23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Sightly disappointing after sluggish start at Newmarket this month but returned to turf with three good runs this spring, the most notable a win at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on second occasion; features prominently in calculations. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
In good form since returning from a break, winning at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May before close third at Salisbury (6f, soft); there's still mileage in his mark on his old form and he could be in the shake-up. |

9st 12lb |
Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; only 2lb higher here, but has mixed record since that last success and he was down the field at Beverley last time; others are more persuasive. |

Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; respectable fifth of ten at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago but he remains 4lb above the mark he defied at Haydock. |

Ended his abbreviated campaign last season with a win in this race; well held in his first three runs this term but he turned things around with a near-miss at Newbury (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; nudged up 2lb but he remains feasibly treated and is respected back at this track. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Often highly tried last year; generally consistent in handicaps this season, off a sliding mark, but finding the right trip seems to be an issue, with her going up from 1m to 1m2f last time, and now dropping to 6f; blinkers are given a second try. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Quite well handicapped if judged on this spring's placed form over 7f/1m and may not have been suited by the contours of Beverley when upped to 8.4f this month (still ran okay); has a fighting chance if stamina holds out over this even longer trip; tongue-tie added. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has shown ability when fifth in 5f maidens at Beverley on his last two starts (good to firm/soft); doesn't appear straightforward and the return to 6f isn't a guaranteed plus (he's from a family of 5f sprinters) on nursery debut, but the first-time tongue-tie/blinkers could help; not discounted. |

17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed some ability dropped to 5f on his second start when fifth of eight over C&D (good to firm) last month; was only beaten around 3l but he needs more improvement on this return to slow ground. |

Front-runner who ran as well as could have been expected in a Tapeta claimer on tough terms last time; that effort confirmed him still in form but there's not much wiggle room off this mark. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Unfavourably treated on these terms but he's in form after back-to-back handicap wins at 6f; should give his running. |

9st 9lb |
Has seven wins to his name and shaped well when placed on his first two starts this year; never figured when favourite at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June but race may have come too soon and dangerous to dismiss. |
11/2 |

7th 10 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has record of 3-6 over C&D and he's finished placed in his two runs this season including a close second at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last week; on same mark here and he's an interesting contender back at this track. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Had been expensive to follow but he ended a losing run at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago when more positive tactics were deployed; unpenalised when bolting up back at Chepstow on Tuesday and he is effectively 11lb higher today; slower ground shouldn't be an issue but this will require a good deal more. |

Pulled hard on his first two runs back from wind surgery (7f) and was much happier being allowed to stride on when easily winning an apprentice handicap over C&D last Sunday; no penalty and he can only look well treated now back in the groove. |

His last win was 15 months ago but he made a bold when a close third off a reduced mark over C&D (good to firm) last time; responded well to first-time cheekpieces in that race and has claims if the headgear works again. |
15/2 |

3rd 7 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won on the other course here (6f, good to firm) last May but he's been up and down since and has been out of sorts in his last two starts; now 8lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival with cheekpieces added. |

Beaten around 5l in a pair of 7f Kempton handicaps in recent months; will need improvement to go close but he's low mileage and Tom Marquand (2-11 for the yard) is a good booking. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Six-race maiden who ended last season with a disappointing 7f run and made a low-key return over that trip last month; might have needed that recent outing but others in this line-up have much less to prove. |

Seems happiest on Tapeta, albeit he's a course winner, and has still to prove he's up to this mark on turf; two poor efforts this summer, after a break, leave him some way down the pecking order. |

7th 4 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
5f win here (good ground) last August and he added two AW victories to his tally in December; his last two runs have been disappointing, the latest back on turf after an absence, but the return of Saffie Osborne to the saddle could perk him up (two wins and a second from the three times she has ridden him). |

0-8 before return to form for a narrow front-running win at Lingfield (7f, AW) six days ago; that was an apprentice race, when ridden by Oliver Hoodless, so he can race off same mark today, but there is more to prove on turf form. |
