22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a 1m6f handicap here last September and gained his first success since when wearing first-time cheekpieces at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; 4lb out of the handicap) in July; however, he failed to beat a rival home at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) last month and returns to the AW needing to bounce back. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Peak efforts on AW but he won on good to firm last May and did so again when he first tried cheekpieces in eight-runner race at Ascot (1m4f; by a neck, led over 2f out) five weeks ago; back up 3lb but in the mix in small field. |

8st 11lb |
Better on AW but he did win on good to firm last May; placed in two of his AW starts last winter but tailed off in a hot 2m race at Easter (hooded) and well beaten when returned to turf at Salisbury in May; now tries cheekpieces and a lower turf mark is largely negated by being 4lb out of the handicap. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Just behind Blue Hercules when initially tried over 1m4f at Ascot in July and similar form when runner-up next time at York; good to soft ground perhaps not ideal in last two runs yet still fared respectably in a deep handicap at the Ebor meeting and latterly dropped to 1m1f at Yarmouth; each-way chance. |

16th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Upped to 1m4f on good to firm when placed at Ascot (made most) and York (under Toby Moore) in July; drops back in trip and ground softer than good poses a question mark, as shown again at York on latest outing. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Soundly beaten at Epsom on Oaks day on sole start on softer than good; upped to 1m4f (good to firm) for his two starts since when third of eight at Ascot (made most) and second of ten under 7lb claimer at York, both solid efforts but a bit extra will be needed to win this; non-runner at Newmarket yesterday. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins on the AW but he's every bit as good on grass and it took a well-handicapped winner (who was in a new visor) to overhaul him at Doncaster (1m6f, good); expect another positive ride back at 1m4f and Harry Vigors takes off a useful 5lb; ran well at this track on his seasonal debut; much respected. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
It looked as if 1m6f stretched him when seventh of 16 at Royal Ascot (every chance 2f out); however, he again came up short in two 1m4f handicaps since, 7l fifth of 16 at the York Ebor meeting last time; something to prove. |

5th 5 (12) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced on softer than good; it looked as if 1m6f stretched him when seventh of 16 at Royal Ascot (every chance 2f out) and that he probably remained in form; however, he again came up short when favourite back over 1m4f at Ascot on latest start; something to prove after that. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Career-best form this term includes a win on her reappearance at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in April; handicapper might have her pegged now, so this new trip will need to unlock more; still not ruled out. |

6th 6 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Career-best form on her first three starts (1m4f, 1m5f and 1m3f handicaps) this season, two of them on good to firm, before she found a Listed race far too tough on latest outing; thereabouts if she bounces straight back. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Smart 3yo who was eighth in last year's Derby; began this campaign with pretty good fourth in Newmarket handicap (1m4f, good to firm) in May, but seems badly to have lost his way since (three runs); revival needed. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Contested three Group races last summer; it's been 1m4f handicaps (good to firm) this season, registering his highest rating when fourth of eight at Newmarket in May but two disappointing shows at Ascot have followed; blinkered latest; stays at least 1m5f (unraced over this far) and he's 6lb lower than at Newmarket, but some caution is advised at present. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Contested three Group races last summer; 1m4f handicaps (good to firm) this season, registering his highest rating when fourth of eight at Newmarket in May but backpedalling from over 3f out when just 9-1 at Royal Ascot; needs to bounce back in first-time headgear but his sights are lowered. |
