1st 2 (9) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who returned a very useful RPR when taking a Windsor maiden (1m) around a year ago; subsequently gelded and he returned with a winning handicap debut over that C&D (also good to firm) 18 days ago; has some stamina in the family and this step up in trip should be no problem for this unexposed sort. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Disappointed at the Shergar Cup at Ascot (no headgear) but all his best form is here and has been close up in three visits since June (hooded for all those), including the John Smith's Cup; again behind the winner of that race here 15 days ago but it was another sound run; he's handicapped about right but has solid claims. |
9/2 |
|
5th 14 (3) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won on soft as 2yo; good C&D record includes a third in this race last year and two placed efforts (latterly John Smith's Cup) in a hood this summer; the hood was left off when well beaten over 1m4f at Ascot a fortnight ago but returns now; capable of bouncing back with each-way claims at a venue which suits, particularly with the yard going well. |
18/1 |
|
9th 7 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Can race freely and hooded for his last two races at York, in the latest finishing a highly respectable third (promoted from fourth) in the John Smith's Cup (extended 1m2f; good to firm) for which he was 4lb well in; now 3lb higher and surprisingly goes without any headgear, but he's got some momentum behind him. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Placed twice on soft last year; beat only one home in a top 1m2f handicap here in July but in career-best form over 1m4f (good to firm) either side of that when winning at Newmarket and second in Shergar Cup race at Ascot; needs some respect. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
His 1m4f win on good to firm at Newmarket in July reads well but has finished behind Castle Stuart in their recent clashes and beat only one home in the John Smith's Cup four weeks ago; probably vulnerable off this mark. |
14/1 |
|
21th 15 (12) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Easy win at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in May before solid third of 16 over this C&D (good), and he improved again to win at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last Saturday; today's assignment is tougher still but this thriving 5yo could be in the each-way mix under a 5lb penalty. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual turf winner who last scored when bagging a 1m2f AW handicap just under a year ago; now 5lb lower but that's still the same mark he was beaten just over 4l at Beverley 10 days ago; likely needs to find a bit extra. |
7/1 |

3rd 11 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ran okay in a Class 2 AW handicap last time as that race didn't go to plan; exposed but he's on a career-low mark and has won on soft ground; couldn't put a line through him. |
12/1 |
|
8th 13 (4) |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran with ten wins to his name; behind some of these on two visits to York this summer but wasn't disgraced in a C&D handicap 15 days ago on a rare foray over this far; could have some part to play. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
In the veteran stage now but his two runs at York this term prove he still retains ability, latterly when sticking on into midfield in valuable 10.5f event a fortnight ago; his sole start at 1m4f (in December 2024) returned his best RPR and this second attempt is well worth another go. |
16/1 |
|
11th 14 (22) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Did well to finish fifth of 16 over C&D (good) on reappearance four weeks ago having been hampered soon after the start and raced wide; however, he goes well fresh so may not improve for that outing, and it's likely this 9yo will be vulnerable against numerous unexposed contenders. |

17th 21 (8) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Progressive last autumn and rediscovered that thread to win at Redcar (1m, good) in May; hasn't been running badly over about 1m2f subsequently but needs something extra if he's to take this. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Rattled off a four-timer (good to firm/good/soft) in 2024 and landed his first two starts of 2025, latterly the City & Suburban (also 1m2f) at Epsom in April; just one good run from four starts in Meydan this winter but his British return, when second at Goodwood with two of these behind six weeks ago, could be a run to build on. |
10/1 |

2nd 9 (11) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

4th 3 (5) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Became disappointing for Joseph O'Brien last year; there's been some promise for current yard and off a reduced mark, and with Jake Dickson taking off another 5lb, he's not dismissed; one of his best RPRs came on good to soft. |
12/1 |

4th 3 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
AW winner when trained in France but he was mostly disappointing for Joseph O'Brien last year; best effort for this stable came when a 2l sixth of 14 at York (1m, good) in June but he didn't fully prove his stamina for this far when an 11l third there 13 days ago; cheekpieces, worn once previously, are back on. |

14/1 |
|
10th 13 (7) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Has won twice at this track, albeit in very different races to this; 1m2f wins at Newbury and Epsom (made all) on good ground in April and ran well again when third at Sandown this month on good to firm; each-way player if he's in the same form. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |

Better than ever with 1m2f wins at Newbury and Epsom (made all) on good ground in April but a further 5lb rise proved enough to stop him at York last time; might be vulnerable again. |

10th 6 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Haydock maiden winner on last year's return and he again made a successful reappearance when impressively taking ten-runner Nottingham handicap (1m2f, good) in April; bit below that form when beaten 8l at Goodwood (City Of Delight second, Urban Glimpse behind) off this mark six weeks ago, however. |

Two wins over 1m2f at Ripon this year (good/good to soft) and a good second to Salamanca City (with whom he is 4lb better off) when stepped up to 1m4f there last time (good); won over 1m2f last September on only previous start here; interesting. |

2nd 1 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field at York and Windsor on his last two starts but he's won on his last four visits to Ripon (1m2f, good/good to soft), including twice this year; it's surprising he's only ever had one crack at 1m4f, given how well he kept on over that trip in 2024; firmly in calculations back here. |

Back to form with a bang when scoring comfortably over C&D (good to firm) six weeks ago, his 20th outing at this track; retains handicapping scope on old form after a 6lb rise but he's yet to win back to back. |

Best efforts on AW, including second at Newcastle (1m2f) late last month; never dangerous when 16-1 at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) nine days later, but today's race is much less competitive than his other two turf handicaps this term. |

Has been smart in his time and is now 10lb lower than when winning the 2023 Cambridgeshire; returned after a long absence in May, but he's been working his way back to form and was only beaten around 2l when fifth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last time; looks worth another try at this trip and he's in the mix back on turf. |

Had been shaping well since joining this stable, including when third of five here over 8.5f in June, prior to getting off the mark at Ayr (1m2f, good) two starts ago; can have a line put through his latest effort in the John Smith's Cup having encountered trouble against the rail; makes the shortlist. |

Went close in C&D handicap (good) at last year's Dante meeting in May; had been gelded when one of three of these who didn't see which way the winner went at Goodwood in May but better effort, albeit well held, when second at Beverley (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; not fully exposed and gets first-time cheekpieces. |

Low-mileage 4yo who showed promise in handicaps at around 1m2f last year, finishing runner-up twice on good; shaped as if needing his Goodwood reappearance after a gelding operation and remains one who should be up to winning handicaps this season; non-runner due to unsuitable ground on good to firm at Windsor earlier in the week but should have a big say if allowed to take his chance. |
