25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Ran a stormer over C&D on his seasonal return; the ground went against him at Epsom on Derby day and he has quickly bounced back with placed efforts at Beverley and Newmarket; up 2lb for latest near-miss but still on a good mark; Oisin Murphy booked; decent chance. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
First run for Michael Keady when winning this race 12 months ago off a 3lb higher mark; two good runs on fast ground this year (below par on slower going in the Epsom Dash) and he's likely to make another bold bid. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Blows hot and cold but he is on a dangerous mark and his second of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in May was a fine effort; subsequent run in the Dash at Epsom can be forgiven (ground) and this should be more to his liking; other pace influences on show. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
C&D scorer but his recent form is far from encouraging, beating only two in 5f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; hood goes back on; work to do. |
14/1 |
|
7th 1 (2) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Possibly needed latest run (when back from a break); losing sequence is mounting up but this drop in class may do the trick; interesting at this level off 11lb below last winning mark. |
13/2 |
|
14 (3) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
The vast majority of his recent racing has come at 5f and he's unraced at 7f; however, he wasn't stopping at the line when third here (6f, good) last Saturday and this trip is worth a go. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Won the same Class 4 at the other Newmarket track (5f, visored) in July for the third consecutive year; held in a higher grade subsequently but he's now just 2lb higher and this drop back into calmer waters must help; no headgear for his first visit to the Rowley, though. |
8/1 |
|
12th 6 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Back to winning ways in a small-field Class 4 handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in July; he has come up short twice since and looks vulnerable for win purposes. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Most wins come on turf and he has looked on the downgrade this season, but this is a bit easier again down another 2lb; not far away over C&D last time and holds claims. |
6/1 |
|
6th 9 (9) |
3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Hard to win with these days but holds claims on his C&D second to a well-handicapped winner a little over a month ago; worth a look back in cheekpieces from a visor. |
7/1 |
|
9th 14 (16) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
0-9 this year but has run well on two of his last three starts, posting a very close third at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) and finishing second at Southwell (6f, AW) most recently; her last win came on good to soft; chance. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Prolific in 2024 and made a welcome return to form when third last week at Nottingham (5f, good); has slipped to a good mark. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won six times in 2024, all over about 5f in first half of the year, but well below her best this season and going the wrong way. |
16/1 |
|
9th 3 (7) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won six times in 2024 but well below her best this season; continues to slide down the weights but her last couple of efforts were particularly disappointing and she has a much better strike-rate on turf. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |

Has won twice on the AW since finishing well held in this 12 months ago but hasn't offered all that much in his last three races. |
20/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Added another two AW wins to his tally earlier in the year; unplaced in three runs back on turf but dropping back into a Class 4 should help; others preferred all the same. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year; ran respectably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he was laboured in similar conditions at York two weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that and he's never won off a mark this high. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
String of short-priced defeats this year, often for Oisin Murphy; no question he's fairly handicapped back on the AW (goes well here) but he's become something of a professional loser. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Still seeking his first win of the year but he has run some good races, including a second of seven at Sandown on penultimate start; Ryan Moore booked but others may have this 6yo's measure. |
11/2 |
|
6th 2 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Running consistently all season and the handicapper continues to give him every chance (5lb lower than when last successful); ran well on his only previous start here too but he's ultimately made a career of getting beaten at short prices. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Five-time turf winner, latterly off this mark in June, who hasn't achieved a lot on the AW; lost his way of late and is some way down the pecking order. |
25/1 |
|
11th 7 (1) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Five wins over 5f/6f on varying ground on turf, the latest at Chepstow (5f, soft; first-time tongue-tie) in June; twice held since, though, and needs to get back on track. |

11st 11lb |
Front-runner who was beaten off only inside the final 1f at Lingfield last time; should make another bold bid but he's still 4lb higher than when making all at Yarmouth in the spring. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Front-runner who's drawn to attack and boasts a solid record over C&D; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark, though, for a yard also responsible for Ziggy's Missile. |

Made a winning reappearance at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he's finished no better than sixth across his five runs since; blinkers/cheekpieces worn on last two outings are left off for this return to AW. |

10th 4 (5) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made a winning reappearance at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he's finished no better than sixth across his four runs since; has to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces (replacing the blinkers adopted last time). |
