18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Highly tried after winning a York maiden (6f, good to firm) and a Newbury novice (6f, good) last season; gelded in November; disappointing this season; first run at 7f. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Highly tried last term after novice success; never figured in Windsor handicap on reappearance but may fare better with the outing under his belt; check the betting. |

9th 3 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won a maiden and a novice last summer before coming up short in stronger company; gelded over the winter; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Newbury last month (6f Listed; 40-1 at the time of withdrawal); this should be more suitable but others bring stronger claims. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Sole 3yo in this field; largely progressive colt whose form features wins in York sales race as a 2yo and C&D Listed event on penultimate outing; creditable seventh in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot latest; may have more to offer back down in class; major player. |
5/1 |

7th 13 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a sales race at York (6f, good to firm) last August and his form went to a new level when an all-the-way Listed winner at Newbury (6f, good) last month, narrowly from Albert Einstein; this is his first Group-race assignment and further improvement is needed but he's an each-way possible. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Posted good performances (won/second) in sales races last term and ran creditably off top weight in Newmarket handicap (6f, good) on reappearance; however, has something to find on ratings in this field. |

3rd 1 (8) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Second of 20 in a sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last August is his clear standout effort and a repeat would make him hard to beat; suffered heavy defeats in his next two starts but he returned after wind surgery with a respectable fourth at Brighton two weeks ago; needs to build on that but blinkers could help and he's still lightly raced; respected. |
9/4 |

4th 1 (2) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Second of 20 in a sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last August his clear standout effort and a repeat would make him hard to beat; two heavy defeats have followed, including on his reappearance (7f, good) ten weeks ago; had wind surgery since and he commands respect back sprinting. |

4th 8 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Won 6f Group 3 on AW last September and fourth in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) three weeks later; that rounded off his 2yo campaign but he's been regressive in three runs this season and was down the field in a York handicap last time; has some questions to answer and he's untried at this trip. |
14/1 |
|
13th 1 (17) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won 6f AW Group 3 last September and fourth in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) three weeks later; below best in Group races on both starts this year but wasn't devoid of promise at Newmarket, and Haydock last time was a first run on slow ground; not discounted on handicap debut. |
16/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
AW Group 3 winner last September and bettered that form when 2.75l fourth to Wise Approach (Brussels second, Coppull third) in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) later that month; late headway for seventh of 14 in 5f Group 3 back at Newmarket on reappearance; likely to benefit from the return to 6f but whether he's quite good enough remains to be seen. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
In the placings on all five starts on a variety of surfaces as a juvenile (6f/7f) and he deservedly made the breakthrough on his reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month; respectable fifth of 14 at Hamilton on his recent handicap debut and this experiment at 5f looks worth a go. |
6/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Placed on all his five runs at 2yrs before (gelded) getting off the mark in 6f Newcastle maiden on his return last month; he must enter calculations back in handicap company. |
9/1 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
The most experienced of these and has been placed on all five starts at 6f and 7f; has been gelded since his last run in October and he should go close. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-race maiden; ran respectably in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) most recently; possibilities off a reduced mark dropped in class with the headgear retained; sole runner on the card for his Newmarket yard. |
100/30 |
|
4th 7 (2) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Exposed maiden (5f-7f) who finished well held in first-time cheekpieces on his handicap debut early in the month; now tried in blinkers and needs to improve on his previous AW work. |
10/1 |
|
7th 5 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-race maiden who is making belated handicap debut; chance of opening his account largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |
