10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won three of his five handicaps, including warm events on good to firm at Ascot (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m3f) in his two starts this season; firmly in charge on first occasion and absolutely hacked up when 5-6 favourite in the latter 16 days ago; shoulders a 6lb penalty today, whereas his mark for future engagements is 11lb higher still; that suggests he wins today if he stays this new trip, and the dam being sister to a 1m5f-2m winner gives plenty of encouragement; deservedly a hot favourite. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Fairly unexposed sort who showed his best form when taking 14-runner Ascot handicap (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; that race has worked out well, with the third and fourth winning big handicaps at Royal Ascot and at Epsom on Derby day respectively, so a 5lb rise now looks on the lenient side; form of his close second on final start of last year was also boosted at last week's royal meeting and he's a key contender. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Winning handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last August; didn't fire in the same way back at Kempton (1m3f) next time but resumed his progression in no uncertain terms when close second in valuable 3yo handicap at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on final start, form which was strongly boosted last weekend by the winner (Yabher) and third (Daiquiri Bay); could have a big say if the betting suggests he's ready to roll after 211 days off. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Won his first two starts when trained by Karl Burke; encouraging stable debut at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) in June and was best of the rest behind a handicap blot at Carlisle next time; however, he needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at York (1m4f, good to firm) last month. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Promising return from absence when fourth at Chester (10.5f, good to soft) for new yard last month and he was best of the rest behind a handicap blot in the Cumberland Plate at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) since; enters calculations. |
8/1 |

2nd 4 (3) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |

2-2 as a juvenile but he didn't progress at three (quite highly tried) and left Karl Burke for 25,000gns that October; missed last year but there was plenty of encouragement when fourth at Chester (10.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; fairly quick second run back from a long absence sounds a note of caution but his yard's in fine form; respected. |

9st 9lb |
Two solid efforts for new stable, latterly beaten a short head into second at Ayr (1m5f, good to firm) 18 days ago; twice a winner over hurdles but this will be the first time he has tackled 2m on the Flat. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |

Placed over hurdles this season and was third (albeit no match for wide-margin winner) in Cumberland Plate at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) when back on the Flat for new stable last month; respected off same mark in this easier race. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 (8) |

Dual Flat winner for Harry Eustace (1m2f, good) who also scored twice over hurdles for Jedd O'Keeffe; became very inconsistent for latter yard, however, and he was picked up for £20,000 one month ago; refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces for this stable debut. |

0-8; finished fourth of 15 on her third start for the yard at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm; 50-1) last time, but was still 15l behind the winner; another 2lb drop not enough to tempt. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Showed ability in Irish maidens for Noel Meade but yet to get going in two starts for this yard, latterly in a hood (now removed) at Thirsk last month; this is just her third handicap but it's a tough one in which to stage a revival. |
40/1 |

9th 11 (9) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |

Ran in five maidens in Ireland for Noel Meade, finishing second on the final occasion (1m4f, heavy); has also shown promise on good ground; she could improve for last month's stable/seasonal debut at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) but was soundly beaten and others have more pressing claims; a hood goes on. |

8st 2lb |
Running away with a 2m2f race on heavy going under 7lb claimer at Nottingham last October was a clear career best at the time; virtually matched that form in three of his races in a mixed campaign this year and maybe an increased stamina test will help, but being 5lb out of the handicap won't. |

Won at Carlisle (1m6f, good) last month and bounced back from lesser run there (1m3f, good to firm) when third over this C&D a fortnight ago (stablemate Furhaan second); might not be far away. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |

Probably best known for Musselburgh exploits but last two wins were at Nottingham last October and Carlisle last month; below form on sole start here (last October) but probably best forgiven being well beaten 17 days ago as that was just 1m3f; chief concern is that he needs another career best. |

Perhaps best over further but he was only nabbed late on over C&D last week and, although 1lb higher, Toby Moore rides him for the first time claiming 7lb; can be inconsistent but he's run three excellent races in defeat around here; solid chance. |

Won once each in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 but has not scored since and this season he's not at all been the force of old; wore cheekpieces on last two outings, with a respectable show on first occasion; the last of his three AW races was in 2024; unpersuasive. |
25/1 |

8th 8 (9) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not the force of old but, after a couple of modest efforts, his latest fifth of 18 at York (10.5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) was a step back in the right direction; shaped as though this stiffer test might suit on that occasion so interesting to see if the headgear works a second time for in-form yard. |

Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young this May, culminating with a Carlisle win (good; made all); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been disappointing in his last two runs and this is step back up in grade; one of three runners for Jim Goldie. |

Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young up in trip this May, culminating with C&D success (good; made all) off 4lb lower five weeks ago; the Cumberland Plate proved a bridge too far here ten days ago but this is easier. |

Seemingly exposed gelding who has suddenly got on a roll since going back up in trip, scoring on good ground at Hamilton (1m3f), Musselburgh (12.5f) and over C&D last month; has to defy a further 4lb rise in a better race from the widest stall but he can't be ignored attempting a four-timer. |

Won handicaps at Leicester (1m4f, good) and Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) in the spring but he's failed to beat a rival in last two starts; bit to prove but he got shuffled back in a tactical race at Chester last time and has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

Low-mileage 3yo who has won two handicaps (1m4f/1m6f) on turf this season but his form nosedived at Carlisle 17 days ago; still unexposed at this trip but he comes with risks attached after that heavy defeat. |

He has been doing well since being gelded and tackling handicaps on a sound surface, winning four-runner event at Leicester (1m4f) and three-runner race at Redcar (1m6f); far from disgraced in a Class 2 at Doncaster last time, bringing this year's form figures to 21213; not fully exposed and likely capable of better yet. |
