13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Successful for two previous yards and ran creditably at Ayr on debut for current stable; below par in two starts since but likely found 6f too sharp latest; returns to a more suitable distance. |
10/1 |

8th 8 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April (final start for Stuart Williams); good start for Jennie Candlish when third over 1m1f at Ayr (good to firm) but not in the same form when beaten favourite at Carlisle (1m) ten days later; quite a strong traveller over those trips but whether he has the speed for sprinting remains to be seen. |
10/1 |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April and, having run well over 1m2f in the past, he didn't have a problem with 1m1f when a close third, just behind Ayr Poet, at Ayr since on yard debut; remains on a career-high mark though so a shade more may be needed. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins last summer, including one over C&D, and got back to winning ways at Bath (1m, firm) eight days ago; was already due a 2lb drop then so is just 3lb higher under her penalty (1lb well in); one for the shortlist. |
5/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Back-to-back wins over this trip last summer; mostly ran with credit of late, including when lacking a change of gear after travelling well over 7f at Newbury eight days ago; runner-up sole visit here. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Course winner who is likely to have her ideal ground conditions, but still 3lb above her last winning mark and another furlong may have been preferable. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three good runs this season, the latest a second at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; competes off same mark and will be a tough nut to crack if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came in an AW juvenile novice in December 2024; has ran well to be third on both starts this year at Bath and Salisbury; this also represents a class drop and he shouldn't be far away. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 11 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Sole success came in a Kempton AW novice in December 2024; has been beaten in eight handicaps since, latest when a place behind Nakaaha when third of six at Bath (1m, firm) last month; no margin for error off this mark but should find a race soon. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has gained both wins on AW but that was the case with stablemate Cristo (declared 7:50) until he recently prevailed on turf; has posted inconsistent results since returned to this sphere, however, and isn't a solid option. |
9/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three fair efforts since returned to turf; two Wolverhampton wins early in the year came off lower marks in blinkers and he'll need a career-best to take this stepping back up from 1m. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Two AW wins (about 1m and 1m1f; made all) in January; had limitations in first three turf handicaps but he was a good second at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) 13 days ago and should have a good run in him, possibly from the front again; rarely races on slow ground but ran well on heavy as 2yo. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won a nursery off 4lb higher in 2024; below that level when confined to only three appearances last year and while his reappearance wasn't devoid of promise, his run at Newmarket was; goes beyond 1m2f for the first time. |
12/1 |

8th 3 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored on his AW/nursery debut in 2024 but wasn't competitive in just three starts last year; did gain plenty of market traction on the last of them, though, and last month's reappearance at Bath wasn't totally devoid of promise; tries 1m2f for just the second time and he's not fully exposed. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made a winning handicap debut in AW contest as a 2yo but failed to transfer the form back to turf last year; admittedly still has low mileage and may have a better 2026 campaign; heed the market signals. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Successful for two previous yards but holds weak claims on his efforts for current stable; campaigned mostly at about 1m and has enough to prove back up in trip; blinkers replace the cheekpieces worn last time. |

9th 6 (10) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Successful for two previous yards but holds weak claims on his two efforts for current stable; chance largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |

8th 5 (9) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all for both wins at around 1m on turf last year, each for a different stable; has run well on Tapeta, but Polytrack remains a question and he will need to do better than on his debut for this yard at Bath 15 days ago. |
16/1 |
