19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Newbury (1m, good to firm) this month and the return here makes him especially interesting given he is 2-2 over C&D; drying ground a positive. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Took full advantage of the drop into Class 4 company when readily seeing off five rivals at Redcar last week (1m, good to firm); penalised in a deeper race but he still commands serious respect. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last season, over C&D in April (good) and off 1lb lower over 1m1f at York in June (good to firm; beat Cosmos Raj by a nose); not disgraced in two competitive handicaps this season and is the one to beat now down in grade. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-race maiden; two sound runs over 1m2f after being gelded last August (relegated after passing post in front on second occasion); disappointing at 1m4f this season, but drop to 1m not sure to suit; visor now tried. |
3/1 |

5th 3 (5) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
First past the post (demoted to second having caused interference) in a handicap at Beverley last August but he failed to beat a rival at Meydan (1m4f, good) 41 days ago; dropping back in trip should suit and he may bounce back on his return to Britain. |
3/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Well beaten on handicap debut in June but, having been gelded, showed improved form when second of seven at Sandown (again 1m2f on good) eight weeks later; travelled best in the latter and needs to see the race out a bit better if he's to make this his first win. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Yet to win for new connections but he has run stormers here (7f/1m, both good ground) on his last two starts, bumping into a handicap blot on the first occasion and going down by just a neck two weeks ago; slow starts are a problem though and he will need things to go his way; cheekpieces now join the tongue tie. |
5/1 |

2nd 8 (15) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Rather quirky sort who has become a slow-starter and is 0-12 since a successful debut at the 2024 York Dante meeting but is threatening to double his tally; met traffic issues on his way to a very notable effort at this venue (7f, good) most recently, beating all bar a handicap snip who remains unbeaten and looks a Group performer in the making; shaped as if this second attempt over 1m is well worth exploring; highly respected. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 18 (14) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Hints of promise when slowly away on last two starts, and he might not be a forlorn hope each-way if breaking on terms; however, he's 0-11 since winning on debut here in May 2024 and others are less risky. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Veteran who has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and hasn't prevailed in this sphere since York success three years ago; midfield when the 125-1 rank outsider back here last time. |
66/1 |

10th 8 (21) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Veteran who won over 7f at Southwell in January but has been operating below his best since; drawn widest and likely best to look elsewhere. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Veteran who won over 7f at Southwell in January but has been rather below his best since; equally effective on turf and has won over 1m on fast ground; others look better handicapped. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
12-time winner; creditable second in this race in 2022 and 2025 but on both occasions he was in better form at the time; out of sorts since his last success. |
20/1 |

7th 3 (13) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Gained most recent success off 3lb higher last July, enhancing his good record at Ripon; not in anything like the same form since; difficult to support with confidence. |
16/1 |

5th 6 (3) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Closely-matched with Classic Encounter on their form at York last June (1m1f, good to firm); bit disappointing since Ripon win in July (1m, good to soft), although excuses for poor reappearance run (blindfold removed late). |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ex-Irish; not a regular winner, but ran a sound race when 2.5l fourth over C&D earlier this month (good); only a pound higher than when winning at Newmarket last autumn (7f, good to soft); place chance. |
7/1 |
|
17th 9 (20) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ex-Irish 4yo whose form for new stable features a success at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) last autumn and creditable fourth-place finishes in last two outings (7.5f/1m); again has frame possibilities. |
10/1 |
|
4th 8 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Ex-Irish 4yo whose came good at the second attempt for Roger Fell in 7f Newmarket handicap (good to soft) last backend; has returned with respectable efforts on AW and turf in recent months and now only 1lb above the mark he defied at Newmarket; cheekpieces are refitted for the first time in Britain. |
