Newbury

Tomorrow, FlatClass 17f
Verdict

Marginal preference in this wide-open listed event is for ELARAK who is taken to gain a deserved first success of the season on the back of a good second in listed company at Newmarket. Fondo Blanco also arrives in fine fettle and seems sure to go well but might have to settle for a place again. Spy Chief could bounce back after being poorly drawn in the Wokingham and the upwardly-mobile All Moonshine needs factoring in too.

    Smart gelding who doubled his tally with impressive 7f handicap win at Goodwood in May. Back on song when third of 7 in Thoroughbred Stakes there (1m, good to firm) in July. Not discounted for his in-form yard.

    Acquitted himself well several times in 2025 (second in Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot) and resumed with very good second in Salisbury 6f listed event, despite looking awkward under pressure. Poorly drawn when well held in Wokingham back at Royal Ascot only run since and must enter calculations.

    A 3-time winner in 2025. Yet to score this season but has progressed again, runner-up in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f) in June and in 7-runner listed event at Newmarket (6f, good) last time. Holds very good form claims.

    Verdict
    Ended last season (landed 1m Haydock handicap) in fine form. Back on the up in recent weeks when runner-up in 7f Goodwood handicap and third of 9 in Superior Mile at Haydock (1m, soft). A likely player again.

    Useful gelding who resumed from 4 months off to end a long losing run in 13-runner handicap at Chester (7.5f, good) 27 days ago. This demands another step forward though.

    Verdict
    Progressive Oasis Dream filly who enhanced a fine strike rate with ready success in 6-runner handicap over C&D (firm) in July. Absent since but she's likely capable of better still and shouldn't be underestimated in her bid for a fourth success of 2026.

    Starman filly who looked a good prospect in 2025 when going 2-3 in listed race over C&D (heavy) in October. This is no easy ask after 10 months off but she remains with plenty of potential.

    Smart gelding who was runner-up in 6f listed events at Doncaster and Southwell in November. Yet to hit top form in 3 runs this season, though not disgraced after a break when seventh of 10 in Prix de Meautry at Deauville (6f, soft) 19 days ago. No forlorn hope.

    Useful gelding who bagged 7f Thirsk conditions event in April. Posted a very good second in Haydock listed race (7f) in May but not at his best both runs since, beating one in Park Stakes at Doncaster (7f, good) 6 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
