11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two course wins in June (6f, soft and 7f, good); ran poorly at York three weeks ago and has the widest stall to deal with this time. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won two in a row at Chester (6f/7f, soft/good) in June and respectable efforts at Chester (7.5f, good) and Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) since; however, he needs something extra on today's first attempt at 1m if he's to land a competitive handicap such as this. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Has form figures of 114, all at Chester (6f and around 7f), since being gelded (maiden previously); not disgraced last time but has something to prove off the same mark switched to a different venue and upped in grade. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Contested last year's Group 3 Acomb in between wins over 7f (one at Wolverhampton); still lightly raced and denied only late on last time at Chester (7f) where he appeared to have that in the bag when kicking clear after disputing the lead throughout; that effort is worthy of an upgrade; interesting. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced sort who made a winning start for Marco Botti in 7f Wolverhampton handicap on Boxing Day; faded as if possibly needing his first outing since when sixth of ten at Sandown (7f, good) 14 days ago; entitled to come on for the run. |
11/2 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Only defeat last year came in a Group 3 at York and, having left previous yard for 50,000gns, he beat a subsequent winner to justify favouritism in an AW handicap on Boxing Day (7f); won that nicely enough to believe a 7lb rise is manageable, and clearly open to further progress. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A fair 6f winner for Harry Charlton in 2025; proving consistent without winning for his current yard and comes here on the back of a good fourth of 15 in 7f York handicap last time; needs considering in a first-time visor. |
7/1 |

Running okay for his new stable this year without suggesting he was ahead of his mark; others preferred for win purposes. |
20/1 |

5th 3 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Newmarket maiden winner for Harry Charlton last August (6f, good to firm); subsequently sold for 90,000gns; building momentum in handicaps for his new yard, last time holding every chance over C&D and going down by a length; solid prospects off 1lb lower. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Heavy-ground 2yo maiden winner who came from a tough position to win valuable final here (7f, good) last October; hasn't kicked on this season but he returned to his best with close second of six at Newmarket last month (1m, good to firm; ran minus a plate); worth a second look given his course form. |
40/1 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Had some good 2yo form, as when winning both starts at about 7f, and this campaign has a somewhat luckless look to it so far, albeit slow starts aren't helping; his one start over 1m, in a valuable Carlisle handicap in May, was inconclusive regarding stamina but he remains of interest. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Still to add to his debut win but twice a runner-up in handicaps this summer, more recently at Lingfield (7f, AW) three weeks ago; handles good to soft but untried on slower; dangerous if left alone up front. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried following his successful debut at Ayr (6f, good) in June last year and wasn't up to it; second of nine in a handicap at Chester (7.7f, good to soft) in June, but has enough to prove after a modest AW debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month. |
7/2 |
|
8th 1 (9) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Highly tried last year; has shown this mark is within range since handicapping this season, including from wide stalls at Chester; again might have been better drawn on this AW debut (dam did her winning for the yard on turf) in first-time headgear. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Down the field in hot 3yo handicap over C&D (good to soft) at the Ebor meeting and it will be a concern if slow ground prevails again; however, he drops back down in grade today and he's well handicapped on the pick of his course form; not discounted. |
25/1 |
|
15th 18 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
It was a small field at Ripon (1m, good to firm) in which he returned to form last time, when battling it out with Command The Stars and Noelan Star, and this is much more competitive; however, his two best RPRs have come at York and he's 4lb lower than when second of 14 here (7f, good) in May; could go well at a big price if conditions suit (unproven on slow ground). |
40/1 |

2nd 4 (2) |
27th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Plenty of racing last year and this, and has generally struggled this season; did not appear to see it out in a few runs beyond 7f and Beyond The Bar looks his trainer's best chance. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Her four wins in the first half of 2026 included one at this track (7f); creditable second at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; stays 7.6f but this is her first attempt at 1m. |
11/2 |

2nd 3 (4) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four AW wins from 5f to 7f; respectable sixth of 12 at York (6f, good) before two visits to Chester where she was scuppered by the widest stall on the first occasion and then raced freely when better drawn a month ago; could go well if giving herself a chance. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

Four AW wins from 5f to 7f; good sixth of 12 at York (6f, good) before scuppered by the widest stall over 7f here four weeks ago; better boxed this afternoon and she likes to be handy in her races; interesting. |
