19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Well-beaten seventh in 1m4f Group 2 at this meeting on final run last year; won handicap at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in February, has held his form and had possible excuses, while also appearing as if he's well worth another go at 1m4f, so he's given a second look despite needing overall improvement. |

7th 3 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Two novice wins on turf and he made it 3-6 when scoring at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in February on his second handicap start; solid fourth to The Glen Rovers at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last month and, while improvement is necessary today, this is just his ninth run and he may have more left in the tank. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 9lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year; back to near his best when eighth of 20 at Royal Ascot (2m4f) but he needs to hit a new high if he's to win this. |
16/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 9lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year; not nearly so good in his two races back on turf but his recent run at Epsom (1m2f) should have teed him up nicely for this; current mark and tactical issues coming from the rear are the chief worries. |
12/1 |

10th 5 (17) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft, much more to prove on soft; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 10lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year, prior to tailing off at 50-1 in the Group 3 Ormonde at Chester four weeks ago; he's not on a bad mark but plenty needs to go right if one of his late rushes is to prevail in this. |

9st 9lb |
Record in AW handicaps for Denis Quinn since last June reads 5112151113, including two wins over C&D; ran right up to his best when third of 11 in an even stronger contest here five weeks ago; major player on first start for John Ryan (same owner) while Jack Dace is 1-1 on him. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Record in AW handicaps since last June reads 511215111; finished strongly from the rear to collar Qitaal (who finished third) near the line and shade a blanket finish over C&D last time; has to enter calculations again off only 2lb higher. |
5/1 |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Record in AW handicaps since last June reads 51121511 including an emphatic win over C&D; off since winning by a nose at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in December and now 8lb higher, but still hard to leave him out of calculations. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to build on a decent fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) in February when behind Blue Rc at Newcastle (1m) on Good Friday but the fact he made all in this race off 8lb lower last year means a revival can't be discounted, particularly as he's well drawn to attack again; tongue-tied first time. |
13/2 |
|
8th 9 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Quiet in Dubai in January but he returned to Britain with a good fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) five weeks ago; now 6lb lower than when winning the Thirsk Hunt Cup last May and he has the ability to feature. |
25/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Often front runs; below par in three outings at Meydan last month (including dirt) but well treated if a return to Britain sparks a revival having landed last year's Thirsk Hunt Cup off 6lb higher; Tapeta winner at the start of his career. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
His 19 course starts have yielded five places and a win over 1m4f back in 2023 but he hasn't been at his best on turf here the last twice; back on a good mark but need to see more. |
20/1 |
|
12th 14 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
18 starts here have yielded five places and a win over 1m4f back in 2023, although he wasn't at his best when beating one home in this race last year; in fair form over this trip on AW in the spring but his return to turf, when beaten 8l over 1m4f here one month ago, will need improving on. |
20/1 |

5th 11 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner in 2023; no joy anywhere last season (mostly at this track) but the closest he came was a neck defeat here (1m2f; 4lb higher today) on final start; not far away on AW last three starts this year and the same may be possible on today's return to turf. |

10st 2lb |
Took form to new level when collecting good prize on AW in January, his 14th career success; below best on turf lately but might be perked up by a change of headgear here and is too well handicapped to rule out. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
7yo whose losing sequence goes back 21 races to September 2024 but he went close behind Yermanthere over C&D (good) last month and was a good third at Ayr (1m2f, good) last time; might not be far away. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
It's now 20 outings since his last victory; his run of good form came to an end when just third of five in 1m2f Beverley handicap 12 days ago; the sort to bounce back though. |
5/1 |

3rd 4 (5) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |

All three of his wins have been on ground slower than good but he does act on quick ground; went close at Ripon (1m2f, good) five days ago and steps back up in grade slightly with good claims. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Two 1m wins on turf last season and added another on AW at Lingfield (1m2f) in December; however, he needs to produce a bigger performance than he's managed across his four outings this year. |
40/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Lingfield (AW) in December on first crack at 1m2f and raced wide when sixth of 14 at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last month; this two-time turf winner remains unexposed at today's trip and is not ruled out. |
7/1 |

6th 8 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Lingfield (Polytrack) in December on first crack at 1m2f; another big run when third of five in Listed race there (1m2f) next time; bounced back from lesser run when staying on for seventh of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) recently and he could be in the mix now back up in trip. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
2-17 on turf for Tim Easterby; well held switched to AW on first three runs for current yard but he raised his game with a solid third over C&D two weeks ago; ties in with Influential on that form and has claims if he can build on that. |
10/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

2-17 on turf for Tim Easterby, but unplaced in three starts on Polytrack (1m/1m2f) since joining this yard; down again in grade, but a longer trip back on grass may be what he needs. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Now 1lb lower than for his Ascot win last summer (1m6f, good to firm) but that is a result of some modest efforts this year, including when back over more suitable trips on his last three starts; others look safer. |
14/1 |

7th 7 (2) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice last year, notably a 1m6f handicap at Ascot in July off a 1lb lower mark; well held in five starts since December but this trip more suitable than those he has been tackling and the return of the tongue tie could help; betting should be revealing. |
12/1 |

10th 5 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins last year, but hasn't beaten many in four starts over 1m-2m on the AW since returning from over five months off in December; slipping back down the weights, but probably best watched for now; stable also runs Vaguely Royal. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won 23-runner November Handicap (1m4f, soft) in 2024 and he's 2-3 here (1m2f and 1m4f) including a win on good to soft last September; those are the clear positives but he's been poor in three starts at 1m2f (snow/AW/good) this year; has a tempting mark if he can stage a revival, so needs a market check. |

9th 1 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
A very useful 1m2f/1m4f winner at his best but lightly raced in recent seasons and came in last of 11 in 1m2f AW Lingfield handicap in February; needs to take a big step forward after a break. |
25/1 |
|
11th 2 (7) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
2024 November Handicap winner who reappeared with an easy win over 1m2f at Epsom last September; respectable sixth of 22 when bidding to defend his November Handicap crown on sole subsequent start last year; well-beaten fifth on the snow at St Moritz on return last weekend; entitled to come on for that outing but this test might be sharp enough for him. |
