12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 3-9; in first-time blinkers when a clearcut winner at Thirsk (1m4f handicap, good) last month; however, he was twice the price of Plage De Havre at York and after racing prominently he was out of sight when it mattered; he's better than that showing would indicate but still looks up against it. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
First two wins were on heavy/AW; there have been a couple of disappointments in his eight-race career but he followed two AW seconds by winning a six-runner race at Thirsk (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; up 5lb in this much more competitive race but he won in clearcut style in first-time blinkers. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won last September on his first two starts for this yard (heavy/AW); disappointing favourite at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on his reappearance but he's been runner-up at Kempton in both starts since; switches back to turf with blinkers now tried; contender. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
0-10 since winning his first two starts in 2023 but has finished runner-up over 1m3f/1m4f this summer; well-held fifth in Old Borough Cup at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) latest but this is a bit easier. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
5yo who is 0-9 since winning his first two starts in 2023; however, he's finished runner-up over 1m3f/1m4f on two of his last three outings, keeping on well each time, and he might improve for the step up to 1m6f; has shown promise on slow ground; interesting each-way at forecast big odds. |

2nd 6 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Won his first two starts when trained by Karl Burke; encouraging stable debut at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) in June and was best of the rest behind a handicap blot at Carlisle next time; however, he needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at York (1m4f, good to firm) last month. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won the 2022 Cambridgeshire but his only win since came in Bahrain (1m2f, good) last January; some creditable efforts on turf this summer; this is just his second AW start but he was runner-up at Wolverhampton on the previous one in November 2024; could be in the shake-up but the suspicion the wait for another British win will go on. |

3rd 2 (5) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won the 2022 Cambridgeshire but his only win since came in Bahrain (1m2f, good) last January; came from further back than the winner when runner-up at Windsor (around 1m4f) in June but he failed to beat a rival home over 1m6f at Newmarket last month; drop back in trip should suit. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won the 1m1f Cambridgeshire at Newmarket in September 2022 but his solitary win since was in Bahrain (1m2f) in January 2025; went close over 1m4f last August and runner-up over 11.4f at Windsor 13 days ago, but this trip (well beaten trying 1m5f once last year) is doubtful territory. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Became disappointing for Joseph O'Brien last year; some promise for this yard off his reduced mark but was never dangerous last week at Beverley behind one who made all (1m2f, heavy). |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Became disappointing for Joseph O'Brien last year; there's been some promise for current yard and off a reduced mark, and with Jake Dickson taking off another 5lb, he's not dismissed; one of his best RPRs came on good to soft. |

4th 3 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
AW winner when trained in France but he was mostly disappointing for Joseph O'Brien last year; best effort for this stable came when a 2l sixth of 14 at York (1m, good) in June but he didn't fully prove his stamina for this far when an 11l third there 13 days ago; cheekpieces, worn once previously, are back on. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Built on his handicap debut with a 7l success at Epsom (1m4f, good) in July 2025; well held in just two outings since, although the fact he went off at 2-1 for his Thirsk reappearance four weeks ago suggests a lot better was anticipated by his leading stable; it'll be interesting to see if his supporters' are prepared to give him a second chance. |

Built on his handicap debut with a 7l success at Epsom (1m4f, good) last July; raised 11lb for that success and was well held having raced keenly at Goodwood (1m4f) next time; has been off for 373 days and has the hood applied for his return; watch the market. |

Flopped badly on final start for Sir Michael Stoute, taking record to 0-5; sold for 1,000gns since; now goes in new headgear; market may prove best guide. |

led at steady pace, raced awkwardly after 1f, went clear after 3f, switched to near side over 3f out, headed and lost second 2f out, weakened from over 1f out |
