8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to make the frame on first four starts this season but revived with a 7l win in four-runner race at Salisbury (1m, good to firm); what that form is worth is open to question and he's back up 7lb, but at least the third has won since. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Usually held up in rear; hasn't won since his 2yo days but has slipped to an attractive mark and could pop up when the cards drop right, which admittedly isn't guaranteed in this small-field scenario; less exposed at 1m than over shorter. |
9/2 |

His ability is not in question but he needs everything to fall right and has often flattered to deceive; stepping back up to 1m is worth a go but others look safer. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |

Consistent form since being gelded, gaining a deserved success in five-runner race at Hamilton (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; just 2lb higher and should go well again. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Scored at Newcastle (1m) in December and has proved reliable without adding to his tally this season, a clear second of seven to Jannas Journey in 1m Carlisle handicap 12 days ago; not taken lightly despite a 2lb weights rise. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came when justifying short odds in 1m AW maiden in December but he's been running with credit in big-field turf handicaps this term, including when fifth of 20 at York (7f, good; Jannas Journey eighth, The Green Man behind) three weeks ago; likely to go well again. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Back to form when beaten a nose at Doncaster three weeks ago; 3lb lower than last winning mark and seems to retain all his ability, so a serious contender if staying the trip (all wins at 6f/7f). |
15/2 |
|
2nd 1 (9) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who hasn't won on turf since May 2024, when dead-heating at Thirsk (7f, good to firm); down the field in two decent handicaps this season but beaten less than 6l on each occasion and takes a significant drop in grade; has to be considered. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 3yo; faded after being pestered for the lead in German Group 2 in May, but he'd previously posted a personal best when second to the high-class Talk Of New York in conditions race at Newmarket (7f, good) on reappearance; bred to stay at least 1m; makes handicap debut and might have been let in lightly. |
4/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Progressive last summer and the form has substance; finished third to the subsequent Dewhurst winner then justifying favouritism twice, the final performance at Ffos Las (7.4f, good); probably has a better chance than bare ratings suggest. |

Knuckled down well to justify favouritism here on reappearance but hasn't made the expected further progress; seems to stay 1m but all three successes remain at 7f; concedes weight all round; others preferred. |
13/2 |
|
6th 4 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Not seen to best effect when mid-division in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) last time out but prior to that he kept on well to make a winning reappearance at Haydock (7f, good to firm) and this very lightly raced 4yo retains potential, especially back up to 1m. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Unplaced last five starts, not really finishing his races; carries obvious risks but his three turf wins came over 1m on good to firm ground and he now returns after a wind operation; he's well handicapped if the surgery has had a positive effect. |
16/1 |
|
8th 2 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Scored off current mark on reappearance (1m2f, AW; in February) but hasn't been in the same form since, latterly back on turf, disappointing favourite returned to 1m most recently. |
13/2 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Reeled off a fast-ground 1m hat-trick last spring; better than ever when landing a 1m2f handicap at Newcastle on his seasonal return in February; no further progress and he drops back to 1m on a recovery mission; today's drop in grade will suit. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Had slipped in the weights before winning at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in July, and he ran at least as well over 1m at York next time; should be thereabouts again. |
16/1 |
|
4th 5 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Had slipped in the weights before winning at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) on Sunday; not certain to be as effective back at 1m and he's ridden by an apprentice with a smaller claim. |
11/1 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Scored three times, including over C&D, in 2024; has built up a long losing sequence since but is an in-form contender, half-length second when favourite at Carlisle most recently; on an attractive mark and Jake Dickson takes off a bonus 7lb; possibilities. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |

Well treated on the pick of his form for Hugo Palmer last year but was 66-1 and showed little on reappearance/stable debut; only 2lb lower and probably best watched. |

|
17th 16 (17) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

None too consistent for Hugo Palmer last year but he is well treated on his best form; sold for 24,000gns last October; likely best watched back at 7f after 287 days off. |
50/1 |

10 (11) |
26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |

Prominent racer who won in good style here (1m, good) in April on his handicap and seasonal debut; has failed to progress but gelded since last time and the return to the Rowley Mile could give him a boost. |

All three wins at 7f including at Doncaster (good to firm) in June; has remained in form but he's drawn wide and may not be quite so effective over 1m. |
16/1 |

7th 16 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Denied a clear run when fifth at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) latest and he's a type who needs things to drop right; however, he got up on the line at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) two runs ago and may have an each-way shout. |
25/1 |

5th 6 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Has performed well in two runs at the July festival, notably a win (off just 1lb lower) in this race last year; narrowly justified favouritism at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) latest start, setting up him well for a return to this track; respected. |

Followed six duck eggs with a last-gasp win at Thirsk (1m, good) last Saturday under Seamus Cronin, capitalising on some leniency from the handicapper; nudged back up only 2lb; has possibilities if on another going day. |

27th 18 (8) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Record is only 1-10, the success in 2yo maiden; has bits of useful form, including at Group level, but his handicap record is rather unconvincing; chance of doubling his tally partly depends on the effects of two physical tweaks (had gelding/wind operations since last run). |

Both his wins have come on the AW but he wasn't disgraced when eighth of 17 on turf at York (7f, good; 22-1) four weeks ago; stepping back up to 1m should be a help; each-way possibilities. |

8th 12 (5) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Both his wins have come on AW but he handles turf, albeit best grass runs have come on good going; two disappointing efforts since his Southwell win in April and others are more convincing. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Has gained both wins on AW, including on reappearance; has bits of fairly useful form on turf but produced one of his lesser efforts last time, taking record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred. |
