4th 5 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Looked one to follow prior to disappointing when favourite over C&D last September, and he confirmed the earlier impression with a stylish Zetland Gold Cup win at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May on return; raised 8lb but this unexposed and well-regarded 4yo may be able to take it in his stride. |
7/1 |

1st 2 (3) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Went back-to-back at Hamilton last season (1m1f, good; maiden/handicap) and unlikely that he gave his true running when a beaten favourite at York in September (1m2f); held a Cambridgeshire entry back then and he retains plenty of potential as a 4yo, especially at this trip (dam stayed well). |
8/1 |
|
6 (12) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Cambridgeshire entrant who is on a hat-trick after back-to-back 1m1f wins at Hamilton, accounting for a solid yardstick on handicap debut (good); could easily take a 5lb rise in his stride and today's extra distance is likely to suit (dam stayed well). |

6th 10 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo; overall record of 1-14 but he's been in good form for new yard this season, including second in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May, with reopposing Flying Frontier back in fourth; bumped into a well-treated rival when runner-up again at Nottingham last time; likely to be on the premises under Oisin Murphy. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo; overall record of 1-13 but he's been in good form for new yard this season and has been placed in Class 2 events (1m2f) in his last two starts; seems versatile ground-wise and he could make a major impact if this sets up for his closing style. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 17 (10) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Rather disappointing for Dermot Weld in Ireland after winning a soft-ground maiden; has still not added to that 2024 win but he's been highly competitive in 1m2f handicaps on all three starts for new connections, runner-up to an unexposed rival in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (good to firm) 11 days ago; each-way claims again. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who scored from Ammes at Redcar when upped to 1m2f in April; creditable third of ten in the Zetland Gold Cup there (again 1m2f on good to firm) in May off this mark; very useful dam stayed 1m6f, so this new trip for her son could be within reach; may have more to give. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who bagged some valuable course experience in winning narrowly over C&D last month; the runner-up had been jumping, but this 145,000euros yearling had a bit in hand and surely has more to give off a 4lb higher mark. |
100/30 |
|
1st 3 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the fourth attempt in a maiden at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last September and he reappeared with a close second on last month's handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW); that latest form reads well and this unexposed 4yo is a major player up 2lb. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Second course success when winning this off 1lb higher on good to firm under Rossa Ryan last year; disappointed on Pontefract reappearance but looked back on form when keeping on from the rear for fourth (Spoken Truth second) of ten in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) at the end of May; can make a bold bid in this race again. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
6yo with only 13 races behind him and ran just three times last year, winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on the second occasion; 1lb lower than that day but he does need to rebound from a desperate comeback run at Pontefract. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Ran just three times last year, winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on the second occasion, and soft ground there may not have suited when last seen; also unproven on good to soft; this lightly raced 6yo is capable of having a big say if fully tuned up and handling conditions. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Progressive last autumn and rediscovered that thread to win at Redcar (1m, good) in May; hasn't been running badly over about 1m2f subsequently but needs something extra if he's to take this. |
50/1 |
|
5th 9 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Secured the latest of his three wins when taking Redcar handicap (1m, good) in May; couple of respectable efforts over 1m2f on turf since and he hasn't finished out of the first three in four AW starts (all here); another who can't be dismissed. |
12/1 |
|
6th 10 (15) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Secured the latest of his three wins when taking Redcar handicap (1m, good) in May; stepped up to this trip for the first time when staying-on fifth in the Zetland Gold Cup back there 18 days ago and this fairly progressive sort should have more to offer. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
5yo now who won for Sean Woods on belated debut last July; no joy since but he kept on well for a good third of 12 off this mark at Ayr (upped markedly to 1m5f, soft) three weeks ago on second start for new yard, suggesting potential over staying trips; probably acts on good to firm; one to note. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 9 (6) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
5yo who won for Sean Woods on belated debut last July; mixed results across his five starts since and he's unraced beyond 1m2f, but he stumbled leaving the stalls when mid-division on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Redcar, and things could click at some point; not written off. |
7/1 |
|
6th 9 (5) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who won for Sean Woods on his belated debut at Thirsk (1m, good) last July; not blatantly well treated on the balance of his form (including 1m2f/1m1f handicaps) but now makes his debut for a top trainer having changed hands for 65,000gns; has to be of strong interest. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Good third over 1m4f on Kempton AW in March and again ran well when filling the same position at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in April; a case can be made on those efforts but subsequent evidence suggests he's gone off the boil. |
12/1 |
|
8th 8 (8) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time winner who has been operating close to his best in defeat this year but not last time at Epsom when in first-time cheekpieces; even if back on song, others are more intriguing. |
25/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two AW wins in December and returned to turf with 3l third of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last Tuesday; might not be far away but there's a suspicion that this exposed 7yo might find a few too good; cheekpieces go on. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Made all at Yarmouth (good to firm) on his April return and it was a fine effort when third at Newbury (also 1m2f, good) a fortnight later; couldn't maintain his lead in better events subsequently but this drop back in grade should see him last longer. |
11/2 |
|
11th 10 (9) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Made it 2-5 when making all in Yarmouth handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his reappearance in April; creditable third at Newbury the following month but he flopped when joint-favourite at Redcar last time; has bit to prove again after that and he could have competition for the lead back on AW. |
12/1 |
|
9th 7 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Dominated a small field at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) and definitely improved on that form when a battling third behind classy improvers from top yards at Newbury (good); an easy lead looks unlikely here but he's a 4yo on the upgrade. |
