3rd 2 (16) |
13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Coaxed back to his best by the Quinns this year, winning 6f handicaps here and at Chester before narrow defeat to Sondad in the Scurry Handicap; both recent efforts below best however so needs to bounce back but meets Sondad on 8lb better terms. |
14/1 |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Coaxed back to his best by the Quinns this year, winning 6f handicaps here and at Chester and then running a fine race in a hot sprint handicap at the Curragh last month; weakened in the closing stages of the Stewards' Cup, a race in which he was 5lb well in, and a personal best is needed to defy this highest mark of his career over the shortest trip he will have tackled. |
18/1 |

13th 25 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Beat his 21 rivals at York in May and added a handicap at Chester (6f, good) last month; ran a fine race behind Sondad at the Curragh two weeks ago and is 7lb better off for half a length this time; officially the best handicapped horse in the race (5lb ahead of his mark) and another big run should be forthcoming. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Suited by AW; both turf wins on good to firm and although he's 10lb lower than when last to finish in the Gold Cup 12 months ago he has not yet indicated that he handles anything slower than good. |
33/1 |

7th 8 (2) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
On a losing run but he posted a very good second after wind surgery at Chester (6f) in June; went without his usual cheekpieces when last of 21 in 6f York handicap last month; no surprise to see him bounce back. |
25/1 |
|
21th 12 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Three poor runs to begin his turf campaign but he underwent wind surgery in June and returned to form with a close second at Chester (6f, good) four weeks ago; not certain to confirm those placings with Stratusnine. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
C&D win as a 2yo; took a while for things to fall his way this year but his win at York (6f, good to firm) in July was followed by a second-place finish in the Stewards' Cup; ran two fine races at York's Ebor meeting (not ideally drawn on first occasion) but he clearly needs more to defy this mark; talented apprentice's 5lb claim is helpful. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (13) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Form figures of 22216 at York; Wednesday's sixth can be upgraded as he was comfortably on top of those drawn high; returning to 6f should suit and he is proven on slow ground, for all that his best efforts have been on good to firm; high on the list. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (16) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Looked one to follow when bolting up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in December and, after a series of misfortunes befell him early in the year, things have finally clicked this summer; saw off his 20 rivals over 6f here last month and then went down all guns blazing in the Stewards' Cup; another 3lb higher today but may not have reached his ceiling; high draw could be a negative. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
3yo who has raced 13 times and was better than ever when 25-1 Listed runner-up at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; however, she was no match for the winner and is probably up against it today. |
25/1 |
|
2nd 10 (6) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won handicap at Chester (6f, good) in May and ran well when fifth of 20 in competitive fillies' handicap at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good) last time; however, she has plenty to find against the pick of today's opposition. |
33/1 |
|
5th 10 (12) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
York handicap winner last season and overcame a wide draw at Chester in May (6f, good; 4lb lower); good and bad since, though saw too much daylight when returned to 7f at Newmarket last time (behind Machadadorp); better can be expected, assuming she copes with this new experience. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Down the field at York (5f, good) recently but these conditions in an easier race can play more to her strengths and she's favoured by the weights with Arklow Lad on their form in the Dash at Epsom; can go well. |
4/1 |
|
16th 19 (11) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
0-4 this year but retains ability; there's a slight concern that she will get taken off her feet early under these conditions and others appeal more. |
25/1 |
|
15th 3 (18) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won the 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) last term and fourth in the older-horse version this season; just as effective at 6f and she never got a chance to show her true colours last time at Chester; lacking course experience is not ideal but she's not dismissed. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Made all off 1lb lower at Chester (6f, good) in May and wasn't beaten far on any of four subsequent starts there, the latest over 5f from a tough draw; may not be seen to quite the same effect on this straight track, though. |

All six wins have been here and at Wolverhampton, including this race 12 months ago when 6lb lower; close fourth here last time when drawn wide but in a smaller field than today and now he's out in stall 12; cheekpieces tried last time are removed. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Returned from a break with a win at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May but he hasn't come up to scratch on his three outings since. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Smart on his day, as when runner-up to a top 6f handicapper at York (good) last October, and he saw off Desert Cop, Badri and Diligently in some style over C&D in May, despite being switched twice; not so good in two runs since but he's too talented to overlook back on this track. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won races for two previous yards and was a close third on debut for current one (1m1f, good to firm); hasn't kicked on from there, including here two runs back when beating one home over 6f; drops into a claimer but these terms aren't easy. |
8/1 |

7th 1 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Successful for two previous yards and ran creditably at Ayr on debut for current stable; below par in two starts since but likely found 6f too sharp latest; returns to a more suitable distance. |
10/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April (final start for Stuart Williams); good start for Jennie Candlish when third over 1m1f at Ayr (good to firm) but not in the same form when beaten favourite at Carlisle (1m) ten days later; quite a strong traveller over those trips but whether he has the speed for sprinting remains to be seen. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Back to form when taking advantage of a reduced mark at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June; well beaten at Chester (6f) next time but good ground offers a plausible excuse and this stiff 5f will suit; confidence would increase with every drop of rain. |
7/1 |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |

Back to form to take advantage of a reduced mark at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) ten days ago; put back up 8lb and has gained all six wins on going softer than good. |
