17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Overcame trouble to win by 1l at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Oaks day, taking record since being gelded to 2-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-12; returns to a hotter handicap but he's improving steadily and 1lb well in under a penalty; not dismissed. |

1st 3 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced on ground softer than good; Chester maiden (7.5f) winner who made all on Newmarket's July course last August; had been gelded when successfully repeating those tactics on his comeback at Newmarket (also 1m) in April but below that form back there at the Guineas meeting the following month; not dismissed, with Oisin Murphy sticking with him. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |

Down the field when 33-1 in C&D Cambridgeshire last September, before being gelded; however, he was reliable and progressive earlier last season and reappeared with a front-running 1m win here (favourite) 18 days ago; has 5lb penalty (same as his revised mark) but needs plenty of respect. |

Back in form and threatening to regain the winning thread, having finished a creditable second in last two starts, latest at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Oaks day; back up another 2lb but can't be ruled out. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 16 (12) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Acts on soft going; picked up a maiden here (7f, good) in July 2024 on his debut; fair run of form last year came to a crashing halt when virtually tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and he was back to near his best when second of 13 at Thirsk (1m, good) last time; far from dismissed. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded before winning at Windsor (good to firm) last May and finished that season with further wins at Sandown (also 1m, soft) and Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm); on the premises when he suffered chance-ending interference at Newbury last time and this tactically versatile sort is well drawn to sit handy; interesting. |
13/2 |
|
5th 13 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won three of his seven handicaps (1m-1m1f) last term, including the last two; just fourth of 13 to Spanish Voice when favourite at Newmarket on reappearance but that was respectable; player on peak 2025 effort. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
On a roll when last seen, winning at Sandown (1m, soft) and on this course (1m1f, good to firm) in second half of last season; that form looks solid and he's been nudged up only 3lb for the second success; leading claims if ready to roll after seven months off. |

8st 13lb |
Ran respectably at Epsom last time but still has a poor strike-rate in recent years and hasn't won on turf since 2023; the 8yo looks unlikely to prevail in another competitive field. |
40/1 |
|
4th 2 (15) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Seven wins include three on good to soft/soft; also won on AW at Kempton (1m) in February but only midfield in valuable events at Newcastle (AW) and Ascot (good) on his last two starts; however, latter effort was better than it looks having been poorly drawn. |
33/1 |
|
15th 7 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned on AW since December, proving consistent until coming up a tad short on finals day last time; has loads of Ascot form but three defeats in this race (finishing positions 074) suggest he can be opposed, especially now aged eight. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Heavy-ground winner of a Glorious Goodwood handicap (1m) last July and he had dipped below that winning mark when scoring at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last time; 2lb nudge shouldn't stop him being competitive. |
11/1 |
|
1st 1 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; won off 1lb higher at Goodwood (1m) last July but has mixed record since and was beaten 11l in the Spring Mile on his reappearance in March; this is a big drop back in grade but he's now 1-11 in handicaps and others are more convincing. |
12/1 |
|
11th 4 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Not disgraced (fifth of 14) in sole Doncaster attempt and current mark is workable; however, may be more interesting when back at Goodwood with this reappearance under his belt, having gained both wins there. |

9st 1lb |
Four wins at Kempton between last October and this March and placed twice in a row on the other Newmarket course in May (1m, good to firm/good) before solid sixth of 18 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last month; his yard is in excellent form and he's an each-way contender. |
11/1 |
|
6th 18 (17) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 0-6 on turf but his 40-1 second of 13 at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) was a good effort in May and he backed it up when third to Sterling Knight over that C&D (good) a fortnight later; sole start on good to soft (1m2f) last year was inconclusive but he'll do well to defy this career-high mark. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 8 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Things clicked with four AW wins between October and March and he transferred that improvement back to turf when second of 13 over C&D a fortnight ago (good to firm; Sterling Knight third); could be thereabouts. |

Has form at a variety of tracks but seems ideally suited by Pontefract, being 3-4 there compared to just 1-16 elsewhere; drops back in class for this first visit to Ayr. |
10/1 |
|
8th 14 (11) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time winner who landed a third success at Pontefract (1m, good) on his penultimate start, having attracted support; also effective on a softer surface than that but it was this mark he raced from when well held at York three weeks ago and this demands a career best. |
20/1 |
|
12th 16 (5) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Ran just four times last year, winning on three occasions (1m, good/soft), and back on the scoresheet at Pontefract (1m, good) a fortnight ago on his second start of the season; did it cosily last time and a 4lb rise may not stop this thriving 6yo. |

Kicked off this campaign with two wins in a row (7f, good to soft/AW) before solid second at Newmarket (1m, good); didn't run badly in mid-division in Class 2 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last time and he could be in the mix back down in grade. |

9th 17 (16) |

Acts on soft ground; better than ever this season, winning at Doncaster (good to soft) and following up at Southwell (again 7f, AW); solid second to Sterling Knight (1m, good) last time but he'll need more from the same mark. |

25/1 |

7th 19 (15) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Only midfield off current mark in this race 12 months ago, despite arriving at the top of his game; has been in worse form this time, well below par in both starts since landing the Thirsk Hunt Cup; has done all his winning over further than 7f and can be opposed. |
40/1 |

11th 5 (10) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |

7yo who was 6lb lower when landing this race (good to soft) last season; this year's running is more competitive but his success in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) last month was close to a career best and he had a possible excuse when failing to back that up at York; can't be ruled out. |

4th 6 (7) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Big improver for this yard last year, winning three times (good to firm/AW) including when making all at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in July; remains feasibly treated on that form but he's been out of sorts in both runs this season and needs to get back on track. |
14/1 |

12th 7 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |

Proved progressive last year having joined this yard, winning three times (good to firm/AW) including when making all at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in July; also ran really well when second of 17 at Ascot (1m, soft; off current mark) in September but he was beaten a long way on his final start of that term and again at Lingfield on his reappearance four weeks ago; needs to put those efforts behind him but that's not out of the question. |

Off the bridle a long way out over 1m at Newmarket 15 days ago but he did stick at it for fourth of 13, suggesting this return to 1m2f for the first time this year may suit; nicely handicapped on his second at Newbury on his final 3yo start. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up last September in his first two handicaps (1m2f/1m, soft/good to soft) and not beaten far when ninth of 24 on reappearance in the Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, good); perhaps unsuited by Epsom when down the field a fortnight ago and this unexposed 4yo remains one to be interested in. |
7/1 |

13th 11 (14) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |

Wide-margin win (7f, heavy) on his sole start at two promised plenty and, after being campaigned over 1m2f and 1m4f, he recorded a clear career best when second of 15 over 1m at Newbury (good to soft) on his final start at three; subsequently gelded and his reappearance when beaten less than 4l at Newbury in April was perfectly respectable; unexposed and he's respected. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |

Won on good to soft as a juvenile and reappeared with good-ground C&D success at last year's Spring meeting; that was his only start in 2025 and he made a respectable comeback despite hanging when fifth of 11 at Newbury (1m2f) three weeks ago; drops back down in trip with cheekpieces added and his best days are almost certainly ahead of him; player. |

Unexposed 4yo who was returning from seven months off when winning at Epsom (8.5f, good) in April last year; off again since and 9lb higher, but he is clearly proven fresh and his sire should ensure that this longer trip is within range; respected. |

Below par in first-time blinkers at Epsom last month but the good to soft ground may not have suited and he's back in a visor today, in which he went close at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May; has an each-way shout. |

Won a Salisbury maiden (1m2f, good to firm) last June when sporting first-time cheekpieces for previous yard; yet to score for current stable but he's been placed on six of those seven starts and it was a narrow defeat when second of ten at Windsor (1m, good to firm; visored) under Silvestre De Sousa latest; soft going would ask a question but he's well drawn to go forward and newly fitted blinkers might eke out more. |

Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say. |

He made his debut only as a 4yo but it was a winning one at Newcastle (1m); subsequently useful form on AW included another narrow win at that venue (1m2f) in August for George Scott and he went mighty close over latter C&D on stable debut in November; niggled along at various stages when seventh on his turf debut (10.5f) last month and some guesswork is involved as to whether this test will bring out the best in him. |
