1st 7 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins on turf have been achieved on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in two comeback outings in recent months but eased 3lb and capable of bouncing back to form to a form with a bang. |
9/2 |

4th 10 (11) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All three wins on turf have been on the Newmarket July course (7f/1m) but he has been placed in two of his three starts over this C&D, including on soft; never featured on his reappearance 25 days ago and needs to build on that. |
16/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent last term but won on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) last June and he kept on well for third over 7f here (good) in September; possible player if at the top of his game on this reappearance. |

2nd 1 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
On a three-year losing run and nothing like the force of old but his current mark reflects that and this is a good bit easier than the two handicaps he tackled in the spring; no surprise were this class dropper to go well with his yard among the winners. |
8/1 |
|
12th 29 (24) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two-time Group winner over 7f but is on a near three-year losing spell and current mark reflects that he's not the force of old (admittedly showed bits of useful form in 2025); needs to step up on reappearance effort; failed to shine in the last two runnings of this contest. |
33/1 |

8th 4 (12) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner who could only beat one home in this race when it was staged as a Class 2 last year; managed a handful of creditable efforts subsequently but it's hard to ignore his last win came back in June 2023 (7f Group 3); returns on reduced mark. |

3rd 5 (3) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Didn't build on a promising start on AW last spring, including well held in 1m Haydock handicap (good to soft) on sole turf start; has been gelded and had a second wind operation ahead of this return from eight months off; it's still early days but his profile isn't compelling. |
7/1 |

8th 6 (9) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Prescott colt whose 7f AW novice form features a win (debut) and good fourth; paid for kicking clear too soon last time; had wind surgery since; bred to stay this new trip and remains open to further progress. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won on debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in March and fourth under a penalty in blanket finish there (7f) in April; that latest race looked a hotter contest than this and he's a leading contender. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 1lb higher; also good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap in May and better than eighth of 11 might suggest at Beverley ten days later, fading late after racing too keenly; Mason Paetel has won on him before; runner-up once from two outings over C&D and enters calculations. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell and comes here on the back of a good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap; this three-time C&D scorer must enter calculations. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces (added to tongue-tie) when edging ahead late on over C&D (good) four weeks ago; not the most convincing (carries head awkwardly under pressure) but he's only been nudged up 2lb. |
9/4 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Expensive to follow since picked up from Charles Hills (turned over three times as favourite this year) and is tried in first-time cheekpieces (wore a hood at Yarmouth in the spring); a good test over a stiff 7f is fine but he doesn't always convince. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win to his name after 14 starts but he has performed with credit in four runs for his new stable, including second-place finishes at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Doncaster (7f good to soft); hood experiment quickly aborted; should go well again. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Threatened on AW and turf in the spring but his last two efforts have been below par (C&D latterly); feasibly handicapped but others are more persuasive. |
6/1 |
|
6th 11 (11) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Not at his best two weeks ago but he had been threatening on both AW and turf beforehand; on a dangerous mark and he can't be discounted. |
9/1 |
|
10th 10 (14) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
On a long losing sequence but twice went close on AW earlier this year and he was denied a clear run when 2l fourth of 11 at Newmarket (7f, good) last month; seems versatile ground-wise; might not be far away. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who won two 7f turf handicaps last summer; also close second off 1lb higher at Lingfield (7f) in December but his form dipped in two subsequent starts last winter; off for 169 days so his peak fitness has to be taken on trust. |
11/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Prominent racer who won two 7f turf handicaps last summer; close second at Lingfield (7f) on his penultimate start but his form dipped when fifth of six behind Legal Reform on Boxing Day; a personal best will be required to take this. |
10/1 |
|
8 (7) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Front-running wins at Ascot and Chepstow this summer (both 7f, good to firm and good to soft); weak in the market and dropped away tamely at Newcastle five weeks ago; return to 7f and the redeployment of blinkers should give him a lift; considered. |
