4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Course winner who struck at Thirsk (1m, good) last month and is just 1lb higher today; however, this 7yo has had a patchy profile this season and has finished unplaced on his last two starts. |
25/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Hard to predict; followed six duck eggs with a last-gasp win at Thirsk (1m, good) two weeks ago, only to run poorly again at Haydock last week; just 2lb higher than for the win but can't be relied on. |

Followed six duck eggs with a last-gasp win at Thirsk (1m, good) last Saturday under Seamus Cronin, capitalising on some leniency from the handicapper; nudged back up only 2lb; has possibilities if on another going day. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
In good form since returning to turf in the spring, getting the better of Silver Ghost to score at Newmarket (good) in May before solid third on the July course (again 7f, good to firm) the following month; just caught out by a drop to 6f when fourth at Ascot 19 days ago but that form is working out well; player back at 7f with William Buick taking over. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Dual winner at 1m who was dropped back down to 7f when he scored at Newmarket (good) in May; stayed on for third over that trip on the July course a fortnight ago so this first start at 6f is something of a surprise. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
An ideal type for this race having won the Victoria Cup over C&D in 2024 and 2026, both times off 5lb lower on good ground (lightly raced in between and latest occasion was only his third run for new yard); still favourably treated on historical data; good credentials. |
12/1 |
|
1st 6 (26) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Seen only twice, both times on AW, last term for new yard; made a winning reappearance off current mark in this contest (on good ground) two years ago on first start during a brief spell with Charlie Fellowes; fighting chance in repeat bid, assuming he's in top form. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Just 1lb higher than for his Victoria Cup win last term (first run for Charlie Fellowes); midfield at Royal Ascot (Group 1) one month later; absent since a disappointing run on soft ground last September; cheekpieces worn on his last 11 starts are left off on today's stable debut (same owners); interesting, especially if backed. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Well suited by slow ground; attractively handicapped and his last two runs have both been promising, meeting trouble before finishing off strongly at Newcastle last month; high on the list. |
4/1 |
|
4th 9 (10) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
1lb lower than for his Doncaster win 12 months ago (7f, soft); several creditable runs in handicaps this season but he will need to pull out a bit more if he's to come out on top. |
12/1 |
|

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Not troubled the judge this season but hasn't been running badly, last time behind Native Warrior on the AW in late June; a triple winner on ground softer than good so connections have no doubt been waiting for some rain; worth considering. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Unbeaten as a 2yo but losing run now stands at 15; shaped well over C&D on his stable debut in June (wind op beforehand) but he hasn't built on it twice since; edging down the weights but others appeal more. |
14/1 |

11th 7 (9) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |

Close fourth of 13 at 40-1 on stable debut over C&D in June; failed to build on that at York next time but he continues to edge down the weights and is not discounted on just his second AW start. |

5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
A dual 7f scorer for Archie Watson in 2025 and he signed off for the yard with a solid sixth at Kempton (7f) 57 days ago; since changed hands for 20,000gns and he can't be discounted for his new handler. |
14/1 |
|
6th 6 (12) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer; the winner of three of his nine runs for Archie Watson, including two wins and a second from three AW starts; bumped into a promising filly at Kempton six weeks ago but his subsequent 3lb rise won't help matters. |
7/1 |
|

19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Has lacked consistency on turf but remains unexposed on AW and his C&D success last week took record in this sphere to 2-2; highly respected under 5lb penalty kept to this scenario. |

9st 10lb |
Four AW wins, including over 1m; 0-16 on turf but he's in form, having finished fourth at Goodwood (7f) in last two starts; remains on a workable mark and enters calculations. |
9/2 |
|
4th 18 (11) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
A couple of close calls led to a frustrating campaign last year but it was a good effort when a running-on fourth to Crimson Spirit over C&D (good) in May; not seen since but he's dipped below his last winning mark and this may have been the plan; big run might be on the cards. |
8/1 |

4th 5 (7) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Useful on his day but losing run is mounting up and two duck eggs this year leave a question mark over his current form; chance partly depends on how well he responds to the removal of usual cheekpieces. |

Consistent type who arrives on a high after coming from the rear to win convincingly off lower turf mark at Newmarket (7f) in July; 7lb higher here but he's just as effective at 1m and not ruled out. |

1st 4 (9) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

In-form 7yo who has reached the frame in his last three runs including when third of 11 in a C&D handicap (good to firm) three weeks ago; finished ahead of Exposure in that race and he has each-way claims again. |

6th 7 (1) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Beaten on his last 14 starts and he's been expensive to follow in that time, but he was denied a clear run at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month and again ran well when fifth of 19 at York (7f, good) last time; could be thereabouts. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Couldn't set your watch by him but he's a smart performer on his good days, as when beating 21 rivals at Doncaster (6f, heavy) last November; finished fourth in the Victoria Cup here (7f, good) in May, and he is 5lb lower today, but there hasn't been much to cheer since then. |
33/1 |

19th 3 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Inconsistent but he is a smart performer, as when beating his 21 rivals at Doncaster last November (6f, heavy); raced exclusively at 7f since, with mixed results, but this mark isn't beyond him and a big run could be on the cards back down in distance. |
50/1 |

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

Below his best on his last two runs, most recently over C&D at the Royal meeting; has some good C&D form, however, such as when fourth in both this race last year and the Victoria Cup in May; not ruled out each-way. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Took a step forward on the AW earlier in the year, at 7f and 6f, but he didn't make his turf debut until never involved in a Listed race at Haydock (7f, good) in May; comes from a line of superb turf sprinters but this is a difficult first handicap on grass, to put it mildly. |
66/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |

In good form on the AW this year, winning a handicap at Lingfield (7f) in February and running creditably when fourth in similar event at Newcastle (6f) on Good Friday; has shown he's up to Listed level but this is still a warm race in which to be making his debut on grass. |

7f has been her optimum trip and she can blow the start, so there is risk attached; however, she showed good speed with a back-to-form second at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month and is not ruled out; has run well on good to soft ground but has struggled when encountering soft. |

C&D handicap winner who was third to Royal Velvet in a Group 3 at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in May; however, this exposed 6yo faces a tougher assignment in today's line-up and was ninth of 13 in this race 12 months ago; blew the start at Newmarket last time; hood/tongue-tie are applied. |
