30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not disgraced at Royal Ascot (1m) on handicap debut but has failed to land a blow in lesser races since; chance partly depends on the effects of added cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

7th 13 (11) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won a Thirsk novice over 1m last August; respectable tenth in the Sandringham in June before finishing sixth of ten at Ayr (1m, good) last month; still has stamina to prove for this trip. |
25/1 |

9st 5lb |
3yo filly; respectable tenth in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot (handicap debut) with reappearance under her belt; now 2lb lower and Jack Nicholls takes off a useful 5lb; not ruled out. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Showed a consistent level when placed on all three starts (7f/1m) on a variety of surfaces last year; enters handicaps on his reappearance having been gelded and this opening mark is probably fair. |
6/1 |
|
2 (3) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Achieved RPR of 81 when just giving best to Godolphin favourite on debut (7f) and recorded same figure when outstayed on heavy ground over this trip 22 days ago; fancied to go one better. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
2nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Clear second behind a well-touted Godolphin newcomer at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) and that RPR of 81 is the best on show here; connections presumably not fazed by running him on slower ground here. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Exposed but consistent and dug deep to prevail in a close finish over 1m2f here a month ago (they went steady); every chance off 2lb higher; third over this trip the time before. |
2/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to make any significant further progress since winning nursery debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in November but recent third of five here (11.4f, good to firm) was perfectly respectable and he may benefit from this drop back in trip. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Successful handicap debut at Wolverhampton (about 1m1f, AW) last November but has had a very mixed record at this level since, albeit this lesser test than at Newbury recently should be in his favour as he is down in grade and back on his winning mark. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Got up late to win at Kempton (1m, AW) on his debut in September and ran to a similar level under a penalty at Southwell next time; beaten a head at Haydock (1m, good to firm) on his turf/handicap debut 55 days ago and has since been gelded; open to further progress. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Hit the front in the nick of time when justifying support on his Kempton AW debut in September but he was easily outpointed by a promising type on Southwell reappearance (1m) last month, when much more use was made of him; interesting to see the tactics on turf debut but should do better. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed prior to narrowly landing a 1m novice at Kempton last September, doing well to reel in the front-running runner-up; entered in the 2000 Guineas and open to plenty of improvement. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Was progressing steadily until his latest effort when beaten 25l at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) 16 days ago; dons first-time cheekpieces and may have more to give. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten under 3l when upped to 1m4f for handicap debut at Salisbury (good to firm) and should have more to offer. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Down the field on first two starts (1m/1m2f) but fared better when third of seven here (1m2f, good to firm) last month, albeit no threat to front pair; should have more improvement to come in handicaps. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Launched handicap career with two thirds off basment mark in April (9.4f/1m4f) and didn't run badly when fifth of eigth at Wolverhampton (1m4f) last month but needs to take a step forward to get a win on the board. |
6/1 |
|
5th 8 (1) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Has posted solid placed efforts this spring, third of nine in 1m4f Kempton handicap 33 days ago; a bit more is needed from 1lb out of the handicap here though. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 11 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Gelded prior to showing some improvement with third-place finish at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on handicap/sesaonal debut, shaping as if this longer trip will suit; receives plenty of weight all round and could go well. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Doubled his tally with a game all-the-way success in four-runner handicap at Leicester (1m4f) last month; runner-up has won since so he has a big shout nudged up 1lb over this longer trip. |
2/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; checked out quickly at Salisbury on Saturday but could easily bounce back given he left a poor run behind when turned out just nine days later earlier in the month. |
7/2 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up on two of his three starts this season, losing out by only a neck after game attempt to make all at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) this month; moves up from 0-60 grade today, though. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Latest start, his sixth, was easily his closest finish but that fourth of six in handicap at Lingfield (back down to 1m2f, good to firm) was still low-level form and he needs much better. |
16/1 |
|
4th 7 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Big prices and he's not finished closer than 13l to a winner in his five starts and has a best RPR of 35; opposable back in trip. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to build on his debut third of ten at Kempton (7f, AW) last August but he didn't shape badly there over 1m on his handicap debut last month; that was his first start for 258 days and this Time Test gelding could be suited by stepping up to 1m2f. |
10/1 |
|
7th 3 (14) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Third of ten in a newcomers race at Kempton (7f, AW) last August, but two backward steps in the autumn; latest was on heavy going, so might be excused and he needs a second look on this handicap/seasonal debut. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Couple of costly defeats for Michael Bell this season; evidently felt to have ability and perhaps the change of scenery will help, as long as she's more amenable this time coming back down from 1m; no surprise were she to pop up. |
10/1 |
|
7th 4 (6) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Fair form when in the frame in 7f Kempton maiden and 1m1f Goodwood novice in May; beat just two in 7f Southwell novice last time though so needs a big step forward now going handicapping. |
6/1 |
|
10th 3 (8) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
0-5 but she ran well when third of 14 in a maiden at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in May and didn't see out 1m2f at Goodwood later that month; she could have a big part to play back down in trip. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Steadily progressive in handicaps this summer, winning at Windsor (extended 1m3f, good to firm) in June and then third of nine at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last month; looked stretched by the trip on the latter occasion and she should go well back at 1m4f. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Built on earlier promise to land 11.5f handicap at Windsor 30 days ago; up 3lb but not out of things on her Tapeta debut over this longer distance. |
5/2 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Reliable Gleneagles filly who came clear of the rest when a very good second of seven in 1m4f Newbury handicap 16 days ago; big player off the same mark in her bid for a breakthrough victory. |
