15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Did well to win at York (good to firm) off just 1lb lower in August but only fourth of five in the Great Metropolitan at Epsom (also 1m4f, good, Topteam behind) 17 days ago; that was a shade underwhelming given he'd won the race in 2025 but was a little weak in the market so maybe better can be expected this time. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Last year's winner (good) who ran well in two other appearances over C&D; did well to win at York (1m4f, good to firm) under John Egan in August and arrives here fit after three creditable efforts at Meydan; firm contender. |

Had a busy 12 months but right on the money when staying on best last time at York (1m4f) and this stiff finish will suit him well, as it has done before; only 3lb higher. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all in this race off 2lb higher on good to soft for Jedd O'Keeffe last year; drew a blank in six outings for Stuart Williams but latest 1m4f Doncaster third on good to firm was respectable; sold for 8,000gns since; could make another bold bid in this race. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 8 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
A fair 1m4f scorer for Jedd O'Keeffe; resurgent for his new yard when runner-up at Kempton (1m3f) in February but well held at Yarmouth two weeks ago; the sort to bounce back though. |
6/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three front-running wins at 1m4f, on AW and turf (good to soft; effective on good), but he doesn't have to lead, as shown when held up before having a tight passage behind an improver at Kempton (1m3f) in February; rare to see him over 1m2f but he has a good run in him back on turf. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Narrow C&D winner (Class 4; 12-1) in November and, broadly speaking, has acquitted himself respectably since; stamina was likely overstretched at Wolverhampton (1m4f) latest; it's interesting that Jack Callan (1-1) returns to the saddle from just 1lb above that winning mark. |
4/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
1m2f and 1m4f AW winner, including on Tapeta; backed up November's Newcastle success with a respectable third at Lingfield last month; was below that level at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) latest; drops 1lb and can be competitive if he acts at this track. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Thriving since the cheekpieces went on, scoring at Southwell (1m4f) in February and bettering that form when beaten 1l by Son Of Man over C&D 24 days ago; enjoys a 2lb weights pull now so he's a likely player. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Running well this year, winning at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) in February and going down by a neck in two starts over this C&D either side; up another 1lb, but another big effort is expected. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 (1) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Had a bit so spare when seeing off ten rivals in a 1m4f Southwell handicap last week; has a bit of class for this level and he's likely to make another bold bid. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 1m3f Class 5 handicap at Southwell in October and slightly better form when collared late over 1m2f at Lingfield 11 days ago; 1lb higher in a better race but current wellbeing will count for plenty here. |
9/2 |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
3-36 and has suffered heavy defeats on turf in two his last three starts, but he went down by just a head at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in between; perhaps not the most reliable, but would be a player on that form. |

11lb lower than when second of 11 over C&D a year ago, but losing run is now up to 16 so doubts remain. |

Last win was at Doncaster (1m2f) in June 2023 but that was off 4lb higher; mixed record in just four runs this season but he ran respectably at Doncaster last time and could be in the mix if he can build on that. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Fine looker, and for all that he's an infrequent winner (2-35), was once rated in the 90s; placed in a Class 4 over C&D (from 10lb higher) last June but he's been steadily regressive since; safer options elsewhere. |

9st 5lb |
Placed twice since dropped back to 1m last month, more recently when very close third (just behind The Sweet Escape) at Leicester (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; competes off same mark here; big player if new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

3rd 1 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |

Without a win since 2024 but he got right back on track when second of ten in 1m Ripon handicap two weeks ago; up 2lb but well in the mix. |
5/1 |

2nd 9 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Last turf win was here (1m2f, good to soft; from 6lb higher) in June 2024; fair third at Wolverhampton (8.5f; 10-1) on penultimate start but took a backward step at Doncaster (1m2f) subsequently; easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |
