19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive for James Owen last year and he has hit new heights in 2026, winning at Goodwood and Newbury (both 6f on good ground) in May and running big races in major handicaps at Ascot, Goodwood and York since; only beaten a nose at the Ebor meeting and that race is already working out extremely well; 3lb well in so his claims are obvious. |

2nd 5 (12) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of five of his 12 starts (5.7f-6f) since joining James Owen last summer; fourth and sixth in major handicaps on last two starts and it would seem highly likely that he will give his running once again; appears to handle any ground. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Blessed with significant ability but his tendency to fluff the start makes him an unreliable proposition; produced late to win a valuable handicap at Newcastle (6f, AW; first run after wind surgery) on Good Friday and if anywhere near that level he would have a squeak. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |

As good as ever as a 9yo, recording four wins this year and running with credit in Listed event at Beverley (5f, heavy) 13 days ago; should run his race but there are likely to be better handicapped opponents today. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won this race in 2023 (soft ground) off a 9lb higher mark; it's generally been tough going for him this year but he retains ability and it doesn't require a huge leap of faith to see him go close; he could do with being more alert at the stalls though. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Money-spinner for connections down the years; recent efforts have suggested he retains a good deal of his ability and his handicap mark is easing; beaten only 3l in a 7f Group 1 at this meeting 12 months ago; each-way shout. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
His three good runs this year have all come at Ascot, winning in May (6f, good) and doing best of those in the stands' side group when sixth behind All Ways Glamorous here two weeks ago (cheekpieces on for the first time; first 5f run since 2024); can get it wrong at the start but he has races in him off this mark. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Kept on well when winning a 6f handicap (good) here in May; not so good on his next two starts but he ran well for third back here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; drops back to 5f with cheekpieces enlisted; others preferred for the win. |

Disappointing when favourite at Windsor last time but he's still lightly raced and was an emphatic winner at Leicester (6f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has claims if he can bounce back. |

9st 9lb |
Very useful juvenile whose best effort came when second in the Group 3 Dick Poole (6f) on soft ground at Salisbury; only reappeared in late July, subsequently finishing well held in a pair of Group 3 events; makes her handicap debut with something to prove. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Best 2yo performance came when runner-up in the Group 3 Dick Poole Stakes over 6f at Salisbury last September; flopped in the Group 1 Cheveley Park at Newmarket a fortnight later and absent since; her form needs to go to a new level on this comeback outing. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Can lead; won two big-field 7f handicaps in Ireland earlier in career and has shone on AW for this yard over the winter, winning six times at 6f to 1m; has looked to have his share of weight since back on turf but this is his first 6f run since an AW win last December and the strong pace will suit. |

Hasn't won on turf for over two years but landed a four-timer on the AW in the spring; has been running consistently on turf since, admittedly starting to look exposed but he should run his race. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark for the season when holding on narrowly at Newmarket (6f, good) last month and is now 3-8 overall; recent 2lb rise ought to be manageable and he might still have a bit more to offer; respected. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Can leads; dual winner at two; below best over 5f at Goodwood last time but had been running well in 6f handicaps and those were stronger races; stall 1 might not be ideal but enters the reckoning. |

Scored over C&D in May and was also on target at Windsor (also 6f, good to firm) in July; didn't run badly when midfield in competitive series final back at Windsor last month and may still have a bigger run in him. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
0-11 since last season's winning debut but he's performed well in handicaps off higher marks, including when last seen at York in June as he was fifth of 22 over 6f; ran well in May on his only previous start over 7f and he's had a wind operation; could be interesting. |
7/2 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Made it 0-10 since winning on debut over C&D last May when underwhelming at Leicester 19 days ago; however, he was in good form previously, finishing 3l fifth of 14 over 7f here (good) earlier last month when not quite seeing out the trip; edging down the weights and could be involved. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time turf winner who was in good form when placed on his last four starts for Ross Burdon, notably when 9lb out of the handicap but third at Ascot (6f, good to firm; Fifty Nifty a head in front) a fortnight ago; bought for 11,000gns on Wednesday and he's effectively off the same mark with Billy Loughnane taking over; two runs in blinkers (2023) were not his best but still looks a player on stable debut. |

Two C&D wins to his name; back to form for Ross Burdon, runner-up in his last three starts, but he's upped in class today and has it to do from 9lb out of the weights. |
