27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Went very close at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last month then got off the mark at the 12th attempt in the Amateurs' Derby over C&D (good to soft), winning by 6l on his first visit to Epsom; needs to back up that effort but an 8lb rise may not stop him if he can repeat the form. |

1st 14 (6) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Yet to win after 11 attempts under both codes; arrives in form but this is a step up in class and others are preferred for win purposes. |

Quite lightly raced 5yo maiden; creditable third, one place behind Educator, at Windsor (11.5f) in sole Flat start this year; a possible danger provided that form is backed up. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
With Denis Gerard Hogan when justifying favouritism in a Tramore maiden (2m, good to yielding) in April; joined this trainer the following month for £26,000 and has been kept ticking over on the Flat (form figures 122); noteworthy he's pitched into a Class 2 for GB handicap hurdle debut; interesting. |
9/2 |

2nd 7 (1) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Signed off in Ireland with a maiden hurdle win; narrowly won over 1m4f at Kempton (AW) on yard debut before chasing home a clearcut winner over C&D; same mark here and could be vulnerable. |

3rd 13 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
He was having just his second handicap run when comfortably seeing off six rivals at Haydock (1m6f, good; for today's rider) 24 days ago; unlikely his revised mark will prove beyond him in time; shortlist material. |
13/2 |
|
1st 7 (1) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Lightly raced 6yo; good bumper performer (two places before 1m5f Fontwell win in March 2025); fair runs at up to 1m4f on the AW on the Flat so far, beaten 10l by Constitution Hill over 1m4f at Kempton in March; chance back up in trip on second handicap start. |
3/1 |
|
6th 9 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Useful bumper winner; has been brought along steadily in this sphere, a patiently ridden seventh in 1m4f Kempton novice 26 days ago; looks capable of a fair bit better now going handicapping and not without interest. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Beaten joint-favourite or favourite in four of five starts for the yard, finding the first two stronger when upped to 1m6f at Ascot in July and kept to 1m4f since, looking unsuited by the undulations at Epsom recently when fourth of 14; not dismissed back on a more conventional track. |
5/2 |
|
4th 6 (9) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Beaten at 7-2 or shorter in four handicap runs for William Haggas this year, showing his best form when third at Ayr (1m5f, soft) in June; not quite so good on faster ground twice since but not inconceivable there is a bigger run lurking and Henry Callan is a good booking; key player. |
5/2 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
5yo now who won for Sean Woods on belated debut last July; no joy in his seven races since, three for this yard, but he kept on well for a good third of 12 in a slowly run race at Ayr (upped markedly to 1m5f, soft) in June and may well have been stretched by 1m6f when performing respectably at Ascot (good to firm; made most) three weeks ago; firmly in the mix. |

11st 2lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood in June and followed up in the Ladies' Derby over C&D (good to firm); however, he seems to have gone off the boil on his three runs since; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
New cheekpieces when he went back-to-back over 1m4f at Goodwood and Epsom but his form has dipped; effect of the headgear might be wearing thin. |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 (12) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
2-4 for new stable, winning at Goodwood (1m4f, good; cheekpieces first time) before getting the better Epictetus over C&D last month; came unstuck at York in his hat-trick bid and this looks a competitive race in which to get back on track. |

11st 8lb |
He hasn't been at the top of his game over C&D on his last three starts but was on slow ground each time, which may not have suited; has an excellent record here otherwise (three-time C&D winner on good/good to firm) and he's 1lb below his last winning mark; can't be discounted. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
With Ben Brookhouse when gaining two C&D wins last summer; best run for current yard was in Bahrain back in the spring; may have needed it here ten days after three months off but could have run better than he did (led early). |
10/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won twice over C&D for Ben Brookhouse last summer, including this race by a wide margin (cheekpieces first time) when rated just 1lb lower; only run to form once in four starts for George Baker this year and he was tailed off on soft ground here when last seen in June; Patrick Mullins has been booked this afternoon and not unreasonable to think this race has been on the agenda for a while; respected. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has run several good races in defeat this year and perhaps found good to soft ground troublesome when well behind at Epsom two weeks ago; should be on the scene granted suitable conditions. |
8/1 |
|
7th 3 (10) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Yet to win this year but he has run several good races in defeat at this trip; the bulk of his racing has been on good ground or quicker so underfoot conditions could be troublesome. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Beaten on his last 15 starts but placed over 1m4f/1m2f in three of his five races this term; has the form for another prominent finish and is claimer ridden for the first time. |

Two course wins to his name as well as a few placed efforts; latest 1m4f run not the race to judge him on but still looks a shade high in the weights for a race like this. |
20/1 |
|
8th 1 (14) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Multiple winner down the years, including at this track, and all ground seems to come alike to him; dropping back into Class 4 will help but his stamina has to be taken on trust. |
20/1 |
|
11th 9 (10) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
9yo who won two in a row at Lingfield (1m2f/1m1f, good to firm) and maybe went off too hard when well beaten at Sandown (1m2f, good) last time; has won here twice and he might not be far away if bouncing back. |

Amateurs' Derby at Epsom last time saw him well beaten at 28-1 on good to soft (unraced on worse); that followed a very solid sequence, the pick of which, however, was on AW. |
12/1 |

9th 8 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two 1m4f wins at Lingfield (AW) this year; he has run creditably in defeat off this mark on his last four starts but he will need extra to overcome it; untried on slower than good to soft. |

10th 5 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Ended a three-year drought when winning a 1m2f handicap at Sandown (good to firm) this month; Listed winner (1m2f, soft) here earlier in his career and ran well over C&D last month; one to consider. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |

Looked less than straightforward but ultimately responded well to change of headgear when winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) most recently, taking record to 3-16; enters calculations in the retained blinkers. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ideally suited by good or slower ground and he's very effective on heavy; won at Doncaster in March (1m2f) and had a near miss at Goodwood in June but his form nosedived at Epsom 11 days ago; has bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back in new headgear. |
12/1 |

Landed a good prize off today's mark at Lingfield (1m4f) on Good Friday but has mixed record since; ought to have been suited by the soft ground when midfield at Salisbury (1m4f) recently; others appeal more. |

5th 1 |
1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 4 |

1m4f AW winner in April followed by two good efforts; not so good since and although he still took third at Windsor (good to soft) last time, new trip needs to spark something if he's to improve his modest strike-rate. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |

Two 1m6f wins this summer; not so hot on good to soft ground for last two outings, albeit not disgraced on latest, and others seem to have more pressing claims despite his return to what should be a good mark. |

14th 11 (5) |

Two wins since joining Rod Millman, the latest a wide-margin success in a small field at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm) last month; second at Chepstow 25 days ago; handles good to soft but more to prove if it is slower. |
