27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Thriving since the cheekpieces went on in December, winning six of his nine starts in them and that includes his last four races (on Southwell Tapeta four runs back); the big majority of those races were on AW, with a comfortable success at Lingfield last time (has never run at this track); up another 5lb and into a better race but he may well carry on the good work. |

Thriving in 2026 and he gamely made all when completing a hat-trick in 2m Goodwood handicap ten days ago; up another 2lb but this likeable dual C&D scorer is a big player once more. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won the 17-runner Chester Plate (2m2f, good) in May and beat Team Player by a nose to score at Newbury in July; another step forward when second in Shergar Cup race at Ascot (again 2m on good to firm) 11 days ago and a 1lb rise surely won't prevent another bold show. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 5 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won the 17-runner Chester Plate (2m2f, good) in May on return to turf and went in again last time at Newbury (2m, good to firm), where it was hard work in the end but he travelled strongly deep into the race; only 3lb higher and hasn't had a lot of racing. |
9/4 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Pretty consistent in seven AW runs and well backed when leading final 1f to win the 17-runner Chester Plate (2m2f, good) in May on return to turf; failed to live up to favouritism in another consolation race at Newcastle (2m Vase, AW) three weeks ago but that sixth of 20 off this mark was his best form, so he remains one to be interested in. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Without a Flat win since September 2023, but is now 4lb lower than when third of 14 in a stronger race over C&D in April and drops into 0-70 company for the first time; much respected, especially if allowed his own way in front. |

4th 6 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Without a Flat win since 2023 but was placed in valuable 2m AW handicap in April and didn't run badly when sixth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) last month; eased in grade here; can go well from the front. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |

Can set the pace; twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and a good third of 14 in competitive event at Lingfield (2m, also AW; Tarbat Ness sixth) on Good Friday; turf no problem and he should give a good account. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dual AW winner (1m/1m2f) who hasn't improved for the fitting of cheekpieces and needs to put a modest effort at Kempton (2m) 16 days ago behind her; not solid on turf debut. |
8/1 |
|
8th 6 (1) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a novice here and her one handicap win was on Newcastle AW; moved up from 1m4f to 2m for warm race at Lingfield (AW) eight weeks ago and, although below best, did not appear beaten by the trip as she plugged on into fourth of 14 with first-time cheekpieces; may have more to offer as a stayer. |
13/2 |

4th 9 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Lightly raced since her debut early last year, winning at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) and Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta); steps up another half-mile in trip, but she shapes like a stayer and is worthy of respect, especially if strong in the market; cheekpieces are given a go. |

10st 0lb |
All six wins have been on AW, the latest over C&D last November off 3lb lower; not so good on turf but was runner up at Carlisle (1m6f, good) last Tuesday which holds her in good stead for this return to AW. |
13/2 |

2nd 4 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |

A three-time AW scorer (at up to 1m6f) in 2025; largely in good form this season and recorded a solid third of 11 over C&D in June; not out of things after a break. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Struggled at York in July after winning his previous start by a wide margin at Carlisle (2m1f, good), but got back on track with a solid effort at Newmarket last time; he's 2-2 over this C&D, both coming earlier this year, and has to be considered. |
9/4 |

3rd 2 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (2m, AW) early this year and another at Carlisle (2m1f, good) last month; struggled at York last time but he had a wide draw and was badly hampered at a crucial stage; can put a line through that and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |
9/1 |

12th 7 (14) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |

Two wins at Newcastle (2m, AW) early this year and another at Carlisle (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; this 7yo is up 5lb to a career-high mark and everything dropped right last time, but he's nevertheless entitled to respect having won in fine style. |

Hurdle/chase winner who has won four times on the Flat since moving to current yard earlier this year; lacks recent match practice over jumps and that could count against him in this competitive a race. |
16/1 |

9th 14 (9) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |

12/1 |

2nd 11 (3) |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |

10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Has done best on AW, including three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f/2m) in the last six months; well held at Lingfield two weeks ago but has a modest record there; has won twice on turf, latterly on good ground at Bath (1m6f) last June but none of his turf form matches today's mark. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Something of a Wolverhampton specialist (3-5) though he has won on Polytrack at Kempton; the drop to 1m4f didn't help last time so the return to a longer distance should help, but his high draw may not be ideal even over this trip. |

Exploited a reduced mark to win at Chester (1m6f, good) last month and he followed up at York (2m, good to firm), both in this visor in which he's unexposed; remains well treated on his old form and he's a key player. |
11/2 |

1st 10 (4) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Some good runs in defeat this spring at up to 2m1f and he bounced back from his Newbury flop to win at Chester (1m6f, good) a fortnight ago; he was given a good ride last time but could still be a force today up 4lb. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Dual-purpose performer but his last Flat win was in December 2023; some creditable efforts off a falling mark on AW (2m) and turf (1m6f) this season but he was tailed off at Newbury last time and needs to bounce back after that; cheekpieces are removed and visor returns. |

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 |

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. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |

All eight wins have been on AW but he's lost his way with heavy defeats at Newcastle (12.4f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in last two runs; still lightly raced on turf but he needs a major revival back in this sphere. |

Three-time winner over 1m4f/1m5f here and Taryn Langley gets on well with him, but he has never attempted this far before and he must put an uncharacteristically poor effort at Newcastle 13 days ago behind him. |

Eleven wins include one over C&D (soft; equally effective on good to firm) on yard debut in June; back up 6lb but has won off slightly higher marks on the AW and his latest Sandown third, where he kept persevering, suggests he should be on the premises again. |
