26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Capitalised on his drop in the weights when coming from off the pace to win at Goodwood (5f, good) last month; disappointed back at Goodwood (6f, soft) 19 days ago; stable has stronger claims elsewhere. |
10/1 |

7th 2 (8) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a two-year barren spell when getting up late in a 5f handicap here 16 days; 3lb higher mark to deal with but he has a Group 3 win on his record and conditions won't faze him; respected. |
5/2 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Acts on any ground; on a losing spell that goes back to Group 3 success two years ago but is on a very attractive mark and his Class 2 form this term includes a couple of respectable efforts; this combination of a drop in grade and assistance of Jamie Spencer (up for first time; regular jockey for the owner) may be the time to catch him. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
0-10 since arriving from France but twice finished runner-up in the spring (5f, good) and he was a close fifth in a tight finish at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) last week; might not be far away. |
4/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Runner-up on two of his starts this spring (both 5f, good) and he was contesting the competitive Dash at Epsom (5f, good to soft) when mid-division last time; this isn't so hot and he could be in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
12th 15 (15) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Yet to win for Ian Williams but he's down in the weights and has run well in two of his last three starts, pipped at Goodwood last month (5f, good); wouldn't be sure to confirm those placings with Dream Composer this time. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to win at Ascot but she has run some good races over C&D, including a close fifth in this race 12 months ago; better than ever in defeat this season; another big run is on the cards. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Prolific winner, mainly in the summer, who ran as well as she ever has off tonight's career-high mark on her comeback a month ago; entitled to have come on for that at her age and boasts a solid record over C&D (won this in 2023), so enters calculations. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Ended last season in good form on AW; has done most of her winning on turf but looks weighted to the hilt on reappearance, being still on a career-high mark; seems unlikely to improve aged eight. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hit the ground running for this yard, his Ripon win in April backed up by arguably unlucky fourth at Goodwood the following month; not beaten far in the Dash here next time and led on the line at Windsor (again 5f, good to firm) last Monday; 4lb penalty to overcome and his best has come at 5f, but he's still considered. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
In good form for his new yard, faring best of those drawn low in the Epsom Dash last time back in the trademark cheekpieces; bit unlucky at Goodwood on his previous start too and remains on a fair mark; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
7th 17 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Trained by James Evans when winning this race in 2024 off a 5lb higher mark (good to soft); well beaten in it last year but he arrives in good form for his new stable, winning at Ripon in April and not enjoying the cleanest run when fourth at Goodwood 15 days ago; rain won't hurt his chance and he's of obvious interest. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Unbeaten (2-2) under Oisin Murphy until finding traffic in the Windsor race he'd won last summer a fortnight ago; unlikely he'd have won there but he's consistent, fine round here and on a winning mark, so is one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
6th 9 (3) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won a less-competitive renewal of this last year under Oisin Murphy (currently 2-2 on him), to further enhance a good course record; arrives in good form, remains on a workable mark and holds decent claims once more. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

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. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Five wins in 2025 (all at 5f; on good, heavy and soft ground); had trip and draw excuses for first two runs this year but he'd shot his bolt over a furlong out at Goodwood last time out; might do better back on a more conventional track and the change in the weather brings him into it. |
6/1 |
|
7th 7 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Very productive in 2025, winning five times; hindered by wide draw at Chester most recently, otherwise has a good record over 5f; just needs to prove he can overcome current mark. |
12/1 |
|
9th 13 (12) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Posted duck eggs over 6f in last two appearances, not beaten entirely by the trip; has a very good record at 5f but faces a harder task off current mark at this level, especially from an unfavourable draw. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
In good form on AW earlier in the year, winning twice at Southwell (5f/6f); best effort since returned to turf came at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago when a close fifth of ten; more required back up in class. |
66/1 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
A two-time 5f/6f scorer at Southwell this winter; yet to hit top form after a three-month absence, though he was poorly drawn when 15th in 5f Epsom handicap last time; no forlorn hope in a refitted hood. |
50/1 |

15th 11 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
In good form on AW for Mike Murphy this winter, winning twice at Southwell (5f/6f); slowly away (blindfold removed late) at Goodwood two weeks ago; looks vulnerable at this level and goes without accessories this time. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Lacks recent match practice, remains on career-high mark and won't have her apparent ideal ground (good to firm) unless the weather lends her a big hand; not the percentage call. |
16/1 |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |

Poor draw when fourth behind Clearpoint here in September; dominant display when seeing off seven rivals from the front here three weeks ago; 6lb rise demands another career best but she's on an upward curve. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Four wins last season, including competitive C&D handicap off the same mark as today; in and out this season but he gave it a good go from the front when close sixth of 14 at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last week, and this less demanding track should play to his strengths; respected. |
11/2 |
|
6th 13 (11) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Made giant strides in 2025, winning four times including a big-field 5f Class 2 handicap at Southwell; only 1lb higher today but his 2026 campaign has been up and down and others are more appealing for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
10th 1 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Did well last term, winning four times; went close at Beverley on penultimate start and paid for racing freely in cheekpieces a few days later; runs without the headgear this time and could go well. |
