3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Unplaced in four runs on the Rowley Mile but he's 3-5 on the other Newmarket course, the scene of his two wins in August (1m4f, good to firm; 1m6f, good); however, those were Class 3s and he was behind Ernst Blofeld at this level at Doncaster. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Looked back in prime form at Newmarket on his last two outings when coming from the rear to win over 1m4f and 1m6f; the latter was by a short head but against a respected opponent and perhaps good to soft ground was not ideal when he took sixth at 40-1 in this race last year. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race comfortably in first-time blinkers a year ago and looked back in prime form when keeping on well to beat Sixpack here (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; only 2lb higher today; has another big role to play. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won a handicap here (1m6f, good to firm) in May and placed in handicaps on the other Newmarket course on his two runs this summer (1m6f, good to firm/good); further improvement is needed if he's to win in today's higher grade but this progressive 6yo holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed big prize over this trip on Rowley Mile (good to firm) on 1,000 Guineas day in May and was close third in another heritage handicap over C&D (good to firm) when reappearing last month; nudged up only 2lb for that and in much calmer waters today; good chance. |
9/4 |

3rd 6 (6) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Second run after wind surgery saw him better than ever back on turf for a clearcut win in 12-runner race on the other Newmarket track (1m6f, good to firm) when last seen nearly ten weeks ago; 7lb rise demands better still but he's a regular Flat winner who needs respect. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Didn't jump well when a disappointing favourite at Fakenham (2m, good) last October on sole previous hurdle start; however, he's shown useful form when winning three times on the Flat this year and will be a serious force if able to transfer that ability to this code; trainer won this last year. |
15/8 |

3rd 2 (4) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins this season (1m4f-1m6f); bounced back from poor AW run when close second to Arqoob here (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago and might still have a bigger performance in him over this longer trip; respected. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well over 1m4f-1m6f on turf this term, winning three times from six starts; latest win came easily at this track (1m6f, good to firm) in June and he's 7lb higher today; tailing off so badly at Southwell four weeks ago may be offputting but he came last in 2025 in his only other AW race, so perhaps can spring back to life with today's return to turf. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Sole 3yo in this field; has shown fairly useful form over middle distances, winning twice; creditable second at York (1m2f) most recently; interesting off bottom weight, assuming he's as effective at 1m5f. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 16 (9) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
First run at 1m6f when fourth of five runners last time at Newmarket; has looked vulnerable since winning off 5lb lower here in May. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Still 6lb higher than for emphatic win at York (extended 1m2f, good) in May but ran well when fifth of 13 at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to firm); not out of this if suited by the new trip (first run beyond 1m4f). |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Outstayed over 1m6f last time; consistent on turf/AW otherwise and although 0-9 in this sphere he has frame possibilities back down in distance; respectable third in similar event at Epsom (1m4f) on Derby day. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
In the frame all six starts this season, and might have bumped into a smart one when second off today's mark at Kempton (1m4f, AW) ten days ago; also suited by turf and won't be far away if stamina holds out over new trip. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Consistent sort who has yet to be out of the first four in 17 starts; his two wins including one here over 1m3f last August and he was beaten only 2l over C&D last month; should continue to give his running. |
6/1 |
