3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 2-4 since rejoining Jane Chapple-Hyam and had three of these behind when fourth in a strong York handicap in one of those defeats; he appeared to be stretched by an extended 1m5f when again running fairly well at Newbury; only 4lb above last winning mark and with Saffie Osborne recruited, he's a player. |

3rd 9 (12) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Record of 2-3 since rejoining Jane Chapple-Hyam and racing over 1m4f; prevailed at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last time; ties in with French Duke on York running; respected in current form, upped a bit further in trip. |

1st 8 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month for Jack Morland and, following a 22,000gns sale, he was back with his former yard when following up in 15-runner race at Ascot (upped to 1m4f, good to firm) in July; couldn't complete the hat-trick in a big field at the York Ebor meeting but still performed with credit in fourth; considered under Billy Loughnane. |

9st 6lb |
Still has only one win to his name (a 1m3f Hamilton novice) but his fifth to Evanesco in the Lanark Silver Bell (1m4f) was a solid effort; competitive on AW of late, twice placed (Class 3 and 4) at Kempton, narrowly beaten over 1m3f (7-2) three weeks ago; only a fraction more required. |

3rd 3 (1) |
30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has won only a novice contest (Hamilton in August) but ran on well from the rear for second of 11 here (1m4f) on penultimate outing and that is his best form this season; big player if he serves up the same again. |
7/1 |

6th 5 (11) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Has form over 1m2f; unplaced favourite in major handicap when bidding for Hamilton double but bounced back with a close second at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last time; has quite low mileage and may have a race in him off current mark; one to consider. |

Won first two races this year, one on Southwell Tapeta; two good thirds in a mixed record since, including over 1m4f on Kempton's Polytrack on penultimate outing; considered in this small field. |

7th 4 (4) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 3 |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Added to his excellent course record with two more wins this year, including this trip; another excellent effort here when chasing home Gamrai over 1m3f in March, with next-time-out winners behind in third/fourth; fair fourth of nine at Newcastle (1m2f) when last seen in June and much respected back at Kempton. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (10) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Added to his excellent Kempton record with wins over 1m3f and 1m4f this year; another cracking effort there when chasing home the progressive Gamrai over 1m3f in March; probably worth ignoring a recent run on turf but his peak AW form (including all wins) has been achieved on Polytrack. |

Fine from 1m to 1m4f; has won on turf but the AW looks more his scene and especially Kempton where he beat all bar a handicap snip the last time; back on grass others look safer. |

Multiple AW winner, including three over C&D; belied his huge odds with close third at Newmarket (good to firm) on belated return to turf and possibly failed to cope with softish ground when tailed off at Goodwood last weekend. |

8th 6 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |

Multiple AW winner; belied his huge odds with close third at Newmarket on belated return to turf last time but this is a step back up in grade; 0-6 in this sphere and others look preferable. |

3rd 1 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |

Ten-time AW winner who is 5lb lower than when winning at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last November; however, this is his first run since January and he was well beaten at Ascot in May 2024 on his last encounter with turf; 0-5 on grass and others have less to prove. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has been smart in his time; his efforts since returning from an absence suggest he's not the force of old but he's edged down to a mark he can be competitive from; first-time cheekpieces are reached for by last year's winning stable. |
14/1 |

4th 1 (3) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Has been smart in his time and is now 10lb lower than when winning the 2023 Cambridgeshire; returned after a long absence in May, but he's been working his way back to form and was only beaten around 2l when fifth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last time; looks worth another try at this trip and he's in the mix back on turf. |
10/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Has been smart in his time and is now 10lb lower than when winning the 2023 Cambridgeshire; record on the AW as a 3yo read 121, but a leap of faith is required based on his two efforts since returning from a long absence (and wind surgery). |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Four wins from 13 starts, the most recent success coming on the AW at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in April; may have needed his first start for 98 days when seventh there last time but he does have a bit of an inconsistent profile. |
6/1 |

7th 5 (9) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Four wins from 12 starts; successful reappearance over C&D (made all) in April and again ran well when second at Newmarket (1m4f, good) in May; given a break since a lesser run at Carlisle at the end of May and that C&D win shows he's well capable when fresh; enters calculations. |

Built on his handicap debut with a 7l success at Epsom (1m4f, good) in July 2025; well held in just two outings since, although the fact he went off at 2-1 for his Thirsk reappearance four weeks ago suggests a lot better was anticipated by his leading stable; it'll be interesting to see if his supporters' are prepared to give him a second chance. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Two big runs over 1m4f here, including when third of nine in Listed race in May; not quite so good in two Ascot handicaps (1m6f/1m4f) since and there's a bit more to prove at this trip but that Listed run reads well. |

Won the 2022 Cambridgeshire but his only win since came in Bahrain (1m2f, good) last January; some creditable efforts on turf this summer; this is just his second AW start but he was runner-up at Wolverhampton on the previous one in November 2024; could be in the shake-up but the suspicion the wait for another British win will go on. |
