June but did not get competitive at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; back over this trip for first time since 2yo debut. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Far-from-solid maiden whose chance depends on whether she's capable of backing up latest effort, namely close fourth at Carlisle (6f, soft); has weak claims on previous form. |
7/1 |

4th 11 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten under 5l at Ripon in July but still went off at 80-1 last time at Haydock (1m2f, good) where she won narrowly in a small field; only 1lb higher and looks mildly progressive. |

1st 6 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
0-7; some improvement when third at Ripon (1m2f, good to firm; 100-1) 12 days ago, but she's up against it here from 4lb out of the weights; usual hood left off today. |
40/1 |

3rd 3 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
String of ordinary efforts at huge prices, the step up to 1m not helping here last month; no obvious appeal. |
