3rd 1 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Has led; won 6f Windsor novice as 2yo, also in the frame in Listed events; found little when upped to 7f on Newbury comeback but finished close up back over 6f at Windsor recently in new aids (tongue-tie retained, blinkers discarded); stamina still to be proved over 7f but can't rule out. |

3rd 7 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
His 2yo win came in good style over C&D but he was the red-hot favourite; his limitations have been exposed since and he was beaten 8l on his return to action in April (7f, good); returns to 6f with a tongue-tie and blinkers fitted; not easy to assess. |
12/1 |
|
10th 7 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Raced over 6f as a 2yo, winning a Windsor novice by daylight last June and third in Listed race here three weeks later; soft ground excuses his poor run when last seen; improvement required for the longer trip and/or a gelding operation if he is to win today. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Highly tried last year; has shown this mark is within range since handicapping this season, including from wide stalls at Chester; again might have been better drawn on this AW debut (dam did her winning for the yard on turf) in first-time headgear. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
No wins since a 10-1 success on his debut at Ayr a year ago but he made a bold bid from the front when second in a quite valuable handicap over 7.5f here (good to soft) a fortnight ago; same mark today and dangerous if able to get loose on the front end again. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
No wins since a 10-1 success on his debut at Ayr about a year ago but he was set some tall orders for the remainder of last term and his reappearance/handicap debut here (also 6f, good) was encouraging; didn't build on that next time, though, and he's just 1lb lower. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two 2yo wins (good to firm/good to soft) including 5f nursery at Haydock on final juvenile start, and reappeared with near-miss at Wolverhampton (5f, AW); excuses on both starts since, drawn wide at Chester then helping set the race up for the closers at Sandown; not ruled out each-way. |
16/1 |

8th 1 (5) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Landed Hamilton maiden (6f, good to firm) on debut but better form after wind surgery when bagging Haydock handicap (5f, good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and ran well for second (5f, AW; winner on the middle leg of a hat-trick) on his reappearance, while latest start from a wide stall at Chester can be written off; needs considering. |
9/2 |
|
11th 3 (12) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice as a 2yo, notably a 5f nursery (good to soft) at Haydock in September; gelded afterwards; made a promising seasonal return at Wolverhampton in March, narrowly failing to reel in one who has since boosted the form; appeals as being ahead of his mark, despite a 2lb rise for Wolverhampton, but stall 12 isn't ideal. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Second in the Gimcrack at York (6f, good to firm) last August but well beaten in the Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, good to soft) next time and same story in the Sandy Lane at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last month; cheekpieces and the return to fast ground could help but others have less to prove. |
50/1 |

6th 6 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Raced at 6f; smart 2yo, notably second in the Gimcrack at York; below par tackling going softer than good for the first when sixth in the Mill Reef at Newbury on final start, which is a bit of a concern should the ground here remain on the soft side; on a positive note, his yard has won this twice since 2019, including with Inisherin in these silks two years ago. |
10/1 |

4 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Campaigned exclusively over 6f on good/firmer; has shown very notable form the last twice, beating all bar the smart favourite in C&D Listed event then clear second in the Gimcrack at York; leading form claims. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up to Charles Darwin in the Norfolk here (5f, good to firm) 12 months ago and won the Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in September; hasn't hit the same heights in races won by Coppull and Song Of The Clyde this season but he's not written off. |

4th 1 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned only on good/firmer; progressive 2yo campaign featured 6f wins at Newbury (Listed) and Newmarket (Group 1 Middle Park Stakes); may be back in top form with Ascot reappearance (Group 3) under his belt; major player, despite conceding weight all round. |
9/2 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
On the up when last seen, rounding off his 2yo campaign with a comfortable come-from-behind win in the Middle Park in September (6f, good to firm); may confirm his superiority over Brussels and Coppull despite the weights turnaround and he is not fully exposed just yet. |
