29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Responded well to first-time cheekpieces in useful handicap (1m4f, soft) on Derby day when last seen, taking Epsom record to 2-2; similar type to High Degree and looks a major player in the retained headgear. |
3/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |

Reserve; has usually run with credit here, including on good to firm in May, and scored (from Night Breeze) with first-time cheekpieces under Warren Fentiman at Epsom 13 days ago; however, his only two wins from 15 races have both been at Epsom in the mud and he's also now gone back up 6lb. |

10st 0lb |
Had three of these behind when winning this last year off 11lb lower (good to firm); looks even better now, probably not seen to best effect behind Sportingsilvermine at Newmarket before a sterling effort at Glorious Goodwood over an inadequate 1m2f; likes it here and he's hard to knock. |
100/30 |

3rd 10 (11) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Runner-up in 2024 on his only appearance at this track; reliable sort who hit new heights over 1m4f on last three outings, so this drop back in trip asks a question but he needs respect. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Reliable and progressive on a variety of ground and courses, although has never raced at Newmarket; third in this race last year; hit new heights at Epsom (1m4f) on last two outings and makes each-way appeal. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
In the frame all six starts this season, and might have bumped into a smart one when second off today's mark at Kempton (1m4f, AW) ten days ago; also suited by turf and won't be far away if stamina holds out over new trip. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Consistent sort who has yet to be out of the first four in 17 starts; his two wins including one here over 1m3f last August and he was beaten only 2l over C&D last month; should continue to give his running. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Extraordinarily consistent sort who is yet to finish out of the frame in 16 starts; Master Vintner and two others proved too strong for him late on over C&D two starts back but that rival is 3lb worse off at today's weights, so they are very closely matched. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Seen mostly at up to 1m4f so perhaps unwise to read all that much into last two defeats over 2m and 1m6f; not impossibly treated on his solid 1m4f form earlier this season, and last year's efforts included a 2l defeat in this (not seen to best effect) and a victory over Insanity at York (1m4f, good to firm); in the mix. |
13/2 |
|
6th 5 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Seen mostly at up to 1m4f, over which he delivered a telling late challenge on the other Newmarket track in May; while that looked encouraging for longer trips, his one attempt at 1m6f (on soft last July) and two at 2m (last two Northumberland Plates) saw him well beaten; that's not conclusive proof that he won't stay 1m6f but it leaves his stamina unproven. |
33/1 |
|
12th 11 (13) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins at this track but he came 13th in this race last year; that was his only appearance over this long a trip and he was also below form when he had a crack at 1m6f, so he's unproven beyond 1m4f, over which he's contested his last nine starts; stamina is the big doubt. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |

Proved somewhat resurgent in the Epsom race won by Too Soon and looks a possible danger provided he builds on that effort; useful on his day and peak form includes a success in the 2024 November Handicap. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (17) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won 23-runner November Handicap (1m4f, soft) in 2024 and he's 2-3 here (1m2f and 1m4f) including a win on good to soft last September; those are the clear positives but he's been poor in three starts at 1m2f (snow/AW/good) this year; has a tempting mark if he can stage a revival, so needs a market check. |
20/1 |
|
9th 1 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
A very useful 1m2f/1m4f winner at his best but lightly raced in recent seasons and came in last of 11 in 1m2f AW Lingfield handicap in February; needs to take a big step forward after a break. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Acts on soft; can make the running; won six (four over hurdles, two on Flat) of seven starts in a golden spell last February-October, including over C&D in September in both the Jump Jockeys Derby (soft) and Apprentices' Derby (good); recent run over 2m at Goodwood should have teed him up nicely for what could be a plan from last year's winning yard; considered. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on soft; can make the running; won six (four over hurdles, two on Flat) of seven starts in a golden spell last February-October; soundly beaten over hurdles on latest three outings (in tough races on last two) and unraced beyond 1m4f on Flat, but he can't be comfortably dismissed in this small field. |
2/1 |

18th 16 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Has set the pace in small fields; won six (four over hurdles, two on Flat) of seven starts in a golden spell last February-October, the final leg in a conditions event at this track; soundly beaten on both starts since (admittedly no chance in Grade 1 latest) and unraced beyond 2m1f, leaving him with plenty to prove in this search for a big career best. |

1m4f AW Listed winner for the Gosdens but he left that yard under a cloud in the autumn; rediscovered some form at 1m2f on AW last winter but reverted to lesser efforts on his four outings this spring. |

7th 3 (11) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
1m4f AW Listed winner (also acts on good to soft and softer) for the Gosdens but he left that yard under a cloud in the autumn; rediscovered some form at 1m2f on AW this winter but he's been below par on his last three starts; soft ground would enhance his cause but others are more solid. |
33/1 |

Reserve; acts on good to soft, much more to prove on soft; came back to the boil to win a Shergar Cup race at Ascot (2m) two weeks ago and peak efforts last term, including a 2m fourth at this meeting, were a bit better; with 4lb penalty, though, a career best may nevertheless be required. |

Third in a 1m4f handicap at this meeting two years ago and his run over the same trip here 15 days ago was a step back in the right direction; has some appealing form to his name at 2m, so very much in the mix. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Dual Kempton winner in 2023 and he's very well handicapped judged on form as recent as one year ago; Bahrain last winter did not go well for new connections, however, and although there was a whiff of his old form when seventh of 13 over C&D on his British return in May, he tailed off at Epsom ten days later; soft ground might excuse that but there are questions to answer. |
16/1 |

10th 11 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Locally trained runner who offered something to work on when seventh of 13 at Kempton (1m4f, AW) on his British return ten days ago; also has form on good to soft but latest effort still leaves him with work to do and he finished tailed off in the 2023 running of this. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Often a front-runner; 3-7 on AW but he's 0-4 on turf and latest third to Elsass at Hamilton (1m3f, good) was no more than respectable; untested on good to soft or worse but his pedigree may given some encouragement, as his dam is closely related to outstanding performer Enable whose 15 wins included the 2017 Oaks over C&D and four of her Group 1 wins were on softer than good. |
16/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 3 |

Often a front-runner; won at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in October and December and at Meydan (1m3f, dirt) in January; merely mid-division back in Britain at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) six weeks ago, but that was a hot race; turf form (first three starts) is nowhere near his handicap mark. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft) last October and reappeared with a good second at Goodwood (1m6f, good) in May, both from the front; soft ground was likely to blame at Epsom on Derby Day but recent return to action was pretty spectacular when a change in tactics saw him come from last to first in a well-contested 13-runner race at Southwell (1m3f, AW); has a 4lb penalty after that narrow win but this lightly raced 4yo now promises better still and a good 5lb claimer is enlisted; player if the ground isn't too soft. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Looked a progressive sort last year (3-5) and ran well to finish runner-up on his Goodwood reappearance (1m6f, good) in May; soft ground the likely reason for his dismal effort at Epsom (1m4f) on Derby Day and better expected if taking to the AW. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |

Unraced as a juvenile but now boasts 3-6 record, winning his first two and back on the scoresheet when making all at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft) in October; bumped into a quite well-regarded sort when second at Goodwood (1m6f, good) a fortnight ago and this unexposed 4yo looks a big contender to build on that encouraging return. |

Won twice over C&D for Ben Brookhouse last summer, including this race by a wide margin (cheekpieces first time) when rated just 1lb lower; only run to form once in four starts for George Baker this year and he was tailed off on soft ground here when last seen in June; Patrick Mullins has been booked this afternoon and not unreasonable to think this race has been on the agenda for a while; respected. |
7/1 |

13th 14 (16) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
The second runner for local trainer George Baker and this one has an enviable 3-4 record here, having picked up two Ladies' Derbys (2024 and 2025) in addition to the Amateurs' Derby last year when trained by Ben Brookhouse; not discounted on that score but this is a good bit hotter than those events; refitted tongue-tie could be a plus. |
16/1 |

9th 7 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
In the form of his life when winning four in a row for Ben Brookhouse last summer, namely a maiden hurdle followed by three Flat handicaps over 1m2f and 1m4f (twice) on good/good to firm; better effort in Bahrain for George Baker this year when third of seven over 1m2f (good to firm) five weeks ago; returns to Britain on a career-high mark and may prove vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |
