15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Gained a third win when beating Desert Shadow at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in May and he went down narrowly over that C&D (good; third has won since) four weeks ago; leading claims from an unchanged mark. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Newbury (1m, good to firm) this month and the return here makes him especially interesting given he is 2-2 over C&D; drying ground a positive. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Took full advantage of the drop into Class 4 company when readily seeing off five rivals at Redcar last week (1m, good to firm); penalised in a deeper race but he still commands serious respect. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Well beaten in Bahrain in February when last seen and a wide draw could prove tough for this front-runner; however, he won two C&D handicaps last summer (good/good to firm) and was back on the scoresheet in Bahrain in January; unbeaten at York and could make a bold bid at a big price. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Front-runner who won when upped to 1m2f at York (good) in July and followed up in a big field there (1m2f, good to firm) at the Ebor meeting; has also won here and shown promise on soft ground; unexposed at today's trip and has gone up just 3lb for last time; can make another bold bid. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Scored three times, including over C&D, in 2024; has built up a long losing sequence since but is an in-form contender, half-length second when favourite at Carlisle most recently; on an attractive mark and Jake Dickson takes off a bonus 7lb; possibilities. |

2nd 3 (9) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Not beaten far on his last three starts and it was a solid fifth of 14 in the 1m Carlisle Bell (first-time blinkers, retained) ten days ago; handicapped to be competitive again. |
5/1 |

5th 16 (10) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins came in 2024 over 1m2f (good/good to firm) but he was runner-up three times last season; fair effort at York last time and now has first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces now trying 1m for the first time since his debut. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender. |
9/2 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner, three times at around 1m2f (good/good to firm) last summer; well handicapped on his best form last season but he's been quiet in two runs this spring and needs to rediscover his spark. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Threatened on AW and turf in the spring but his last two efforts have been below par (C&D latterly); feasibly handicapped but others are more persuasive. |
6/1 |
|
6th 11 (11) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Not at his best two weeks ago but he had been threatening on both AW and turf beforehand; on a dangerous mark and he can't be discounted. |
9/1 |
|
10th 10 (14) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
On a long losing sequence but twice went close on AW earlier this year and he was denied a clear run when 2l fourth of 11 at Newmarket (7f, good) last month; seems versatile ground-wise; might not be far away. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 9lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year; back to near his best when eighth of 20 at Royal Ascot (2m4f) but he needs to hit a new high if he's to win this. |
16/1 |
|
8th 1 (16) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 9lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year; not nearly so good in his two races back on turf but his recent run at Epsom (1m2f) should have teed him up nicely for this; current mark and tactical issues coming from the rear are the chief worries. |
12/1 |
|
10th 5 (17) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft, much more to prove on soft; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 10lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year, prior to tailing off at 50-1 in the Group 3 Ormonde at Chester four weeks ago; he's not on a bad mark but plenty needs to go right if one of his late rushes is to prevail in this. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Was winning for the first time since his debut when just prevailing over 1m4f here (good) last month, but may not have been suited by the conditions when third of six at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) 12 days ago; each-way claims. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Was winning for the first time since his debut when just getting the better of Patrol at Newbury (1m4f, good) last month; 5lb higher and could probably do with the ground drying out (best form on good or faster), but still respected. |
5/2 |
|
1st 14 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has slipped to a career-low mark and well-backed fifth of 15 when returned to turf at Doncaster (1m2f) in March last time wasn't too bad; however, his record over that sort of trip is far more appealing than his two runs at 1m4f and his turf tally is 0-11. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Prevailed narrowly in cheekpieces at Musselburgh (1m, good) last time, registering a first win since 2024; back up 3lb but remains well treated on peak form, which includes a Ripon success; headgear removed; should remain competitive. |
3/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Winless since November 2024 and tried in cheekpieces when a below-par sixth of 12 in 1m Redcar handicap last month; needs to bounce back with headgear retained. |
11/4 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Placed twice since dropped back to 1m last month, more recently when very close third (just behind The Sweet Escape) at Leicester (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; competes off same mark here; big player if new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner but recent C&D second of 14 is as good as anything he's produced, leading until the final 110yds; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if in similar form. |
17/2 |
|
2nd 8 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
This trip on fast ground suits and every chance with a repeat of his two runs at Ripon; took a backward step here two weeks ago but he has C&D form and could run well. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1m2f on fast ground suits and comes into the reckoning after two sound placed efforts at Ripon this season, beaten a head into second place last time; chance. |
