8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive type who followed an unlucky fifth to Alobayyah in handicap at Royal Ascot with a narrow win in similar event at Goodwood (1m, good) 11 days ago; this is a sterner assignment but it's unlikely she's reached her ceiling just yet. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Defied a lengthy absence when winning at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month and then ran a fine race to finish fifth of 24 in the Kensington Palace at Ascot (1m, good to firm), especially as she met traffic; could have been better drawn, but she races off the same mark as last time and represents last year's winning stable; shortlisted. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Made light of a ten-month absence in small-field Doncaster handicap (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; this comes quite quick on the back of that but she's an unexposed sort from a leading stable that is in tremendous form. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner (from a similar mark, beat Criminal Shore) last October; runner-up to well-treated rival over C&D (9-1) penultimate start; reluctant to load, fluffing his chance with a slow start at Redcar (1m; last of 14) latest; possible if back on song. |
13/2 |

14th 5 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Strong traveller who sometimes flatters to deceive; close second to a recent Glorious Goodwood winner on latest turf start, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in June, and also ran well on AW last month but has modest 2-32 strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes; usually wears blinkers or cheekpieces but goes only in a first-time tongue-tie here. |
8/1 |

2nd 9 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who comes here on the back of a good second of five in 1m Doncaster handicap last month, just failing; not out of things despite a 2lb weights rise. |

19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent over 1m this term for new stable; won at Pontefract in April and Ayr in September; ran respectably in big field at York most recently; out of 1m2f scorer but doesn't shape as if he's crying out for this new trip. |
11/1 |

1st 1 (1) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with a 1m Pontefract win (good to soft; has also won on soft) off 1lb higher in April; pair of respectable thirds back there (good/good to firm) in July and considered back from a two-month break on ground which suits. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Back to form with a bang to collar one with a good AW record over 7f here on Monday; there was over 3l back to the third in that 13-runner contest so he could be fairly treated under a 5lb penalty if coping with the quick turnaround; just as effective at 1m. |
7/2 |

5th 7 (8) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Just one win to his name after 20 attempts; well treated on this season's best but he has gone quiet more recently; cheekpieces now given a go; others bring more compelling claims. |

7th 8 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Yet to win a handicap and no better than fourth in seven runs for his new yard this year; drops in trip with a tongue tie added; others hold stronger claims. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
A dual 1m winner last autumn; yet to add to that this season and has hindered his cause with very slow starts in 1m handicaps at York and Newcastle on his last two runs; others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dual C&D winner (from lower marks) last autumn; couldn't sustain challenge when third at Redcar (1m, good to firm; 28-1) on penultimate start; lost many lengths at the start, toiling in competitive Class 4 at York latest; task isn't insurmountable. |
12/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Falling in the weights and ran respectably when third to Rajapour at Redcar on Sunday, but the winner bolted up that day and it's hard to see the tables being turned. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Did too much up front over 1m1f at Hamilton last time; successful at York and close third at Ripon in last two 1m attempts; ground softer than good would present a question mark. |
16/1 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Returned to form to make all at York (1m, good) in June and backed that up with another good effort at Ripon (1m, good) 24 days ago, finishing a close-up third of seven; runs off the same mark today and could go well over this slightly longer trip. |
9/1 |

3rd 1 (6) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form to make all at 28-1 at York (1m, good) three weeks ago in a reapplied tongue-tie (retained); strong claims up 3lb if he can back up that latest performance. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to score this season but back in very good form since fitted with cheekpieces, runner-up in big-field handicaps at York (1m) and Doncaster (1m2f) last two runs; up 3lb but he can go very well again in retained headgear. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 11 (7) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Often front-runner whose three wins last year included two at this track over 1m; below his best over this C&D last month but a good second of 19 in first-time cheekpieces at York (1m, good to soft) five days ago; has form over this trip but others may see it out stronger. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 16 (8) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made all in this last year and he's one to watch in the betting in first-time cheekpieces off an 8lb lower mark; however, following an encouraging reappearance at Newmarket in May he's failed to shine on his three starts since and needs to turn things around. |
