24th 10 (3) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Arrives in top form having won really well under Zac Lloyd at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time, building on his reappearance effort and taking record in cheekpieces to 4-10; that sets him up perfectly for a crack at a bigger prize and further progress is not out of the question; shortlisted. |

1st 7 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Turf maiden winner who won two AW handicaps last autumn; his last success was off 7lb lower but he reappeared with a good third at Newmarket (7f, good) last month and he's still lightly raced on turf; in the mix. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Turf maiden winner who scored in fine style in a handicap at Newcastle (7f, AW) last October; on that evidence this 7lb higher mark isn't necessarily beyond him, but he needs to improve upon what he produced on his last two outings in November and December. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Dual turf winner (7f, good) who won on AW at Newcastle in December, but he's not easy to predict and was beaten 11l when sixth at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) last month; has bit to prove again after that and he's still 6lb higher than for his last win; regular hood is removed. |
8/1 |

6th 3 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Defied penalty in 3yo novice here (good) in 2024; back from a 145-day break and wind surgery when landing Class 2 at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in December and beaten a neck at Abu Dhabi (1m, good) in March; career-high mark but still considered. |
6/1 |

16th 5 (16) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Confined to 7f for all his runs and the winner of two novices on good ground; didn't get the best of runs when a 3l third at Goodwood two runs back and then raced freely with no cover at Doncaster; retains potential and probably quick enough for 6f. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
In good form last June, winning off this mark over C&D (good) before an excellent second at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); some fair efforts this season and on a good mark now; not out of it. |
4/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten on his last 14 starts and he's been expensive to follow in that time, but he was denied a clear run at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month and again ran well when fifth of 19 at York (7f, good) last time; could be thereabouts. |
11/2 |
|
5th 5 (13) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
His losing sequence is up to 13 but he's 4lb lower than when runner-up at Royal Ascot last June and was denied a clear run when third at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last Saturday; bang there if getting the breaks. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won 6f maiden here last November and this lightly raced 4yo has got closer to the target with each of his three turf handicap runs, keeping on for fourth at Doncaster (7f) last time in first-time cheekpieces (retained); the return to Newcastle could be a plus and the step up to 1m is worth a go. |
8/1 |
|
4th 12 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won a Newcastle maiden (6f, AW) in November and was a creditable fourth of 22 at York (7f, good) last month, in just his second handicap; that was his first attempt at this trip and has each-way claims if he can build on that; cheekpieces added. |
20/1 |

4th 20 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Raced only four times, all over 5f/6f, showing solid AW promise (221) last autumn then posting a duck egg in Newbury handicap on reappearance; may still do better but has enough to prove upped in trip and kept to turf. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won four times in 2024; lightly raced last year and reappeared with close third off 4lb higher at Redcar (1m, good to firm) this April; however, three lesser runs have followed and he needs to turn things around. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Lightly raced and mainly disappointing since his last success in August 2024, the exception being when beaten under a length into third of nine on his reappearance over C&D (good to firm) in April; now 3lb lower but he has become hard to predict. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Versatile sort who has won four times at up to 1m but his last success was in August 2024; reappeared with a close third off 2lb higher at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in April but he's not easy to predict and was tailed off at Thirsk three weeks ago; yard also runs Akkadian Thunder. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy; on a competitive mark on last year's best efforts but he's without a win since September 2022 and finished merely in mid-division on reappearance in the Lincoln here in March (unseated rider on the way to post); others are more persuasive. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Winless since September 2022 and 0-9 last year after returning from a stint in Australia; however, last season's best efforts came over C&D, including when fifth in this (good to soft) and runner-up in October (heavy); 7lb lower than 12 months ago and Jack Callan removes valuable 5lb; each-way claims. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Kept fairly busy in the last 12 months and he supplemented a 6f Windsor win (good) in September by scoring over 7f at Yarmouth (good to soft) in October and at Chelmsford (AW) in December; has held his form with some solid efforts this spring and he could make a serious impact if this sets up for his closing style. |

4th 15 (16) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Kept fairly busy in the last 12 months and he supplemented a 6f Windsor (good) win in September by scoring over 7f at Yarmouth (good to soft) in October and at Chelmsford (AW) in December; respectable efforts on both starts last month and Oisin Murphy takes over for the first time. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

He has turned in a string of good efforts since winning at Windsor last September; close second off this mark at Newcastle on New Year's Day (6f); no obvious reason why he wouldn't make another bold bid. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Two-time 7f winner who returned to form on his second start for this yard with a close third at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago, when he raced alone on the near-side rail; however, he's up in grade today and untested at the trip, and he's not bred for this distance. |
50/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won last October (7f, AW) on final run for Andrew Balding and he's also won on fast turf; couldn't get into it on recent stable/seasonal debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) but may have needed the run and his trainer had an impressive winner last week with one having his second run for the yard. |
8/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Useful juvenile who ended his 3yo campaign with a win in a Newcastle handicap (7f, AW) in October; been gelded and left Andrew Balding for 150,000gns since; remains feasibly treated off only 3lb higher than last time and he needs a close look on return for new yard. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who performed with great credit on all five starts last season, including a win here (6.5f) in September and a narrow defeat in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f); returned after wind surgery with a low-key effort at York last month but he may have need that run and has claims if he can get back near best; acts on most ground and four of his six wins have been at 7f. |
6/1 |

14th 8 (14) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who performed with great credit on all five starts last season, finishing second at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) on his reappearance and beaten just a neck in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) when last seen; has had wind surgery since; no surprise if he makes a bold bid on this return. |
16/1 |

24 (5) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Front-runner; the winner of four of his last six starts, notably a game effort at Doncaster six days ago (6.5f, good to soft); a 5lb penalty for that hard-fought short-head success demands more but his fine attitude and abundant stamina will stand him in good stead on a rare 6f outing. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |

Unexposed 4yo; won a Redcar maiden (7f, good to firm) and a Newcastle novice (7f, AW) towards the end of last summer but he was well held on handicap at Newcastle in October; still has potential but this is competitive on his return and he needs to find more progress. |

9st 5lb |
Following an encouraging reappearance fifth at Haydock in April he was beaten a long way on his final two starts for Ed Bethell; however, he's well treated on last season's form and perhaps he'll have been revived by a change of scenery; market check advised on stable debut. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Won novice events at Kempton (7f, AW) and over C&D (good) for Roger Varian last summer but has mixed record in handicaps since; made a promising stable debut when fifth at Haydock in April but he was a long way below that form in another Class 2 event at Ascot last month; now drops back in grade but regular hood is removed and he comes with risks attached. |
8/1 |

25th 12 (18) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who ties in with Great Acclaim on a stable/seasonal debut effort at Haydock that took his form figures over 7f to 1135; may resume progress with that outing under his belt; one to consider, especially if the market signals speak positively. |
