25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won early this year on first three runs for James Horton (7f/1m, AW) before good third here (1m, good to firm) and a fifth of seven at Sandown (1m, good); won at Kempton (1m, AW) next time; could give a good account but he's 6-9 on AW as opposed to 0-10 on turf, which tempers enthusiasm. |

1st 1 (14) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hugely progressive for his new stable at the start of the year, winning handicaps at Southwell (7f/1m) before completing his hat-trick at Newcastle (1m); beaten on turf twice since but he is 0-10 in that sphere as opposed to 5-8 on AW; drawn widest but still of some interest. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
He won earlier this year on his first three starts for James Horton (7f/1m, AW); made it 0-9 on turf when 2l third of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago but that was still a positive run and he could be in the mix. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Second when favourite for this race in 2024, with mixed fortunes in her five subsequent C&D appearances but she was a creditable third last June; seen in regular action this year, including when second at Wetherby last month but not so good here eight days ago; her last two wins (2024 and this February) were in small fields, so others make more appeal today. |
20/1 |

8th 13 (2) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Versatile as regards ground; form this year features an AW success in February and close second at Wetherby (7f) last time; five-time winner on turf and C&D record includes two placed efforts; not ruled out. |
12/1 |

2nd 1 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Two good runs at Southwell preceded her Newcastle success in February (7f; blinkered first time); she hasn't run badly at Lingfield twice since, for all she has finished down the field, and this test may prove more suitable; key player. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three-time winner on the AW over 7f and he ran well despite not really settling when second of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago; that was just his third go on the grass and he can remain competitive. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 (10) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Three-time AW winner, most recently in February; two attempts on turf include a good effort (close third off 1lb higher) in a division of this contest 12 months ago; again has place claims. |
13/2 |

3rd 1 (3) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Seemingly boosted by first-time visor when coming from off the pace to score at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; not in same form on latest outing and not one to rely upon heavily but probably still on a good mark. |

Raced wide when well beaten at 150-1 in Group 3 Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) recently; unplaced in three Listed races prior to that; hard to fancy. |

12th 3 (12) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Four handicap wins at Southwell (7f/6f, AW) early this year; however, unplaced in Listed races on turf on her three outings this summer and she's up against it today. |

9th 4 (4) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
All eight wins have come on the AW and is 0-8 on turf, including when just under 3l behind Bellarchi at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; 3lb pull not enough to tempt, especially as she has never attempted this far before. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up off today's mark on stable debut at Ripon (6f, good) in June but subsequent 6f/7f form has been underwhelming, albeit he was denied a clear run last time; wore cheekpieces for last two races; visor given a whirl today. |
5/1 |

9th 7 (9) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins have been here but over 7f and for different yards; however, close up on stable debut over 6f at Ripon and last run wasn't too bad as he was never in the right place at Lingfield; don't put a line through him. |
8/1 |

5th 4 (7) |

Second of seven on stable debut at Ripon (6f, good) in June but failed to back it up at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm); returning to 6f may help but all three AW wins have come at Southwell. |

Five AW wins include two on this course (at 6f; has won over 7f) but he's been going through a quieter spell of late; others more likely. |
12/1 |

3rd 4 (9) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He needs to improve upon his last few showings and was held in fifth over C&D most recently; however, this two-time course winner is 6lb lower than when second at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in March and is not written off. |

5th 7 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Ran well in a higher level on the AW two weeks ago (125-1) and that was after a lengthy break; might be sharper this time and has competitive form here off this sort of mark. |

4th 10 (6) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Generally struggled early in the year and returns from a break of five months; wins have all come after a recent outing and does most of his racing at a lower level now, so has a bit to overcome. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who hasn't progressed since making a promising start to her career last year; however, there have been hints that this first crack at 1m will suit, when keeping on for fifth at both Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in January and Leicester (6f, good to firm) this month; not discounted. |

Ffos Las (6f, good) win on debut; close fifth in a 7f AW handicap in January represents her best form but two heavy defeats have followed; has her first run in a 0-70 and with a tongue-tie added; not solid. |
