18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not straightforward but he won at Lingfield (1m2f, good) last month and backed it up with a good second of four over C&D three weeks ago; should remain competitive. |

2nd 2 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Polytrack winner for Sir Mark Prescott in January; two good runs to start off his time with Joseph Parr and he took a step forward when seeing off seven rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good) ten days ago; this is tougher under a penalty but he did well to overcome a slow start last time and he's still unexposed on turf; respected. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Looked less than straightforward but ultimately responded well to change of headgear when winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) most recently, taking record to 3-16; enters calculations in the retained blinkers. |
8/1 |

1st 2 (2) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ideally suited by good or slower ground and he's very effective on heavy; won at Doncaster in March (1m2f) and had a near miss at Goodwood in June but his form nosedived at Epsom 11 days ago; has bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back in new headgear. |
12/1 |

Not at his best last time but on the up previously and neither trip nor ground will be a concern; each-way shout. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Front runner; finished last at Brighton 17 days ago but he's 2-4 at Epsom and has a big run in him, especially if let loose on the lead. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Keen-going front-runner who landed a second Epsom victory (also a C&D winner) when showing the right attitude to get back up late last month; won back-to-back races last summer and no surprise to see history repeat itself upped a fair 2lb. |
5/1 |

1st 6 (5) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Placed off 3lb higher at Lingfield (1m2f, good) on seasonal/stable debut in May but not quite in same form on any of three subsequent outings, the last twice here (1m2f/8.5f); needs to up his game. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 (in refitted cheekpieces) in 1m2f Goodwood handicap in June; not disgraced from a less-than-ideal draw with fifth of 11 at Chester (1m2f) last time; considered with cheekpieces back on here. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |

Two course wins over further; won a Goodwood handicap (1m1f, good to soft) in June off this mark; not so good since but a revival would be no surprise. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won a six-runner handicap over C&D (good to firm) in July; failed to settle and well beaten at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) later that month but could leave that behind back at Nottingham following a two-month break. |
5/1 |

7th 2 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Did not progress after last September's AW novice win but looked back in good nick when cosily exploiting much-reduced mark at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) this month; this race is much stronger but a 3lb rise ought to be manageable if she's in similar form again. |
8/1 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a small-field novice at Southwell (1m, AW) last September, but she's found things tough since including in four handicaps (1m-1m3f) this season; continues to drop down the weights but she needs to raise her game back up in trip; hood reapplied. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 2-4 since rejoining Jane Chapple-Hyam and had three of these behind when fourth in a strong York handicap in one of those defeats; he appeared to be stretched by an extended 1m5f when again running fairly well at Newbury; only 4lb above last winning mark and with Saffie Osborne recruited, he's a player. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 (12) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Record of 2-3 since rejoining Jane Chapple-Hyam and racing over 1m4f; prevailed at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last time; ties in with French Duke on York running; respected in current form, upped a bit further in trip. |
7/2 |

1st 8 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month for Jack Morland and, following a 22,000gns sale, he was back with his former yard when following up in 15-runner race at Ascot (upped to 1m4f, good to firm) in July; couldn't complete the hat-trick in a big field at the York Ebor meeting but still performed with credit in fourth; considered under Billy Loughnane. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won over hurdles last December (2m); reverted to the Flat in May and was beaten just a neck at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) last month on his second start back, when 7l clear of the third; there's every chance that this trip will be within range and he should again be involved. |

2nd 2 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |

Both wins, including one over hurdles, came in a hood, which was absent when well beaten on the AW last month and again here; others preferred. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Both wins, including one over hurdles, came in a hood, which is absent as he returns from wind surgery after three months off; had plenty of chances off this sort of mark last year. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Running consistently off his higher AW mark (almost a stone lower on turf), including for new yard five weeks ago; has only gone beyond 1m once before, though, and the longer trip on grass is the double concern. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Tapeta win early last year came off 5lb lower and he's looked to find this mark just beyond him this season; needs a career-best effort for his new yard, having been picked up from Brian Meehan recently for £12,500. |
