11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Runaway C&D win (good ground) kicked off his summer hat-trick; came up short off this mark at Pontefract last month and may do so again. |
13/2 |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Easily capitalised on a reduced mark at Chester (7f, good) last month and he's made all over this C&D on both starts since (good to firm); this 5yo is up to a career-high mark but has never been better and could prove tough to catch once more. |

Turf wins on good and good to firm; made all for two 7f AW victories earlier this year and back from a break with a solid 2l third at Southwell; possibilities. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won 2yo maiden here (7f, good) last September and kept on for promising fifth on handicap debut at Chester (7.5f, good to soft; unraced on softer) in June before doing likewise when short-headed at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in July; may have been unsuited by the track at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) last month and the return to 1m could unlock some improvement. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Low-mileage colt who registered his 2yo success in a York maiden and posted two sound efforts since handicapping, beaten narrowly by Ironwill at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) latest; may do better still; not ruled out. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Bounced back to form when second of seven at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; 1lb rise for that still leaves him 1lb below his last winning mark and he ran well in his only previous attempt over this far; shortlisted. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won off 2lb higher in Class 4 on AW last November; has failed to land a blow in Class 3 races since returned to turf but this drop back in grade may have a positive effect; fairly useful in this sphere as a 2yo. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
260,000gns yearling; surrounded by subsequent winners when beaten a neck into second of 15 on his Newmarket debut (7f, good; 11-4) in November 2024; missed last season but he returned after a 17 months off with a close third at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in April; been gelded since but it's still early days and he's respected back from another break. |
6/4 |

3rd 2 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
260,000gns yearling; surrounded by subsequent winners when beaten a neck into second of 15 on his Newmarket debut (7f, good; 11-4) in November 2024; related to AW winners and is a fascinating contender on return from 18 months off, especially if the market speaks positively. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won 6f novices on his first two starts last June but failed to go on for Karl Burke; failed to beat a rival on his yard debut in 6f Chester handicap 13 days ago so has it to prove now. |
20/1 |

11th 8 (9) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won his first two starts (6f, good and soft); generally struggled since but his reappearance third at Pontefract (only run in cheekpieces) was a promising effort; sold for 58,000gns since latest; starts out for David Loughnane off a reduced mark; worth a market check. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins this year, including C&D, and he was well on top at the finish when scoring at Brighton (7f, good) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise in a deeper race could leave him vulnerable. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Only had five races and won the latest at Lingfield (7f AW) when nicely on top late on; 5lb rise seems fair but does have the widest draw to deal with. |
2/1 |
|
1st 13 (2) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
One of the youngsters in this field and he's had just four races, below-form sixth of 14 last time on handicap debut at Windsor (6f; 15-2); earlier efforts, including on Tapeta, means he can't be dismissed. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made the breakthrough in his first turf handicap when scoring at Haydock (good) last July, and he was back down to that same mark when a resurgent third at Wolverhampton (again 7f, AW) last month; often races freely and this first crack at 6f looks well worth a go; unproven away from a sound surface but he's otherwise interesting. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Found the race not run to suit at Epsom early last month, when hanging left, but then pulled way too hard in front on his Tapeta debut latest; that was far from the first time he'd over-raced and much will hinge on how he settles early from the inside stall. |

Campaigned mostly in lower grades and has done her winning on Wolverhampton AW; doesn't look the answer in this scenario. |

6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Four AW wins; 0-12 on turf but has largely consistent form in this sphere, creditable third at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) most recently; each-way possibilities. |
