1st 4 (8) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Did well on AW last winter and even better form when the cheekpieces replaced a visor at Goodwood (1m4f, good) four weeks ago, leading over 1f out to score with rather more authority than the half-length winning margin suggests; used to act on good to firm; up 3lb but firmly in the picture. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two 1m4f AW wins for Denis Quinn in the winter and a respectable fifth at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April on sole starts for John Ryan; left the impression he's still in form at Thirsk 19 days ago on his first start for this yard and cheekpieces now go on. |
14/1 |

Two 1m4f AW wins last winter for Denis Quinn and respectable fifth of 15 at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month on sole run for John Ryan; however, it's a long time since he ran well on turf and has something to prove back on grass; stable debut. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Useful Flat winner so he's been disappointing over hurdles, though has finished within 10l of the winner in his last two handicaps (2m4f/3m); a visor replaces cheekpieces and this aid did nothing for him on the Flat. |
20/1 |

4th 4 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat maiden for Owen Burrows; yet to show that level of form in this sphere but took a step forward when sixth of 12 in 2m4f Wincanton handicap 17 days ago; possibilities off a slipping mark. |
8/1 |

6th 7 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Became disappointing on the Flat last year and has not shown much since switched to hurdling; pulled up when 40-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft); difficult to enthuse over. |

9st 4lb |
Won on Polytrack at Lingfield (1m4f) in June; solid second back there earlier this month; slowly away when sixth over C&D last Thursday and threatened not to start at all a couple of times this year; risky. |
25/1 |

6th 6 (10) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Returned to winning form when beating Solanna at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) in June and ran a solid race when second of six back there ten days ago; shortlisted on those efforts, but twice proved reluctant to race during the summer so does come with risks attached. |
6/1 |
|
2 (2) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won over C&D in June and was a respectable fourth at Kempton (1m4f, AW) on Friday but she's not easy to predict and looked reluctant to race on her penultimate run; comes with risks attached and others are more solid. |

10st 0lb |
Has form figures of 513143222 for her current yard and she hit a personal best when going close at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) last month; only 1lb higher here and she's a big player again back on Tapeta. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
6yo who's never been better, with two ready 1m4f wins for new yard this year and good efforts to be placed on last two outings; has had just one race on soft (none on heavy) but won it, in 2023; needs a second look. |

9st 9lb |
Won three of first four starts for Alan King in 2023, including here (1m4f) on stable debut; wind surgery at the end of that year and winless since, although did go close over hurdles in March; latest fifth back here may be a step in the right direction; visor goes on; edging down the weights. |

13th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won three of his first four starts for Alan King in 2023; signs of life over hurdles at Fakenham this March but wasn't in the same form next time and didn't offer much back on the Flat 48 days ago. |
12/1 |

4th 4 (6) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won his novice over C&D and has since added three handicaps from 1m3f to 1m4f; disappointing final run over hurdles but went close in a maiden before then and there's nothing wrong with this mark. |

9st 8lb |
Ran well when second of nine in returning cheekpieces at Leicester (1m4f, good) 15 days ago, but all seven wins have been on the AW; still 6lb lower than for the latest of those, but he attempts beyond 1m6f for the first time on his 63rd outing. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

All seven wins have been on the AW (1m2f-1m4f) and he ran creditably on his last two starts; however, he's yet to finish in the first three in five starts on turf and others are preferred; cheekpieces are back on for the first time since 2024. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Completed a 2m AW hat-trick over the winter and she posted another good effort with second of five in 1m4f handicap at Epsom in April; that form has been well advertised since so she's not taken lightly eased 1lb after a break. |
9/4 |

2nd 5 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Ex-Irish mare who secured an AW hat-trick once upped to 2m across December and January but suffered odds-on reversal when dropped to 1m6f in bid for the four-timer; drops further in trip returned to turf (had form on grass in Ireland) on this first start for three months; others more persuasive. |
8/1 |

5th 1 (7) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 3-3 since upped to 2m, most recently scoring readily at Lingfield last week; incurs 5lb penalty but Jude Fernandes takes off 7lb; ran well over C&D prior to the hat-trick; progressing well on AW and commands respect. |

3rd 2 (5) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Heavy-ground winner in autumn 2024 who proved patchy during a limited campaign last year (fair second for Frederick Tett latterly); inclind to pull hard on comeback (Tapeta) and should fare better in a first-time tongue-tie. |
6/1 |

7th 8 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |

Sole success came at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) in October 2024 and ended the last campaign with a fair second of seven at Nottingham (1m2f, soft); off six months and has run well fresh, but others still make greater appeal. |

1m4f AW handicap win for the Gosdens and doubled his tally in soft-ground handicap at Yarmouth (1m2f) for William Knight, both in 2024; couldn't recapture that form last year and was sold for 8,000gns in October; starts out for new yard from career-low mark so worth a check of the betting. |

Two wins in 2024, over 1m4f (AW) and 1m2f (soft), but it's been a slog this year and he's gone into reverse since a better effort in third of 11 at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in July; the recent rain is in his favour now back on turf, though, and he's not ruled out. |

Dual winner last year (C&D first occasion) but there's been an echo of that form only once this season, when third at Windsor on penultimate start; sinking in the weights but C&D tenth on latest dampens enthusiasm. |

8st 12lb |
Won three of his five handicaps, including warm events on good to firm at Ascot (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m3f) in his two starts this season; firmly in charge on first occasion and absolutely hacked up when 5-6 favourite in the latter 16 days ago; shoulders a 6lb penalty today, whereas his mark for future engagements is 11lb higher still; that suggests he wins today if he stays this new trip, and the dam being sister to a 1m5f-2m winner gives plenty of encouragement; deservedly a hot favourite. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Fairly unexposed sort who showed his best form when taking 14-runner Ascot handicap (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; that race has worked out well, with the third and fourth winning big handicaps at Royal Ascot and at Epsom on Derby day respectively, so a 5lb rise now looks on the lenient side; form of his close second on final start of last year was also boosted at last week's royal meeting and he's a key contender. |

Winning handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last August; didn't fire in the same way back at Kempton (1m3f) next time but resumed his progression in no uncertain terms when close second in valuable 3yo handicap at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on final start, form which was strongly boosted last weekend by the winner (Yabher) and third (Daiquiri Bay); could have a big say if the betting suggests he's ready to roll after 211 days off. |

Won on the Flat at Brighton in September; has taken well to hurdling, finishing runner-up on both starts, latest when beaten a neck at Newbury (2m, good to soft; 5-2) ten days ago; looks a matter of time before he gets his head in front in this sphere. |

No great shakes on the Flat (1-11) but he did win his final run in that scene over 1m4f at Brighton in September (good to firm; also runner-up on soft); failed favourite backers when second on hurdling debut (Warwick; 2m, good) but the winner has since progressed to better things; absent since November but his yard has won two of the last four renewals of this; player. |
