8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Broadly progressive form switched to handicaps this term features a win at Carlisle; far from disgraced when one of several late closers behind the well-supported winner in big field at Glorious Goodwood (kept to 1m) most recently; shortlisted. |

8th 8 (19) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
He's got better with each of this year's three runs and he got back on the scoresheet when making all with something to spare at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) last month; 6lb higher in a tougher race today but this progressive colt could make another bold bid. |
7/1 |
|
1st 2 (9) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won a tidy six-runner Epsom novice (7f) in September and he built on an encouraging comeback/handicap debut third (also good to soft) last month when going very close at Chester (7.5f, soft) 12 days ago; quicker ground raises a question but he's going the right way and must be factored in. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Made it three wins from his last four starts when returning to winning ways at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; had just a nose to spare and is 6lb higher today, but all of his wins have been narrow ones and he keeps defying the handicapper; has run well on good to soft (unraced on softer). |
16/1 |

1st 6 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won handicaps in May on the other course here and at Carlisle (both 1m on good to firm) but the rise in the weights and grade proved a step too far behind Moonfall in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; another tall order here. |
10/1 |
|
14th 21 (21) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Reliable and progressive, but he's 6lb higher than when narrowly winning a Class 4 handicap at Carlisle 19 days ago and now 9lb higher than when his season began; he may have revealed his hand. |

3rd 2 (1) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Had to work hard in order to make it eighth-time lucky in a three-runner contest at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) this month; up 3lb but still shortlisted if the headgear continues to work. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-7 but he went close in a five-runner field at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in June on his second handicap start and ran respectably when fifth of 15 at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last time, albeit soundly beaten; this is less competitive and he could be involved in first-time blinkers. |
5/2 |
|
5th 11 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Two seconds and two thirds from his six starts; upped to 1m2f then 11.4f in handicaps for his two starts this season, best form in a never-nearer second of five last time; back up 2lb but could have more to give at this trip. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Big improver this summer, winning 1m handicaps at Bath and Lingfield before completing his hat-trick over C&D; not so good at Sandown last month and today's ground will be slower than he has been tackling. |
6/1 |
|
5th 9 (10) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Bath (1m, good) in May on third start for new yard and completed the hat-trick at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; had just a neck to spare last time but he's just 3lb higher today and there can be optimism that this smooth-travelling 3yo still has more left in the tank. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive for new stable this season and bids to complete a hat-trick after 1m wins at Bath (good) and Lingfield (AW); his tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but he could plausibly have more improvement to come over this new trip; obvious contender. |

14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
This is just her fifth start but she was always behind on her C&D handicap debut when last seen; makes little appeal in first-time headgear. |
25/1 |
|
7th 8 (7) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Has offered little in her three runs to date, last of eight in 6f Kempton novice in November; needs this switch to handicaps to spark major improvement. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Still unexposed after only five starts but raced too freely and was soundly beaten on handicap debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in February; returns from five-month break. |
16/1 |
|
9th 9 (6) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Her half-sister Thursday won twice for this yard; back from a break and showed more in a first-time hood (retained) at Lingfield last time (sent off 200-1); this modest handicap looks much more suitable. |
11/2 |
|
5th 7 (6) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Poor form in three runs (6f-7f) last August/September; hooded for her return; no appeal. |
