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. |

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). |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo; 0-8 this term for new yard but is proving consistent, creditable third when favourite at Hamilton (1m1f) most recently; this may be the day to catch him, with tongue-tie worn for the first time. |
4/1 |

3rd 6 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Sole win came at Cork (1m2f, soft) in April 2024 when trained by Dermot Weld but has posted some good efforts for this stable, including when fourth of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; now steps back up in trip with each-way claims. |
8/1 |

4th 10 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
0-13 since winning in April 2024 on his second start and the drop back to 1m poses a question; only sixth of nine at Sandown three weeks ago but running well previously; might have an each-way chance if bouncing back. |

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. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |

Likes this C&D and won this race in 2024; creditable fourth to Stem here in July but then ran poorly at Ascot; now has cheekpieces fitted. |
25/1 |

8th 4 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
He was attempting to win a 1m2f Sandown handicap for the second successive year when fourth (Theory Of Tides second) three weeks ago; will need more on this second attempt at 1m4f (finished fifth on AW three years ago). |
10/1 |

4th 3 (4) |
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. |

Scored off current mark at Redcar in the spring but is by no means certain to repeat the form, having broadly regressed since. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 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. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Beaten at 7-2 or shorter in four handicap runs for William Haggas this year, showing his best form when third at Ayr (1m5f, soft) in June; not quite so good on faster ground twice since but not inconceivable there is a bigger run lurking and Henry Callan is a good booking; key player. |
5/2 |

5th 6 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
5yo now who won for Sean Woods on belated debut last July; no joy in his seven races since, three for this yard, but he kept on well for a good third of 12 in a slowly run race at Ayr (upped markedly to 1m5f, soft) in June and may well have been stretched by 1m6f when performing respectably at Ascot (good to firm; made most) three weeks ago; firmly in the mix. |
5/2 |

3rd 3 (2) |
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. |

Had gone badly off the boil but back in a Class 4 he came from behind to score narrowly at Chester (extended 1m2f); if he's turned a corner then likely to have some say off 3lb higher. |

Capable handicapper off this mark but has gone badly off the boil in last three races, admittedly in higher grades; still has a bit to prove now and failed to fire on his previous visit here. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |

The season started well but this front-runner has dropped away tamely in his last three races, albeit strong handicaps; this might not be so challenging and could go well if getting any freedom up front. |
14/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
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. |
