2nd 10 (8) |
1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
3yo maiden who has raced only at shorter, proving consistent in the main; out of the money at Epsom most recently but kept on and may be ready for a crack at this new trip; 5lb lower than opening mark; first win is not out of the question. |
7/1 |

6th 1 (7) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has run well in handicaps this year (1m/1m1f), with and without headgear; looks handicapped about right but Conor Whiteley is value for his claim. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Fair maiden who has been running well in handicaps this year, making the frame on four of his five starts; has the edge on experience and goes without cheekpieces worn on last three starts; should win sooner or later. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Gained sole win in a handicap but ties in with Dickensian and Redorange on his placed form this term; chance of landing this prize partly depends on the effects of physical tweak (gelded since last run). |
14/1 |
|
8th 11 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint last October and he's gone close in a couple of Listed races at York (5f, good to firm) this season, the latest three weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); however, his form has to go to a new level if he's to win this. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Third to Dickensian over C&D in May, stern assignments in Royal Ascot Group 1s since; sole win came in Yarmouth nursery and he's still in deep waters despite this apparent drop back in grade; cheekpieces replace visor. |

9th 14 (4) |
30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Five-race maiden; third in novice events at Nottingham (8.5f, good to soft) and Windsor (1m, good to soft) this year, but didn't get home here over 1m3f last month; should be suited by dropping back in trip for this handicap debut. |
20/1 |
|
8th 4 (5) |
5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Steadily progressive in four starts, the latest when third of 11 at Windsor (1m, good to soft) in June (race has produced a couple of winners); wouldn't be sure to appreciate this longer trip on breeding, though. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three starts, best effort when a close and closing third of 11 from off the pace in novice at Nottingham (1m, good to soft; 20-1) three weeks ago; retains potential and should be placed at the least. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won over 1m2f here in May on good to firm and has continued to run well, going in again at Hamilton in August (1m4f, good to soft; 5lb lower); up in the van throughout when beaten 2l in a big field at Leopardstown three weeks ago (1m5f); has got himself high in the weights but he usually gives his running. |
11/4 |
|
5th 7 (12) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Newmarket in May (1m2f, good to firm); unplaced twice before finishing a close third at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm); scored with a bit to spare in the Silver Bell at Hamilton on his first try at 1m4f; extra furlong should not be an issue, holds a leading chance. |
10/1 |
|
1st 8 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Newmarket in May (1m2f, good to firm) and fair runs since, last time finishing a close third at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm); has won on testing ground; a possible on first try at 1m4f. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Drawn on the wrong side at Royal Ascot on handicap debut and was a heavily backed winner at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, when making most; he did it in good style and a 9lb rise may not stop him this afternoon; ran well on good to soft last August, unraced on softer. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Built upon 2yo promise to win big-field maiden at Newbury (1m, good) on reappearance and when 13th of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) he was third of 15 in the far-side group; possible player. |
11/2 |
|
13th 30 (3) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Encouraging runs behind Group-class horses last season; back from a lengthy break and a gelding operation when the workmanlike winner of a big-field maiden at Newbury (1m, good) that's produced a stack of winners; unexposed and respected. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Hung sharply left but stuck on well to prevail in 3yo handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) five weeks ago, proving suited by the return to 7f for the first time this term; below par back over that C&D (good to soft, likely softer) last Saturday but he raced freely and had a possible ground excuse; could bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
5th 8 (6) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Hung sharply left but stuck on well to prevail in 3yo handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) four weeks ago, proving suited by the return to 7f for the first time this term and taking record to 3-11; may have further progress in him over this trip; major player. |
8/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Campaigned over shorter this term, posting a useful AW win on reappearance and not disgraced at Newmarket most recently; showed respectable 7f form as a 2yo, including a good effort in the maiden on this card and a success at Chester; still fairly unexposed over this distance; interesting. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Smart 2yo was a close fourth to Pierre Bonnard in a 1m2f Group 1; however, he has shown his best form over shorter this term, winning a Navan Listed race over 1m1f before a better effort when taking the Group 3 Desmond Stakes over C&D; looks the pick of his yard's trio so respected. |
5/2 |
|
1st 7 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Goodwood maiden winner on debut last August (7f, good to soft); creditable run in Group 1 at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in October; moderate efforts first two runs this term; back on song when winning a 1m1f Listed race at Navan; doubts raised by two subsequent runs; 1 3/4l behind Cowardofthecounty in the 1m1f Meld Stakes here. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Goodwood maiden winner on debut last August (7f, good to soft); creditable run in Group 1 at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in October; moderate efforts first two runs this term; back on song when winning a 1m1f Listed race at Navan (Geryon promoted to second); lost a lot of ground at the start when failing to confirm form with Geryon at the Curragh last time. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Running well on turf lately, winning at Leicester (1m, good) last month and beaten a neck and a head into third of 11 at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) ten days ago; failed to beat a rival over C&D in April, but still respected on recent efforts and is 1lb well in. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
His breakthrough win had been coming and he dug deep at Leicester a fortnight ago (1m, good); up 3lb but he's consistent. |
9/2 |
|
1st 14 (10) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Nine-race maiden who is in form, having performed creditably the last twice, running-on fifth at Epsom (8.5f) latest occasion; has edged down the weights; first win is not out of the question. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
His fourth of 30 in the Britannia at the royal meeting here (1m, good to firm) in June has been this season's highlight but not disgraced when beaten under 4l at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie); still has to prove himself at this trip but pedigree suggests he can do so. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
2yo novice winner and an always-prominent fourth of 30 on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; not so hot at Newmarket (1m) three weeks ago, which sees a tongue-tie enlisted today; his dam being a 1m4f/1m5f winner heightens interest in this new trip. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins over 1m at Windsor when racing prominently; 8lb higher than for the last of those but off the same mark as for his close second at Brighton last time; should be fine on the track; considered. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Always prominent when winning a pair of handicaps at Windsor (1m, good to firm); came up short in his hat-trick bid at Lingfield (1m, AW) on Tuesday but Billy Loughnane replaces a 7lb claimer and there could still be further progress in him. |
8/13 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Well beaten on handicap/AW debut over C&D in April, but has suddenly taken off on turf lately with two wins at Windsor (1m, good to firm), the first under Jude Fernandes; has a 6lb penalty to carry, but still a major player if his progress can be transferred back to Polytrack. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m, good) in June following a break and runner-up on two of his three starts since, most recently at Windsor (1m, good to soft); this progressive 3yo could play a leading role. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has improved since back on turf this year, coming home strongly when making a winning return from a break at Newmarket (1m, good) in June; has run respectably since without progressing and likely needs a shade more kept on a 7lb higher mark than for the win. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
No great progress in AW handicaps from last October to January but he found a powerful finish to make a successful return to turf at Newmarket (1m, good) in June; beaten at short odds but still matched that winning RPR when runner-up back there (good to firm) a week later; freshened up since; considered. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Struggled at huge odds in his qualifying runs but was 9-4 favourite on nursery debut at Brighton (7f, good to firm; cheekpieces added) last month and he didn't get much luck before finishing a close fourth of six; that was promising and he's a big player back up in trip. |

4 (4) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Well beaten at huge odds in his qualiying races (6f-1m) but gelded ahead of this nursery debut and cheekpieces are added; market informative. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Always behind in two maidens (6f/7f) at Glorious Goodwood, achieving two duck eggs; may do better at this level but essentially looks one for nurseries shortly. |
