3rd 1 (6) |
2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won C&D handicap (good to firm) in July; took further steps forward when second of 17 in the competitive Melrose at York (1m6f; winner Infraad gave 6lb) and second of eight at Haydock (1m6f, heavy); moves up to Listed grade and two rivals have better form but he's heading the right way. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
He's won on ground ranging from soft through to good to firm; strong finish for 4l sixth of 19 in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f) and won over 1m6f there next time; took another step forward when second of 17 in the competitive Melrose at York (1m6f) a fortnight ago and he's a leading candidate despite a 5lb rise for last time. |

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. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Goes beyond an extended 1m2f for the first time and there's a concern regarding whether he'll settle, which didn't happen at Sandown last time; however, two starts ago he was held up there (1m2f, good) and stayed on well for third, and on that evidence he has potential at this new trip provided he's amenable to restraint; pedigree bodes well for soft ground. |

3rd 4 (8) |
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. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
2yo heavy-ground maiden winner who was runner-up in handicaps at Doncaster on his first two starts this season (1m4f/1m6f, good to firm) before a flop at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in July; however, he's had a two-month break since and it's possible that he'll relish today's return to slow ground; one of two for yard that won this in 2024; interesting candidate. |
11/1 |

7th 5 (7) |
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. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark at Doncaster in sole 1m2f attempt; mixed results over further since, looking a non-stayer over 1m6f on heavy ground most recently; return to this trip is the angle with her. |

5th 8 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Won on stable debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in April and ran pretty well when fourth of ten at Hamilton (1m5f, good) latest; however, she's 3lb out of the weights in a higher grade today and others are preferred. |
33/1 |

4th 10 (8) |
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. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Kept on for second at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in June on second handicap start before bolting up in three-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m6f, good to firm); very close third of five off this 10lb higher mark at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) since and, while further improvement is necessary in this warm contest, she's in good hands and could have more left in the tank. |

3rd 4 (4) |
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. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won two in a row this summer (1m4f/1m6f, good to soft/good to firm) before 8l ninth of 17 in the Melrose at York (1m6f, good to soft), where he pulled hard and was caught wide; in the circumstances he did well to remain prominent for as long as he did, and he retains potential provided he settles better; just the type of 3yo his trainer excels with. |
3/1 |

9th 5 (3) |
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. |

1st 4 (5) |
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. |

Eleven-race maiden, placed six times, including over C&D; flopped on heavy at Haydock last month but back on track when runner-up to a progressive type in Thurles handicap (12.5f, yielding; made most) last week; contender back in a maiden. |

Runner-up on handicap debut at Down Royal (1m5f, soft) in June and filled the same position in a maiden at the Curragh (1m4f, good to firm) in July; however, made it 0-9 when down the field at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago and others have more pressing claims; a first-time tongue-tie replaces the cheekpieces adopted last time. |
