26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Drew a blank during regressive 2025 campaign and down the field on reappearance at Chepstow three weeks ago; however, he left last season's comeback run well behind to post 33-1 third on his next start, and he's not discounted off a reduced mark. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Went winless in 2025 but he posted some good placed efforts, signing off with a solid third in 1m Leicester handicap in October; not out of it if fully tuned up for his seasonal return so worth a market check. |

Threatened on AW and turf in the spring but his last two efforts have been below par (C&D latterly); feasibly handicapped but others are more persuasive. |

6th 11 (11) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

On a long losing sequence but twice went close on AW earlier this year and he was denied a clear run when 2l fourth of 11 at Newmarket (7f, good) last month; seems versatile ground-wise; might not be far away. |

Most recent win came over this trip at Chepstow in May on final run for Thomas Faulkner; not disgraced over 6f twice since and looks ready for a return to 7f; gets that here and should be thereabouts. |
14/1 |
|
6th 8 (11) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Turned things around when scoring back on turf at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) for Thomas Faulkner last month; remains feasibly treated on that form and he made a solid start for new yard when fourth of 16 at Newmarket (6f, good) ten days ago; in the mix. |
8/1 |
|
4th 10 (18) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Having tumbled down the weights he returned to form at Chepstow (7f, good to firm; well backed) three weeks ago, reportedly appreciating the return to turf; still has plenty of handicapping scope up 3lb and his new trainer (same owner) has won with two of his last three runners; visor returns today having worn cheekpieces last time. |

9st 9lb |
7f AW win for Denis Quinn last season; running well for his new trainer too, most recently finishing a neck second at Epsom (good to firm) last week; runs off the same mark (1lb well in) and he is respected, for all his stamina for 1m has to be conclusively proven. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Close third on stable debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) in May and didn't run badly when close eighth of ten (just behind Potomac River) in stronger race than this at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks ago; no surprise if he features. |
5/1 |
|
8th 6 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Became his new trainer's first runner, having been picked up from Denis Quinn for 17,000gns, when faring well in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Yarmouth three weeks ago (Dapper Guest behind); generally consistent and won't mind the stiffer 7f. |

9st 13lb |
Won two from five last season and made an encouraging reappearance/stable debut when fourth of nine at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; stepping back down to 7f looks a positive move and the booking of promising claimer Jake Dickson is a plus; high on the list. |
13/2 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
In fine form for Denis Quinn last summer, winning Class 5 handicaps at Southwell and Newmarket in August and running well when fourth of 17 at Ascot 258 days ago; he will need to be cherry ripe to defy this mark back from his absence though. |
12/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Two wins came on heavy ground in the autumn; pulled hard and didn't see it out on his first crack at 1m on comeback but has to prove this career-high mark within range on his AW debut. |
10/1 |
|
12th 18 (18) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Record of 2-2 on heavy ground includes a Doncaster success (7f) in first-time cheekpieces when last seen; ideally needs same conditions, being 0-7 on other surfaces; steps up to 1m with the headgear retained. |
20/1 |

1st 8 (15) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Progressed well as a 2yo, ending with a 6f win at Newbury (heavy; also stays 7f); has kept it low key in just three runs this season but more testing ground can play in his favour; now has a go in cheekpieces. |

9st 6lb |
Ex-French 4yo who is 0-8 in Britain and not solid on 2026 form, with his second behind H Key Lails at Lingfield flanked by duck eggs; still has something to prove beyond 7f to boot. |
25/1 |

11th 5 (3) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

8/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-French gelding who was unraced at two; made all to land Vichy claimer (very soft) in August and went mighty close for this yard in Leicester seller (good) in October; 25-1 and raced wide before solid fifth of 12 at Kempton (also 7f, AW) in December; showed no improvement in first-time cheekpieces when last of ten on his return at Epsom (8.5f, good) in April and visor returns; best left alone at present. |

9st 9lb |
Small-field 6f affair not ideal last time and this is a bit easier back in the visor for the first time this season; last summer's easy Epsom win off 4lb lower (made all) showed he's at home round switchback tracks and he's one to consider. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 (2) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has done his winning, and a lot of his racing, over 7f; didn't get the breaks back down to 6f last time following a fair AW comeback, and he's capable of going well off this mark. |
6/1 |
|
11th 10 (17) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Back to his best with a front-running 7f win at Epsom last August; creditable fourth to Arantes Nascimento on his return to action last month; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark and he is yet to win at 6f. |

Her only win came at odds of 1-16 in a three-runner fillies' maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) last September; ran well for second over C&D on her reappearance but not in the same form at Kempton six weeks ago. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Entitled to have come on for her comeback Southwell second to a progressive 3yo three weeks ago; the evidence points to her being happier on the AW than turf and she's relatively low mileage still; yard is in decent form; one to consider. |

16-race maiden but he was runner-up three times last season and wasn't beaten far when fifth in new headgear at Kempton (6f, AW) 11 days ago; that was eye-catching from off the pace and he's in the mix back up in trip. |
5/1 |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

15-race maiden but he did finish runner-up on three occasions last year (twice on the AW); however, he's been down the field in three starts this year and drops back in trip with a bit to prove; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |

Turf wins at 7f and latest success was over 6f on AW in April; has rarely tackled 1m and she was highly tried over this trip in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot in June but she did look to stay an extended 1m at Nottingham in 2025 for previous yard; has possibilities. |

All three wins over shorter, the latest over 6f at Kempton (AW) in April; unable to reproduce that form in three 7f turf outings since; stays 1m but it's hard to be positive about her chance from 3lb out of the weights. |

15-race maiden who went very close over C&D just over a year ago; finished down the field in this race (also soft) nine days later but was back in some form from August following wind surgery; reappearance sixth in a blanket finish at Hamilton last month was a solid effort but slow starts have become a theme and she's 2lb 'wrong'. |

Regressive maiden who returns from seven months off having undergone a second round of wind surgery; done a lot of her racing over 7f and she'd be a surprise winner for a yard that has more obvious claims with Jonny Concrete. |
