27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
3-4 on the AW and was only beaten a neck at Yarmouth (1m, soft) last time; makes his stable debut after 78 days off having changed hands for 20,000gns last month, but a stiffer test than this may suit him better now. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 3-4 on the AW when winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March but below that level in two starts on turf since, including when last of his group of five at Newmarket (1m; first-time cheekpieces) 39 days ago; cheekpieces discarded. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Seems more effective on AW (3-4) than turf (1-9) and finished down the field in the Spring Mile at Doncaster (14-1) five weeks ago; now has cheekpieces to accompany the usual tongue-strap. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three course wins (6f-1m) and a multitude of placed efforts, including a close third to Saytaar (Harry The Rogue second) over C&D in March; has struggled on turf in his last three appearances (7.5f-1m2f) but his mark has eased accordingly. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
All three wins from 36 starts have been on the AW at Newcastle (6f/1m); solid effort when third at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month but he needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Pontefract (1m) three weeks ago; has stamina to prove for this longer trip. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner but a 7lb rise for winning so well at Pontefract triggered a career-high mark off which he disappointed back there two weeks ago; handles good to soft but slower ground asks questions of him. |

7th 3 (3) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m, good) in June on first course visit; no match for the winner when second here (1m, good to firm) next time but he returned to winning ways in commanding fashion over today's C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; a 7lb rise takes him to a career-high mark but he has to be respected. |

26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |

Back down to 1m when first and second in his last two outings, on his only appearances at this track; an in-form candidate who has plenty of earlier form at 1m2f, including an AW win; respected. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Had three of these behind when winning this last year off 11lb lower (good to firm); looks even better now, probably not seen to best effect behind Sportingsilvermine at Newmarket before a sterling effort at Glorious Goodwood over an inadequate 1m2f; likes it here and he's hard to knock. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Runner-up in 2024 on his only appearance at this track; reliable sort who hit new heights over 1m4f on last three outings, so this drop back in trip asks a question but he needs respect. |

3rd 7 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Reliable and progressive on a variety of ground and courses, although has never raced at Newmarket; third in this race last year; hit new heights at Epsom (1m4f) on last two outings and makes each-way appeal. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
She's 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in February and when running well at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June; she's 0-12 on turf and unproven at this trip, and she's been below par at favourite course Newcastle on her last two starts (1m). |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Took this in 2025 and also scored over C&D in February; not at her best when 11th over C&D last time but she's the sort to bounce back. |

Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year, who ran well when seventh of 24 in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot last week; she's below her last winning mark and has strong claims back down in grade. |

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
7-24 with his last win coming when joined on the line at Ripon (1m, good; 3-1 favourite) in April 2025; struggled on AW through the winter (0-4), and was pestered for the lead, weakening to finish fifth (beaten 8l), at Ripon five weeks ago; an easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |

Dead-heated over C&D (good) last April and went very close at Carlisle in June; well handicapped on that form but a long way below his best on AW this year; the return to turf needs to trigger a major revival. |

Won twice over 7f this time last year for Mick Appleby and is 8lb lower than when successful at Ascot on the second occasion, but six starts for this yard so far this year leave plenty to be desired; others safer. |

Sits on last winning mark (Ayr, 1m) and has held his form well, finding one stronger in three of his last four, including when picked off inside the final furlong at Doncaster (7f; 11-1) recently; is a modest 1-22 on AW. |
