13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Made it four wins for the year (good to soft/good) with 7f Listed success at Chester in June; however, a career best is needed this afternoon and she may have gone off the boil judged on her last two starts. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Acts on most ground; has won three handicaps at Musselburgh this season and gained her first Listed success when scoring at Chester (7f, good) in June, but she was below that level at Pontefract (1m) last month; has a better draw than she did when down the field in this contest last year but is now 11lb higher than when last seen in handicap company. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Could hardly be coming into this in better form, winning four of her last five starts including another Listed event at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; still favoured on these terms despite her 3lb penalty and although the stiffer mile is one small question mark, she is a major player nonetheless. |

10st 2lb |
Better than ever when landing a second 7f Goodwood success of the year in 20-runner event at last week's Glorious meeting (good to firm), with the reopposing Pellitory well behind; a further 4lb rise seems unlikely to prevent another prominent showing from this thriving 5yo. |

1st 11 (10) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins last year and he won 14-runner handicap over C&D (good) in May; solid fourth to Colombier at Epsom next time and it was a narrow career best when second of 11 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago; will probably need another pb but that's not out of the question and Ryan Moore rides; considered. |
15/2 |

2nd 1 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Arrives in good form having won at Goodwood (7f, good) then made the frame in competitive field at Epsom (7f, good to soft); however, he remains on a career-high mark and has to concede weight all round. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive for James Owen last year and he has hit new heights in 2026, winning at Goodwood and Newbury (both 6f on good ground) in May and running big races in major handicaps over C&D (Wokingham), Goodwood (Stewards' Cup) and York since; not so good in the Ayr Gold Cup last time but he's not the type to stay down for long. |
8/1 |
|
11th 13 (14) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive for James Owen last year and he has hit new heights in 2026, winning at Goodwood and Newbury (both 6f on good ground) in May and running big races in major handicaps at Ascot, Goodwood and York since; only beaten a nose at the Ebor meeting and that race is already working out extremely well; 3lb well in so his claims are obvious. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 5 (12) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of five of his 12 starts (5.7f-6f) since joining James Owen last summer; fourth and sixth in major handicaps on last two starts and it would seem highly likely that he will give his running once again; appears to handle any ground. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Prolific winner at up to 1m; more miss than hit in 2026 but that is reflected in a much-reduced handicap mark; today's trip is a query. |
14/1 |

8th 10 (5) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won this two years ago; inconsistent this season but has been competitive on a couple of occasions and he'll handle the ground. |

Eight-time turf winner; rather inconsistent this season; has a chance on his third here in August (1m, good) but this softer ground against him. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

While his 2026 campaign has been underwhelming, he has dropped down the weights and three of his last four runs have been creditable; each-way claims back into Class 6 company. |
10/1 |

5th 8 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Should be well handicapped but slow starts are holding him back; did well to finish fourth at Musselburgh recently but he seems risky these days. |

9st 8lb |
Won two in a row in July, including her second C&D victory (good to soft), and she's also won on soft ground; however, she hasn't been at her very best on her last three outings and needs something extra today. |

29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |

Three wins this season, the latest over C&D (good) in July; versatile regarding ground but recent efforts suggest she's on a fairly tough mark now. |

17th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 188y |

Dual Flat winner in Britain but safely held in three maiden hurdles for this yard; potential improver entering handicaps although yard has a seemingly stronger contender here in Lenjoleur De Palma. |
14/1 |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Dual Flat winner in Britain and useful in that scene; however, beaten 30l and 25l over hurdles and looks one for handicaps. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |

Dual Flat winner in Britain (rated 80); fair enough effort on stable debut over C&D in May; last of seven on the Flat 39 days ago, however; up against it. |
