10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won a 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday off this mark; another solid effort when a close sixth at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; more needed to come out on top here. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Two-time turf winner who scored at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April and is just 1lb higher here; however, he's finished unplaced on turf on his last three starts and needs to raise his game. |

Narrow winner of a competitive 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday; two midfield finishes this month and he will need a career best to come out on top in this field. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Finished a close fourth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster in March when rated 6lb higher (1m, good to soft); short of that level in three runs since, including when sent off favourite at Sandown last month (7f, soft; after three months off); drops in class with a hood tried but he comes with risk attached. |

Hasn't kicked on as might have been expected from promising fourth of 21 in Spring Mile at Doncaster (good to soft) in March in two subsequent outings; still has time on his side though and he brings a different profile to most; needs to settle better but quite interesting. |

Back in form and threatening to regain the winning thread, having finished a creditable second in last two starts, latest at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Oaks day; back up another 2lb but can't be ruled out. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Acts on soft going; picked up a maiden here (7f, good) in July 2024 on his debut; fair run of form last year came to a crashing halt when virtually tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and he was back to near his best when second of 13 at Thirsk (1m, good) last time; far from dismissed. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins last season (1m/7f, AW/good) and he added another on last month's reappearance at Haydock (7f, good); his best form has come on good ground but he's shown promise on a slow surface and this progressive 5yo could still have more to offer; respected. |
9/2 |

1st 1 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins for Ed Walker last season and positives can be drawn from the fact that one was on his seasonal return and the other was over C&D (good ground); returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark and a promising claimer is booked; contender. |
7/2 |

5th 7 (8) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Successful on soft ground in Ireland; has notched two handicap wins since joining Ed Walker (including under today's rider Oisin Murphy) but he needs to bounce back from a below-par run at Goodwood last time; same trainer/jockey won this last year. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Drew a blank during regressive 2025 campaign and down the field on reappearance at Chepstow three weeks ago; however, he left last season's comeback run well behind to post 33-1 third on his next start, and he's not discounted off a reduced mark. |

8th 3 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Went winless in 2025 but he posted some good placed efforts, signing off with a solid third in 1m Leicester handicap in October; not out of it if fully tuned up for his seasonal return so worth a market check. |
7/1 |

2 (6) |

9st 9lb |
Won twice as a 3yo, including a handicap at Goodwood (1m, good) last May; placed on his first two starts this year (1m/1m2f) but below his best when held in fourth at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) 46 days ago; drops back in trip with blinkers now tried. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins over shorter as a 3yo; improved when second at Kempton on his seasonal return last month (1m) and when third at Nottingham 17 days ago he found himself poorly positioned; well worth another crack at this trip and he should make a bold bid. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to win a handicap but not for a lack of effort and he ran well for second over C&D last month; perhaps stretched by 1m2f at Lingfield last month and he is one to take seriously back down in trip. |
3/1 |
|
11th 8 (4) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came in a Lingfield maiden (6f, AW) a year ago, but is back off the same mark as when beaten half a length over C&D (good to firm) in May; soft ground not a problem and each-way claims if reproducing that form. |
12/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

6f AW maiden winner who seems to stay this trip; not at best on last three starts (hung left returned to AW last time) and will have to fare better if he's to win this. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

All runs at 1m; tad disappointing in handicaps so far but again gave the impression he'd be worth a crack at 7f last time; could easily confirm earlier promise this evening. |
9/1 |

6 (6) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Began career with two seconds and a win; less successful in handicaps but he wasn't disgraced when sixth in a warm race at Southwell in July; withdrawn after breaking out of the stalls at Chelmsford in August; carries risks (well held here on only turf start) but he's well bred and lightly raced so there may be better to come from him yet. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |

Often leads; won this race (soft) off this mark last year but his form has dipped noticeably since two creditable thirds in June; last time's Racing League appearance can be forgiven, however, and he's not totally dismissed back here. |

17th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Both starts over 6f at Goodwood last year, stepping up from her debut in May when successful there the following month (race has produced winners); year absence since then is a concern, but she is a half-sister to an AW winner and she should appreciate the longer trip on breeding; respected, especially if market positive. |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Successful on 2yo debut; has failed to repeat that form since, well held over C&D most recently; chance depends on how well he responds to new headgear. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won on 2yo debut at Haydock (1m, soft) last September; the return to slow ground may be a positive but he's gone backwards from that initial promise and was soundly beaten at Haydock (1m, good) only 12 days ago. |
9/1 |

11 (11) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Overcame greenness to win on C&D debut (soft) last September; has failed to back up that form in four subsequent outings (mainly AW) and needs a first-time visor and return to Haydock to spark a revival back from eight weeks off. |
20/1 |
Verdict
The suggestion is ATA RANGI who may have more to offer for his current stable. Interesting handicap debutante Alerta Maxima is second choice, ahead of Hot Cash who is still unexposed on forecast slow ground. Several others have clear possibilities.[Steve Boow]
