16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has done nothing but progress since the visor went on, winning five of his last eight starts (including C&D) and going up 31lb in the weights; off for eight months since winning at Goodwood in September and will need another career-best off this mark. |
8/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has won four of his last seven starts at 6f, on AW then back on turf at Doncaster (good to firm) in June; up 7lb but it was a solid sixth of 22 at York (good) in July, when he raced away from the main action; drying ground would be a likely positive and he's firmly in the picture. |

Form dipped last time but that was out of character; consistent sort otherwise and ran respectably, when bidding for a Bath hat-trick, the time before; may rebound. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Bidding for a Bath hat-trick when finding one too good three weeks ago and might be vulnerable off the same mark from her wide draw; does go on any ground. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Scored here in (good to soft) in her final 3yo run and she started this campaign with another brave win over C&D (firm) last month; that took her Bath record to 2-2 and she's remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher; key player. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two turf wins, the latest a claimer at Leicester last October on final run for Eve Johnson Houghton; dropping down the weights but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to take advantage. |
11/1 |

5th 2 (10) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made encouraging seasonal/stable debut when fifth of 15 in higher-grade race at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, but two lesser efforts have followed (7f/6f) and she'd appeal more on ground slower than good. |
12/1 |

6th 7 (4) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Signed off 2025 with a claiming success at Leicester (7f, soft) in October on his final start for Eve Johnson Houghton; two fair efforts over 7f since joining this stable and now drops back in trip on ground that he could probably do with being a bit softer than forecast. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

All three wins have been over 6f; hasn't fired on either of her starts this year but well handicapped if she can return to form. |
5/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Raced on unfavoured part of the track and eased once beaten at Goodwood two days ago on seasonal debut (effort best forgiven); can enter calculations on plenty of 2025 form, including a May success (beat Strike) over C&D. |
10/1 |

9th 3 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All three wins have been at 6f but she ended last season with a creditable second over this trip at Newmarket (good); has gone close when fresh in the past and she's a player if she can pick up where she left off. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has record of 3-6 over C&D and he's finished placed in his two runs this season including a close second at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last week; on same mark here and he's an interesting contender back at this track. |
4/1 |

2nd 7 (2) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Reappeared with a promising third at Kempton (7f, AW) last month and he's 2lb lower than when winning at Windsor (6f, good) last August; he has a good record at Windsor but can also be effective elsewhere; chance. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Gradually back to form this term, most recently prevailing at Goodwood (6f, good to soft); has never won above Class 5 but she remains favourably treated, having defied current mark last term (over 7f). |
4/1 |
|
1st 8 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Strike-rate of 4-35; best run for a while when a front-running second at Lingfield (7f, good) and dropping back to 6f won't hinder, nor the slower ground; could have done with a higher draw ideally but should run well. |
13/2 |

2nd 8 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Out of the frame in her last ten starts, but is 4lb lower than when making all over C&D this time last year; by no means written off. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f handicap at Kempton in January and he has run several good races since, notably a narrow defeat back at Kempton two weeks ago; Billy Loughnane retains the ride; as this 5yo showed at Ascot in May, he's a strong contender back on fast turf. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner in January off a 1lb higher mark than today's and he's posted some good efforts since, including when fifth of 18 in a 0-80 at Ascot in May; beaten about 3l when sixth at Goodwood (7f, soft) 25 days ago and now drops in grade. |

10st 5lb |
Can miss the break and is usually ridden from off the pace; won a Brighton handicap (5.3f) by a wide margin on Tuesday for Jude Fernandes; that made it three wins from his last four starts and he is a leading player under his penalty. |
4/6 |

1st 1 (2) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

1st 4 (5) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |

Sole success in 12 starts came on the AW but he has run well on various surfaces on turf; has proved inconsistent since returning in February, though, and he can miss the break. |

Two turf wins last summer and three AW wins this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in April; ran well when third of five at Salisbury next time but two lesser runs have followed and he needs to raise his game. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Seven of his 13 wins have come at Windsor and latest was over 5f (good) last month; finished well to snatch third at Bath (5.7f) and Sandown (5f) in his last two runs and he's strongly respected back up in trip. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Hard to fancy on recent evidence whereas she arrived in good form prior to winning this last year (good to firm); however, she's dropped to a dangerous mark and can't be written off in her bid to make it 2-2 here. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Six wins include two over C&D and she was runner-up here on heavy ground in September off a 5lb higher mark than today's; below her best in recent starts but probably wasn't helped by racing on the wing at Goodwood four days ago; chance. |
5/1 |

9th 2 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Back on her last winning mark and perhaps stretched by 7f last time when behind Land Of Magic; fine on all surfaces and considered, despite a low draw. |
