18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two wins last summer and he showed spark as recently as this April; he's dropped to a dangerous mark but has failed to shine on his last three outings and arrives with something to prove. |

Well treated on the form he showed last August, including win at Haydock and close third at the York Ebor festival; absent since finishing rather tamely over C&D two months ago. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Two quick runs at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago, beaten only 2l when fifth of 20 on the Wednesday (7f, good to firm) then seventh of 18 in the Golden Mile on the Friday (good to firm) when he would have been closer with a clear run; it's possible he'll be involved; unproven on slow ground. |
12/1 |

7th 18 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Ran encouragingly in a couple of races won by English Oak during his spell in Meydan and wasn't disgraced at Goodwood (7f) on Wednesday; however, still has a poor strike-rate as it's two years since his sole success; steps back up in trip/class. |
25/1 |
|
5th 9 (8) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Just one novice stakes win for Hugo Palmer but recorded plenty of good efforts, including when he split two subsequent Group winners in a 1m conditions race here (good) last May; didn't run badly in three of four starts in Meydan for this yard earlier in the year, but his British return from a 111-day break was underwhelming last month; might have needed that and he's not badly treated. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ended 2025 with 1m Southwell win and largely in good nick this season, seventh of 14 in 1m Carlisle handicap last month; not ruled out from a slipping mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 3 (14) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Six-time winner, the most recent coming on the AW at Southwell off this mark in November; runner-up off a 4lb lower mark in this race in 2024 but he hasn't threatened in three starts this year; others make more appeal. |
25/1 |
|
13th 2 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Course winner (1m, good) last summer and signed off 2025 with 1m success at Southwell; better effort this year when respectable seventh of 11 at Beverley (7.5f, good) a fortnight ago; may come on again. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race last year on soft ground and he's now 4lb lower; shaped well from unfavourable draw when seventh at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; returning to 7f should suit, and rain would not inconvenience him in the slightest; wears headgear for the first time; big player despite unflattering form-figures. |
5/1 |
|
7th 4 (10) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Acts on fast and soft ground; hasn't been at the top of his game this season but he ran well when fifth at Chester (7.6f) in May and is now 2lb lower than for his Sandown win last summer; should be fine on this return to 1m and he's not ruled out back from a break. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won races for two previous yards and was a close third on debut for current one (1m1f, good to firm); hasn't kicked on from there, including here two runs back when beating one home over 6f; drops into a claimer but these terms aren't easy. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Successful for two previous yards and ran creditably at Ayr on debut for current stable; below par in two starts since but likely found 6f too sharp latest; returns to a more suitable distance. |
10/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April (final start for Stuart Williams); good start for Jennie Candlish when third over 1m1f at Ayr (good to firm) but not in the same form when beaten favourite at Carlisle (1m) ten days later; quite a strong traveller over those trips but whether he has the speed for sprinting remains to be seen. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Possible to excuse his last two efforts and was running well in defeat before that; 2lb lower than when successful at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) in June last year and, with the likely conditions not an issue, he makes the shortlist. |
7/1 |
|
10th 1 (14) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Fairly useful 1m winner in 2025; back on track when runner-up in handicaps (around 1m) at Thirsk and Epsom this summer but only eighth at Sandown (1m) last time; needs to bounce back. |
7/1 |
|
8th 9 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Back in form and threatening to regain the winning thread, having finished a creditable second in last two starts, latest at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Oaks day; back up another 2lb but can't be ruled out. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three AW wins; 0-9 on turf but has a 7f race in him on grass on best form in the spring and had another troubled run at Beverley on Friday; has worn various aids on last two starts, goes without this time. |
11/2 |
|
11th 3 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing run as he's winless since 2024; ran okay in a new hood/cheekpieces combination at Musselburgh but has another change of headgear now; others probably safer. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
On a long losing run but he looked an unlucky second over C&D in April and hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since, short of room last 1f when fifth at Catterick (7f) last time; weighted to go well off a reduced mark with cheekpieces added (hood also refitted). |

9st 11lb |
1-23 in Britain, the win coming from 2lb higher at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) in May; recent efforts suggest he will need to step up in order to make an impact; first-time visor joins the cheekpieces. |
14/1 |
|
4 (8) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |

Hasn't kicked on from a winning debut for this yard (1m; 1lb higher) and finished last on his previous AW start; others safer. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) on stable debut in May but diminishing returns in three runs since and was only eighth of ten at Haydock last month; now back on last winning mark but he needs to rediscover his spark back up in trip. |

Already a dual winner for current yard, latterly over 1m2f at Ayr (good to firm; has also won on heavy) in July; respectable efforts back at Ayr twice since; this former course scorer enters calculations. |
13/2 |

6th 8 (14) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Already a dual winner for current yard, going in over C&D in July; posted another solid effort with fourth of five over C&D last time; can't be discounted. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Eight-time turf winner who made 2-6 for Jim Goldie when justifying favouritism over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher and he won't mind if the forecast rain arrives; respected. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Slightly resurgent on reappearance but needs to build on that effort and remains far from solid on his form for current stable; was a useful sort for previous yard. |
20/1 |

6th 4 (2) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Useful performer at up to 1m6f for the Gosdens but regressive for his current yard and tailed off in his last five starts, including on hurdling debut in August; has plenty to prove on his return and last win was almost two years ago. |
25/1 |
|
4 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat performer at up to 1m6f for the Gosdens but regressive for his current yard and tailed off on his last four starts (blinkered on latest); perhaps he'll be sweetened up by hurdling but he carries obvious risks. |
