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. |
16/1 |

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. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Acts on good to soft but soft would be a worry; tricky to settle and is held up in rear (a good pace would help) but he's 2-4 at Doncaster; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f) last October and looked just as good on most handicap starts since; fifth of 22 in the 1m6f Ebor at York last time, with Ascending fourth as they both made late gains; player in below-par renewal. |
7/2 |
|
5th 15 (21) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft but soft would be a worry; tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f; 10lb higher today) last October and he's looked just as good on most starts since, without winning but late traffic woes seemingly prevented him from going close last time; without his usual jockey Billy Loughnane today but he was a close second last term under Clifford Lee; probably involved if he can get the breaks. |

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 |

1st 3 (10) |
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 |
9st 5lb |
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. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Dual AW winner (1m-1m4f); improved form when winning at York (10.5f, Class 4; 18-1, from 4lb lower) in July, and backed that up when creditable sixth in a Heritage Handicap (33-1) next time; less effective on soft at Ayr (1m2f; seventh of 11) five weeks ago; others preferred. |
14/1 |

7th 4 (6) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Campaigned at York of late, winning in July then running creditably at the Ebor festival; disappointing when back down in class last time; contrasting results (close third; only midfield) in this race for the last two years. |
14/1 |
|
13th 10 (2) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
A regular over C&D and was beaten only a length in this last year; won here in July and his close sixth two weeks ago (good to soft; just behind Castle Stuart) can be upgraded as he came from a long way back; exposed but respected. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Multiple winner on AW/turf, most recently off current mark at Chester in July; however, this is a better race and he has inconsistent figures otherwise in 2026. |

8th 3 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Returning to AW should be in his favour but there isn't much room for error off this mark and the 1m4f trip is a concern. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended long losing run with emphatic 1m2f success early last month on his only appearance at this track; reverted to lesser displays on his two starts since but has another change of headgear (first blinkers) and isn't dismissed back at Newcastle. |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 (9) |
23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Ended long losing run with emphatic success at Newcastle (1m2f) this month; still on a workable mark after 4lb rise and recent defeat on soft turf is not viewed harshly; no surprise if he features. |
12/1 |
|
7th 10 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Three-time turf winner who was well on top last week in a 1m2f Class 5 at Newcastle where the visor returned; back up 4lb in stronger company but he has won here and might not be far away. |

Last success was off 7lb higher at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last December; best recent run when beaten 2l into third over this C&D last month; holds place claims. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Two 1m wins on turf (good to firm/good) last year and later won over 1m2f on the Polytrack; well treated on the pick of that form but he's been quiet this year and was well held back from a break at York 16 days ago; needs to raise his game. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Running well off a reduced mark prior to winning at Sandown (1m, good to firm) last month, and another good run when third of eight at Windsor (1m, soft) last time; he might not be far away. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had dropped to a good mark prior to making all in a lower grade at Sandown (1m, good to firm); solid chance off 3lb lower and goes on all ground. |
7/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
His losing run is up to 13 and he's not as good as he was, but off a reduced mark he's run well to be third on his last three outings, over C&D (good to firm) last time after a two-month break; could be thereabouts. |

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. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Proved somewhat resurgent in the Epsom race won by Too Soon and looks a possible danger provided he builds on that effort; useful on his day and peak form includes a success in the 2024 November Handicap. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (17) |
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. |
20/1 |
|
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. |
