19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Ran creditably at Sandown last time, taking record in 1m2f handicaps to 213; runner-up in both attempts under Jamie Spencer, including over 1m on this card 12 months ago; may still have more to offer over this distance; very solid claims. |

3rd 12 (6) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Only 2lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) in July, and he's still well handicapped judged on the pick of his form from last autumn; saddle slipped when down the field in the Shergar Cup three weeks ago; tactically versatile, and plenty of rain would not inconvenience him in the slightest; has rock-solid credentials. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Looked as though he needed further than 1m when a rallying fourth at Newmarket in June and he duly obliged returned to 1m2f at Sandown; didn't have a lot in hand that day but only went up 2lb and he could approve for going even further this afternoon. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 5yo; close second in this contest last year and filled the same position behind Stem at Sandown on reappearance; however, needs to rebound having failed to beat a rival at Ascot last time. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
1m2f/11.5f novice winner who was purchased out of the Gosden stable for 58,000gns in the autumn; encouraging stable debut when second over 1m2f at Sandown three weeks ago, when he dropped some strong hints the step back up to this trip would see him in even better light; interesting. |

Returned from a year off to reach the frame in competitive 1m2f handicaps at York (good) and Newbury (good to soft) last September; sold from the Gosden stable for 58,000gns last autumn and absent for a further 287 days ahead of this return for new yard. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |

Dual course winner in the past and completed a double elsewhere in April; however, finished behind Tony Montana at Glorious Goodwood most recently and is rather weighted to the hilt off current mark. |
14/1 |
|
10th 13 (7) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Has won twice at this track, albeit in very different races to this; 1m2f wins at Newbury and Epsom (made all) on good ground in April and ran well again when third at Sandown this month on good to firm; each-way player if he's in the same form. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |

Better than ever with 1m2f wins at Newbury and Epsom (made all) on good ground in April but a further 5lb rise proved enough to stop him at York last time; might be vulnerable again. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
7lb beneath the mark he defied at Sandown in July 2025 (1m2f, good to firm) but he's not made the same impact this season and now looks exposed; blinkers are turned to; others are way more intriguing. |
8/1 |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Held up; picked up one 1m2f Sandown handicap in summer 2024 and 2025; hasn't quite had the same impact this season, including twice at that track and when tried in cheekpieces on latest start, but he is now 6lb below his peak mark and a case can be made. |

Likes this C&D and won this race in 2024; creditable fourth to Stem here in July but then ran poorly at Ascot; now has cheekpieces fitted. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Smart efforts in defeat at Listed/Group 3 level last season but hasn't come close to reproducing that form returned to handicaps this season, including with cheekpieces added last time; being eased another 3lb can only help but leap of faith needed. |
20/1 |

11th 8 (13) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won on soft as 2yo; reappearance win last April saw him pitched afterwards into Listed and Group events, in which he was initially on the premises but his handicap mark shot up as a result; ninth of 12 to Respond at Chester wasn't a greatly auspicious return to handicap company on reappearance this season and connections now reach for headgear. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |

Highly tried after making a winning reappearance at Nottingham (1m2f, good) a year ago; proven fresh, but hard to know how well treated he is for this return to handicap company. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Finally off the mark for this yard when comfortably too strong for eight rivals at Ripon (1m, soft; tongue tied first time); up 5lb but conditions will suit and he is another to consider. |
13/2 |

1st 6 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo; 0-8 this term for new yard but is proving consistent, creditable third when favourite at Hamilton (1m1f) most recently; this may be the day to catch him, with tongue-tie worn for the first time. |
4/1 |

3rd 6 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |

Sole win came at Cork (1m2f, soft) in April 2024 when trained by Dermot Weld but has posted some good efforts for this stable, including when fourth of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; now steps back up in trip with each-way claims. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has reportedly been plagued by injuries and hasn't been able to build on his sole win at Newcastle AW last October; still 4lb above his winning mark but does seem more effective on AW. |
5/1 |
|
7th 12 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |

Seems to have an aversion to anything away from soft ground on turf, but is proving consistent on the AW (2312); one for the shortlist. |
12/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Best efforts on AW, including second at Newcastle (1m2f) late last month; never dangerous when 16-1 at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) nine days later, but today's race is much less competitive than his other two turf handicaps this term. |

16th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
1m1f winner at York in June but disappointing at Sandown next time on his only attempt at 1m2f; respectable efforts (1m1f/1m) on his last two starts, the latest on good to soft when wearing first-time cheekpieces, but he needs to find a bit extra. |
11/2 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Seems well suited by York and followed an encouraging reappearance there with a big-field win over this trip (good; effective on heavy) on that course in June; perhaps has share of weight now but a return to 1m and the fitting of cheekpieces could spice things up. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Showed improved form when beating 15 rivals to land a 0-85 York handicap in June (1m1f, good) but he disappointed when favourite at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last month; may be capable of bouncing back. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Back on the mark he defied over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in March but recent efforts haven't been obviously encouraging, for all the 7f trip of the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot is almost certainly too short for him these days. |
33/1 |
|
19th 27 (27) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Effective at 7f earlier in career but seems to need much further now and gained last three wins over 1m4f/1m6f (stays 2m); still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf in any case and looks unlikely to figure in this hot prize, back down sharply in distance. |
66/1 |
|
9th 6 (11) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Moving up to 1m4f worked well in December and comparable form at 1m6f/2m since, including another win three starts back; he's come up a bit short in warmer races this year, though, including behind Align The Stars at Kempton, and none of his turf form (admittedly at up to 1m2f) is close to this mark. |
