5th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
An improver this season, with his only blip coming on heavy ground in the Italian Derby; got messed about when fourth of six in a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket in July and resumed his progress when readily coming clear in Shergar Cup event over C&D four weeks ago; 7lb higher mark to contend with but he looked worth it last time; considered. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner who won at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) and Thirsk (1m4f, good) earlier in the year and returned to winning ways at Windsor (11.4f, good to soft) last week; did it by 6l and 6lb penalty may not stop him. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |

6lb higher than for Thirsk win in June (1m4f, good) but two notable efforts since, last time runner-up to the progressive Archers Bay in a Shergar Cup race at Ascot (good to firm); very solid claims back in a Class 4. |

2nd 7 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
This year's wins at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) and Thirsk (1m4f, good) were from the front; last two defeats suggest his progress may have levelled out, for all that he was tried over 1m6f both times; probably needs his best yet. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
2yo maiden winner (good to soft) who has run some good races in defeat in 1m4f handicaps this year, including here (good) in May and when third at Ascot (good to firm) recently in a first-time visor (retained); it's possible 1m6f will suit but others in this line-up appear to be more progressive. |
40/1 |

3rd 3 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Competitive in both his handicaps (1m4f) for George Boughey and left that yard for £170,000; likely to win races for Ian Williams, but he was pulled up after never going at Goodwood only ten days ago (1m4f, good to firm; 25-1) and headgear is soon turned to. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Third of 14 on handicap debut at York (1m4f, good) in May and the form of his subsequent second of four at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) has worked out well; sold out of George Boughey's yard for £170,000 last month and he's in with an each-way shout on this first run for Ian Williams. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Caught too far back in a race dominated by prominent racers when her winning run was ended at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last month and that defeat almost certainly shouldn't be taken to suggest that the handicapper has caught up with a filly who holds a Group 1 entry next month; showed promise on her soft-ground debut last autumn; leading claims. |

4th 2 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Stable has captured two of the last four renewals, and this filly is on a roll after completing a hat-trick over C&D a month ago; that was by the skin of her teeth but the second was an improver and the pair were clear; she probably won that day in spite of the steady gallop; strong contender under Saffie Osborne. |
7/4 |

1st 7 (5) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
8st 2lb |
Off the mark on her return when landing a Redcar maiden (good to firm) in May and she made a winning handicap debut at Chester (also about 1m2f, good) one month later; pedigree suggests 1m4f will see this unexposed filly progress again. |

Winless this season but he comes here in good form, not enjoying a smooth passage with fourth of six in 1m3f seller at Goodwood last month; very much one to consider from his low berth. |

8st 11lb |
Runner-up on handicap debut at Down Royal (1m5f, soft) in June and filled the same position in a maiden at the Curragh (1m4f, good to firm) in July; however, made it 0-9 when down the field at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago and others have more pressing claims; a first-time tongue-tie replaces the cheekpieces adopted last time. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Irish stable won this two years ago; placed in both his handicaps, the latest when headed late on in the Ulster Derby at Down Royal (1m5f, soft); suffered another narrow defeat when the standard-setter in a 1m4f maiden at the Curragh (good to firm); hard to call him progressive, but trainer always respected on her forays here and cheekpieces are a first. |

2nd 4 (1) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |

Sets the standard on 83 after seven runs; one of his best efforts came in a Down Royal handicap last time (1m5f, soft) when headed late on into second; a repeat of that could see him go close. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Made all when winning in first-time cheekpieces for Andrew Balding at Chepstow two months ago (subsequently picked up for 20,000gns); much his best effort to date on AW debut last time (Polytrack) but has paid for that with a 7lb rise; needs more again. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Scored for Andrew Balding at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) and subsequently sold for 20,000gns; has run well at Sandown and Ascot for new stable and should go well on AW debut. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Bought for 20,000gns out of Andrew Balding's yard after winning off 5lb lower at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces); ran okay at Sandown but no more than that in a small field over 1m6f; his new rider will have to navigate from the widest stall. |
