11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Likeable 5yo who has a strike-rate of 7-19 and was runner-up behind an impressive winner in a Listed race at Haydock (7f, good) in May; should be in the mix again and his only previous visit to Chester resulted in a C&D win. |
13/2 |

2nd 7 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Likeable 5yo with a good (7-18) strike-rate; shaped well in Listed event at Doncaster on reappearance and dug deep to win conditions race at Thirsk (7f, good) next time; may not have reached his ceiling and is high on the list. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Most progressive in the last couple of years, winning six 7f handicaps, with the first gained off of a rating of 67; another career-best effort when second in 7f Redcar Listed race (good to soft) on his final 4yo start; should be spot on for this after finishing fifth of 12 in a 6f Doncaster Listed event on his reappearance 13 days ago. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Group 2 in Ireland in July 2024; not added to that success since but he has run well in two of his three starts this time round, latterly finishing third of eight in a Group 3 at Epsom (7f, good to soft); drops in trip for his AW debut. |

3rd 6 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Group 2 winner at the Curragh (7f, good) in July 2024 and runner-up in two 7f Group races last autumn (very soft/good); not at his best on his two runs this season but each-way claims if back on song today. |
9/1 |

5th 9 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
7f specialist, a Group 2 winner in July 2024; below best when finding Myal just too strong in conditions event at Thirsk (7f, good; 15-8 favourite) on return; may build on that but he's 4lb worse off with that rival here. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Looked a good prospect when making all in a 1m Newmarket maiden (good to soft) in September 2024; reappeared only three weeks ago but made eye-catching late gains to finish a close third in that strong conditions stakes at Thirsk (7f, good; 12-1); this race demands far more but return to 1m (he looks bred for further still) will help and he should be capable of better. |
14/1 |

3rd 8 (6) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Looked a good prospect when making all in a 1m Newmarket maiden (good to soft) in September 2024 but hasn't been seen since; could be the sort to make up for lost time this year but this is a big ask on only his third start after such a long absence; has been gelded. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 3-9 includes two wins at the Newmarket tracks; good second, beaten only a neck, in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently; due to go up 3lb in future; strong contender. |
7/2 |

2nd 6 (31) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who was 3-5 last term, readily winning at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) final start; hindered by racing alone returned to that C&D last time; may still have more to offer and can't be written off; Billy Loughnane (up for first time) is a booking of note. |
14/1 |

4th 1 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 3-6 when winning a C&D handicap (good to firm) last September, making virtually all; gelded subsequently; reappeared with close fourth of eight in conditions race at Thirsk (7f, good) three weeks ago and could show the benefit of that outing today; this 4yo is firmly in calculations. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
A superstar down the years and he's quite well treated again now but all his handicap wins at 7f and 1m have been on downhill tracks on good to soft or slower ground; better days ahead once the rains come. |
16/1 |
|
11th 2 (13) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Down the field in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) last month but promising reappearance there (7f, good) previously; won this race in 2021 (good to soft) and 2024 (good to soft) and was third last year (good to soft); this week's rain has been in his favour and he's on a dangerous mark. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Running in this for the third time, finishing second in 2023 and 2025; on both occasions he arrived on the back of a 7f win at Kempton and he landed that same race yet again 23 days ago; should give it another good shot. |

18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
James Doyle is 5-5 on him, three of those successes coming in this race (2023, 2024 and 2025); he's 2lb lower than last year but weakened into last place when back in a handicap over track and trip ten weeks ago. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Listed winner at Deauville (7f, AW) last November and defied lofty mark in Kempton handicap (7f, AW) in March; also effective on turf and was second of six in a good conditions race at Thirsk last month; however, this 6yo needs to be better than ever if he's to take this. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has won over 1m but raced mainly at 7f; not solid on 2026 form and he came up short when a 50-1 shot in big field at York most recently; opposed in another competitive race, back up in trip. |
25/1 |

He won two 7f handicaps last season and took a step back in the right direction with close sixth of 12 at Haydock in April; however, well beaten at Newmarket since and others arrive with less to prove. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Commenced his career with a novice double, looking a smart prospect; disappointing in his three races (Group/conditions) since, gelded prior to latest, but is on an attractive mark assuming another physical tweak (wind surgery) prompts a turnaround and fulfilment of the early promise. |
9/1 |

8th 7 (5) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won 1m novices on good to firm on his first two outings, on the second occasion making all by a whopping 14l at Newmarket; didn't confirm that abundant promise in two subsequent Group races (including 5.5l behind Poet Master at Newmarket) but still very early days and could easily resume his progression on this reappearance having been gelded. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Flopped in French Group 3 when bidding to take record to 3-3 (all over 1m) but gives the impression this drop in trip is worth exploring; may do better still; not written off. |
