10th 1 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Respectable fifth in this year's Victoria Cup; prevailed last Saturday to take C&D record to 2-2 and overall strike-rate to 7-23; incurs 6lb penalty but Conor Whiteley takes off a useful 5lb; major player. |
8/1 |

1st 3 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) but was on the unfavoured far side and prior to that he ran well when fifth of 21 in the Victoria Cup there (7f, good); won over C&D last August; chance. |
6/1 |
|
20th 10 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
A strike-rate of 4-7 on AW includes two Listed wins, at 7f and 6f; not quite so good on grass as yet but he has a 7lb lower turf mark and indicated he could make it pay when an excellent fifth in the big-field Victoria Cup over 7f here (good; has won on good to firm) in May, not ideally positioned there as it turned out; one to consider back at 6f. |

3rd 6 (10) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say. |
16/1 |

13th 1 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Disappointing at Epsom a fortnight ago but won on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) last month and he has a very solid record at this track, featuring a C&D win and 2l fourth in this last year; could bounce back. |
14/1 |

17th 8 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Versatile regarding ground and he was winning his 12th race when beating Jimmy Speaking and Final Night at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; that was a comfortable win and he has the assistance of Ryan Moore but this demands more from him (has never won off a mark this high). |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
On a three-year losing run and nothing like the force of old but his current mark reflects that and this is a good bit easier than the two handicaps he tackled in the spring; no surprise were this class dropper to go well with his yard among the winners. |
8/1 |
|
12th 29 (24) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two-time Group winner over 7f but is on a near three-year losing spell and current mark reflects that he's not the force of old (admittedly showed bits of useful form in 2025); needs to step up on reappearance effort; failed to shine in the last two runnings of this contest. |
33/1 |
|
8th 4 (12) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner who could only beat one home in this race when it was staged as a Class 2 last year; managed a handful of creditable efforts subsequently but it's hard to ignore his last win came back in June 2023 (7f Group 3); returns on reduced mark. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has led; won sole 2yo start (7f, AW); well held when attempting 6f at Leicester in May and he didn't look to be crying out for a return to this trip when plugging on into fourth of eight at Newmarket (7f) in August; could be tough against the specialists; blinkers fitted. |
14/1 |

4th 6 (6) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Showed the immediate benefit of surgery with a career-best third at Haydock (7f, good; same mark), where he was keen under restraint but kept on; enters the reckoning. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won sole 2yo start (7f, AW); three runs this year, with a fair sixth at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last time on handicap debut; improvement needed but he's been gelded since and his trainer has won the last two runnings; interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Successful over C&D on 2yo debut; 0-13 since but ran encouragingly at Windsor (6f) most recently, after a spell at Meydan; returns to this venue with a fighting chance off current mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 11 (8) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
0-12 since his wide-margin debut win as a 2yo but he ended 2025 with some good runs and went close in Dubai in December (6f, good to firm); his last two runs at Meydan weren't his best but a break may have freshened him up and he is on a dangerous mark. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Returned to form to win over here over 7f a week ago, beating six rivals; a 5lb penalty still leaves him on a handy mark based on last year's form and he's relatively unexposed on the AW; contender with the step back up to 1m no concern. |
3/1 |
|
6 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
On a reduced mark but he's been well held in his last five runs and is now 0-17 since his last win in August 2024; withdrawn after refusing to enter the stalls at Kempton last week, but he was 7-2 at the time. |
11/2 |

5 (3) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

On a reduced mark but he's not been on top form in 2025; drops back down in grade today but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Useful 3yo for Tom Clover but has gone backwards since; sold for 2,000gns to join current yard this month; risks involved in yet another change of headgear on stable debut. |

8th 6 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Useful 3yo for Tom Clover, including a C&D win, who proved hard to place last year; handicapper given him a chance now, but he ran below market expectations for another new yard back from wind surgery last time; risks involved in first-time blinkers. |
7/1 |
|
7th 3 (5) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual fast-ground winner (1m/7f) for Tom Clover, including on his debut at this track in April 2024; shaped quite well at Kempton (6f, AW) in December but failed to build on that next time and has since left Mick Appleby; has bit to prove after six months off but he's had wind surgery and needs watching in market on stable debut. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Always behind in the boiling cauldron of a Royal Ascot handicap last week; progressive otherwise and still has good stats, being 9-22 overall, 2-3 this term and 6-11 over 7f (1-1 over C&D); however, has to overcome a 3lb penalty for the Group 3 win achieved against her own sex in May. |
20/1 |

25th 7 (24) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Campaigned mainly on good/firmer; progressive and brings impressive stats, being 9-21 overall, 2-2 this season, 6-10 over 7f and 4-5 under William Buick; well on top in big-field handicap at Newmarket on reappearance and followed up in Lingfield Group 3; lots to like about her. |
12/1 |
|
1st 7 (8) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive mare who scored for the eighth time when beating 18-runner field at Newmarket (7f, good) at last month's Craven meeting; might need some luck in running if the field gravitates to the stands' side but thoroughly deserves this first crack at a Pattern race, with the ceiling of her ability probably yet to be reached. |
