13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Acts on good to soft and softer but his best form is at 5f and latest last of six at Haydock needs forgiving; cheekpieces go on after that; nothing wrong with this mark if they do have a positive effect, however. |
10/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last summer (5f, good/good to firm) and didn't see out 6f when third of six on recent reappearance at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); has run well on slow ground in the past and he's a key player back down to 5f. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five wins and a second from nine attempts over C&D; ended 2025 in flying form and returned off a brutal mark as a consequence; handicapper relenting now and her third at Nottingham 13 days ago was a step back in the right direction; this should be run to suit and she's a strong contender. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Eight-time turf winner including on fast and soft ground; ended last season with a good fourth in a Listed race at Ascot (5f) but she's been out of sorts in her four runs this year; on dangerous mark but she needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; ten-time winner but her last four turf wins have been at Beverley and she's been out of sorts in three runs this year; has something to prove and she needs a big turnaround. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive last year and reappeared with a win on stable debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) in May; respectable fourth at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) since and this 4yo may yet have more to offer; ran well in 2024 on sole previous encounter with Tapeta. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 (11) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Reappeared after 208 days off with a win on his stable debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last month; up 4lb but he held off an odds-on rival last time and hit a personal best with that success; should be in the thick of things again and he won't mind what the weather does. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer who won at Redcar (5f, good to firm) and Goodwood (5f, heavy) last summer, but he was around 5l behind Kinswoman at Haydock (5f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in October on final start for Alice Haynes; watch the betting on debut for new trainer. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Returned to form when making all in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) in a selling handicap over C&D (good to firm) last month; lost a shoe when down the field at Ayr (5f, good to firm) on Monday but this is a hotter race than the one he won here two starts ago and others are more compelling. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Back to form in first-time cheekpieces when winning a selling handicap at Hamilton last time (5f, good to firm); only 2lb higher so not out of it with headgear on again. |
11/2 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time turf winner (one over C&D) who is 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (5f, AW) last December; however, he's struggled since April and a major turnaround is needed in first-time cheekpieces. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win on turf, but is now 1lb lower than when winning at Newcastle in February (5f); could go well, although was beaten 10l here last time (6f, soft). |
10/1 |
|
12th 11 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A contender on his AW form this year but latest fourth to Parisiac at Hamilton (5f, good) doesn't suggest he is the answer this time. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Three of his last four wins have come at Goodwood (6f; heavy and good ground); probably not too track dependent as he won at Newbury in May but he has more to find on his first run at Ascot, off another career-high mark in a daunting race. |
16/1 |
|
1st 6 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Justified favouritism (6f, good) on seasonal debut, taking Goodwood record to 3-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-12; a possible danger provided his progress can be sustained away from that track. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
A three-time winner for James Owen in 2025, signing off with a second C&D success in October; has a career-high mark to overcome on his seasonal return but not taken at all lightly. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
12-time winner, latest on AW in March (6f); fair running-on third over 5f here last time (good; Woohoo, who runs in the 2.30, was second); contender back up in trip. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner; returned from a break with a solid fifth in 5f Hamilton handicap last month; this reliable sort is a player off a 2lb lower mark here with Eireann Cagney up. |
