22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft but soft would be a worry; tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f; 10lb higher today) last October and he's looked just as good on most starts since, without winning but late traffic woes seemingly prevented him from going close last time; without his usual jockey Billy Loughnane today but he was a close second last term under Clifford Lee; probably involved if he can get the breaks. |

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. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Useful maiden on the Flat at up 1m5f and he has a record of 2212 since switched to hurdling for his current yard; seems to be learning to settle better and he didn't get a smooth run when an eye-catching second in the juvenile handicap at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) last month; that was another good step forward and he could continue to progress in this sphere; interesting contender. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 7 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has more scope than your typical ex-Flat 4yo and he was a useful maiden in that scene at up to 1m5f; came up short in his first two hurdle races but was unlucky not to be closer to leading Triumph contender Minella Study here in December (good to soft) and then, despite racing freely, won as he liked when a strong favourite at Ascot (soft); made all that day and those tactics can spell danger in a race of this nature, but he should have more to give; Jack Kennedy is a notable booking with the Elliott stable represented. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 157y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Useful maiden on the Flat in Ireland; has shaped nicely on both starts over hurdles, short of room before the last flight when second to a promising sort at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft; raced freely) five weeks ago; could do with settling better but has the best form as things stand. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Mostly creditable efforts in defeat this season, including second of nine at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) last month; below-par sixth in this race on heavy ground last year; William Buick up but others arrive with more pressing claims. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 4 (10) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Had a good summer over about 1m4f last term, including when beaten a neck by Night Breeze in this race; some minor honours this season, without being quite in peak form but he is in serious each-way calculations. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 2 (11) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Had a good summer over about 1m4f last term, including a win in this race (good to soft) off 6lb lower; the handicapper has been winning the argument since but recent efforts have been creditable and he ought to be competitive again. |

Five-time winner, including over C&D; absent since creditable second in last year's November Handicap at Doncaster on debut for new yard; hit with another rise in the weights but drops back in class and may remain competitive. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (9) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Two wins for new stable since the spring, the latter when fending off Azahara Palace here (11.6f heavy) last month; very versatile regarding ground but faces tough task on first attempt at 1m6f. |

Won this race last year and at Goodwood this June; with a creditable run last time and no ground worries, there's lots to suggest she will be in serious contention. |

4th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Ended last season on a high with 1m4f Listed win at Naas in a race in which stablemate Starford flopped; maintained progression at Naas on return; beat all bar a restored-to-form Starford in a Group 3 over C&D; has developed into a dependable mare; best suited by easy ground; faces stiffest task yet. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ran okay in a Class 2 AW handicap last time as that race didn't go to plan; exposed but he's on a career-low mark and has won on soft ground; couldn't put a line through him. |
12/1 |
|
8th 13 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |

Infrequent winner but is 2-4 on Tapeta, his latest win coming from 3lb lower at Newcastle (1m2f) last September; could go well at a price. |
16/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
He's won just one of his last 23 starts and has failed to fire on his last two outings; however, he had a tough assignment in the John Smith's Cup at York last Saturday and he's dropped to a handy mark; runner-up to the 4-7 favourite in this race last year and he's not ruled out. |

13th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 4f 46y |

Four-time winner, latterly in 2023; continues to threaten now and again, as at Galway in August, but questionable whether he wants the ground this testing. |
12/1 |
|
10th 9 (9) |
22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |
8st 11lb |
Four-time winner for Andrew Slattery with last win coming in 2023; went close at Galway in August (1m4f, yielding) when Thatwilldoso won; posted another decent effort at Roscommon last time when third, behind Clear Quartz and Granite Bay; can go well again. |
9/1 |

3rd 1 (16) |

The last of his four wins came in 2023; was just denied at Galway but was below that form at Chepstow five days later, both over this trip; 4lb higher but can run well if back to form. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has been keeping busy, winning at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last month and going close on two of his three starts since, most recently beaten half a length at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); has won here and is capable of another bold bid. |
7/1 |

3 (6) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Usually front-runs; never better than with his first and second at the end of last month, which were on AW however and his top four RPRs have now been registered in that sphere; something to find on turf, including as he was third here (1m6f, good to firm) earlier in July but is now 7lb higher and he dropped out at Chepstow on Thursday. |

4th 2 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Regressive 6yo who managed only third of four over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and is now 0-5 for his new stable this year; cheekpieces (no obvious effect when used twice last season) are given another whirl; revival needed. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Made all at Ripon (1m4f, good) in May on stable debut and he's been a good second on two of his three starts since (1m4f, good/good to firm), including here; didn't convince with his stamina for 2m back in January 2025 but a staying trip is worth another go and he's a major player if seeing it out. |

Front-runner who has done all his winning at Newcastle (AW) and Ripon, most recently in May on debut for new stable; has remained in form; should take well to Catterick, given his style of racing; possibilities. |

3rd 4 (1) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
First two wins were at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) and last two have been over C&D (good to soft/good); his last success was on his stable debut last month and he backed that up with a front-running second at Pontefract (1m4f) last week; that was a four-runner race but he chased home a progressive stablemate who has scored again since; respected off same mark. |

19th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

Four wins in France, two on the AW; failed to win in seven runs for David O'Meara, best effort when runner-up at Hamilton in June (1m5f, good); tailed off at Chepstow this month on stable debut (1m4f, good to soft; 22-1); cheekpieces are now tried; best watched. |

Four French wins (10.5f-1m4f) but failed to win in seven attempts for David O'Meara, the latest when fourth of five at Hamilton three weeks ago; has joined another stable which does really well with new recruits but others arrives with more pressing claims. |
