3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Little margin for error off this mark and this is a deeper race than the Lingfield handicap (5f, AW) in which he finished second three weeks ago; the new tongue-tie needs to have a positive effect. |
8/1 |

2nd 4 (2) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Fine on the AW but has done most winning on turf and remains weighted to his best after a couple of victories in early summer, latterly off 1lb lower; others make greater appeal. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Had a good spell over 5f for this yard last autumn, winning three times on AW and turf (good to soft); he's found it harder since and although there isn't much between him and Toyotomi on 6f form at Goodwood in June he was beaten a bit too far for reassurance at Hamilton recently. |
16/1 |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won three times last autumn (5f, AW/good to soft) and has run some solid races in defeat this year, including at Goodwood (soft) latest 75 days ago; a positive jockey booking and the recent rain was welcomed. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Justified favouritism at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) recently and remains well treated back up just 2lb; however, her last four wins have come at the same venue and she has something to prove on her first run here. |
8/1 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Often leads and her last three wins have been over C&D, including in this race last year; finished down the field in last four runs but this is a drop back in grade and she's now 7lb lower than for her last success; one to keep an eye on. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Often a front-runner; 2-4 on the AW and 6lb lower than when last successful, but her losing run is now up to 13 despite a sliding mark; in the frame in all four goes at this trip, but looks best over 5f. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Did well as a 3yo, including over C&D, but she hasn't added to her tally in six runs this year; recent third at Epsom (6f, good to firm) on her stable debut was a good run and she's a key player back down in trip. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Developed into useful 5f performer for Newland-Insole stable last year but is yet to hit top gear after five runs this season; makes stable debut debut from a tempting mark and should be okay back at 6f but needs to have been reinvigorated by her new regime; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
His six AW wins (two on Tapeta) for Robert Cowell came off lower marks, but was only beaten a nose off this rating over C&D in the spring; patchy on turf lately but didn't enjoy Catterick last time and will be happier back on the AW. |
10/1 |

6th 1 (6) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
All six of his wins have been on the AW for Robert Cowell, but he was narrowly defeated in a bunched finish on his stable at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago; on the same mark today and drops in grade with good claims. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
6-18 on AW but 0-10 on turf when trained by Robert Cowell; sold for 27,000gns after disappointing AW run in June; makes stable debut from a workable mark but others in this field have more pressing claims. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
String of consistent efforts before winning off 3lb lower in a less-competitive Nottingham handicap last month; found it beyond him under a penalty a few days later and, while he's fine round here, he's weighted to his best again. |
6/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Right behind Accrual here before justifying favouritism at Nottingham (5f) three days ago despite an awkward start; the penalty might just find him out. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ultra-consistent and arrives following a solid effort at Thirsk (same mark as tonight; his last winning rating); boasts a good record at this time of year and this is less competitive, so his claims are obvious. |
7/4 |
