9th 12 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Three-time AW scorer who prevailed at Ascot (1m, good to firm) back on turf last time, looking better than ever, and remains unexposed in this sphere; upped in class but receives weight all round; possible danger. |
14/1 |

1st 11 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Won three handicaps on the AW in January 2025 (1m-1m2f) and showed that he's still on a fair mark with a second at Kempton on final run this January; however, this is tougher than he's accustomed to and has to prove himself on turf. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Reeled off a quick hat-trick last January (1m-1m2f); absent for ten months afterwards and finished well beaten on his reappearance; latest Lingfield run was better and he could be building up to something bigger. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has gained all wins on Newcastle AW, the most recent on finals day last year; however, ran well at Ascot (1m, good to firm) returned to turf last time, taking form figures in this sphere to 3232; seems effective over 7f and may remain competitive. |
33/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
All four wins have been on the AW at Newcastle, including a hat-trick early last year; back on his last winning mark and he did chase a strong pace last time (in a race he won 12 months earlier) before folding late on; lightly raced on turf. |
8/1 |
|
10th 7 (6) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
He was completing a C&D hat-trick when winning the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 3lb lower mark; not at his best in two runs this year (following a gelding operation) and he needs to raise his game. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hugely progressive for his new stable at the start of the year, winning handicaps at Southwell (7f/1m) before completing his hat-trick at Newcastle (1m); beaten on turf twice since but he is 0-10 in that sphere as opposed to 5-8 on AW; drawn widest but still of some interest. |
6/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
He won earlier this year on his first three starts for James Horton (7f/1m, AW); made it 0-9 on turf when 2l third of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago but that was still a positive run and he could be in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Five AW wins include this year's hat-trick on the Tapeta; raised a further 4lb for what was a narrow latest success (1m) but he's on a roll and no doubt a better horse now than when last seen on turf. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has some back-class but now 0-10 for this yard and the form he showed in initial outings last summer has not been repeated; edging down the weights but the jockey here on penultimate start reported that he hung badly; others are more convincing. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has some back-class but now 0-9 for this yard after beating one home on his return to 1m2f at Windsor 18 days ago; on the plus side, this bigger field might be more to his liking and in two previous visits to Sandown he's finished first and third; no surprise if he went well under Oisin Murphy, under whom he was fourth in last year's Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (on soft). |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Record of 0-8 for current yard but he is nicely treated on best form and latest effort ended a spell of duck eggs, while suggesting this step back up from 1m may prove beneficial, in keeping with 2023 achievements. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Both wins have been on AW and he went close in his bid for a double at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; never involved back on turf at Ascot in May but he started slowly and was hampered at a crucial stage; now goes back up in grade but he has possibilities back on Tapeta. |
15/2 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Only 2-16 but his third trainer has him in career-best form and didn't get the breaks when a closing fourth at Newcastle last time (1m); hold-up performer who needs a good pace to chase and if getting one he'll be dangerous. |
4/1 |
|
4th 12 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Coaxed back to form by his new trainer, twice placed over C&D before winning at Southwell in February; good second behind First Principle two weeks ago; another 2lb rise tempers enthusiasm slightly. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Won a 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday off this mark; another solid effort when a close sixth at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; more needed to come out on top here. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (16) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Two-time turf winner who scored at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April and is just 1lb higher here; however, he's finished unplaced on turf on his last three starts and needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |

7th 8 (9) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

Narrow winner of a competitive 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday; two midfield finishes this month and he will need a career best to come out on top in this field. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Both his wins have come on AW but he handles turf, albeit best grass runs have come on good going; two disappointing efforts since his Southwell win in April and others are more convincing. |
33/1 |
|
12th 10 (12) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Has gained both wins on AW, including on reappearance; has bits of fairly useful form on turf but produced one of his lesser efforts last time, taking record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Has a suitable scenario as his form over C&D includes a win last summer and he turned in a resurgent effort on latest outing; has something to prove at this level, however, having raced only in lower grades. |
40/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Yard having a quiet year thus far and this gelding is a deal higher (12lb) in the weights than when winning this in first-time cheekpieces 12 months ago; not in much form this season and has to prove this mark is within range on turf. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Defied this mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last October but he's been out of sorts at Newmarket and Ascot in his two runs this season; now drops back in grade but he's 1-13 on turf and others are more convincing; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Last year's wins were at about 1m and hasn't raced over 7f since his debut; quiet this season after a gelding operation and others appeal more; cheekpieces, in which he has form figures of 100, now return. |
25/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

9th 8 (10) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Tailed off in two races since winning off 7lb lower at Newbury last August (1m; in first-time cheekpieces which are now absent); might be high enough in the ratings even if all the better for being gelded; absent since October. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
All seven wins have been on AW and latest was over C&D in January; found more progress when a close third off this mark at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in April but he's been tailed off back on turf in last two runs; now returns to scene of his last success but he needs to bounce back near best. |
16/1 |

22th 7 (22) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time AW scorer, mainly over 1m, most recently in January; latest effort (failed to beat a rival) took turf record to 0-16; enough to prove back over 7f for first time in five years. |
33/1 |
|
11th 10 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Had the run of things when winning over Newcastle's 1m in January and has since finished behind both Dosman and Angel Hunter; goes to work today off his 8lb lower turf mark but that's because he's 0-15 on grass. |
