3rd 6 (9) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 208y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
3yo who has dropped 12lb in the weights since making his handicap debut in April but for good reason; merely fifth of six when upped to 2m at Wolverhampton (AW) recently and others are preferred. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
No improvement in handicaps thus far; steps up to 2m but others are more appealing. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No real impact in 1m2f/1m3f handicaps following break/gelding operation then ran poorly in first-time headgear (blinkers) over 1m4f; less severe headgear goes on here and he'll likely encounter genuine fast ground for the first time. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Goes beyond an extended 1m2f for the first time and there's a concern regarding whether he'll settle, which didn't happen at Sandown last time; however, two starts ago he was held up there (1m2f, good) and stayed on well for third, and on that evidence he has potential at this new trip provided he's amenable to restraint; pedigree bodes well for soft ground. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All three starts this term were at about 1m2f on good, unraced on firmer; won handicap debut at Goodwood in May; disappointing favourite at York (failed to settle early on) next time but better from off the pace when third of 12 off this mark over C&D three weeks ago, in a tight finish for second with Akho Mezzna and Tambora; each-way contender again for in-form yard. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Narrowly made a successful reappearance/handicap debut over C&D (good) early last month, but proved a disappointing favourite at York (1m2f, good) last time; needs to bounce back, but the return to Sandown may help. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Made most when winning at Bath (1m2f, good to firm) in April but he didn't see out that trip so well in handicaps after and the return to 1m, with a tongue-tie added, was a better fit for him at Windsor recently; still has potential despite 6lb rise. |
100/30 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1m2f novice winner in April; rather disappointing afterwards but he was then well backed last time at Ayr (1m2f) and beat all bar an Ed Walker improver; 2lb higher with a tongue-tie added and firmly enters the reckoning; should be fine back at 1m. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Easy winner of a Bath novice (1m2f, good) in April but he's been disappointing in two handicaps since; still lightly raced but he has hung right a few times and he needs to find more progress. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Half-brother to 1m2f winner Forest Hills (RPR 70); tailed off at 25-1 on debut at Ffos Las (7.3f, heavy) in September; transformation needed. |
40/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
February foal by Make Believe; half-brother to 1m2f winner Forest Hills (RPR 70); dam unraced half-sister to 1m4f-2m winner Clowance One, out of 1m4f Group 3 winner/Irish St Leger runner-up Clowance; stable can get them ready first time, but already gelded and he may be one for middle-distances next year. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Son of Ulysses who is on the up in handicaps, runner-up for second consecutive start when beaten a head at Wolverhampton (1m4f) 26 days ago; that form is working out well so he's very much one to consider on his first go on Polytrack. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five-race maiden but steadily progressive stepping up in trip, his best effort when runner-up at Southwell (1m3f) three weeks ago with Prince Of Calypso a place back; looks sure to be thereabouts. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed improved form when beaten less than 4l on handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) this month; steps up in trip and holds place claims. |

Yet to get off the mark but he has made the frame in his last five starts and this easier grade should see him go close. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Six-race maiden; returned from break with two good efforts this summer, latterly when third of five at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) last month; should be fine over today's longer trip; likely contender. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Nine-race maiden who is yet to show any improvement after three runs for James Owen, managing only a midfield finish over C&D on latest outing three weeks ago; might be aided by the refitted visor today, though. |
12/1 |
|
6th 10 (1) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Eight-race maiden who hasn't yet improved for a move to James Owen; dropping down the weights and cheekpieces left off today. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 (2) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden; failed to progress for James Horton and his recent stable debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft; cheekpieces first time) didn't smack of a winner in waiting; his trainer has performed wonders with similar types in the past though and it is too soon to write him off. |

11st 2lb |
Unplaced all six Flat starts; not disgraced when midfield off basement mark at Lingfield (2m, AW) three weeks ago, though, and Sheena West's prowess in this type of race should not be underestimated. |
12/1 |
|
6th 9 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Beaten 9l or more in all five runs, including on his stable debut over C&D (33-1; first run since gelded) last month; that was after an absence but he needs to show a lot more on this return visit. |
20/1 |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Record is 3-6 and the form of his most recent success, in four-runner handicap over 1m2f at Newbury, has been franked by the runner-up since; came up short in Class 2 last time but this is an easier task. |
11/8 |

8th 4 (4) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Hindered by unfavourable draw at Royal Ascot (1m) on handicap debut; got on top towards the finish in small field at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) since, taking record to 3-5; may rate higher still. |
8/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Started his career with two 1m novice wins on good ground and ran well in defeat next time; 50-1, however, when tongue tied for first time on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) eight weeks ago and faded to be well beaten; this race is far less daunting and his dam was a 1m1f/1m2f winner, so it will again be interesting to gauge his market strength. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won here (1m, good to firm) in May and also scored on two of his next three starts (1m, good to firm); merely mid-division at York (1m, good to soft) last time and, while he's shaped as though this extra furlong could be a positive, it's possible that the handicapper is now in charge. |
33/1 |
|
7th 2 (13) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Made it three wins from his last four starts when returning to winning ways at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; had just a nose to spare and is 6lb higher today, but all of his wins have been narrow ones and he keeps defying the handicapper; has run well on good to soft (unraced on softer). |
16/1 |
|
1st 6 (7) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won handicaps in May on the other course here and at Carlisle (both 1m on good to firm) but the rise in the weights and grade proved a step too far behind Moonfall in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; another tall order here. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Tends to lead; got back up late when claiming Goodwood Listed event (1m2f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in June; soundly beaten in the Group 2 Ribblesdale next time but her latest effort in Deauville Group 3, despite finishing last, was her best on RPRs; that still leaves her with something to find. |
25/1 |
|
8th 11 (11) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner; won on handicap debut here (1m2f, good to firm) in May before handicap second at Goodwood (1m4f, good), and she went one better in a Listed race there (1m2f, soft) 11 days ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); progressive but further improvement is needed in this much hotter race. |
50/1 |
|
1st 10 (4) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Made all at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) on handicap/seasonal debut and set steady pace when second here (1m4f, good; unraced on softer) 16 days ago; steady improver but needs a big step forward in today's first-time headgear. |
