29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Won Musselburgh handicap (1m1f, good) in April in good style but has come up short since, soundly beaten behind Blue Bolt in Group 2 at Ascot and fading when fifth to Calendar Girl in Listed race at Haydock on last two starts; needs a career best and seems to have plateaued. |

5th 6 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Won Musselburgh handicap (1m1f, good) in good style in April but has since come up short in Listed race here and Group 2 at Ascot (1m, good to firm; last of 15); will need a career best but she's relatively low mileage. |
14/1 |

15th 13 (3) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
She is on her third trainer but has won half of her eight starts, most recently when picking up a Musselburgh handicap (1m1f, good) on her comeback in April; showed she belongs at Listed level when beaten 2l at Haydock (10.5f, good to soft) last time but, while she continues to make strides, this is a different test altogether. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Six wins last season included one over C&D; went close at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in June and Ayr (1m, good) last month, before landing a 0-80 at York (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago; steps back up in grade but can't be discounted. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent type who won six times last season and arrives on the back of two close seconds; this race looks deeper than his last two but he's in fine form and unlikely to be far away. |
8/1 |

2nd 11 (9) |

Scored six times, mostly at Ayr, last season; beaten only a neck, despite being out 4lb of the weights, at Musselburgh five days ago; holds a fighting chance, back off proper mark. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Won this year's Thirsk Hunt Cup off 2lb higher; broadly not in the same form since, even when he was joint-favourite for the Summer Cup back at same venue on penultimate start. |
8/1 |
|
9th 12 (16) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Two wins last year (1m, good to firm/good to soft; he's possibly okay on soft) and added another off this mark at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May; however, he's finished no better than seventh across his five runs since. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent and his losing sequence is up to 11 races; however, he was a close third off this reduced mark at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last time and is an each-way contender if backing up that performance. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Can lead; 2-2 on this course in 2025, over 1m (good to soft) and 1m1f (good) but he hasn't been at full strength this year, including when back over C&D in April; this is a drop in grade from Newmarket in May but a complete revival is up in the air; yard runs two. |
12/1 |

8th 13 (4) |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner who was runner-up in the 2024 Cambridgeshire but has been lightly raced since; his keeping-on fifth of 12 over 1m1f at Musselburgh in April suggests most of that ability remains but he failed to build on it tackling 1m2f for the first time when fourth at Redcar (good to firm) four weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces worn at Redcar are retained. |
13/2 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in the Cambridgeshire (1m1f) in September 2024 and he's raced just four times since; denied clear run when keeping on for fifth of 12 at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) recently and the return to 1m2f is worth a go; could have a part to play in first-time cheekpieces. |
13/2 |
|
5th 4 (6) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins at about 1m and finished runner-up in the 2024 Cambridgeshire, but lightly raced since; not beaten far into fourth of ten at Kempton (1m, AW) last time, but still 5lb above his last winning mark and doesn't look solid back from another short break; stable also runs Noche Clasica. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Seemed disappointing last time but perhaps had an issue as a tongue-tie is now fitted; has plenty of respectable handicap form otherwise and was an unlucky third in the Thirsk Hunt Cup earlier in May; not written off. |
14/1 |
|
18th 11 (3) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Yarmouth (1m1f, soft) last September on final 3yo start and returned to form when third to Mirsky in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago in reapplied cheekpieces (retained), which he may well have won granted a clear run; lightly raced and in top hands; firmly in calculations. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won a Nottingham maiden (1m, good) and a Yarmouth handicap (1m1f, soft) last year; respectable sixth (Mirsky third) of 12 in 1m1f Musselburgh handicap on reappearance three weeks ago; wandered around a little under pressure there and now refitted with the cheekpieces he wore once last season; could resume his progression and much respected from a handy inside stall. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ran okay in a Class 2 AW handicap last time as that race didn't go to plan; exposed but he's on a career-low mark and has won on soft ground; couldn't put a line through him. |
12/1 |
|
8th 13 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |

Infrequent winner but is 2-4 on Tapeta, his latest win coming from 3lb lower at Newcastle (1m2f) last September; could go well at a price. |
16/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
He's won just one of his last 23 starts and has failed to fire on his last two outings; however, he had a tough assignment in the John Smith's Cup at York last Saturday and he's dropped to a handy mark; runner-up to the 4-7 favourite in this race last year and he's not ruled out. |

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 |

6th 3 (8) |
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. |

Probably on a high enough mark but he's gone close in last two races and travelled much the best last time at Hamilton (1m1f, good); he'll enjoy this softer ground; considered. |

2nd 5 (13) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |

Winner of his first three starts in 2025, including here over 8.5f (good), and also went close on heavy ground at Goodwood (1m; first-time cheekpieces) last July; below his best on his first two starts this year but bounced back when runner-up at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) in June; contender. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

18 visits to Ayr have yielded nine wins, the latest last September; the return to Ayr could be the catalyst for a big run but he's struggled at Musselburgh and Thirsk this year and a major turnaround is needed from this 12yo. |

Sprung a 66-1 surprise in this on good to firm in 2022 (also fourth in 2024); added career win number 17, as an 11yo, at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September but arrives with something to prove after finishing tailed off behind a couple of these on his Musselburgh reappearance. |
