14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Third of 22 in 3yo handicap over C&D (good to firm) at this meeting 12 months ago and progressive on AW since; soft ground may not have suited at Musselburgh last time and he's had wind surgery since; however, a career best is needed today and he has to prove he's just as good on turf as AW. |
16/1 |
|
11th 2 (1) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive and posted another personal best when third at Southwell (5f, AW) on reappearance; his turf form is at a lower level but he still won at Thirsk last spring and finished third in a big field at York's Dante meeting (both 5f, good to firm); race-fit and should be in the thick of things again if a low draw doesn't count against him. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer; thumped ten rivals in a C&D handicap last July and ran well off his revised mark (1lb lower today) back here in September; found the Group 1 Abbaye too hot to handle when last seen in October; won after a break last spring but he was well ahead of his mark then and that probably isn't the case now. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Prominent racer; two good runs back from her eight-month absence, headed close home at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; that form is working out well and he has earned the 2lb rise; bold bid can be expected. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Ran just twice last year and soundly beaten each time but he's well handicapped on his 2024 form and he reappeared last month with a close third at Thirsk (5f, good to firm); strong claims if backing that up. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer; well handicapped on his 2024 form but he was only seen twice last year and finished down the field on both occasions; enough to prove back from a break. |

21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
High-class sprinter on turf and AW; his two C&D wins have both been mighty performances and there is no doubt he has the raw ability to give the weight away to today's opponents; sadly he has become a nightmare at the start, refusing to race in three of his last five runs; can't be supported with confidence; stable run four here. |
16/1 |
|
1 (7) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
High-class sprinter on his day and he has tasted defeat in just one of his four runs on AW; fine effort to beat Marshman in a Listed race here in February and third in a Newmarket Group 3 next time; no doubt he has the ability to win a race of this nature but he is increasingly troublesome at the start and he has refused to race twice this summer; capable but too much risk attached to recommend. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
The winner of 14 of his 48 starts, including two 5f handicaps this season; dropped away when seventh to King Of Light over 6f at Windsor 12 days ago; others look better handicapped. |
16/1 |
|
7th 5 (7) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Course specialist; in prime form, having won at Bath before suffering a luckless run on this track, then a convincing winner here (also 5f, good to soft; acts well on good to firm) since; that trip seems to suit best though and he has more to prove off 6lb higher in a better race. |
100/30 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Useful strike-rate and 4-6 over 5f for Oisin Murphy; can lead; versatile regarding tracks but he won his first two C&D starts (including this race when 3lb higher) and gave the principals too much rope back here in May, albeit he still found only an improved one too good; best form on good or quicker ground and rarely asked to tackle slower surfaces. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
He's just 1-25 on turf but was runner-up over C&D (good to firm) last month and wasn't beaten far in a competitive Class 2 at favourite course Newcastle (5f, AW) last Friday; could be in the mix. |
7/2 |
|
7th 14 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won this race 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark and recorded his seventh C&D win when scoring in December; solid second on turf three weeks ago; should run his race. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won six 5f handicaps on AW at Newcastle in 2025; now back on last winning mark but he's 1-24 on turf and that success was in a novice over four years ago; looks opposable back in this sphere after a short break. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
First run for Michael Keady when winning this race 12 months ago off a 3lb higher mark; two good runs on fast ground this year (below par on slower going in the Epsom Dash) and he's likely to make another bold bid. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Blows hot and cold but he is on a dangerous mark and his second of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in May was a fine effort; subsequent run in the Dash at Epsom can be forgiven (ground) and this should be more to his liking; other pace influences on show. |
7/1 |
|
14th 16 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Appreciated the return to turf when finishing second of 17 at Ascot five weeks ago; 1lb rise still leaves him on a feasible mark; rarely seen on slower than good. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran; goes well on soft ground and ran a fine race when second to Trilby (2lb worse off for 0.5l) at Haydock last time (5f, soft; tongue-tie tried); tongue-tie retained and sound each-way chance. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

His mark continues to fall but for good reason and this 9yo arrives with plenty to prove; wears a first-time tongue-tie; visor is removed. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Four wins last season, including competitive C&D handicap off the same mark as today; in and out this season but he gave it a good go from the front when close sixth of 14 at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last week, and this less demanding track should play to his strengths; respected. |
11/2 |
|
6th 13 (11) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Made giant strides in 2025, winning four times including a big-field 5f Class 2 handicap at Southwell; only 1lb higher today but his 2026 campaign has been up and down and others are more appealing for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
10th 1 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Did well last term, winning four times; went close at Beverley on penultimate start and paid for racing freely in cheekpieces a few days later; runs without the headgear this time and could go well. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Chelmsford winner off 5lb higher this time last year; boasts a fair record overall at this trip on the AW and a return to form wouldn't surprise; may well be dropped in and ridden for luck from stall 9. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Beneath his last winning mark (5f AW) and his second run back from a break was more encouraging, as although only eighth at Kempton he wasn't beaten too far (6f) from an unpromising position; capable of racing prominently, which would be helpful from stall 1, and could be interesting; soft ground would be a concern. |
6/1 |
|
8th 6 (12) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Scored off this mark at Chelmsford (5f) last July; should be sharper following a run at Newmarket last month and steps back up to 6f; not out of this. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

C&D winner; won two handicaps last season and he is 10lb lower than for the last of them; not beaten far at Nottingham eight days ago and he's likely to pop up soon. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Multiple winner, the latest last July when 10lb higher; a market check is advised but this 8yo has been well beaten on his last three starts and needs to turn things around. |
14/1 |
|
6th 10 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Multiple winner, including this race on good to firm off 7lb higher in 2024 (sixth last year); quiet in three runs this season but worth a look in the betting given his previous in this contest. |

3rd 18 (3) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |

Usually slowly away but his refusal to race at Newcastle in January was a first; won't mind getting back on the grass and he is proven in big-field handicaps; could go well at a price. |

7th 2 (1) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Drew a blank in 2025 but there were some good runs in defeat and he starts this season off an 8lb lower mark than for last year's reappearance; solid third in one run at Yarmouth; best on good ground or faster; makes his seasonal return with a hood back on and with his stable in good form. |
4/1 |

4 (3) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All his wins have come at Doncaster but he's fully effective elsewhere and is still unexposed on AW; plenty of solid efforts over 5f this season but losing run is mounting up and he's struggled in four previous runs at this trip; down the list. |
10/1 |
|
13 (8) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |

All his wins have come at Doncaster but he is fully effective elsewhere, including on AW as evidenced by his close third in this race last year when rated 3lb higher; retains plenty of ability and more minor money not out of the question. |

Finally ended a 49-race losing run at Southwell (5f, AW) in January; now 2lb lower than for that success and this company is much easier than that he normally keeps, but his record of 1-47 on turf still makes him hard to warm to. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and posted a respectable effort at Newmarket (5f, good) last month; however, he was down the field at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago and is now just 1-46 on turf; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
14th 15 (16) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and he is just 1lb higher today; solid effort at Newmarket 17 days ago when not ideally positioned; each-way claims at a track where he has run well in much better races than this one. |
