Won at Newmarket (1m, good) and Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) in the first half of the year but hasn't come up to scratch subsequently and needs to get back on track in first-time cheekpieces. |

Won at Newmarket (1m, good) and Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) in the first half of the year and he got no run when down the field in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) in July; however, he was soundly beaten at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time and has to raise his game. |

9st 6lb |
Nicely treated and back to form, finishing second in first-time cheekpieces at Chester (7.5f) and then fourth of 13 in a good race at Hamilton (1m); this looks less demanding than last time but softer ground would be preferred. |
4/1 |
|
4th 7 (5) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Nicely treated, having gained sole handicap win (1m, soft) off 3lb higher; best efforts this term when runner-up on three occasions, including in first-time cheekpieces at Chester latest start; possibilities if suited by the switch to visor. |
7/1 |

Dual winner; a mixed bag this season but has dipped to a dangerous mark and always a chance that cheekpieces could have a desired effect; ideally he'd prefer a tad further. |

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. |

Fine servant to connections, successful over C&D in February; however, he was below par at the Shergar Cup last time and is drawn wide today. |

6th 8 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |

Solid fourth-place finishes in good handicaps at Epsom and Sandown on his last two starts; suspicion he will prove vulnerable for win purposes. |
16/1 |
|
4th 9 (11) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
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. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Made it two wins for the year when scoring on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) last month and denied a clear run when close second off this mark at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) latest; up in grade this afternoon but this progressive 4yo is 2lb well in and is not ruled out each-way. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
He's added two wins at about 1m (good and good to firm) this year and wasn't seen to best advantage at Goodwood on Sunday, unable to get a clear run until the birds ahead had flown; capable of better on this quick return. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Raised only 2lb for his wins at Nottingham in May and Newmarket last time, so looks likely to remain competitive, especially as he's a dual Goodwood scorer. |

9st 11lb |
All four wins have been over 1m at Kempton where he nearly added another last month; record of 0-9 on turf but also went close at York two runs ago, albeit on good to firm (slower might not be preferable); one or two others appeal more; first-time tongue-tie. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins have been over C&D and latest was in March; record of 0-9 on turf but he returned to form with a close second in a big field at York last time; only 1lb higher back on Polytrack and he should get a decent tow into this race; respected. |

10st 2lb |
Bought in for £11,000 after a Musselburgh seller (1m1f, good to soft) last time and the manner of that win suggests he's worth another go over 1m2f; mark has gone back up 6lb but he holds solid claims returned to Pontefract, with record here reading 31113 (all over 1m). |
13/2 |

1st 3 (7) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 208y Class 4 |

Fairly useful 1m handicapper who has a particularly good record at Pontefract, winning three times; respectable third back there on latest start; has the ability to play a big role. |
5/2 |

3rd 2 (5) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Fifth of 18 in the Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) and a chance on that effort; following run perhaps came too soon and last time he had to deal with heavy ground; 3-4 at this track, he's a serious player. |

10/1 |
|
2nd 11 (8) |
16th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Has won at this track on soft; upped markedly to 1m3f at Southwell (AW) last month and led 2f out until three rivals went past in the final 1f; that was a good run, followed admittedly by a lesser show at York but that was over 1m4f; could be a player back here at 1m1f. |
20/1 |
|
8th 16 (6) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Acts on soft; unproven beyond 1m and unraced beyond 1m1f until he tried 1m3f at Southwell (AW) 15 days ago and led 2f out until three rivals went past in the final 1f; that was a good run and his dam won at this trip but others clearly have less to prove in this hot 1m4f race. |

Multiple winner who returned to form with a second at Ripon (1m, soft; fine on faster) but dropping back in trip doesn't look ideal when he's 0-5 over 7f (3-18 at 1m+) for this yard. |

Scored twice in 2024 and three times in 2025; back to best when second in useful 1m handicap here (good to firm; acts on soft) last month but only eighth of 11 at Thirsk since and his peak RPRs (including all wins) have been achieved at about 1m. |

Ran creditably at Sandown last time, taking record in 1m2f handicaps to 213; runner-up in both attempts under Jamie Spencer, including over 1m on this card 12 months ago; may still have more to offer over this distance; very solid claims. |

Only 2lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) in July, and he's still well handicapped judged on the pick of his form from last autumn; saddle slipped when down the field in the Shergar Cup three weeks ago; tactically versatile, and plenty of rain would not inconvenience him in the slightest; has rock-solid credentials. |

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. |

Produced a career-best performance when a well-backed winner on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) in July; a case can be made on that form but he wasn't at the same level at Ascot (1m, good to firm) subsequently and has to leave that run behind. |

With this visor back on, and back on better ground, he returned to form with a well-backed win at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, coming clear with a runner-up who was returning from a long absence and won at Sandown on Thursday; an 8lb rise might not stop him. |

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. |
