3rd 5 (9) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Failed to settle and proved disappointing last time when bidding for AW hat-trick; effective in this sphere and may rebound, especially if the ground is optimal; has gained most turf wins on soft. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (1) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Back to something approaching his best this summer, winning handicaps at Newcastle (1m) and here (7f) on his last two starts; well drawn to attack but a 5lb penalty could scupper his hat-trick bid. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (11) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Added to his five turf wins when making all to beat 13 rivals at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in June; 5lb higher from wide draw here but he still looks on a workable mark and is lightly raced on AW; respected back in trip. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All wins have been over further when hooded and he's 0-7 at about 7f (has placed form); hasn't really fired in any of his last three races but this is easier than he's accustomed to; unraced at Chester. |
9/2 |

5th 4 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

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. |
6/1 |
|
6th 11 (11) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Not at his best two weeks ago but he had been threatening on both AW and turf beforehand; on a dangerous mark and he can't be discounted. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in 6f handicaps at Thirsk and Newmarket this month; should run his race but a 3lb rise for the latest defeat does ask a stiffer question of him. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has a patchy profile but he won at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in May and was runner-up over this trip at Thirsk (good) 13 days ago; back up 2lb in the weights but he was clear of the third last time and has claims if he can back that up. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Very disappointing at Ascot (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago which needs forgiving, but his Chepstow success (7f, good to firm) in May was the only occasion he has dropped into Class 6 company in more than two years; worth a second look. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
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. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Two course wins at 1m; two good efforts for new yard this year but a promising-looking run came to nothing when back over 1m at York last time; still worth a look returned to 7f in his first course run since last summer's win; first-time cheekpieces replace regular visor. |
8/1 |
|
8th 6 (14) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won two from five last season and looks as good as ever this term, fourth in a big field at Ascot two weeks ago; effective at 7f and 1m; should be in the thick of things again. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
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 |
9st 4lb |
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. |

Yet to win for Jim Boyle but he has finished second on three occasions this year; disappointed as favourite at Lingfield (1m, AW) last week; had form on testing ground in France. |
5/1 |
|
7th 6 (6) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 15 starts came at Vichy (7f, very soft) when trained in France; has returned to form since having the headgear removed, finishing runner-up at Sandown (1m, good to firm) on two occasions, including when narrowly ahead of Great Blasket last time; makes the shortlist. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent and he blew the start here two runs ago, but with the visor left off (same today) he returned to form with a good second over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; can be in the mix if backing up that latest run. |

C&D scorer in 2023 who also won at Epsom (made all; 3lb higher today) last August; 2026 performances don't look good enough, third of five on last two outings. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
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. |

9st 1lb |
Just a three-runner maiden win, when sent off 1-16, to her name (7f) but ran her best race in defeat at Southwell last time (also 7f; form has worked out very well); claims, particularly if first-time headgear (cheekpieces) give her a lift; trainer also runs Ghisa. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

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. |

Course winner over 7f three starts back off 9lb lower; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) when ridden by Jude Fernandes next time but blew his chance by hanging right over this C&D three days ago; visor is removed and he needs to bounce back. |
4/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

Took advantage of a career-low mark when scoring here (7f) last month; a shade unlucky when beaten a short head at Southwell (7f, AW) since and should not be far away. |

Reappeared with a 6f win here in April but she's not come close to that form since and was tailed off at Newmarket last month; now only 1lb higher than for her last success but she needs a big turnaround. |
25/1 |
|
6th 4 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
10/1 |

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. |

Well held after a slow start here (1m) 12 days ago but that was after two solid placed efforts at Lingfield (7f/1m); losing run is now up to 15 but he's on a dangerous mark and could get involved if he gets a good pace and some luck; cheekpieces removed. |

Short-headed at Carlisle (1m, good) in August and he's also gone close on soft ground in the past; however, he's failed to threaten on his last two outings and this 6yo remains without a win since September 2022. |

Bettered his 2023 third in this when runner-up (under Becky Smith) to Terries Royale in last year's soft-ground renewal; last win came off a 13lb higher mark in September 2022 but he went mighty close at Carlisle (1m, good) one month ago and this has likely been a target; player again despite stall 1 probably not being ideal. |

Underwent a second wind operation prior to her return to action in May and it appears to have done the trick, as she followed her breakthrough win at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) with a comfortable success at Ayr (5f, good); poorly drawn at York last time (wore cheekpieces); could still have a bigger run in her. |
