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. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Ran creditably last summer in the Derby and two 1m5f Group 3s, while coming up well short; absent 259 days before his fourth of eight on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm; Hopewell Rock third) seven weeks ago, which was actually his best form and the first two also dominated a 1m6f handicap here on Tuesday, but he needs to build on that. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
100-1 for the Derby at Epsom but showed improvement in making late headway from the back to finish eighth of 18 runners; similar form later last summer in Group 3s at Newmarket and Newbury; gelded in March and some improvement is needed but he is lightly raced and may be capable of it. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Fourth at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on seasonal/stable debut gave encouragement again, followed by a decisive win at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in May; 14-1 but it looked as if 1m6f stretched him when seventh of 16 at Royal Ascot (good to firm; every chance 2f out) and he probably remained in form; needs a close look back at 1m4f. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
His form eventually ran cold for the Gosdens last season but he's back on the up for his new yard, following his pleasing comeback at Newmarket with a decisive win at Kempton where he swept by late on (1m4f, AW); has low enough mileage to believe he'll cope fine with a 7lb rise and, despite not being Wathnan's first string on jockey arrangements, he's one to consider. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Novice win came here; signed off for the Gosdens with two poor runs but his reappearance run at Newmarket 12 days ago, following a gelding operation, was promising and strongly suggested that the new trip of 1m4f is what he wants; Billy Loughnane, who is 1-2 for the yard, takes over. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
3yo maiden winner; running on well into a close third of 12 at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) this May was his first significant impact in handicaps and perhaps the ground was too soft at Epsom (1m2f) on Oaks day five weeks ago; this new trip gives him a bit more to prove, though. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Unraced on softer than good; failed to make a significant impact in his first four handicaps but did so at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) on latest outing, running on well into a close third of 12 off today's mark; return to 1m2f could help and he needs a second look. |

3rd 10 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Windsor maiden winner for the Gosdens last April, followed by a 1m3f Listed third and big-money sale; only mid-division in his four handicaps since, 20-1 off this mark behind Mr Winston here (1m) on reappearance; back up by a furlong but others have more pressing claims. |

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. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has developed into quite a useful handicapper and her record this season is solid, winning on reappearance then making the frame twice, most recently in Class 2 at Carlisle; this is harder, however. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Likeable front-running filly; made a winning return at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) and typically gave her all when second at Hamilton (1m5f, good) three weeks later; edging up the weights but set for another bold show. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
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. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time winner whose sole success on turf came over C&D (good to firm) just under one year ago; also scored off this mark on AW (1m6f) in September but has been very in and out on last four starts, including when tried in a hood (removed) and beaten 32l in valuable AW event last time; drops back down in grade from lower turf mark and can make presence felt if on a going day. |
