1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Made all up the stands' rail when springing a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2024; added another major handicap when dominating last year's Wokingham; failed to beat a rival in his next three starts though (including in this race) and he has been absent for 314 days; his draw gives him the chance to repeat the heroics of 2024 but this looks a tough assignment on his return. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Over two years since he last ran on the AW but that made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton; won last year's Stewards' Cup and this year's Wokingham, so clearly a tip-top handicapper when on his game; found the ground too slow in last month's big handicap at Goodwood but his run back there last time is not so easily forgiven. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Had an excuse (ground not fast enough) last time when failing by a long way to complete Stewards' Cup double; made all at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in his other two British runs this term, including the Wokingham; very useful handicapper when conditions are ideal. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

All turf races on good or quicker ground; best form when narrow winner of a C&D Listed race in July but his sights are raised much higher today in this, his first Group race. |
25/1 |

1st 5 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Built on an eye-catching reappearance (over this C&D) when justifying strong support in handicap at Windsor (5f, good) in May; only fourth to Washington Heights in Listed event at Carlisle next time but has had a break since and may well bounce back; has real possibilities if he does. |

Classy sprinter who built on an eye-catching reappearance when justifying strong support in handicap at Windsor (5f, good) 12 days ago; found only one too good in French Listed event last summer and looks a strong contender back in this grade. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Had some strong form as a 3yo, including at York, and he returned to action in March with a good third at Southwell (5f, AW); two heavy defeats have followed (had a wind op after the first) and he arrives with a point to prove. |
40/1 |
|
21th 4 (1) |
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. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Royal Ascot handicap winner last year (5f, good to firm) and later went close in this race when 3lb higher; yet to get competitive this term but could have needed the comeback run, there were blindfold issues next time and she ran well for a long way at Ascot 17 days ago before eased considerably late on; drawn next to the stands' rail and a revival is not out of the question with form figures of 132 under the returning Oisin Murphy; tongue tied last two races. |
8/1 |

11th 6 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Saw off 23 rivals when winning last season's Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes at the Royal meeting (C&D; good to firm); better form when pipped at Goodwood last July; this season yet to take off but she may have needed her return and then there were blindfold issues at Redcar three weeks ago; Colin Keane booked and a revival isn't out of the question but her low draw may be an issue. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
All ten wins at 5f; last scored just over a year ago on good to firm but he's got plenty of form on a softer surface and ran well when runner-up in Epsom's "Dash" in June; also performed with credit at Glorious Goodwood and could be the type to bounce back from a lesser effort at Pontefract a fortnight ago; having just his second outing here since winning a C&D novice back in 2021. |
5/1 |

6th 6 (8) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Twice went close in June (5f, good to soft) and he ran well once more when close seventh of 23 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last time; could be in the shake-up. |
7/1 |
|
7th 21 (9) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Two no-shows at Goodwood were at this meeting in 2023, including this race; however, provided the track doesn't pose any problems, he could be interesting after strong finishes in the Dash at Epsom and last time at Chester where a slow start was the last thing he needed; he should be coming home to some effect. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won a 5f handicap at last season's Dante meeting here and confirmed the track suited him well when collared late by Trefor in this race 12 months ago; 3lb lower this time around and he has done enough in 2026 to think he retains all his ability; trainer is making a name for himself in the big sprint handicaps and it's likely this has been the main aim all summer; big chance if getting it right at the start. |
5/1 |
|
13th 11 (3) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Back from a break and wind surgery when impressive in a big field at York in May 2024 (5f, good to firm; 7lb lower); however, failed to fire at Meydan this year and was again down the field at Newcastle a month ago; cheekpieces replace a hood. |
14/1 |
|
11th 7 (13) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Looked a smart prospect last season, beating his 21 rivals at York's Dante meeting and second of 20 at the Ebor meeting; not at his best in three runs in Dubai but this mark should be in range and he has won on Tapeta and after a break; goes without accessories (usually hooded) today; interesting for a yard in form. |

With this visor back on he won at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last month, landing that handicap for the third year in succession; not beaten far when fifth of 13 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) since but he's never won off a mark this high and there's a suspicion he'll again be vulnerable. |

5th 7 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

His two Ascot defeats came at the Royal meeting when a big outsider; arrives on the back of an easy win at Newmarket (5f, good to firm; visor reinstated) but a 6lb rise for that could leave him vulnerable. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Did well as a 3yo, including over C&D, but she hasn't added to her tally in six runs this year; recent third at Epsom (6f, good to firm) on her stable debut was a good run and she's a key player back down in trip. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 (2) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |

Developed into useful 5f performer for Newland-Insole stable last year but is yet to hit top gear after five runs this season; makes stable debut debut from a tempting mark and should be okay back at 6f but needs to have been reinvigorated by her new regime; cheekpieces removed after one use. |
7/1 |

8th 3 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |

Just a respectable sixth when well drawn over C&D last month and again a beaten favourite when fourth of seven at Nottingham (5f, good) a fortnight ago; well suited by ground slower than good but probably needs some help from the new cheekpieces. |

9st 7lb |
Found a Group 3 too much at York last month but she was a very close third when back in a handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) a fortnight ago; she was denied a clear run last time and this progressive 4yo could be firmly in the mix up 2lb. |

Largely progressive form; ran a cracker on what was effectively her seasonal return (unseated her rider soon after start on reappearance) when fourth of 15 in 5f Ayr Listed race (soft) in June; travelled strongly close to the pace in 6f York Group 3 (good to firm) since and the return to 5f could suit back in handicap company; part of a strong hand for Ed Bethell. |

Likeable mare with a good strike-rate; ran at least as well as could have been expected when midfield in Group 1 at Royal Ascot (125-1) last time, but she was only fifth to Washington Heights in Listed event the time before; may again be up against it. |
