1st 4 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has done well since switched to Flat turf for his last two starts with the visor added, winning at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) in April before second of 12 in an apprentice handicap at Ascot (2m, good) last month (winner followed up at Chester on Saturday); up just another 1lb and high on the list. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Beaten a nose, a head and a neck in three bumpers; earned his mark over 1m and predictably did better upped in trip when scoring at Kempton (1m3f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in March; rebounded from a blip next time when going in again at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm; first-time visor) a fortnight ago; dam half-sister to St Leger winner Brian Boru and this new trip could unlock more again; key player. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |

Has worn cheekpieces since switched to handicaps, winning at Kempton (1m3f) then below par at Lingfield, both on AW; may rebound and have more to offer, provided he responds well to the fitting of visor. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Gained a deserved first success of the season in three-runner handicap over C&D (good to firm; from Almuhit) last month and got up close home in nine-runner race at Kempton (2m, AW) ten days ago; up 3lb to career-high mark but he's on a roll. |

Gained a deserved first success of the season in three-runner handicap at Newbury (2m) 15 days ago; up 3lb but he remains quite low mileage so needs considering. |
5/2 |

1st 3 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Has been a bit up and down since returning from a mammoth absence in April, but his second of five at Catterick (1m6f, good to soft) 12 days ago was handsomly franked by the winner at Newmarket on Saturday; has won over this far and a major player. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Her best form has come on slower than good and she looks on a fair mark when granted such conditions; latest Newbury third (2m, good to firm) was a good effort as she was keeping on well before being hampered by the winner 120 yards from home; each-way claims despite the likely drying conditions. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent since handicapping including a win at Ffos Las (1m6f, soft) just under a year ago; may have needed last month's Salisbury return (1m6f, good), but good to firm ground would be a concern. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Won sole start at two (heavy) and a series of solid efforts from 1m3f to 1m6f last year included win at Ffos Las (1m6f, soft; acts on good) in June; rain would likely increase her chances but still respected on this reappearance. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
1-20, but no doubting his consistency and was only just behind Naval Tribute when third of 12 in an apprentice handicap at Ascot (2m, good) last month; has had more chances than his old rival, but should again go well from the same mark. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came when evens for a Bath novice (1m2f, good to soft) as 2yo; respectable efforts across five starts at 1m6f and 2m in 2025 and he went mighty close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) in March after which he had a run over hurdles; strike-rate isn't a positive but he has the ability to figure. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 |
18th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Just 1-18 on Flat, with mostly fair form though and he was pipped over 1m6f just 15 days ago on latest start; just as good on turf as AW; sire Golden Horn has done well with plenty of jumpers; needs a close look on hurdle debut. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Dual-purpose performer but his last Flat win was in December 2023; some creditable efforts off a falling mark on AW (2m) and turf (1m6f) this season but he was tailed off at Newbury last time and needs to bounce back after that; cheekpieces are removed and visor returns. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Third in his last three starts, but may not have achieved that much and remains without a win on the Flat since the end of 2023; others more compelling. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Comes here on the back of two third-place finishes but the latest was behind Trojan Soldier and there is no obvious reason why the placings would be reversed. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-French 4yo who is 1-7 for current connections, easily best of those outings all from off the pace over 2m on Kempton AW; five-day break was blamed when he tailed off on turf (2m, good to firm) on latest outing, but that still leaves him with something to prove. |
6/1 |

7th 8 (1) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Ex-French; no questioning his stamina with the form of his last three starts at Kempton (2m, AW) reading 122; has something to prove under these conditions, though. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 11 (10) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Won in April and creditable second early this month, both over C&D under Jack Dace; Gooloogong had his measure in no uncertain style in the latter race, however, and this ex-French 4yo needs to improve on those recent runs. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |

Kickstarted 2026 with C&D win in January but his more recent form is far less encouraging, last of nine at Chester (2m) last time; others are preferred. |
40/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |

Six-time AW winner, most recently off today's mark in January; struggled when back on turf this month, though, and ground slower than good will be a serious worry here. |

8th 3 (8) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
