31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
The visor has had a positive effect and he may have bumped into one when a clear second off this mark 11 days ago (Polytrack); goes well here and is one of the likelier winners. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointed on his reappearance in June but he's been running well in three starts since the visor was applied, most recently finishing third of 11 in a 0-75 at Haydock (7f, good) 13 days ago; drops in grade with good claims. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 11 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
He's run pretty well in this visor on his last two starts, last time 3l second of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); however, he's back up into a 0-75 here and has won just one of his last 29 races; may again be vulnerable. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Promiment racer who is well drawn to attack; three creditable runs here for his new stable in 2026 but others appeal as being better treated. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Overall record of 3-11 but he's not been easy to predict; finished down the field here when last seen in May but he's now only 1lb higher than when completing a double in this race last year; cheekpieces are reapplied after a short break and he needs a close look on this drop back in grade. |
9/2 |
|
9th 11 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Two course wins (7.6f) for Hugo Palmer last summer; respectable fourth on this month's stable debut; should give his running but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Seriously progressive this season in 1m handicaps, including a near miss in the Lincoln (good to soft; won on soft) and victory in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (good to firm); dispelled any doubts about his Group-race credentials when emerging from last in a steadily run race to push Lake Forest to a neck in the 7f Lennox at Glorious Goodwood (good); that effort deserves an upgrade, so he's in the mix. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 6 (8) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive handicapper who landed the Hunt Cup from favourable draw at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) most recently; faces a stiffer task on these terms but possibly hasn't reached his ceiling yet and a strike-rate of 5-6 over 7f bodes well. |
10/1 |
|
1st 28 (33) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to fire in French Listed race last time; broadly progressive in handicaps and went close in the Lincoln when bidding for a five-timer (ran creditably in Spring Cup next time); however, chance partly depends on the weather, as he's ideally suited by ground softer than good. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
2-2 at Lingfield, winning a 6f maiden and a 7f novice here in April; the handicapper has been in command through the summer though and the return to this track isn't enough to tempt. |
20/1 |
|
8 (2) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
A dual 6f/7f AW scorer in the spring and she got back on track when fourth of nine in 7f Thirsk handicap 18 days ago; she can make her presence felt from an easing mark. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won twice on AW in April (6f maiden/7f novice) but has found things tougher in turf handicaps on last three appearances (6f-1m) and arrives here with something to prove. |

Narrow win in a 1m handicap at Pontefract (good to soft); only 1lb higher today but two subsequent runs have been well short of his best; rain won't hurt his chance. |

13th 9 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Looked on the up when landing 1m Pontefract handicap in April but failed to build on it when third of five at Nottingham (1m) last month; still low mileage and not written off. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Could be encouraging that his only win for Andrew Balding came on his sole start here (7f novice) but he left that stable after a poor show at Chester last July and it's been a similar story in two outings for this yard; only of interest if lively in the betting. |
25/1 |
|
10th 6 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Back from wind surgery with 7f novice win on Polytrack in 2025 and he's well treated on the pick of his later form on turf; probably handles Tapeta but he dropped right out on yard debut at York in June, following nearly a year off the track, and it's no easy matter assessing him today. |
25/1 |
|
18th 21 (12) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
He's on a competitive mark on his best form for Andrew Balding, which includes a good third of 22 over C&D (good) last May; market check advised on first run since last July, having been gelded and changed hands for 62,000gns in the interim, but he needs to be at the very top of his game. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Patchy for Richard Fahey last year and has reverted to type for his new yard this time, having kicked off with a C&D win off 2lb lower in May; does like it here though, and this a bit easier, having been said to have hung right at Chester last time. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

No further progress since his successful yard debut over Hamilton's extended 1m in May and others look on better terms with the handicapper. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a long losing sequence (on his yard debut) over C&D in May but comes here on the back of a below-form sixth at Newcastle (1m) last month; needs to get back on track. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive 3yo who landed a good prize for Jay Mackay over C&D (good) in June and was also on target at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; makes obvious appeal from the inside stall. |
7/4 |
|
4 (2) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive gelding who has form figures of 2212 this summer and that latest second was a close call from a tough draw at Chester (7.6f, good); usually races prominently and he's a big player off only 1lb higher on this drop back in trip. |

3rd 6 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Below form after racing too freely at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good) last week but began this season with two good efforts, the latter a close second at Chester (7.6f, good); could have a say. |
12/1 |
|
12th 8 (5) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Won four times last year and was beaten less than a length into second of nine at Chester (7.5f, good; goes well there) 17 days ago; admirable sort, but looks weighted to her best and may prove vulnerable to younger rivals. |

10st 2lb |
Often front-runner who won at Leicester (7f, good) in April and over this C&D (good to firm) last month; bit below his best at Chepstow 17 days ago but soft ground may have been against him (also lost a shoe). |
9/2 |

4th 5 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |

In fine form since returned to turf this spring, winning at Leicester (7f, good) in April and at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) ten days ago; up another 3lb but this gutsy front-runner is a likely player once more. |
