11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Solid performer who completed a hat-trick during his 2yo campaign and has strong placed form this season, the last two times behind Venetian Sun; switched and finished well for a close third in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot latest; has broadly progressive RPRs in tandem with a gradual rise in class; knocking on the door at Group level. |

3rd 6 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Listed winner at York (6f, good) last October and reappeared with close third behind Coppull and Midnight Tango in the Group 3 Trial over this C&D (good to firm), finishing strongly after blowing the start; failed to settle and perhaps not seen to best effect when 3l second to Venetian Sun in Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last time; could go well. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced gelding who had no trouble with this trip on his second run back from wind surgery at Kempton three weeks ago (behind Alkumatic Jo Jo; Roi De Coeur some way back in fifth); this mark seems within range. |
4/1 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Twice runner-up as 2yo (6f); made some return to form after wind surgery when beaten 3l at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) where he got behind before running on; this extra furlong could benefit. |
11/2 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made low-key seasonal/handicap debut when 13th of 19 at Ascot (6f, good) in May but had wind surgery during subsequent 12-week break and is dropped in grade for this AW debut; moves up in trip; could still have significant potential. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Twice-raced gelding who was placed at Yarmouth (6f) last time and could take another step forward; tongue-tie now applied; sole runner on the card for his Newmarket stable and looks interesting at this level. |
5/2 |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Stablemate of leading contender Division; recorded a meagre RPR with midfield finish at Windsor (6f, good) but looked green and may improve with the experience under his belt. |
10/1 |

6th 7 (12) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

38,000euros foal, 42,000gns yearling, 75,000gns (breeze-up) 2yo; Blue Point half-brother to Italian 9.5f winner Flamenco Bay, out of 5f AW 2yo scorer (84); major stable; heed the market signals. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All or nothing of late and did too much too soon at Wolverhampton 26 days ago; rather watch in this company; course debut. |
16/1 |

7th 9 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Did well to defy a high draw here two weeks ago, winning well; that took his form figures over C&D to 211; raised 7lb but this 3yo could deal with that. |
4/1 |
|
1st 6 (12) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has been kept busy and scored for the second time this year when successful over C&D last month off 6lb lower; not disgraced in better company at Epsom eight days ago but may need to come back down the weights. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Showed some promise for Andrew Balding last year but he has beaten just one rival home in three starts for new connections (including after a wind op before the latest); drops back to 6f with a point to prove. |
10/1 |
|
14th 13 (14) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has weak claims on her AW efforts for new yard and chance partly depends on the effects of a physical tweak (wind surgery since last run). |
25/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Out of the frame in three starts over 6f/7f for Andrew Balding last year and he was last of six at here over 8.5f on his handicap/stable debut 37 days ago; drops back in trip with a tongue-tie applied; better needed. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Couldn't reward market support on his handicap debut at Lingfield (7f) in March but he got the job done dropped to 6f at Southwell (Tapeta) one month later; only midfield at Wolverhampton last month but things didn't go to plan that day and he remains unexposed at this trip. |
11/2 |
|
6th 10 (10) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Showed improved form when getting off the mark at Southwell (6f, AW) in April; never figured when fifth of nine at Leicester (6f, good) last month; not one to give up on. |
11/2 |
|
5th 9 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Ran below market expectations on his handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) in March but posted an improved effort when winning over 6f at Southwell (AW) 44 days ago; needs to transfer that form to turf but this well-related gelding could have more to offer. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won 6f maiden on Newcastle AW as 2yo for previous yard but has found it a mighty struggle since, without and with headgear (first-time visor today); has much to prove over this stiff test and needs more weight off back. |
25/1 |
|
11th 1 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Newcastle maiden (6f, Tapeta) for George Boughey last October, but he's struggled in four runs for new yard this year; continues to drop down the weights but he needs a major revival back on AW; blinkers removed. |
33/1 |
|
10th 3 (3) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Not solid on his 7f form this term for new yard but may prove resurgent back at 6f in first-time blinkers; gained his 2yo win over this trip. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Record of 1-14, but his win was at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month and he went close on his return visit last week; looks interesting off same mark here and his last AW run was a good second over C&D in April. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Appreciated the step back up from 6f when finally off the mark over C&D earlier this month; showed the right attitude that day for Mikkel Mortensen and it will only have boosted confidence; one to consider upped a fair 2lb. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Regressive gelding who's had plenty of chances, in two forms of headgear; the handicapper's been quick to ease off and the step back up from 6f should help but his best efforts have come on the AW. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Fair maiden who went too freely tried in cheekpieces when last of ten in 7f Lingfield handicap 11 days ago; could bounce back now the headgear is dispensed with. |
8/1 |
|
10th 9 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
No improvement for handicapping yet but she has finished third in three of her last four starts; cheekpieces now added but when tried in blinkers she pulled hard and was well beaten. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Placed over 7f-1m at Southwell in two of her five starts; reportedly ran too freely in newly applied blinkers (discarded now) at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; it's back to basics now. |
