19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Reinvigorated by a visor this summer, winning three times (5f) and only narrowly denied in the Portland at Doncaster last week; his form claims are there for all to see but whether a stiff 6f on slow ground is really what he needs is a moot point. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 13 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
The addition of a visor has had a galvanising effect this summer and he has won three of his last four starts, the latest a cheeky win at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good); this intermediate trip shouldn't pose any problems and going back up 4lb is manageable; tops the list. |
13/2 |

1st 12 (19) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Classy sprinter back in the day and the new visor has been floating his boat with recent form figures of 121 in 5f handicaps, latterly getting up in the nick of time at Newmarket; only 3lb higher and this hold-up performer should have this run to suit; finished fifth in last year's Stewards' Cup, faring best in his group; firmly in calculations. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win in 5f AW novice as 2yo; involved in two tight finishes at 5f (AW and good to firm) in July but the suitability of 6f on soft ground needs to be proved following a fading eighth of ten at Goodwood recently; usually visored, first-time blinkers today; yard won this last year. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

In form over 5f last month, not disgraced when favourite for competitive event at Glorious Goodwood most recently; a possible danger provided he's as effective back at 6f. |
13/2 |

8th 16 (2) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Novice winner who is threatening to win his first handicap having been denied narrowly this month by Naana's Sparkle and Twilight Calls; a late bump didn't help his cause last time at Newmarket and the visor (on for last three races) is working well; possibilities. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Ran a stormer over C&D on his seasonal return; the ground went against him at Epsom on Derby day and he has quickly bounced back with placed efforts at Beverley and Newmarket; up 2lb for latest near-miss but still on a good mark; Oisin Murphy booked; decent chance. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
First run for Michael Keady when winning this race 12 months ago off a 3lb higher mark; two good runs on fast ground this year (below par on slower going in the Epsom Dash) and he's likely to make another bold bid. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Blows hot and cold but he is on a dangerous mark and his second of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in May was a fine effort; subsequent run in the Dash at Epsom can be forgiven (ground) and this should be more to his liking; other pace influences on show. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Not the easiest to win with but he rewarded strong support when landing a Class 4 handicap at Sandown (5f, good to soft) in August; never dangerous in the Portland three weeks ago but this is more manageable and he finished second in this race last year off a 5lb higher mark. |

16th 21 (13) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Not the easiest to win with but he rewarded strong support when landing a Class 4 handicap at Sandown (5f, good to soft) two weeks ago; back up 3lb but that's less of a concern than the stiffer opposition. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Both wins over 5f; has a hold up style which dictates that he needs things to fall right but he's now 8lb lower than when second to Roach Power at Ascot (5f, soft) last autumn and he didn't run too badly in a series final at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; considered with Roger Teal among the winners. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Only seen sporadically in recent times and is tried in first-time headgear on his Polytrack debut; there's other pace in here and he'll need something close to a career-best effort back from a short break. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time Southwell winner who offered a bit more back there early last month; handicapper eased off, following a barren spell on turf, but he's pulled hard more than once over this trip, including when wearing a hood (missing again tonight). |
7/1 |
|
12th 3 (12) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Having dropped down the weights he ran pretty well when fourth of 12 at Southwell (6f, AW) three weeks ago and is now another 1lb lower; however, he needs something extra and is just 1-16 on turf as opposed to 4-14 on AW. |

Four course wins, the latest off 2lb higher over this trip in February; found valuable series final at Windsor too competitive last month but he's of interest back here, despite his wide draw. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
The vast majority of his recent racing has come at 5f and he's unraced at 7f; however, he wasn't stopping at the line when third here (6f, good) last Saturday and this trip is worth a go. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Won the same Class 4 at the other Newmarket track (5f, visored) in July for the third consecutive year; held in a higher grade subsequently but he's now just 2lb higher and this drop back into calmer waters must help; no headgear for his first visit to the Rowley, though. |

12th 6 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Back to winning ways in a small-field Class 4 handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in July; he has come up short twice since and looks vulnerable for win purposes. |

A four-time 6f scorer for Ismail Mohammed; yet to hit top form in a trio of runs for his current yard this season and beat only one in 6f Hamilton handicap 24 days ago; not easy to make a case for. |
20/1 |
|
11th 7 (2) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All four wins have been on the AW; ran an encouraging race when fourth of eight on his stable debut at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in June but he wasn't able to build on that when dropped back to 5f at Newmarket (good to firm) last month; back up in trip. |
16/1 |
|
9th 5 (1) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Better known for AW exploits and has had few chances on turf, running his best race in this sphere when fourth of eight at Newbury (6f, good to soft; stable debut after 223 days off) four weeks ago; potentially well treated and he's interesting with that run behind him. |

9st 10lb |
C&D nursery winner last December off 7lb lower who's likely to be dropped in as usual from stall 7; enjoyed a consistent summer in slightly better company on turf and is one to consider in first-time blinkers (wore cheekpieces a few times last autumn). |
8/1 |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
3yo who has been in and out but has shown two glimpses of serious promise for his new yard this season, posting an encouraging fourth at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in July and returning to form with close sixth in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last Wednesday, when he would have posed more of a threat with a clear passage; on the shortlist. |

16th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |

Both wins came in 6f maiden/novice events at Ayr last year for Archie Watson; caught the eye when fourth at Ascot (5f, good to firm) on his second start for this yard but he's struggled in two starts since; now drops in grade with cheekpieces on for the first time; return to 6f may suit. |

11th 12 (13) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Record is only 1-10 but she's fairly useful and has performed well in 5f contests (handicap/Listed) at Sandown this term; played up beforehand and withdrawn from an intended engagement at York two weeks ago; Ryan Moore booked and she could do better yet. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Record is only 1-10 but she's fairly useful and has performed well in 5f contests (handicap/Listed) at Sandown this term; perhaps best not to take latest effort literally but in going back up just 1lb the assessor hasn't overreacted; again has frame possibilities. |
