2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner (made all both times), including when beating Travel Agent in April; below his best on turf next time but he's been placed on the AW in both starts since; contender. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Enjoying a consistent year, winning twice from the front at Kempton since the blinkers went on (doesn't have to lead); nothing wrong with his clear second at Southwell a month ago and holds decent claims despite a further 2lb rise. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got the better of a rival who has won twice since when scoring at Kempton three weeks ago (6f); not in the same form at Nottingham last time but it was 5f and he had an inexperienced apprentice on board; high on the list back at 6f and returned to AW. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Fairly reliable 5yo who kept on well for narrow success at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; subsequent 2lb rise is manageable and this longer trip also suits; probably won't be far away. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f handicap at Kempton in January and he has run several good races since, notably a narrow defeat back at Kempton two weeks ago; Billy Loughnane retains the ride; as this 5yo showed at Ascot in May, he's a strong contender back on fast turf. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 5 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner in January off a 1lb higher mark than today's and he's posted some good efforts since, including when fifth of 18 in a 0-80 at Ascot in May; beaten about 3l when sixth at Goodwood (7f, soft) 25 days ago and now drops in grade. |

9st 9lb |
Ran a blinder from the outside stall when beaten a short head and a neck into third of 11 at Kempton (6f, Polytrack; first-time cheekpieces) 19 days ago; has winning form on Tapeta and respected back down to Class 6. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 10 (11) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner early last year when trained by Phil McEntee and his other success came on the AW at Southwell in October; reported to have lost both shoes when fifth at Newbury (6f, good to firm) nine days ago and may come on for that first start since January; cheekpieces added. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner, most recently at Lingfield (6f) in January off the same mark as today's; left the impression he's still in form on soft ground at Salisbury 23 days ago and has place claims back on the AW. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (11) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All four wins have been on the AW but he does act on turf; beaten 4l when second of five at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) ten days ago but soft ground would be a slight concern. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Consistent gelding who's usually ridden from off the pace; no obvious reason why he won't go well once more, back over an easier 6f, returning from a short break. |

23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Took his time about getting off the mark but he did so in good style on Lingfield AW (7f) ten days ago and, although back up 9lb, he went close off this mark at Ascot last September; also has form over this C&D (one attempt); solid claims. |
11/4 |
|
1st 1 (13) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
16-race maiden but he was runner-up three times last season and wasn't beaten far when fifth in new headgear at Kempton (6f, AW) 11 days ago; that was eye-catching from off the pace and he's in the mix back up in trip. |
5/1 |
|
5th 6 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
15-race maiden but he did finish runner-up on three occasions last year (twice on the AW); however, he's been down the field in three starts this year and drops back in trip with a bit to prove; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins came over 7f at Kempton AW in 2024 when trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy; has had no success with Edward Smyth-Osbourne since and makes stable debut for shrewd yard off a career-low mark; market will be best guide. |
7/2 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner over 7f for his previous stable but was third over this trip at Windsor in September; well held in both starts since returning from a break and first-time blinkers now replace cheekpieces; dropped another 3lb. |
14/1 |
|
10th 4 (8) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All three wins came on the AW when trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy but he's twice been placed on turf since joining this stable, including on soft; well held at Pontefract (6f, good) in April but may have needed that first start for 194 days. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Good run of form in the spring included successive wins on AW in April and solid second on turf (also 6f wearing eye-shields) in May; not so good subsequently and he couldn't justify a strong market move back on AW a fortnight ago; bit to prove on this drop back to 5f but last time was a step back in the right direction. |
9/1 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time AW winner, most recently at Lingfield (6f) in April off 2lb lower; well held at Yarmouth on his last two starts but has an excuse three weeks ago (reared leaving the stalls); returning to the AW could suit. |

9st 13lb |
All six wins, three on AW, have been over 6f; best run this season was when second over 5f at Ffos Las last month (good); chance on that run but this faster going not sure to suit. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (9) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Missed 2025 but ran well when second of seven over this C&D in March on his first start for 702 days; struggled on his next two starts but returned to form when going close at Ffos Las (5f) nine days ago; this dual C&D will be suited by the return to this trip and has strong claims. |
7/2 |

2nd 2 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

3-35, with the latest success coming at Lingfield (7f, AW) in December off a mark 8lb higher than today's; never featured over this trip at Wolverhampton 31 days ago and better is needed. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins, and most racing, come over 7f, including when making all on his second start for this yard on Polytrack off 6lb higher in the winter; not at his best lately and, while well drawn, may not get his own way as he likes back down in trip. |
16/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all to win a 7f AW handicap at Lingfield in December, his second start for Mark Loughnane; in and out since that success but no doubt he is handicapped to go well and he has run well over C&D in the past (including finishing second in this race year off 4lb higher); one to consider with Billy Loughnane back in the saddle. |

Novice winner over 6f on turf last summer and finished third of nine in a handicap at Newcastle (6f, AW) in January; left Andrew Balding for 10,000gns and beat only one home at Kempton a month ago (6f; 66-1). |

10th 9 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won a Leicester novice (6f, good to firm) last July and he was third of nine in a handicap at Newcastle (6f, AW) in January; down the field on his final start for Andrew Balding and now makes his stable debut (bought for 10,000gns) after 153 days off; watch the betting. |
20/1 |

9th 12 (3) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Made all to win a 6f novice at Leicester last summer and a return to positive tactics saw him return to form when third at Newcastle two weeks ago (6f); P J McDonald replaces a 7lb claimer; easy lead seems unlikely in this field, however. |

Five-time AW winner who went close at Lingfield (5f) in March and ran well there over 6f in April, finishing third of five (beaten a length); never got involved there 28 days ago but he could go well returned to 6f. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

C&D winner who came close to ending a losing AW run when a fast-closing runner-up here (5f) in March (5f); returns to this C&D for the first time since and ought to go well if the race falls his way. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |

All three wins came on turf when trained by Hugo Palmer, the most recent at Chester in September; 0-12 on the AW but he did post a solid effort when a 1l fourth of seven at Lingfield (5f, AW) 28 days ago; steps back up in trip. |
