12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Returned after a gelding operation with a win at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month and he had an excuse when upped to 1m4f at Newmarket (took strong hold) next time; still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form and he's an interesting contender back in trip. |
7/1 |

8st 13lb |
Both wins (from nine races) have been in small fields, including from off the pace at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance ten days ago; going back up 4lb demands more but there's a fair chance that he'll turn out to be an improved performer this term; up 2f, which he's not sure to stay, but he has to be on the shortlist. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Best efforts from his five handicaps were on last two starts when third at Goodwood (1m1f, good to soft) and beaten a head at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm); back up 2lb but his first win should not be far away. |
7/2 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Hasn't had a lot of racing and probably his best effort yet in handicaps when a 4l third at Goodwood a month ago (1m1f, good to soft); he still doesn't look on that generous a mark. |

Quite smart at his best for Ed Dunlop and he goes well on slow ground; however, essentially regressive in 2025 and new trainer has to turn him around. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
All wins have come in the spring, mainly on soft ground, but there was no win this time round; has his lowest mark since 2020 but easily his best show this season was in March; usually wears a visor or cheekpieces and now he's blinkered first time. |

9st 8lb |
Won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in May and second of five there (1m2f, good to firm) last month, but he was beaten 4l and has finished down the field either side of that penultimate start; others have more pressing claims. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Gained a third win of 2026 at Beverley (1m2f) in May; comes here on the back of a good second of five in another 1m2f handicap there 12 days ago so must enter calculations. |

10st 2lb |
Got competitive some way out at Salisbury last time (1m2f, good to firm) and was mugged on the line; respected off 1lb higher, for all that he's yet to prove his stamina for this far. |

2nd 2 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Posted career-best performance when winning on Poytrack at Lingfield (1m2f) in April, after a break, but subsequent turf form has been underwhelming and he's still on a fairly tough mark; cheekpieces refitted in bid to perk him up. |

Improving filly who won twice over C&D on good to firm ground last month; raised another 5lb since beating Chantelle in four-runner race on latter occasion but still has obvious claims. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Bounced back quickly from a below-par AW run to win narrowly over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago and is now 2-9; recent 5lb rise demands more from her but she ought to give another good account. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark at the sixth attempt when scoring on Wolverhampton reappearance (8.6f, AW) in May; backed that up with a close call at this track (1m, good to firm) but her progress stalled with a disappointing run at Newmarket last time; has bit to prove again after that and she needs to bounce back with tongue-tie added; stablemate of Molo Del Palazzo. |
10/1 |

5th 3 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Improved on her 2yo form when winning an 8.6f handicap at Wolverhampton last month; further progress when second, beaten a head, to an improver at Windsor 12 days later; up another 4lb today but she's on the right path. |

Scored over C&D (good to firm) in June and was close third off today's mark at Epsom (1m2f, good) last month; needs to bounce back from a lesser effort a fortnight later but still enters calculations. |

Spent last year in France; fine record here, including two wins in summer 2024 and a third off this mark in a blanket finish two weeks ago; the latter followed a Windsor win (1m2f, win); looks set for another big run. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Bath (1m, good) in May on third start for new yard and completed the hat-trick at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; had just a neck to spare last time but he's just 3lb higher today and there can be optimism that this smooth-travelling 3yo still has more left in the tank. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive for new stable this season and bids to complete a hat-trick after 1m wins at Bath (good) and Lingfield (AW); his tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but he could plausibly have more improvement to come over this new trip; obvious contender. |
6/4 |
Betting Forcast
16/1 Hengest, 4/1 Almekarem, 4/1 Perfect Scoundrel, 10/1 Arthurs Realm, 10/1 Mao Shang Wong, 8/1 Double Red, 6/1 Trio, 14/1 Crystal Pier, 8/1 Hello Cotai, 6/1 Sail On Sailor
Verdict
Several of these have enjoyed good seasons already and Sail On Sailor, Trio and Perfect Scoundrel can all be in the shake-up. Double Red (second choice) could bounce back to his best today but ARTHUR’S REALM returrns to a more suitable trip and can exploit a good mark on his second run for Gihan Arnolda.[Paul Smith]
