19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Form figures under Chloe Lyons read 1212, that initial success over C&D (good) in May and the partnership scored again (by 6l) on the July course (7f) last month; was 2lb well in under a penalty when second over latter C&D (good to firm) one month ago but looks likely to give another good account. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 (9) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Has had plenty of racing since winning on the Rowley course (7f, good) under Chloe Lyons in May but he found something new when striding right away over this C&D (good to firm) on Saturday; due an 8lb rise so 3lb well in; much respected. |
9/4 |

1st 1 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
He was having just his second start on turf when a ready winner at the other Newmarket track (7f, good) in May; finished runner-up on his last three starts, twice over C&D including last time under Chloe Lyons, and now takes a drop in class; has to be considered. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Only contested seven handicaps and won four; would have gone close in Alpha Capture's race here last time had he broken on terms; chance. |
5/1 |

3rd 10 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins (including C&D) and a second from his six handicap runs; still has time to progress further and he looks a solid candidate once more. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Made it four out of five in handicaps when prevailing in a big field at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); this lightly raced 4yo is clearly progressive and should be a tough nut to crack. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
C&D winner on good to firm in July and made it 2-2 at Ascot when picking up well to collar the reopposing Dannick (8.5l back to the third) over 1m here (good) four weeks ago; more on his plate off 6lb higher but no reason why he won't give his running again. |
4/1 |
|
1st 7 (3) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Beat ten rivals to get off the mark over 7f here in July and remains in form, as wasn't beaten all that far at Glorious Goodwood before coming home strongly for a near miss at Brighton (1m, good to firm); firmly in the mix. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Belatedly came good with clearcut Ascot win (7f, good to firm) last month, his 12th start, and was not discredited when ninth in big-field sprint at Glorious Goodwood a week ago; will be suited by this return to 1m and may still have a bit more to offer. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All of his four AW wins have been at Southwell and latest was over C&D in May; well handicapped on that form but he's lost his way and was beaten 9l after a slow start at Wolverhampton last time; returns to his favoured track but he needs a major revival. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has secured all four wins at Southwell, the latest off 1lb lower in May; sure to be suited by this return to Tapeta but has questions to answer after two poor turf runs (6f/7.4f). |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
11lb beneath her last winning mark and has finished second in three of her last four races; perhaps not entirely straightforward (hung last time) but must have a chance. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
She's failed to shine on turf this year but has finished second at Wolverhampton on two of her last three starts (5f, AW) and she won here last summer; has a big part to play if the return to grass isn't an issue. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins for Ollie Sangster last year, including at this track (6f); best run for new yard when second in a C&D classified race last month and a subsequent defeat in a Newmarket Class 4 is easy to overlook; each-way shout back down in grade. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made a promising return when third of 11 in a novice at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in March last year, but has come nowhere near that form since; drops in grade, but still needs a resurgence. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden who was beaten at least 17l in all four 7f/1m races this year; cheekpieces (worn for last two starts) are discarded for this first attempt at 5f; has too much to prove. |
25/1 |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

0-7 and he has beaten just three rivals home in his four handicap starts; tumbling down the weights but carries risk. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

AW maiden winner in 2023; creditable third over 7f at Lingfield (AW) last time; seems just as effective at 1m; less exposed than most; a possible. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Winless since his debut as a 2yo but has finished third in two starts since tongue-tie/cheekpieces went on, including when drawn wide at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month; makes the shortlist off this 1lb lower mark. |

This son of Time Test cost 4,000gns as a yearling and is closely related to 1m/1m2f winner Zara's Return (RPR 82); dam French 1m AW winner; likely best watched on debut. |
