21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
2yo Listed winner in France (1m, very soft) and, having been gelded, he was back on song at Ripon (1m, good to firm) last month when first past the post (demoted to third due to interference); slow ground would hold no fears but it was a small field last time and this race is much hotter. |

3rd 1 (5) |
27th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
French Listed win on very soft ground last autumn has left him difficult to place this season; pulling hard all three starts hasn't helped and he comes right back down in trip having been gelded since last seen a couple of months ago; has it to prove. |
8/1 |

Did too much up front over 1m1f on penultimate start but never landed a blow when ridden with restraint in first-time hood (retained) over 7.5f latest; progress has stopped since French Listed win and he still has something to prove beyond 1m. |

Reappeared with a convincing C&D win (good ground) but hasn't built on that at all; gelded before finishing down the field at Ascot three weeks ago and now cheekpieces are fitted; needs to get back on track. |
9/1 |

14th 7 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Reappeared with a convincing handicap win at Newbury (7f, good) in April; underwhelming favourite in Listed races at Newmarket and Epsom on next two starts but gelded since and returns to a handicap this afternoon, and he could have a part to play if rediscovering the Newbury form. |
14/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Winning 5f debut; had wind surgery after abortive Royal Ascot run and only just failed to make a successful handicap debut at Newmarket (7f; form worked out) in August; challenge petered out on a quickish return at York (7f) but he still has something to offer at this level now back at 6f. |
7/2 |
|
3 (5) |
21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning debut in spite of the 5f trip here in May; down the field in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, after which he underwent wind surgery; well backed on his recent nursery debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) where he couldn't quite peg back a rival who enjoyed the run of the race; raised 2lb but it's unlikely we have seen the best of him just yet; stable won this race last year. |
10/1 |

260,000euros yearling; won at York (5f, good to firm) where he was niggled at from some way out but came home with purpose; well behind in the Coventry (6f) but has since had wind surgery and retains potential (has a Group 2 entry amongst other high-profile engagements); potentially well in off 85; dam won at 1m. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
It was a small field at Ripon (1m, good to firm) in which he returned to form last time, when battling it out with Command The Stars and Noelan Star, and this is much more competitive; however, his two best RPRs have come at York and he's 4lb lower than when second of 14 here (7f, good) in May; could go well at a big price if conditions suit (unproven on slow ground). |
40/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
27th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Plenty of racing last year and this, and has generally struggled this season; did not appear to see it out in a few runs beyond 7f and Beyond The Bar looks his trainer's best chance. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Struggled in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot but clear promise on his other three starts, most recently fourth of 11 on nursery debut at Goodwood three weeks ago (7f, officially heavy but riding faster); returns to firmer ground but a jolt of improvement is needed to defy the same mark. |
10/1 |
|
2 (11) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Entered in the Gimcrack; soon on the back foot after starting slowly in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot but comfortably made amends when a shade of odds-on at Doncaster (6f, good; raced prominently); drawn widest here but must be held in some regard to have that Group 2 entry; respected. |
6/1 |

Dual 6f winner, latterly a Haydock nursery on good to firm in August; respectable efforts in defeat since, including on good soft, and down to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Haydock. |
13/2 |
|
2 (2) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Off the mark in Hamilton maiden (good; second start) in June and won a Haydock nursery (also 6f; good to firm) in August; first attempt at 7f came in a warm York handicap and looked like that experiment was worth repeating back at 6f last time; respected on AW debut. |

Made it two wins from his five starts when landing Haydock nursery (6f, good to firm) last month; merely mid-division at York since but in a hotter race than this; has shown promise on good to soft; has a chance. |

Won last summer on first two starts (6f, AW) then kept on for third of 18 in nursery at York (7f, good to firm) that worked out nicely; well beaten in Newmarket Group 3 (7f, good) on final 2yo start, which was followed by wind and gelding operations this March; also now has a first-time tongue-tie; needs to resume improvement in a major way. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Her one win from ten starts came in a Lingfield novice as 2yo but she's improving and produced best effort when dividing higher-rated fillies in a Listed race at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month; inevitably has torpedoed her handicap mark as a result, going up 10lb, and needs extra back at this level. |
10/1 |

2nd 9 (4) |

She's raced nine times and produced her best RPR yet when close second in C&D handicap (good to firm) last month, splitting Albaydaa and Applesandpears who were carrying 2lb more; probably vulnerable back up in grade. |

9st 4lb |
Justified support in a Yarmouth maiden (6f, good to firm) last July; hasn't gone on from that in five subsequent runs but he was beaten less than 2l when fifth at Doncaster (7f; blinkers added) last time; that was eye-catching from off the pace and he's not ruled out back up in trip. |
15/2 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Won Yarmouth maiden (6f, good to firm) last July but he's found things tough in four handicaps since; dropped another 3lb but he was beaten 11l at Ascot last month and he needs a transformation back in trip; blinkers added. |

8st 7lb |
Won at Kempton (6f, AW) last month before near-miss at Epsom (6f, good), and back on the scoresheet with ready win here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; under a 3lb penalty this progressive 3yo is 5lb ahead of the handicapper today, and he showed promise over 7f last season; major player. |
13/2 |

1st 12 (9) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Novice and nursery-winning juvenile (6f, good to firm) who often didn't have things go his way subsequently until he won going away at Kempton (6f, AW) last month; wasn't totally handling the track when narrow second at Epsom last Wednesday and he's an obvious contender off this mark (due a 2lb rise). |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (4) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |

Novice and nursery-winning juvenile (6f, good to firm) who often didn't have things go his way subsequently until he won going away at Kempton (6f, AW) three weeks ago; up 6lb but he's shaped like a smart horse waiting to happen on occasions and maybe that was the start of it. |

1st 6 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

2nd 6 (5) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

Won a Newmarket novice (6f, good) last May, his third start, but beaten 11 times since including all four runs for John Butler; his penultimate second at Thirsk was a good run though and when down the field at York last time it was a Class 4; not out of it. |

Back to form from out of the blue in a first-time visor when getting off the mark at the 11th time of asking at Chester (extended 7f, good) five weeks ago; plenty went his way (got a dream run through on the inner after leaders went hard) and wouldn't be an obvious type to follow up. |

0-6 but has run well in all three nurseries, including over C&D and when second to Big Song at Newmarket latest (1m, good; beaten about 3l); he's 4lb better off with Big Song today and could be the better suited of the pair by this return to 7f; blinkers replace cheekpieces; might not be far away. |
