2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner (from a similar mark, beat Criminal Shore) last October; runner-up to well-treated rival over C&D (9-1) penultimate start; reluctant to load, fluffing his chance with a slow start at Redcar (1m; last of 14) latest; possible if back on song. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Strong traveller who sometimes flatters to deceive; close second to a recent Glorious Goodwood winner on latest turf start, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in June, and also ran well on AW last month but has modest 2-32 strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes; usually wears blinkers or cheekpieces but goes only in a first-time tongue-tie here. |

C&D winner who comes here on the back of a good second of five in 1m Doncaster handicap last month, just failing; not out of things despite a 2lb weights rise. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Hard to be too enthused by this summer's turf efforts but his AW mark has come down with it and this five-time course scorer is well treated if revved to go after 102 days off. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Posted duck eggs at York the last twice but this is a drop back in class and he's on last winning mark; however, still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf and his losing run is mounting up. |
12/1 |

11th 9 (9) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
He's 8-50 on the AW and only 1-13 on turf; he was bang there over this far and off this mark at Redcar in April but he's another in here on a recovery mission after two lesser efforts. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
33-1 winner on AW (7f) in January who ran well when second at Ascot (1m, good to firm) in July; three other outings this year don't come close, albeit he had an excuse when eased down last time; not easy to predict what comes next. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
His first win came over 7f (soft) but better at 1m now, getting up late to win on Wolverhampton AW when making his yard debut in January and finding only a subsequent winner too good at Ascot last month; out of sorts at Redcar since though and reverts to 7f with something to prove. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when keeping-on second of five over C&D (good to firm) in July but both subsequent runs were underwhelming and he's now 0-14; needs good boost from the new blinkers. |

Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when keeping-on second of five here (1m good to firm) last month but his subsequent AW run was underwhelming and he's now 0-13; yet to convince stamina-wise over 1m2f; not the percentage call. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Ran a fine race in the Group 1 King Charles III over C&D in June but unable to match it since; the balance of her form suggests she is up against it here. |
16/1 |
|
9th 5 (1) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ran a stormer when close sixth of 26 in the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); unable to match that form before or since but she was beaten only 4l when mid-division in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (5f, good to soft) last time and is a key player in this lower grade; effective on soft ground. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
1m win here in June when rated 1lb higher; not beaten far here on his last two starts but he was slightly disappointing when a well-supported favourite on the second occasion. |
10/1 |

5th 2 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent on turf but usually gives his running round here, as when third to Sunriseontheboyne as favourite on Wednesday; a 5lb swing in the weights entitles him to at least close the gap, with neither likely to be hindered by the return to 7f. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got the gaps, strong at the finish, when successful over C&D in June (17-2; from this mark - Flying Fletcher fourth); failed to build on that until hinting at a return to form at Doncaster (7f; sixth, 22-1; blindfold off late) latest; one to consider. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His losing run stands at 18 and he has been disappointing since a good run at Thirsk in April; drops in class with blinkers now given a go; a revival wouldn't be out of the question. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (7) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Winless since taking a 7f novice at this meeting two years ago; best run this year came when second over 1m at Thirsk in April when 6lb higher, and there's always a chance that the new visor might have a positive effect. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |

Yet to win a handicap since landing a 7f Ayr novice in September 2024; steps up in trip off a career-low mark but others preferred. |
