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. |

9st 9lb |
Ex-Richard Hannon; off the mark for the Quinn team when making virtually all in a 22-runner handicap at York Dante meeting (6f, good); bounced straight back from a lesser run at Thirsk when second at Ripon; made all for a 6f Chester win three weeks ago; stable won this with Mr Wagyu in 2022. |

Ex-Richard Hannon; off the mark for the Quinn team when making virtually all in a 22-runner handicap at York Dante meeting (6f, good) in May and bounced straight back from a lesser run at Thirsk when 2l second of seven at Ripon (6f, good) nine days ago; same mark this afternoon; bold show likely from a handy draw. |

8st 13lb |
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. |

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

Seems best on the AW these days and has run poorly on his last three turf outings; his hopes hinge on a recent wind operation having a positive effect. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Looked one to follow when bolting up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in December; had numerous excuses for a series of subsequent defeats but things finally clicked again at York (6f, good to firm) last week, gamely repelling 20 rivals; 2lb wrong under his penalty but he has Group-race aspirations and shouldn't be passed over lightly. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Just one win to his name since returning to action in November and that is scant reward for some fine efforts, including an unlucky defeat over 5f here in May; good third at Chester (6f, good; drawn wide) four weeks ago; remains a sprinter of interest. |
7/1 |

Finished strongly and nearly got up from a difficult position in 5f contest at York (good) last month; respectable eighth of 28 when stepped back up to 7f for the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (good to firm) last week; enters calculations. |

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. |
33/1 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Recorded 33-1 success in a valuable 6f York handicap last summer and has run some good races over that trip as a 3yo, including when overcoming a wide draw with aplomb at Chester in May; failed to stay 7f on the AW on her final 2yo start but might have needed a rest by then; has a bit to prove but it's possible she'll fare better on this second attempt at the trip. |
12/1 |

4th 9 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Did well to overcome stall 12 over C&D (good) at the end of May; failed to fire in a valuable 3yo handicap at York (22 runners) a fortnight ago but a lot better can be expected up against her elders in a less competitive race, particularly as she's bagged the inside stall. |

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. |
16/1 |

5th 4 (8) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Won the 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) last June and left reappearance behind when good fourth of 20 in the Dash there (5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; just as effective at 6f and can play a prominent role from an unchanged mark. |
13/2 |
|
4th 6 (16) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
In 2025 she took a big step forward from her seasonal return when sweeping through late to collar Lexington Blitz in the 3yo Dash on this card; also won at Wolverhampton in July (6f, AW) off 1lb higher than today; never a threat at York last month on return to action but it's not unreasonable to expect much better today and she is sure to get a strong pace to aim at. |

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. |
11/2 |

9th 2 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
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. |
13/2 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ideally suited by going around a left-hand bend, with his six wins coming here and at Wolverhampton; 10lb higher than for his win in this race last year and the widest draw isn't a big selling point today; cheekpieces join the hood today. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
First win for nearly two years when he picked up a Windsor handicap (6f, good to firm) off 3lb lower in May and his subsequent effort at Chester, when never competitive, was a puzzling one a fortnight ago; same mark but it would not be a big surprise if he bounced back. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Prevailed at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month, proving suited by the return to turf and belatedly registering a first win since joining Ian Williams; a 3lb rise still leaves him feasibly handicapped on the best of last year's form. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

1st 2 (7) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Thrown in on last season's best form and there were glimmers of a revival at Epsom on Derby Day (6f, soft); drops in class and looks likely to pop up soon but drying ground won't play to his strengths now back to 5f. |
