19th 5 (24) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft) last October and reappeared with a good second at Goodwood (1m6f, good) in May, both from the front; soft ground was likely to blame at Epsom on Derby Day but recent return to action was pretty spectacular when a change in tactics saw him come from last to first in a well-contested 13-runner race at Southwell (1m3f, AW); has a 4lb penalty after that narrow win but this lightly raced 4yo now promises better still and a good 5lb claimer is enlisted; player if the ground isn't too soft. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Looked a progressive sort last year (3-5) and ran well to finish runner-up on his Goodwood reappearance (1m6f, good) in May; soft ground the likely reason for his dismal effort at Epsom (1m4f) on Derby Day and better expected if taking to the AW. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Unraced as a juvenile but now boasts 3-6 record, winning his first two and back on the scoresheet when making all at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft) in October; bumped into a quite well-regarded sort when second at Goodwood (1m6f, good) a fortnight ago and this unexposed 4yo looks a big contender to build on that encouraging return. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
No shortage of success beforehand but cheekpieces seem to have worked very well on last three starts when winning at York (1m2f, good) and running on well to be placed at Southwell (1m4f, AW) and York (1m4f, good to soft); came from an unpromising position on those last two outings (from last of 16 last time, which asked a lot) and he'll be a major threat to all if he stays on this first attempt at this sort of trip; stamina is the question. |
4/1 |

3rd 9 (14) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft but unraced on soft since 2024 (trained was positive about it last September); no shortage of success beforehand but cheekpieces seem to have worked very well on last two starts when winning at York (1m2f, good) and running on well again for second at Southwell (1m4f, AW); raised another 3lb but came from an unpromising position last time and still has more to give. |

Five wins since July last year including one over 1m4f here; cheekpieces seemed to work well at York (1m2f, good) last time and a player in his hat-trick bid despite a 6lb rise. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Merely mid-division in a handicap at Hamilton (1m4f, good to soft) four weeks ago and he has something to find in this field even on his best form; however, he looked like he was one to follow when winning a C&D handicap (good to soft) 12 months ago and perhaps the first-time blinkers will unlock some improvement; he's not discounted. |
16/1 |

8th 1 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time turf winner at up to 1m2f (good/good to soft), latest at Ayr last September; best of three runs this season when third at Southwell last time (1m3f); quite interesting on first try at 1m4f. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Has won four races and still looks to be improving; ran better than it looked when fifth of 13 in the Rosebery on his reappearance at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in March and looked in need of a return to further when fourth of 11 at Chester (1m2f, good) in May; off three months, but has won fresh; high on list. |

16th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Has won at this track on soft; upped markedly to 1m3f at Southwell (AW) last month and led 2f out until three rivals went past in the final 1f; that was a good run, followed admittedly by a lesser show at York but that was over 1m4f; could be a player back here at 1m1f. |
20/1 |
|
8th 16 (6) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Acts on soft; unproven beyond 1m and unraced beyond 1m1f until he tried 1m3f at Southwell (AW) 15 days ago and led 2f out until three rivals went past in the final 1f; that was a good run and his dam won at this trip but others clearly have less to prove in this hot 1m4f race. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |

Just 2lb higher than when winning over 7f here in April, but is unraced beyond 1m1f and this looks a tough race in which to prove his stamina. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has been smart in his time; his efforts since returning from an absence suggest he's not the force of old but he's edged down to a mark he can be competitive from; first-time cheekpieces are reached for by last year's winning stable. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Has been smart in his time and is now 10lb lower than when winning the 2023 Cambridgeshire; returned after a long absence in May, but he's been working his way back to form and was only beaten around 2l when fifth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last time; looks worth another try at this trip and he's in the mix back on turf. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |

Has been smart in his time and is now 10lb lower than when winning the 2023 Cambridgeshire; record on the AW as a 3yo read 121, but a leap of faith is required based on his two efforts since returning from a long absence (and wind surgery). |

Useful 5yo who bounced back to best and went down by only a whisker, despite pulling hard, at the York Ebor festival (1m4f) most recently; that form is strong; major player, especially if settling better. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (11) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Made a winning stable debut from off the pace at Meydan (1m4f, good; acts on soft) in January but has finished no better than mid-division in his four starts since; has edged back to that last winning mark, which he also had when a close third in this race last year. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Best efforts on AW, including second at Newcastle (1m2f) late last month; never dangerous when 16-1 at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) nine days later, but today's race is much less competitive than his other two turf handicaps this term. |

Dual turf winner who last scored when bagging a 1m2f AW handicap just under a year ago; now 5lb lower but that's still the same mark he was beaten just over 4l at Beverley 10 days ago; likely needs to find a bit extra. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Cheekpieces last three starts and gelded before scoring at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last December, which was his second front-running win last term and much improved form; not seen again until five weeks ago when he was favourite in a warm race at Southwell (1m3f, AW) and bang there 2f out but finished 9th of 12; it's possible he needed that run but this is just his second race on turf, having tailed off on soft on debut. |
7/1 |

9th 9 (13) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |

2-5 last year, his latest success coming on his first start since being gelded, at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) in December (form has worked out well); 6lb higher on this return, but still respected especially if market positive. |
9/2 |
|
7 (2) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His only turf race was debut last July when tailed off on soft ground; handicap debut last October was a blip but he did well in his other three AW races, gelded before comfortably making all with second-time cheekpieces in a ten-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m2f) in December when last seen; up 6lb but could easily have more to give. |

Recorded narrow wins on his final start of last year at York (1m2f, good) and on his Chester reappearance (1m2f, good) in May, but held in last two starts including when behind King's Code back at Chester; half-brother to an AW winner, but he needs to bounce back. |

Seventh attempt when off the mark from the front in a novice at Kempton (7f, AW) in September and he followed up returned to handicaps when scoring at Nottingham (8.5f, good to soft) five weeks later; pedigree suggests this new trip will suit and he's respected on reappearance. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |

Seventh attempt when off the mark from the front in a novice at Kempton (7f, AW) five weeks ago, earning very few extra plaudits though as he was 2-9 in a two-runner race and it was workmanlike; worth this second crack at 1m but other runners are more convincing. |

Useful on the Flat in France in his younger days; unexposed as a hurdler, winning a 2m novice here for Robert Eddery in July 2024; subsequently off for 741 days and didn't recapture his form in two runs for John Butler; yard debut. |

Won Listed Flat race in France in 2023 and launched hurdling career with two promising Uttoxeter runs (both 2m, good) for Robert Eddery in summer 2024, the latter a comfortable win; well-beaten 50-1 shot on the Flat this month, after a long absence, but Sean Bowen is booked here; interesting. |
