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. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
A superstar down the years and he's quite well treated again now but all his handicap wins at 7f and 1m have been on downhill tracks on good to soft or slower ground; better days ahead once the rains come. |
16/1 |
|
11th 2 (13) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Down the field in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) last month but promising reappearance there (7f, good) previously; won this race in 2021 (good to soft) and 2024 (good to soft) and was third last year (good to soft); this week's rain has been in his favour and he's on a dangerous mark. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
He hasn't won since a Listed success at York (6f, soft) in October 2023; in the meantime he has often attracted support, favourite in the 2024 Stewards' Cup and last season's Ayr Gold Cup; two perfectly creditable efforts for Robert Cowell this year and he showed promise in one Tapeta run last spring; not discounted for a trainer who runs four. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Made late headway from the rear over 5f at Pontefract on stable/seasonal debut; interesting back up in trip, despite still being on a long losing spell; remains attractively treated on plenty of form. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (8) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Capable of useful form for Andrew Balding; close fourth when favourite for last year's Ayr Gold Cup; hasn't won since 2023 but looks interesting off current mark in this field on debut for new yard; remains with same owner; drops back to 5f for first time since good second (joint-best effort) in Sandown Group 3 in July 2024. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Ran well, only a neck behind Elarak, in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot to maintain his solid record in headgear; good second in the Victoria Cup the time before; threatening to win a big prize; shortlisted. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 9 (23) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Versatile as regards ground; has a good record in blinkers and ran well switched to a visor (retained today) last time, finishing only 1l behind The Wizard Of Eye in the Victoria Cup and taking form figures over C&D to 242; solid contender who again has frame possibilities. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 9 (12) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time winner, including in first-time blinkers at Glorious Goodwood; close third at Haydock (7f) with reappearance under his belt, paving the way nicely for a crack at this prize; has made the frame in both C&D attempts; possibilities in new headgear (visor). |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Comfortable winner of a C&D handicap (good to firm) last August; better than ever when a close fourth in a Listed event at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March but he's been well held in both subsequent runs and latest was in a C&D; has bit to prove again and this looks a tough task on the figures. |
14/1 |
|
10th 1 (5) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Ready winner of a C&D handicap last summer off a 12lb lower mark; better than ever when a close fourth in a Wolverhampton Listed race in March and he faced a stiff task at Haydock three weeks ago; should give his running but could find one or two stronger back in handicap company. |
6/1 |
|
4th 8 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
5-19; creditable fourth in Listed races last two starts, not beaten far at Wolverhampton (7f) on latest; should give his running again but quite a few of these have more obvious claims on the figures. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
His losing sequence goes back 22 races to February 2024; however, he's often run well in the interim and he's been given a bit of help from the handicapper ahead of this reappearance; can be in the mix if fully tuned up. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 (9) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
5yo whose 31 starts have been at 5f-7f and his losing spell goes back to February 2024; however, he's run many big races in the interim, most recently at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in August when finishing strongly for a share of third, and on that evidence this first crack at 1m is well worth a go. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Best form this season when placed twice at Haydock, including latest start; still on a workable mark but continues on a long losing sequence, which makes him a similar type to Billyjoh. |
16/1 |
|
3 (2) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Record over C&D includes a success in May 2023 and solid second on reappearance this term; disappointing favourite here on penultimate start and losing run is mounting up; best form certainly gives him a good chance off current mark back down in grade. |
7/1 |
|
11 (1) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Disappointing favourite at Haydock last Saturday, extending his long losing sequence; beaten twice in this contest (seventh in 2023, well held in 2024) and can be opposed. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
The winner of three of his seven starts; sent off the red-hot favourite for Ascot's Victoria Cup last month but he failed to fire, finishing 22nd of the 28 runners; gelded soon after and he remains capable of better. |
5/2 |
|
32 (9) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb
|
Reserve; hindered by traffic issues in his final start of an otherwise progressive 2025 season that featured a Glorious Goodwood win (7f, good to soft); disappointing favourite in the Victoria Cup over C&D on reappearance but has possibilities if a physical tweak (gelded since) works a treat. |
9/1 |
|
22th 16 (19) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Well-bred colt whose record of 3-6 overall and 2-3 in handicaps (7f) features a narrow win at Glorious Goodwood; hindered by traffic issues at same venue when last seen (effort best forgiven); cheekpieces worn that day are retained; beat Defence Minister by half a length at Sandown last July; still open to further progress and remains of strong interest. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has won over 1m but raced mainly at 7f; not solid on 2026 form and he came up short when a 50-1 shot in big field at York most recently; opposed in another competitive race, back up in trip. |
25/1 |
|
11th 4 (2) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

He won two 7f handicaps last season and took a step back in the right direction with close sixth of 12 at Haydock in April; however, well beaten at Newmarket since and others arrive with less to prove. |

9st 3lb |
Reliable sort, this year over 7.5f/1m since being gelded; second on Newcastle AW with tongue-tie fitted last time; has gained both wins over a bare 7f; strong claims back down in distance. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won a Newbury handicap (7f, good) last April and he's reached the frame in his last five starts including when fourth of 24 in the Spring Cup (1m, good) on his penultimate run; looks interesting off same mark here and he ran well on his only previous attempt on AW; tongue-tie added. |
9/4 |
|
31 (21) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Reserve; dual 7f winner who has a solid record and may rate higher still; ran well at Newbury (1m) on reappearance then raced further away from the near rail than ideal when beaten favourite, albeit not disgraced, at Lingfield (7.5f); tongue-tie is now applied; remains of interest. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Heavy-ground winner of a Glorious Goodwood handicap (1m) last July and he had dipped below that winning mark when scoring at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last time; 2lb nudge shouldn't stop him being competitive. |
11/1 |

1st 1 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; won off 1lb higher at Goodwood (1m) last July but has mixed record since and was beaten 11l in the Spring Mile on his reappearance in March; this is a big drop back in grade but he's now 1-11 in handicaps and others are more convincing. |
12/1 |
|
11th 4 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Not disgraced (fifth of 14) in sole Doncaster attempt and current mark is workable; however, may be more interesting when back at Goodwood with this reappearance under his belt, having gained both wins there. |

Shaped okay at Lingfield in January; down the field at Leicester last month but he was harried up front and weakened in the final furlong; dropped 2lb and this easier track will help; one to consider. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Ran creditably at Lingfield in January when bidding for a 6f AW double; 8lb higher than when second at Newmarket (7f) on last turf attempt but he's proved consistent since being gelded and his first two handicap wins were on good to firm; in the mix. |
