17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Front-runner; far more exposed than some of these but won two (Fakenham and Bangor) of her last four starts and there's no question over her recent wellbeing; another bold show is likely despite career-high mark. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Resumed winning ways at Fakenham (2m) in May and has continued in good form, scuppered by a late blunder when third of four in 2m1f handicap at Market Rasen in July; that form has been franked so this front-runner can go well again off the same mark. |

Small fields suit this free-going mare, as do sharp, flat tracks; perhaps on a fairly tough mark after coming up short last time but shouldn't be far away. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
It's been some fall from grace since he finished placed in two Derbys as a 3yo, with his only subsequent win coming over hurdles; very opposable. |
33/1 |

6th 7 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in the Derby in 2024 but nothing like the same force now; after a stint over hurdles he was comfortably beaten in a handicap at Royal Ascot last month; hard to fancy. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
His second in the 2024 Derby is feeling pretty distant now and on latest outing he was second of four in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham; hooded throughout that hurdles campaign and sometimes on Flat, but that is now replaced by cheekpieces; this is also his first ever Flat handicap. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Useful hurdler who has finished runner-up in four Flat handicaps this year and latest fourth was in a Class 4 on the AW; Jake Dickson was aboard when he just missed out at Newmarket the time before (2m, good to firm; same mark). |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended 2025 with a Chelmsford win (2m, AW) and he has form figures of 2222 on the Flat this year, including beaten only neck by Campeona on turf at Lingfield (2m) on penultimate start; no reason he why he won't give his running again. |
100/30 |

2nd 3 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Ended 2025 with a Chelmsford win (2m, AW) and he has form figures of 222 on the Flat this year; all of those runs have been in small-field events but he went close at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) last time and is on the same mark here; in the mix. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Her sole win (from 25 attempts) came 18 starts ago in May 2025; she didn't run badly off her reduced mark at Stratford recently but needs something extra if she's to snap her losing sequence today. |

3rd 4 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Her sole win from 24 starts was in a maiden hurdle last May; runner-up in a Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good) this spring but she's not gone on from that was well held back on the Flat last time; tongue-tie is now tried and she needs to raise her game back in this sphere. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over hurdles but a modest Flat maiden for Brian Ellison; comes here in good nick over hurdles for new yard, sixth at Uttoxeter 13 days ago; not out of things back in this sphere. |
