5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Capitalised on a good mark at Newbury (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; up 4lb but still feasibly weighted and this Royal Ascot winner should make another bold bid. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won his maiden over C&D this time last year; progressed in turf handicaps this season, without winning one, latterly when a solid third in a big field at Doncaster, and his claims are obvious off the same mark. |

3rd 12 (4) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
3yo who's had six races; gelded before his 5f seconds at Sandown (good; to Wheels Of Fire) and Newbury (good to firm; 3lb higher today) on last two outings; beaten a neck in the latter, when hanging left and bumping a rival did himself no favours; withdrawn twice since when the ground was good to soft; brings major interest if this ground is suitable. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 6f winner in 2025; took a step back in the right direction when third of 12 to the reopposing Rhythm N Hooves at Newbury (5f, good to firm) six weeks ago; his ability to handle going softer than good has to be taken on trust but his stable is in really good form. |
6/1 |

3rd 7 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 6f winner in 2025; regressive in 2026, tenth of 13 at Windsor last time on first run after wind surgery; very best form is over further but he has fallen below his last winning mark and Seamus Cronin's claim is a plus. |
16/1 |

Two-time 6f scorer in 2025; failed to build on an encouraging reappearance Newbury fourth when eighth of ten at Ascot (6f) in May; has since undergone wind surgery, so can't be ruled out off a handy-looking mark. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won three times over 5f last season and the form of her first two runs this year (one over C&D) is strong; her levels have dropped since and she was behind Hypnotised when fourth at Newbury (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but she'll be a threat to all off this mark if back on song. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |

Gained three 5f wins in the second half of 2025, but disappointing this year after a promising reappearance; needs to get back on track but drops back in grade after facing a stiff task in York Grade 3 last time. |
3/1 |

Progressive sprinter in 2025; promising reappearance second in Yarmouth handicap (5f, good to soft) but hasn't built on it twice since, finishing well held tackling Listed company for the first time at Ayr three weeks ago; her claims aren't obvious. |

Fine on the AW but has done most winning on turf and remains weighted to his best after a couple of victories in early summer, latterly off 1lb lower; others make greater appeal. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |

Likeable 8yo mare with a consistent record and ten wins to her name; as good as ever when third of 23 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last month, keeping on gamely; should go well again off 1lb higher. |

9st 10lb |
Both 2026 wins were 5f (soft/good) and decisively on top from Hypnotised at Sandown in July for latest; below form behind that rival at Newbury (good to firm) latest start but has bounced back before; one to consider. |
12/1 |

7th 3 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Both 2026 wins were 5f and he was decisively on top at Sandown (good ground) 17 days ago; that was a personal best and he's in the mix, although significantly worse off at the weights with Sandown runner-up Hypnotised. |
8/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Showed career-best form when winning readily at Musselburgh (5f, soft) in April and is also effective on fast ground but his subsequent efforts this spring were underwhelming; non-runner at Goodwood yesterday. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 7f novice as a 2yo and he ran over 1m on his reappearance, but his two runs since have been over this distance; went off favourite but met trouble on both occasions, and he has since been gelded; hard to pin down but he's relatively lightly raced and probably has more to offer. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won a 7f novice as a 2yo and he was tried over 1m on his seasonal/handicap debut in April; dropped to 5f at Sandown nine days ago (tongue tied first time; well backed) and travelled well but met some trouble at a crucial stage; that race set up for the closers and this is a sharper test but he could well have more to offer as a sprinter; cheekpieces now added. |
2/1 |

2nd 4 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 7f Newmarket maiden (good) in October but finished down the field having led in French heavy-ground Listed race next time; weakened when attempting 1m on his comeback in April but this first start at 5f since his 2yo debut is still something of a surprise; fascinating to see what he makes of it in an additional tongue-tie with Oisin Murphy steering. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Best effort when getting off the mark on turf at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start next time and then seemed to find things happening too quickly over Goodwood's sharp 5f; today's stiffer track should be in his favour, and we may not have seen the best of him yet. |
8/1 |

7th 9 (17) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
All races at about 6f, looking likely to find his feet at an even better level when beating a fair type at Windsor (good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start at Newmarket since and remains one to be interested in; however, this very quick 5f may be an eye-opener for him. |
25/1 |
|
11th 12 (14) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Well-connected gelding; justified short odds in 6f AW maiden as 2yo; made a fairly ordinary reappearance but he was much better for it when winning at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in early June, coming through to beat a useful type at this level; up 4lb but can achieve more. |

Tended to be all or nothing on turf this season but boasts a consistent record over C&D (two wins, two seconds and two thirds from eight runs); doesn't arrive in much form but the switch from grass looks in his favour. |

8st 12lb |
Won at Goodwood (5f, good) in the spring and has remained in form, second of seven at Lingfield last time; no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts again but he's fully exposed after 52 starts. |

Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out. |
