11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
The winner of 14 of his 48 starts, including two 5f handicaps this season; dropped away when seventh to King Of Light over 6f at Windsor 12 days ago; others look better handicapped. |
16/1 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Course specialist; in prime form, having won at Bath before suffering a luckless run on this track, then a convincing winner here (also 5f, good to soft; acts well on good to firm) since; that trip seems to suit best though and he has more to prove off 6lb higher in a better race. |
100/30 |

1st 4 (3) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Useful strike-rate and 4-6 over 5f for Oisin Murphy; can lead; versatile regarding tracks but he won his first two C&D starts (including this race when 3lb higher) and gave the principals too much rope back here in May, albeit he still found only an improved one too good; best form on good or quicker ground and rarely asked to tackle slower surfaces. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Did well for new yard last autumn, winning three times (5f, AW/good to soft), and he has run some solid races in defeat in 2026; this will be just his third run at 6f and others bring more pressing claims. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Did well for new yard last autumn, winning three times (5f, AW/good to soft), and he returned to form when second of six at Bath (5f, good) recently; however, he may prove vulnerable in this hotter contest. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Has a very good C&D record with three wins (all good to firm) last term; had dipped below her last winning mark when attempting to make it four three weeks ago, so her sixth of seven behind Powdering was underwhelming; dropped a further 2lb and she's not readily dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Front-running C&D hat-trick on good to firm last summer started with a win in this race; as good as ever in 5f events at Bath this year and a subsequent Listed defeat on good to soft at Haydock (28-1) can be glossed over; yard also won this in 2022 and she's likely to be on her game. |
11/2 |

13th 1 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Completed 6f Newmarket handicap hat-trick last summer (good to firm); kept on well for fifth of 14 in Listed race at Bath (5f, good) last month and close third in handicap there (5f, good) latest; has run well on heavy ground here; improvement needed but the return to 6f can suit; not ruled out. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Just a respectable sixth when well drawn over C&D last month and again a beaten favourite when fourth of seven at Nottingham (5f, good) a fortnight ago; well suited by ground slower than good but probably needs some help from the new cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
In good form for most of 2025, winning two 5f handicaps last spring; not quite hit those heights this time around, including from a good draw at Chester 24 days ago (met some trouble in the home straight); today's drop into a Class 4 will help and she is back against her own sex; should go well. |
11/4 |
|
6th 11 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has gained all wins in spring, the most recent off current mark at Goodwood (5f, good) last May; finished nicely for close fourth at Bath (wore hood) on Monday with reappearance under her belt; fighting chance from a handy draw. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Six wins and five seconds from 17 AW runs; unplaced on turf on his last two starts and although this scenario will suit better, a few others look better handicapped. |
14/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 6-17 on AW includes two wins in a consistent 2026 campaign; not disgraced back on turf last time but finished only fifth of six and took record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Close third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month and another good run when runner-up at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) latest; contender. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Six-time winner who is dangerous at this level; just 1lb higher than for his AW win in March and he was back at that level when a close third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; this is his first visit to Brighton but likely to be in the thick of the action. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D scorer; not seen to best effect on his last three runs since scoring at Wolverhampton (5f) in March, going too freely from an outside draw when last of six at Bath (5f) last time; interesting from an easing mark. |
