6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Maintained his progress when repelling Victory Ace for a second AW success in May (1m) and Sandown last time didn't go entirely to plan after hitting traffic; remains of interest. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner this year but he's fine on turf too and ran creditably when second of ten at Musselburgh (again 1m, good) in April; up 5lb for latest Kempton success three weeks ago but likely he can do better again. |

9st 9lb |
Solid effort to justify favouritism on his C&D comeback in March, having been gelded, when held up off an ordinary pace; backed that up when one of three to come away behind a cannily ridden winner on turf latest and holds leading claims upped 2lb. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Bagged Yarmouth maiden and Redcar novice (both 7f) last autumn; cheekpieces fitted and right back on track of late, a close sixth of nine in 1m1f Musselburgh handicap 25 days ago; in the mix on his Tapeta debut with blinkers added. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Started career with 7f wins in maiden and novice events (soft/good to soft) but things went haywire after, way behind in Group 3 (9-1) and on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m; 7-1); gelded since though and returned with a much better effort, losing out only late over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces); back up 2lb; should find something similar if the mindset holds. |
13/2 |

2nd 2 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Last year's two wins were over 7f on soft/good to soft before finishing tailed off in a Group 2; he worryingly suffered the same fate on handicap debut at the Craven meeting (1m, good) since when he's been gelded; has a few questions to answer now and the cheekpieces are new. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Made a winning reappearance at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft; first start since being gelded) in April and he also went close there over 1m1f in June; down the field at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm) 12 days ago having raced freely, but it's likely this slight drop back in trip will suit. |
20/1 |

10th 11 (10) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Three wins from ten races, the latest win in April on reappearance; well beaten here in May but that was 7f and he's done much better when finishing close up from towards rear over 1m1f at Musselburgh on his two outings since; better is needed but 1m2f looks plausible. |
25/1 |
|
4th 8 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Three wins at 7f and 1m (on this track; good to soft) but topped those efforts when a running-on close third, just behind Pandemonium over C&D (good; same terms) this month; should have more options now he's shown he stays this far; solid chance for last year's winning yard. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won a Brighton novice (1m, good to firm) last October and has run with credit in handicaps over 1m/1m1f since returning in April, without looking ahead of his mark; this return to a longer trip may help, but others are still preferred. |
6/1 |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
1m novice winner at two and then gelded; slow starts weren't helping matters this season but raced in touch last time at Lingfield (1m1f) and they all bumped into an improver; could go well. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Often pulled hard last year and was gelded over the winter; this season his issue has been blowing the start and that's what cost him any chance last time; up to winning off this mark but has to be considered risky now. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Doubled his tally when narrowly winning over 1m at Newcastle last month and followed up with another narrow AW success here over 7f in first-time cheekpieces two weeks ago; they are now discarded but he's shortlisted off this 4lb higher mark. |
5/1 |

1st 7 (5) |
5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has been racing over further since making a successful handicap debut/reappearance at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in April, narrowly regaining winning form at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) 11 days ago; only 2lb higher and return to this trip shouldn't be an issue; cheekpieces given a go. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Well beaten in a big field at York (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and something to prove after that, but he was second of 14 over the same C&D (good) in June and is not written off. |
3/1 |
|
18th 18 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Promising at up to 1m for Ger Lyons as a 2yo; unplaced in his first two runs (7f/1m1f) for this yard but he turned in a career-best effort when second of 14 (behind a handicap blot; pair clear) over C&D four weeks ago; showed good speed on that occasion and he should make a bold bid from stall 1 despite a 4lb rise. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
1m AW maiden winner in November for Ger Lyons; encouraging stable debut when beaten just over 2l at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) in April but it all went wrong when racing far too freely over 1m1f three weeks ago; takes a sharp drop in trip. |
