20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Not won on turf since his 2yo days and has gone off the boil, finishing a remote last behind Physique at Beverley a few weeks ago; hard to recommend off the back of that. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Bounced back to form when second of seven at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; 1lb rise for that still leaves him 1lb below his last winning mark and he ran well in his only previous attempt over this far; shortlisted. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won off 2lb higher in Class 4 on AW last November; has failed to land a blow in Class 3 races since returned to turf but this drop back in grade may have a positive effect; fairly useful in this sphere as a 2yo. |
8/1 |
|
8th 12 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Previously effective on turf but form dipped returned to this sphere last time and he still hasn't scored on grass since his 2yo days; admittedly on a workable mark provided he rebounds. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Both turf wins came on quick ground at 7f-1m at Ayr; posted a career best when only caught late on in a 17-runner 7f Curragh handicap in June when ahead of a few of these; her run at Naas next time was below that (7f, good) good claims on that Curragh effort. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Both turf wins came on quick ground at 7f-1m at Ayr; AW winner last winter and posted career-best on latest when only caught late on in 17-runner Curragh handicap over this trip last month; trip/ground remains in his favour, can go well again. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
AW winner at 7f but has been fine over 1m in his last two races, going close at Lingfield and Kempton; up 3lb for those defeats but capable of winning off this mark; having third run on turf. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 8 (2) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Ready 7f AW win in January; upped to 1m for the first time at Lingfield in March and produced career-best form, finishing off best behind a winner who was red-hot at the time; absent since but could have more to come at this trip. |
4/1 |

2nd 8 (2) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

Ran out the ready winner of a 7f handicap here in January; beaten favourite in two 7f handicaps since and steps up to 1m on a retrieval mission. |

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. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

16/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 13 starts came in a Ripon novice over 1m in 2024; best effort this term came when third of 11 over this C&D in May but he's been down the field on his last three starts; tongue-tie added. |
7/1 |

5th 2 (5) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 12 starts came in a Ripon novice in 2024 (1m, good); hasn't been the most consistent this season and he's been well beaten on his last two outings; down to a career-low mark but others are preferred. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Smart on his day, as when runner-up to a top 6f handicapper at York (good) last October, and he saw off Desert Cop, Badri and Diligently in some style over C&D in May, despite being switched twice; not so good in two runs since but he's too talented to overlook back on this track. |
25/1 |
|
9th 10 (2) |
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. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when coming from rear to land a Carlisle handicap (7f, soft) in May; only 1lb higher here but he's been well held in his last two starts and this is his first attempt at a sprint trip; others preferred. |
20/1 |

10th 8 (8) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt at Carlisle (7f, soft) last month; soundly beaten at Doncaster (7f, good) since but it's possible he'll be able to bounce back; has run well on Tapeta elsewhere. |
10/1 |

8th 1 (1) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not straightforward but plenty of ability for one plying his trade at Class 5 level; off the mark at the ninth attempt when winning a Carlisle handicap four weeks ago (7f, soft); 2lb rise not beyond him if things pan out favourably once again. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won six times in Ireland (7f-1m2f) for Michael Mulvany, including over 1m at Listowel (heavy) last September; things are yet to click for him for this trainer (0-7), hanging under pressure at Hamilton (8.5f) recently; mark continues to ease. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |

Low-key return to turf at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; should be well treated but he comes with risks attached. |
25/1 |
|
14th 11 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Drew a blank in 2025 but he has slipped a long way in the weights; absent since a poor run at Newcastle (7f) in February; headgear absent for his return and dropping back to 6f isn't sure to suit. |
33/1 |
|
10th 12 (11) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Too headstrong in a clear lead at Southwell (7f) last time, so did fairly well to be beaten only 2l in the end; gained last win off 10lb higher at Newcastle in August 2024; fighting chance provided he settles. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins on turf came on testing ground in France and his best efforts in Britain have been on the AW, including a win at Kempton in October; below par in recent starts and has been dropped another 2lb. |
11/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
His best efforts in Britain have been on AW and he was ideally suited by testing ground when trained in France; none too consistent, either. |
