5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced on ground softer than good; Chester maiden (7.5f) winner who made all on Newmarket's July course last August; had been gelded when successfully repeating those tactics on his comeback at Newmarket (also 1m) in April but below that form back there at the Guineas meeting the following month; not dismissed, with Oisin Murphy sticking with him. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Down the field when 33-1 in C&D Cambridgeshire last September, before being gelded; however, he was reliable and progressive earlier last season and reappeared with a front-running 1m win here (favourite) 18 days ago; has 5lb penalty (same as his revised mark) but needs plenty of respect. |

1st 4 (2) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Easily made all in small field on the other Newmarket course in August on just his second handicap start; after a 10lb rise he turned in a respectable fourth of 11 at Goodwood (also 1m) a fortnight later but was down the field here in September's Cambridgeshire (1m1f, also good to firm); has been gelded and might have more to offer this term. |

9st 7lb |
Talented mare who ran well in Listed and Group events last season and was runner-up in a Class 2 handicap at Newmarket (1m, good) on her reappearance last month; should go well again but she has a bit to find on these figures and her last win was in July 2024. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Novice and handicap (7f) winner on AW here, latterly in December when sporting first-time blinkers (retained); respectable ninth of 21 when 66-1 for the Lincoln in March and it was another solid effort when third in Class 2 handicap (1m, good) at Newmarket's Craven meeting; can't be ruled out. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 (6) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time winner including of a good-ground 1m handicap in June 2024; first-time blinkers when doing well to win 7f AW handicap (now just 1lb higher) narrowly in December; low-key AW return in March but it was a fair effort when ninth in the Lincoln (1m, good to soft) three weeks later; fitness guaranteed. |
14/1 |
|
9th 20 (11) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last September and at Lingfield (7f, AW) in December, and he scored over 1m in 2024; however, he has an up-and-down profile and was well beaten on his reappearance three weeks ago (8.6f, AW); this is tougher than he's used to and he may be best watched. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Very useful for Richard Hughes, including third in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, soft) on last year's reappearance; failed to back that up in two subsequent outings in 2025 but added to his solid record fresh when fourth on 1m Newmarket return for new yard 23 days ago; classy but needs to show he can still string good efforts together now. |
4/1 |

4th 3 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won a 1m1f handicap here in September 2023; didn't get going the following term but returned from a year's absence with fine third of 15 in Goodwood's Golden Mile (1m, soft) last August; weakened when favourite for the Cambridgeshire here (1m1f, good to firm) the following month and he left Richard Hughes after beating two home at Kempton (AW) in November; stable debut. |
5/1 |

16th 13 (22) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |

5yo who has been lightly raced since his easy win over C&D (good to firm) in September 2023; returned from a year off with very creditable third of 15 in the Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (1m, soft) 57 days ago and he could build on that performance today; chance. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Unraced on softer than good; failed to make a significant impact in his first four handicaps but did so at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) on latest outing, running on well into a close third of 12 off today's mark; return to 1m2f could help and he needs a second look. |
10/1 |

3rd 10 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Windsor maiden winner for the Gosdens last April, followed by a 1m3f Listed third and big-money sale; only mid-division in his four handicaps since, 20-1 off this mark behind Mr Winston here (1m) on reappearance; back up by a furlong but others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (10) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Windsor maiden winner for the Gosdens last spring; out of the frame in three 1m2f handicaps, including two for this yard, but wasn't beaten far on stable debut at York (good) in September (gelded since) when wearing cheekpieces; disappointed on AW when last seen in November and goes without headgear again but he's not fully exposed and this drop down in trip might help. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
10yo who won this in 2023; frequently runs well in quality handicaps and he's 5lb lower than when a cracking third in the Royal Hunt Cup last June; scratched from the Lincoln when running a temperature on his intended comeback last month and he tends to improve for a run these days; also winless since 2023. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
9yo who has drawn a blank since winning on the July Course in summer 2023 and needs everything to drop right but he often runs extremely well in defeat, including when third in the Royal Hunt Cup in June; another respectable effort when sixth of 20 in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good) a fortnight ago; not discounted in this slightly easier race. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Versatile regarding ground and he was winning his 12th race when beating Jimmy Speaking and Final Night at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; that was a comfortable win and he has the assistance of Ryan Moore but this demands more from him (has never won off a mark this high). |
14/1 |
|
1st 1 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Having dropped 1lb below his last winning mark he returned to form when third of 13 over C&D a fortnight ago (good to firm; Final Night second); he can be in the mix back up 1lb if backing up that latest performance. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Fine stable servant with 11 wins to his name, although recent efforts have been underwhelming; only seventh of ten at the Craven meeting here and he needs to be revived by the presence of Ryan Moore in the saddle. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won two 1m races (good) in Ireland last year; has needed both runs for this yard but stepped up on reappearance when just ahead of the hampered City Of Poets over C&D a fortnight ago; another advance is possible but needed. |
16/1 |

8th 10 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Pair of 1m wins on good ground in Ireland last summer, namely a Naas maiden (wore cheekpieces) and Curragh handicap (visored); low-mileage new recruit for Declan Carroll but he'll need to leave last month's Newmarket reappearance with a tongue-tie added (retained) well behind to play a leading role here. |
25/1 |
|
8th 5 (4) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Third attempt when cheekpieces were applied in a Naas maiden, seeing it out well to turn over a long-odds on favourite (pair clear) in June; left Dermot Weld for 95,000euros after winning Curragh handicap (also 1m, good; first-time visor) in August; up 7lb and a tongue-tie is today's aid of choice for this stable/seasonal debut; unexposed. |

8st 12lb |
Good seventh of 23 here in the Cambridgeshire when second home on his side; not much went right on UAE debut at Meydan (1m, good) in January but he was a solid fifth of 16 over that C&D a fortnight later and is now back down to his last winning mark; C&D winner who looks a key player. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won two in a row in May (1m, good; including here); merely midfield at Goodwood 34 days ago but that was his first run for three months and he may have needed it; not discounted in view of previous, progressive form. |

8st 9lb |
Both wins came over 1m2f in the spring of 2024, including here; 0-18 subsequently and he's still 7lb above his last winning mark, but he goes well fresh (has won after a longer break) and finished third on his comeback in this race last year; likely to be competitive. |

3rd 4 (8) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Has run some really good races in defeat this season, including over C&D on good/good to firm; latest soft-ground Ascot second (Grizedale third) shows he's still in form but he's been beaten on his last 17 starts and suspicion he might find at least one too strong again. |
