2nd 6 (9) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Has won on various ground; strong finish for 4l sixth of 19 in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f) and that handicap form has worked out exceptionally well; as expected he was suited by the step up to 1m6f when winning at Ascot last month and could have more to offer at this trip. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has contested four 1m4f handicaps this season and won twice in small fields on the AW, latterly despite veering badly right; 22-1 for red-hot race at Royal Ascot (good to firm) on latest outing but finished strongly for sixth of 19, which looked promising for today's test off 2lb higher. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Prominent racer who showed improvement to win by 4l at Newbury (1m4f, good to soft) in June and followed up at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) last month; had just a nose to spare last time and is 5lb higher today but he's clearly progressive and his trainer has won three of the last six runnings. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Second to Magnetude at Chester (1m4f, good) in May on handicap debut; 10-11 for seven-runner race at Newbury (1m4f, good to soft) on latest outing but drawing 4l clear represented improved form and gave plenty of hope for 1m6f; up 7lb but considered for yard which also runs Hard To Believe. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Irish stable won this two years ago; placed in both his handicaps, the latest when headed late on in the Ulster Derby at Down Royal (1m5f, soft); suffered another narrow defeat when the standard-setter in a 1m4f maiden at the Curragh (good to firm); hard to call him progressive, but trainer always respected on her forays here and cheekpieces are a first. |

2nd 4 (1) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Sets the standard on 83 after seven runs; one of his best efforts came in a Down Royal handicap last time (1m5f, soft) when headed late on into second; a repeat of that could see him go close. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
1m, heavy-ground winner as 2yo; emerged in second in Doncaster handicaps this season over 1m4f and an extended 1m6f, so he brings proven stamina and effectiveness on good to firm; up 3lb but more to give. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Showed staying potential with a 1m win on heavy ground in three-runner maiden at Goodwood last September, easily his best of three 2yo races; sent handicapping over 1m4f here (good to firm) on reappearance and kept on galloping for a good second of seven, so it looks like he will stay this trip; considered with an unchanged mark. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Relished the step up to this sort of trip when she obliterated three-runner Doncaster handicap seven weeks ago; impossible to accurately assess what she achieved that day but the handicapper came up with a 10lb jolt of improvement; fascinating to see what comes next. |

Flopped when favourite on handicap/seasonal debut but rebounded (good second over 1m4f) at Ffos Las since; possibilities off same mark upped further in trip. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All three starts this term were at about 1m2f on good, unraced on firmer; won handicap debut at Goodwood in May; disappointing favourite at York (failed to settle early on) next time but better from off the pace when third of 12 off this mark over C&D three weeks ago, in a tight finish for second with Akho Mezzna and Tambora; each-way contender again for in-form yard. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Narrowly made a successful reappearance/handicap debut over C&D (good) early last month, but proved a disappointing favourite at York (1m2f, good) last time; needs to bounce back, but the return to Sandown may help. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Made a successful stable debut/reappearance at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in April, but a 5lb rise seemed to find her out at York (1m4f, good) the following month; bred to stay this far, but she needs to bounce back after 79 days off. |

6th 11 (12) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Steady progress in four starts for Kevin Philippart De Foy as 2yo, before sold for £26,000gns; 11-1 for nine-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and came from last to first to get off the mark at first time of asking for new connections; up 5lb but 1m4f should be within reach and she probably has more to give. |
