18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his handicaps on AW, winning three at 7f and 1m, but the return to turf is working quite well of late, gaining a first win on the surface at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) in June then checked in quite a promising run at Sandown (1m, good to firm) since; can be competitive off the same mark. |

Three-time AW scorer at Kempton; opened his turf account in apprentice event under Oliver Carmichael at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) most recently; may remain competitive, back up just 2lb. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Had some good 2yo form, as when winning both starts at about 7f, and this campaign has a somewhat luckless look to it so far, albeit slow starts aren't helping; his one start over 1m, in a valuable Carlisle handicap in May, was inconclusive regarding stamina but he remains of interest. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
First start beyond 6f when winning Ffos Las maiden (7.3f, heavy) last September and followed up in last-gasp fashion in valuable EBF Final at York (7f, good) in October; never involved in two competitive handicaps this season but he met trouble on the first occasion and a slow start didn't help last time; will need to break better if he's to take advantage of his inside stall. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won Ffos Las maiden (7.3f, heavy) last September on seventh start, when going beyond 6f for first time, and he followed up in last-gasp fashion in valuable EBF Final at York (7f, good); denied a clear run when mid-division in handicap at Newbury (7f, good; 12-1) on reappearance and the step up to nearly 1m looks a very good move; one to note. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Impressive winner of two of his three AW handicaps as 2yo, at 7f and 1m, and his reappearance fifth of nine on the Rowley course (1m, good to firm) in May hinted at better to come; never reached a challenging position over C&D in June but has less to do this time; has to be considered. |
13/2 |

11th 14 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Built upon previous promise (including on turf) to win two nurseries in a row at the end of last year (7f/1m, AW); respectable fifth on last month's reappearance on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) and could show the benefit of that outing today; possible player. |
12/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Got off the mark at the eighth attempt in Chelmsford nursery (7f, AW) last November on his second AW start, and he again had plenty in hand when following up at Kempton (1m, AW); needs to transfer that improvement back to turf but he did show promise on grass last season; not ruled out. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins at 1m2f in 2024 but he has run well over this C&D and, after a slow start to the year, he showed more when a close third of eight at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last week; on the premises again. |

3rd 5 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Placed in three of his four starts here, including when third in this race last year; after a poor start to this term he showed more three weeks ago and has dropped 4lb since; not ruled out despite the losing run racking up. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Second in this two years ago and often ran well last season; on a competitive mark on his best form but beaten on his last 20 starts and he's struggled on both outings this term. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
A stout stayer over 1m and Salisbury's stiff test suited him in May (good) where he overcame trouble in running to lead near the line; has had excuses since but he has a good run in him if this is truly run. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (2) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Record of 4-9 in 1m events on turf, most recently scoring at Salisbury on penultimate start; well held in competitive 1m2f event latest; drop back to ideal trip is the angle with him. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Turf wins at 7f and latest success was over 6f on AW in April; has rarely tackled 1m and she was highly tried over this trip in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot in June but she did look to stay an extended 1m at Nottingham in 2025 for previous yard; has possibilities. |
10/1 |

18th 24 (4) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All three wins over shorter, the latest over 6f at Kempton (AW) in April; unable to reproduce that form in three 7f turf outings since; stays 1m but it's hard to be positive about her chance from 3lb out of the weights. |
100/1 |

6th 3 (11) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two-time turf winner over 6f-7f; career best came with an AW win at Kempton in April; well beaten in two 7f turf starts since; drops 1lb; more needed. |
