26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Resumed winning ways in 6f Windsor handicap in August; not disgraced from a poor draw when in midfield in 21-runner handicap at York (5.5f) since; eased 1lb and can't be ruled out. |

Travelled powerfully before wearing down The Man close home in this race 12 months ago; he arrives 3lb higher this time around, penalised for last week's Windsor success (a race in which he was second before his win here last year); whether his draw in stall 20 is a positive remains to be seen though. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Did well in two big fields on good to firm at York last season but yet to show that form in 2026; cheekpieces went on for last two outings when slowly away at Glorious Goodwood and seventh of 21 at York, the latter rather disappointing given his market prominence and that he ran so well in it the year before; well handicapped but needs a revival. |
7/1 |

7th 20 (3) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won a 5f handicap at last season's Dante meeting here and confirmed the track suited him well when collared late by Trefor in this race 12 months ago; 3lb lower this time around and he has done enough in 2026 to think he retains all his ability; trainer is making a name for himself in the big sprint handicaps and it's likely this has been the main aim all summer; big chance if getting it right at the start. |

Back from a break and wind surgery when impressive in a big field at York in May 2024 (5f, good to firm; 7lb lower); however, failed to fire at Meydan this year and was again down the field at Newcastle a month ago; cheekpieces replace a hood. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

A sprinter on a sharp upward curve, winning notable handicaps at York and Doncaster (extended 5f; good) in recent months; likely to make his mark at this level in time and he is one to take seriously. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Enjoyed his finest hour when rattling home to win a 5.4f handicap at York's Ebor meeting last month; more prominently ridden over 6f three days later and didn't quite see it out on good to soft ground; still has time to do better but this mark does demand it. |

In good form this year and he took it to a new level when powering home to win the 5.4f handicap here on Wednesday; has had few chances at 6f (third to Stratusnine over C&D last month) and will be fine on good to soft (more to prove should it get slower); respected under a 5lb penalty. |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |

C&D winner and beaten only a neck by Gazelle d'Or in this last year; returns off a 9lb higher mark, but better than ever this year and his latest run at Cork (Listed) can be forgiven. |
16/1 |
|
8th 1 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Better than ever on turf this year, notably over C&D when winning Listed (beating Likedbymike) in June and good third under top-weight in handicap following month; ground on the quick side when unable to mount a challenge in Shergar Cup Dash at Ascot earlier this month but back to favoured C&D and on easier ground seems sure to make a bold bid. |
11/2 |

6th 1 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Ended 2025 with a win in a handicap in Bahrain (5f, good); he has raised his game on turf this summer, winning a Listed race at Cork (5f, good; cheekpieces first time) in June; the cheekpieces were absent when he was a fine third in a Cork handicap two weeks ago, doing best of the far-side group, and another big run seems likely. |

Beaten just a nose at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March and close fifth of 13 over this C&D (good) last month; might not be far away if he's on a going day but he's been up and down this season and was soundly beaten at Thirsk (5f, good) last time. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Has an excellent record in this race, with a second in 2022 and wins in 2023 and 2024 (all on soft/heavy); only fifth to Lexington Blitz on good 12 months ago but his second (Lexington Blitz third) in the Epsom Dash (good to soft) shows he's still useful, and he can be made to look well treated on that form even from 3lb out of the handicap; any easing of the ground in his favour. |
9/1 |
|
7th 9 (1) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Won this race in 2024 when rated 8lb higher; well handicapped on even this year's best, 3lb lower than when second in the Dash at Epsom (5f, good to soft); stall 1 not ideal for one that comes from off the pace and he will need luck in running; big chance if the gaps appear though. |
5/1 |

6th 10 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
All ten wins at 5f; last scored just over a year ago on good to firm but he's got plenty of form on a softer surface and ran well when runner-up in Epsom's "Dash" in June; also performed with credit at Glorious Goodwood and could be the type to bounce back from a lesser effort at Pontefract a fortnight ago; having just his second outing here since winning a C&D novice back in 2021. |

17th 13 (14) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Veteran; has 18 wins to his credit, five over this C&D; not at his best since Beverley win in May (5f, good to soft) but now 8lb lower; 5f on soft ground is ideal, well drawn and one to consider. |

C&D winner; can lead, as when winning at Hamilton in May; some good efforts in competitive sprints since, including when fourth of 24 in the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last month; the return to 5f will suit and he's a likely player at this level. |

Hard to predict and he's finished down the field the last two starts, but it is only four runs since he made all at Ayr (5f); 36 of his 40 starts have been on turf but he has finished runner-up over C&D; comes with risks but a player on a going day. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
A winner first time out three times in previous seasons but he's getting on now and has been absent for a year; has a bit to overcome then, especially as he looked on the downgrade last season and has only run twice on the AW. |
25/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Capable 5f performer on his day but has not made the frame in six runs this year; a slow start meant he couldn't adopt his usual front-running tactics at York five weeks ago, and his mark is tumbling, but he's risky. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
4lb higher than for his win in this race 12 months ago, after which he went on to score at Glorious Goodwood; fine return to action (after wind surgery) at Thirsk in May but no progress in two subsequent runs; Warren Fentiman back on board now dropping in class; high on the list. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won big-field 5f handicaps at York and Goodwood last July; two solid efforts in defeat this season and he won on his only visit to Epsom, albeit over 7f; not impossibly treated but he wouldn't want the ground to be any slower than good. |
16/1 |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won big-field handicaps over C&D (good to firm) and at Goodwood (5f, good) last July, and this 9yo returned from wind surgery with a back-to-form, neck second at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; Harry Vigors removes a valuable 7lb and this prominent-racer could be bang there once more. |
