3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Inconsistent maiden who has missed the start and/or pulled hard; no problem with 9.5f on Tapeta last time, when turning in his best effort since handicapping (made most), but history suggests he's no good thing to build on it. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Struggled since handicapping this year and he blew the start at Wetherby last month before pulling too hard on Tapeta a fortnight ago; goes beyond 1m for the first time and will need to settle better upped from 7f. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Her fifth of 12 over C&D in June was a fair effort and she bettered that when going close at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) a fortnight ago; gets a 2lb nudge for that but she's in the picture. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Six-race maiden; made quite promising seasonal debut when fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, AW) in June but her return to turf last month was underwhelming; others have more pressing claims. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-15 but he wasn't discredited when a staying-on third of six in 5f Musselburgh handicap 17 days ago; has his stamina to prove over this markedly longer trip, though. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
14-race maiden; second in a C&D novice in 2025, but has raced mainly over further since; beaten over 7l back over 5f at Newmarket last time; bit to prove. |

5th 7 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Won two AW handicaps for George Scott in March; fair efforts in the last two of his three runs for current yard but his latest second was in a three-runner race at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm); this drop back in trip could suit but he needs to find more to make the breakthrough on turf. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two AW handicaps for George Scott in March; ran well on the second of two outings for current stable when third of ten at Newmarket (1m, good) last month; this looks easier and he should go close, at the least. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Eight-race maiden who has finished third in Yarmouth handicaps (1m/1m2f, good to firm) in his last two runs but those were five-runner events and he was beaten 5l last time; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-race maiden; has mixed record but gave good account when third of five in higher-grade race here (1m, good to firm; first-time hood) last month; could have a say if stamina holds out over this new trip. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Lightly raced; gelded and in a first-time visor when a front-running third at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm); had no excuses in that 4.25l defeat but it's something to build on. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Out of the frame in four starts, failing to run up to market expectations on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) seven weeks ago; gelded since and a visor is now given a go; interesting to see if his backers return. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Raced on turf only once since June 2025's Yarmouth handicap debut win (6f), going close over just shy of today's trip twice in the winter; no threat on either previous return from a triple-figure number of days out. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (1) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Creditable second in three of her four runs since upped to 1m; beaten only a neck at Chelmsford latest; threatening to record a second win. |
7/2 |
Betting Forcast
8/1 Symphony Of Joy, 2/1 Piazza, 3/1 Ecclefechan, 16/1 Captain Corelli, 13/2 Crimson Rambler, 14/1 Big Alex Walmsley, 13/2 Meritocratic, 8/1 Amarachi
Verdict
John Ryan’s ECCLEFECHAN needed every yard of this new trip to win at Windsor and he could well have more to offer. Piazza is a clear threat, while Meritocratic has to be of interest on his debut for James Owen.[Alistair Jones]
