22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who finished close up in valuable 7f handicaps at Royal Ascot and here (both good to firm) on last two appearances; doesn't have that much to find with the principals on this return to Listed company but has never run in a sprint before. |
9/2 |

3rd 3 (15) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 3-9 includes two wins at the Newmarket tracks; good second, beaten only a neck, in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently; due to go up 3lb in future; strong contender. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (31) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who was 3-5 last term, readily winning at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) final start; hindered by racing alone returned to that C&D last time; may still have more to offer and can't be written off; Billy Loughnane (up for first time) is a booking of note. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
All four wins at 6f but was a good third over 5f at Ascot last spring and the way he travelled in the lead for a long way in a competitive 6f handicap at Newmarket last weekend suggests he should be fine back at the minimum trip; well drawn to attack against the rail but any easing of the ground may not help his cause (best form on good/good to firm). |
10/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

All four wins at 6f and not on an impossible mark even with top weight; however, he's not easily trusted after his last two efforts. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Seemed in the doldrums prior to third of ten at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last Saturday; had slipped in the weights and he's well treated on the pick of his 3yo form; not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Scored three times for previous yard but is 0-8 for current stable and not particularly solid on 2026 form that includes mostly duck eggs, beaten 8l with tongue-tie fitted at Glorious Goodwood most recently; perhaps best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |
14/1 |
|
13th 17 (18) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Scored at York for Andrew Balding on his last run in this grade; quite highly tried in seven starts for this yard but he was far from disgraced when third of five in a Swedish Listed event (7f, good) one month ago; tongue-tie added and he has one of the widest stalls to contend with, however. |

Two from two this term, namely comfortable wins in C&D maiden in April and Haydock novice event in July, both over 7f on good ground; gelded prior to last time; respected with further improvement plausible. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

Promising third on his Kempton debut in December (6f) and more than backed up that positive impression when running away with a 7f maiden (good) at Newmarket 11 weeks ago; looked a fine prospect there and he's a strong contender despite his 7lb penalty; been gelded. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won a nursery here at last year's Glorious meeting (7f, good to firm) and back on the scoresheet at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in August; fifth of 13 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) since and this 3yo could build on that latest performance now back up in trip; unraced on slow ground. |
10/1 |

5th 6 (6) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Proved resurgent with success on the July course (1m, good to firm) last time, albeit off 3lb lower and with rider taking off 5lb; this looks a harder task but he's had a light campaign and may have more to offer. |
8/1 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Down the field (beaten 8l) in the Britannia on his only previous attempt at 1m; this season's form figures are a tad misleading as he's not been running badly, including last time in a deep 7f handicap at Goodwood; only 4lb higher than for his nursery win and Jack Dace takes off 5lb; could be interesting. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
It was a convincing win when she beat 13 others to land a valuable handicap from 6lb lower over C&D (good) last May; this season started well with two placed efforts at Newmarket (7f, good to firm/good) in May but she disappointed when beaten 15l to finish last of 10 on the July course 25 days ago; that can probably be forgiven as she raced in a group that was never competitive. |
10/1 |

10th 6 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Had a good 3yo campaign last season and she was beaten just a neck on the other Newmarket course (7f, good) this May on her second start back; has run well on this track in the past and she's in calculations up 2lb. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Finished eighth behind Two Tribes in this race 12 months ago when 4lb lower; he is a better horse now, as emphasised by two 6f AW wins in January and a fine second in the Wokingham (cheekpieces first time) but he finished behind Two Tribes at Ascot last week and others look more appealing for win purposes. |
14/1 |
|
13th 2 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Returned to form when dropped back in trip in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in the Wokingham here (6f, good to firm) last month, finishing fast under Ryan Moore for a head second; on that evidence the return to 7f could be a good move and he's one to consider. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Not disgraced in major 7f handicap at Ascot on penultimate start but is still seeking a first win above Class 3 and his ceiling is well established; moved out of David O'Meara's yard since last run. |
33/1 |
|
9th 9 (14) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |

All three wins at 7f including at Doncaster (good to firm) in June; has remained in form but he's drawn wide and may not be quite so effective over 1m. |
16/1 |

7th 16 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Denied a clear run when fifth at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) latest and he's a type who needs things to drop right; however, he got up on the line at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) two runs ago and may have an each-way shout. |

Reappeared at York (7f, good) in June following a wind op and he beat 19 rivals to win; very much of interest based on that performance but he was well beaten back at York (7f, good to firm) last time; cheekpieces go on. |
25/1 |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Ended 2025 quietly but that resulted in a drop in the weights and he bounced back to form when pipping Lir Speciale over C&D four weeks ago; that was his first run after a wind operation and he retains handicapping scope despite a 3lb rise; drawn widest. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Has raced exclusively at 7f, winning four of her 12 starts; overcame a wide draw and trouble in running to win at Chester (7f, good) three weeks ago, showing a bright turn of foot and having more in hand than the 1l winning margin might suggest; up 4lb ahead of this belated first 6f run but the way she travels through her races offers serious encouragement that she will improve for it; tops the list. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (10) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Produced a smart turn of foot to defy a wide draw in a C&D handicap in May; unplaced twice since but her potential hasn't been dimmed, looking stretched by the trip on rain-softened ground at Epsom and then doing best of her group at Royal Ascot; drawn widest again but this mark is unlikely to prove beyond her. |
5/2 |
|
17th 15 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Developing into a useful 7f filly and did well to win at Chester (good) on seasonal debut, having been drawn wide and come from quite a difficult position; below-par favourite at Epsom on softer ground since but it may be best to forgive that effort; still of interest. |

Lost chance by blowing the start last time; prevailed narrowly off 1lb lower in Class 4 event over C&D (soft) in June but needs to prove he has the required quality at this better level. |
33/1 |

7th 3 (8) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent but he won at Goodwood (7f, soft) in June and wasn't beaten far when seventh of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) last time; his career-best performance came when winning easily over C&D (good) last June and he's an intriguing candidate back here; capable of playing a leading role. |
9/1 |

7th 14 (9) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
In fine form last spring, winning three times including over C&D; cheekpieces returned at Goodwood last month and he recorded a narrow soft-ground success; 2lb rise shouldn't handicap him out of things and faster ground should be beneficial. |

Three-time 7f turf winner who finished eighth of 16 in the 3yo handicap over C&D at this meeting last year for James Owen; had been gelded before finishing down the field in first two starts for this yard but was close to career-best form when second of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago; that was a bunch finish but 1lb nudge still looks reasonable; considered despite tricky stall. |

10st 0lb |
4-21, with the most recent success coming at Newbury (6f, good) last April off a 12lb higher mark than today's; below his best on his final three starts for Richard Hughes and has failed to beat a rival home in two outings for this stable; others preferred. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Dual 7f Polytrack winner in his younger days but does most racing now over 6f; made a poor debut in a claimer for his new yard here last month, having been picked up for 10,000gns from Richard Hughes last autumn; surprise to see him take this. |
50/1 |

11th 4 (10) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Has gained his wins over 6f on turf and 7f on AW; inconsistent since last success but has a chance on these figures now into a claimer if in form after his break (yard debut); drawn wide. |
