8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Slightly disappointing off this career-high mark when dropped back to 7f at Yarmouth last month but won twice over the straight 1m there (good to firm) in June and further progress is not yet out of the question. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (1) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Course specialist who has won over 1m here on his last two starts (good to firm; for Taryn Langley), most recently 19 days ago off a 4lb lower mark than today's; needs things to drop right given the way he's ridden but he can't be dismissed now returned to 7f. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Yarmouth specialist who turned things around with a comfortable success over C&D (good to firm) last week; only 3lb higher under a penalty and he's a major player again in his bid for a fifth course win. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in June but reportedly unsuited by the going when disappointing there two months ago; 0-12 on turf compared to 5-13 on the AW and makes some appeal back on this surface. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time AW winner over 1m and he was runner-up on turf over this C&D two weeks ago on his first start for 270 days; the winner has won again since; has major claims in the returning cheekpieces. |
15/8 |

2nd 10 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Drew a blank in 2025 after a successful time of things in 2024; returns from nine months off on a dangerous mark but he is a better horse on AW. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Last year's heroics were always going to be a tough act to follow but he got back on the scoresheet with a last-gasp win at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month; back up 3lb but he remains feasibly treated and could be a big factor again back up in trip. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last year's heroics were always going to be a tough act to follow but the addition of cheekpieces, allied to a reduced mark, have seen an upturn in his fortunes since June; latest Windsor second (1m, good to firm; stable debut) wasn't far off his best and he's high on the list with Billy Loughnane aboard for the first time. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time turf winner; cheekpieces applied for final three races and after two thirds (1m) he got no luck in running at Chester; now having first run for Tom Ward and wouldn't rule out. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Four-time winner who has been as good as ever in defeat this season, latterly with cheekpieces on for a visor at Newmarket (7f, good to firm; has won at 1m); has run well in his two previous starts at Ascot; respected. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Two course wins at 1m; two good efforts for new yard this year but a promising-looking run came to nothing when back over 1m at York last time; still worth a look returned to 7f in his first course run since last summer's win; first-time cheekpieces replace regular visor. |
8/1 |
|
8th 6 (14) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won two from five last season and looks as good as ever this term, fourth in a big field at Ascot two weeks ago; effective at 7f and 1m; should be in the thick of things again. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Winless since 2024 but he was right back on track with second of 11 in 7f AW handicap at Lingfield last month; must enter calculations off the same mark. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Winner here but that was in 2023 and there's been no win anywhere since July 2024; not far away this summer and he continues down the weights but latest performance (C&D) won't cut the mustard; first-time tongue-tie joins the recent cheekpieces. |
9/1 |
|
5th 6 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
All four wins have been at 1m including three on Polytrack; well treated on old form and he's run respectably in last two starts but his last win was over two years ago and others are more persuasive. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice on turf in the summer of 2023 but better known for his AW exploits since; well beaten at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) on last month's return to grass; others are safer. |
20/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
A regular on the AW here (three wins) who's much higher in the weights than when last seen frequently on turf; generally consistent but whether he's up to this mark on grass is the leading question, and Quamby looks his trainer's best chance. |
25/1 |
|
13th 14 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here and just 1lb higher than when beating a dual subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in January, but he has the outside stall and will require some luck given his come-from-behind style. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins for James Owen this year, the latest over 1m here (good to firm) 18 days ago; a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Dual 7f winner this season; looked as good as ever when clear second to progressive rival at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago but recent 4lb rise demands a bit more from him here. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins have been at 7f but has form over this far and it might yet end up being his best trip; due a 1lb rise after finding one too good at Yarmouth last time (7f); unlikely to be too far away. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Proved expensive to follow for James Owen on AW over the winter and he was tailed off back on turf here (1m2f, good) in April; down in the weights but he has a point to prove on his first run for Hayley Burton (same owner). |
14/1 |

13th 2 (13) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won AW maiden (about 1m1f) in France last spring; rather up and down over a range of trips for this yard, albeit this is easier than the two turf handicaps contested in Britain; hood refitted; reservations remain. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Promise over C&D (good to firm) on debut last May; best efforts since have come on AW, including his breakthrough success at Kempton four weeks ago (1m); up in class and back on turf but he does smack of one with a fair bit more to come. |
5/2 |
|
1st 2 (9) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-race maiden but he's finished runner-up twice including in a C&D handicap (5-1) two weeks ago; looks interesting off only 1lb higher and he still has potential as a handicapper. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Placed once in four starts and that was when a well-held second of three in a Newcastle novice (1m, Tapeta) in October; surprising if he isn't capable of better, though, given his pedigree and 240,000gns price tag. |
7/2 |
