22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
First of two wins over C&D came in this contest in 2024 off 4lb lower; had a fruitful AW winter campaign; reported to have met with a setback when being readied for Chester's May meeting and returned only when beating just one home in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) recently; has a high draw to contend with here and is 3lb higher than his last winning mark. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Very consistent on AW since last turf appearance; respectable seventh, despite enduring a nightmare passage, in this contest two years ago but is 5lb higher and lacks recent match practice in this compensation attempt; absent since March. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Solid fourth-place finishes in good handicaps at Epsom and Sandown on his last two starts; suspicion he will prove vulnerable for win purposes. |

4th 9 (11) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Ran respectably at Epsom last time but still has a poor strike-rate in recent years and hasn't won on turf since 2023; the 8yo looks unlikely to prevail in another competitive field. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Performed well (first and third) at Chester in last two turf attempts and may be capable of further progress returned to this sphere; helps to give his connections, who also run Aalto, a robust hand. |
9/1 |

7th 3 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |

Good effort to win a 7.6f handicap at Chester on his reappearance and he ran to a similar level when third back there (7f) four weeks ago; today's stiffer test at the trip will suit and he has shown promise on AW. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
In-form 7yo who has reached the frame in his last three runs including when third of 11 in a C&D handicap (good to firm) three weeks ago; finished ahead of Exposure in that race and he has each-way claims again. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Gained last three wins on Newcastle AW; ran respectably back there on latest start; has bits of encouraging turf form this term but it's over two years since his last success in this sphere. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
His second of 11 over C&D (wore cheekpieces) on reappearance in March was a new high and he bettered that when landing soft-ground Yarmouth handicap (1m) in first-time blinkers in June; off since and no headgear for this stable debut (same owners) but he still commands respect. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice as a 3yo, including a handicap at Goodwood (1m, good) last May; placed on his first two starts this year (1m/1m2f) but below his best when held in fourth at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) 46 days ago; drops back in trip with blinkers now tried. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
He was making hay in AW claimers earlier in the year, winning three of his last four races (6f-1m) for Denis Hogan and he carried on the good work when taking a Kempton handicap (1m, AW) at 25-1 on his stable debut four weeks ago; up 4lb but he used to act on turf and can't be discounted from a good stall. |
16/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner for Aidan O'Brien in his early days; his three wins this year have all been in claimers at Dundalk (6f-1m) but he travelled smoothly before winning with plenty in hand last time; with another new yard now but he remains well treated on old form and is not ruled out back in a handicap. |

Missed more than 18 months prior to a few lesser efforts in the spring, but has found his level again; enjoyed the run of the race when winning narrowly on Polytrack last Wednesday but set to go well again under a penalty for a yard in good nick. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
All seven wins have been on AW and latest was over C&D in January; found more progress when a close third off this mark at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in April but he's been tailed off back on turf in last two runs; now returns to scene of his last success but he needs to bounce back near best. |
16/1 |
|
22th 7 (22) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time AW scorer, mainly over 1m, most recently in January; latest effort (failed to beat a rival) took turf record to 0-16; enough to prove back over 7f for first time in five years. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Four course wins over 7f; went close at that trip last month and a subsequent turf defeat isn't the run to judge him on; has had only one attempt at 1m and he appeared to stay; career best needed to win, though. |
8/1 |
|
12th 9 (3) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Made it 4-9 in AW handicaps when winning at Kempton (7f) last month and went close there next time (7f); key player if transferring his form back to grass; well beaten here on sole turf start but that was his debut back in September 2024. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Winning debut on AW at Wolverhampton (7f) last March but was well held in two handicaps later; however, he posted a solid effort when third at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on reappearance, having undergone wind/gelding operations, and should come on for that; this return to 1m could suit. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Didn't build on a promising start on AW last spring, including well held in 1m Haydock handicap (good to soft) on sole turf start; has been gelded and had a second wind operation ahead of this return from eight months off; it's still early days but his profile isn't compelling. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Normally ridden to be produced late, as when successful at Salisbury (7f, good) in June, but was given a straightforward ride to land a claimer over C&D (good) 20 days ago; this looks tougher however and more is required. |
14/1 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
The last run wasn't his best (four ran) but he was bang there in his four previous races, all handicaps at 7f/1m; drops into a claimer on favourable terms and must have every chance; has run well here before. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Doubled his tally when narrowly winning over 1m at Newcastle last month and followed up with another narrow AW success here over 7f in first-time cheekpieces two weeks ago; they are now discarded but he's shortlisted off this 4lb higher mark. |
5/1 |
|
1st 7 (5) |
5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has been racing over further since making a successful handicap debut/reappearance at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in April, narrowly regaining winning form at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) 11 days ago; only 2lb higher and return to this trip shouldn't be an issue; cheekpieces given a go. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Landed 1m novices on his first two starts in 2025; signed off for Hugo Palmer with a good second of ten in 1m Kempton handicap 23 days ago; changed hands for 30,000 guineas and not out of things for new handler. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 (9) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) and Southwell (1m, AW) in his first two starts, but he's struggled in three of his four handicaps including when last of ten at Chester (10.3f) last month; has looked stretched in both attempts at that trip but he needs a major revival back on AW; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
