19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Well supported and produced a strong finishing effort to win a Goodwood handicap (6f, soft) three weeks ago; earlier defeats in major handicaps at Ascot, Goodwood and York suggest today's 7lb higher mark will find him out but it was a taking performance last time. |

8st 13lb |
Won a C&D nursery at this meeting last season before landing the Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar (6f, good to soft); solid efforts in defeat on his last two starts, behind Flash Harry at Goodwood latest; each-way shout. |

Five wins in a busy 2yo campaign, notably the Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar (6f, good to soft) in October; retains ability but others bring stronger claims. |

Took very well to AW but always-prominent third of ten at Goodwood (6f, soft) two weeks ago was his best turf form; needs to build on that. |

3rd 5 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Has reached a useful level on AW; absent since respectable effort in competitive field at Newbury in April; one to bear in mind, especially if the market speaks favourably. |

17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Unexposed at 6f; this mark is in range judged on his two placed efforts this winter; failed to fire on Good Friday but he received a kick before the start which won't have helped; no surprise to see him bounce back. |

9st 6lb |
Can lead; three turf wins include a 6f Listed on soft as a 2yo but two subsequent successes have come on the AW; likely to need more than a recent Goodwood fourth (6f, soft) when helped by his track position. |

Can be hard to predict but he's a five-time winner after his narrow C&D success here recently (led late on); every chance at these weights with something similar. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Dual winner on the AW last season (5f/6f); not scored so far this term, but was runner-up at Salisbury in June (6f, good to firm) and Windsor in July (6f, good to firm); handles soft ground and well drawn but drop in trip may not be ideal on this sharp track. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Came up well short in series final (Class 2) at Windsor last time; knocking at the door otherwise this season but may ideally need a drop back in grade. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins on AW; 0-9 on grass but cheekpieces seem to have bucked him up of late and he was very close to breaking his turf duck at Salisbury before making late inroads into Another Abbot's lead over this C&D last time; weighted to be thereabouts with that one and can't be ruled out. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Ex-French; took time to acclimatise and was down the field in the Gold Cup last autumn but of more interest now, having been quite impressive at Goodwood (6f, soft) in June and seriously hampered at the Curragh (6f, yielding) last week on second run back from a break; Oisin Murphy up for the first time; likely to be suited by this thorough test and has a solid chance. |

Ten career wins include 2023 Scurry Handicap here and has added lesser events this year at Leicester and Hamilton, also Epsom fourth to Sondad on soft; not as same level at Goodwood latest but not one to dismiss. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |

8yo who can be in and out but he won at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in April and has run well in defeat on his last two starts, at Epsom (6f, soft) and Newcastle (6f, AW); he was a close second of 14 last time and this C&D winner can be in the mix if he's once more on a going day. |

9st 6lb |
Sole win in 5f AW novice as 2yo; involved in two tight finishes at 5f (AW and good to firm) in July but the suitability of 6f on soft ground needs to be proved following a fading eighth of ten at Goodwood recently; usually visored, first-time blinkers today; yard won this last year. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

In form over 5f last month, not disgraced when favourite for competitive event at Glorious Goodwood most recently; a possible danger provided he's as effective back at 6f. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Novice winner who is threatening to win his first handicap having been denied narrowly this month by Naana's Sparkle and Twilight Calls; a late bump didn't help his cause last time at Newmarket and the visor (on for last three races) is working well; possibilities. |

9st 10lb |
Below form on last two outings and remains without a win since 2023 but started off for new stable with three good runs in April-June (5f-6f) and lurks on a dangerous mark; can't be ruled out. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
No win since 2023 but he has raced mainly over 5f for new yard and may show the benefit of this return to 6f; attractively treated on plenty of form and can't be dismissed. |

8th 2 (10) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |

He hasn't won since a Listed success at York (6f, soft) in October 2023, but he's started for Robert Cowell with a trio of creditable efforts in competitive handicaps; could click for this yard at some point. |
