Belied 100-1 odds when respectable fifth of 14 off his much higher AW mark at Newcastle (6f) last week but has 0-20 strike-rate on turf; others have more persuasive profiles. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Heavily backed when winning a 6f handicap at Southwell on New Year's Day; ran well over C&D a fortnight later but short of his best twice since, including after wind surgery when eighth of 22 at York last month; returning to AW can help and seems highly likely to run his race. |
15/2 |

8th 2 (7) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Produced an uncharacteristic below-par run at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month but he's had wind surgery since and was progressive on AW in the winter; twice finished close-up in big-field handicaps over this C&D (good/good to firm) last summer and there's every chance he will be bang there. |
10/1 |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Rewarded strong market support in game fashion at Southwell on New Year's Day (6f); another solid effort when second of 14 over C&D two weeks later; 2lb higher today but there is a fair chance he hasn't reached his ceiling after just 12 starts. |

11th 11 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Four-time AW winner who has finished close up on Tapeta (5f/6f) in his last three runs; record of 1-26 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he ran well in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) last summer; dangerous. |

8st 12lb |
Winless since his productive 2024 campaign; upped to 7f at Thirsk six weeks ago and put in a good front-running shift, picked off close home by the reopposing Brighton Boy; 3lb better off today but it won't be easy trying to boss this field. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Began her career in handicaps with a BHA mark of 60 and has improved in leaps and bounds since; seemed to excel herself when never-nearer sixth of 26 in Group 1 at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm; 40-1) last month; had run creditably over C&D the time before; big chance if repeating Ascot form. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Had wind surgery prior to an impressive performance over C&D on Good Friday; struggled in a Newbury handicap six weeks ago; stable sent out the winner of this race in 2022, 2023 and 2024; work to do at this level. |
11/2 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

7/1 |
|
1st 11 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Smart form in 2024, including over C&D; only ran once in 2025 and he has finished out of the places in all three starts this year but that doesn't tell the whole story as he made some striking late headway into sixth over C&D in January; he has undergone wind surgery since last seen and now sports a tongue tie; looks on a dangerous mark and could be a major player if he can avoid forfeiting too much ground at the start. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time winner (four on AW) who ran well when fourth of 16 last May on his only outing here; chased home a handicap blot on his return to turf in April and he was back in that form when second at Windsor (again 6f, good to firm; Bolo Neighs behind) 11 days ago; in the mix once more. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Five 6f wins in 2025, on AW and turf (good); now 14lb higher than his final run on grass last year and, although he faced difficult tasks in two Newmarket starts this spring, he might have run better in the second of them; needs to raise his turf game. |
9/1 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Upped his game following a gelding operation last summer, winning over C&D in September before making giant strides on AW; returned from a break to do best of the rest behind runaway winner Double Rush over C&D 17 days ago; could have a nice prize in him this year but the 5lb turnaround with Double Rush may be insufficient. |

9st 3lb |
All races over 7f until running a screamer in a close third of 28 (good to firm) in this race last year; ready winner of his next 6f start, on the AW last October; has had some trip and aids switches for new yard but looked back on a better path when a close, staying-on second in a 5f Carlisle Listed race (first-time cheekpieces replaced regular tongue-tie) last time; 3lb well in and has a big run in him back over C&D. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
5-10 at 6f/7f for Harry Charlton; unplaced all four outings since joining current stable, finishing in midfield in Victoria Cup at Ascot most recently; unproven at 5f; wears headgear for the first time; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

13th 4 (29) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Broadly progressive for previous yard but proved disappointing in this race last year, having raced freely; ran well in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot next time; not particularly solid on his 2026 form for new stable and it remains to be seen whether he settles returned to this C&D. |

Strong 6f form here until a disappointing run eight days ago, tanking through the race but finding little off the bridle; should be fine back at 5f and he remains on a dangerous mark. |
7/2 |
|
9th 7 (3) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Has turf form but starting to look like an AW specialist, rewarding market support when seeing off Heavenly Heather and 11 others over C&D two months ago; weighted to confirm the form with his old adversary and he is still 2lb lower than for his fine C&D second last May; strong claims. |
5/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |

Began his time with Julie Camacho with two solid runs in the spring, notably when second of 13 at Newcastle (6f); things have gone south since, albeit in top sprints, and a wind operation didn't arrest the slide at Haydock four weeks ago; cheekpieces return (ran well over 7f here in one previous use); stable also runs Solar Aclaim. |

Won at Haydock (7f, good to firm) last May and at Newcastle (5f, AW) in November but he's a more reliable proposition on AW, on which he's 7-19 as opposed to 1-15 on turf; not at the top of his game on grass of late. |

7th 9 (13) |

Seven wins in 2025, including a turf success (7f, good to firm) off a 3lb higher mark; this looks more manageable than the 20-runner 0-85 handicap he contested at York eight days ago; not ruled out. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
First win for nearly two years when he picked up a Windsor handicap (6f, good to firm) off 3lb lower in May and his subsequent effort at Chester, when never competitive, was a puzzling one a fortnight ago; same mark but it would not be a big surprise if he bounced back. |

Prevailed at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month, proving suited by the return to turf and belatedly registering a first win since joining Ian Williams; a 3lb rise still leaves him feasibly handicapped on the best of last year's form. |

4th 6 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Completed an AW hat-trick when scoring on his handicap debut at Newcastle (6f) last April; held in six subsequent runs but he went close off this mark at Southwell in November and was a creditable third at Newcastle three weeks ago; now returns to turf but he ran well in a fast-ground Listed event last spring and he's still unexposed in this sphere; in the mix. |
13/2 |

3rd 9 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
He was completing a hat-trick when landing the 3yo sprint on this card 12 months ago, a race where he enjoyed a clear run while several in behind met trouble; he hasn't looked ahead of the handicapper in three runs this winter but likely this has been the main target and he has been gelded since his latest run. |

Kept fairly busy in the last 12 months and he supplemented a 6f Windsor win (good) in September by scoring over 7f at Yarmouth (good to soft) in October and at Chelmsford (AW) in December; has held his form with some solid efforts this spring and he could make a serious impact if this sets up for his closing style. |
