2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
1m winner at Newmarket and York last summer but failed to shine on last two outings, when co-second favourite for the C&D Cambridgeshire on first occasion; only mid-division when 13-2 in the Spring Cup at Newbury two weeks ago but not beaten far and the draw looked a problem; not ruled out. |

11th 7 (4) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Below par on his last two 3yo starts but he'd previously won competitive 1m events at Newmarket and York (both good to firm) in the summer, and he did well to prevail at York after having to wait for a run; only 3lb higher here and he'll be a major player if ready to roll after six months off. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
3yo who won good handicaps this summer at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) and York (1m, good to firm); underwhelming when mid-division in the Cambridgeshire three weeks ago, even allowing for the 1m1f trip, but he's not written off in view of his previous abundant promise. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won a three-runner maiden at Doncaster in May on second start; well beaten in the Group 2 Dante at York (good to firm) in May, with better form for minor honours at 1m2f (on softer than good) in his two starts since but this race requires a chunk of improvement. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Made debut in April and won at Doncaster (1m2f, good) on second start; returned from break with front-running Listed third at Deauville last month (1m2f, good to soft; unraced on softer) and he could still have more to offer after just four starts; player. |
7/4 |

15th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't race last year having had an injury, and not entered in the Derby; second to subsequent Esher Cup winner on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last month and easily won three-runner maiden at 2-13 at Doncaster (1m2f, good) 12 days ago; takes huge leap in grade today but this 425,000gns yearling, whose dam won a Group 2, could have lots more to offer; not ruled out each-way. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Placed in three AW maidens before a tongue-tie was added for novice at Salisbury (1m2f, good to soft) in August and he easily made all at 8-11; never-dangerous sixth of 14 on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m4f) was creditable in form terms but showed that marked improvement is needed; this is his first run since changing hands and leaving James Ferguson. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |

Placed in three AW maidens before a tongue-tie was added for six-runner novice at Salisbury (1m2f, good to soft) 13 days ago and he easily made all at 8-11; improvement is needed but there's a strong chance he will be suited by this longer trip. |

200,000euros yearling; beaten by good horses in 1m/1m2f AW maidens and this looks his best opportunity to date, especially with his latest Chelmsford form franked; tongue-tie added. |

9st 4lb |
Record of 1-12 but his win came at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in March and he's held his form with three creditable efforts since; still looks on a workable mark and he's respected in suitable conditions back on turf. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Record of 1-11 but his win came at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in March and he was a close third at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last time; 3lb higher here but he still looks on a workable mark and has claims back in trip; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |

Off the mark at the eighth attempt when comfortably seeing off 11 rivals in a 7f handicap at Southwell (AW) last month; solid fourth at Musselburgh since and he shouldn't be inconvenienced by the return to 1m; arrives in better form than many; cheekpieces given another go; major player. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Progressed very well as 3yo last term, culminating in his close third in Group 2 Great Voltigeur at York (1m4f, good to firm) in August, until not so good trying 1m6f in Listed race on final outing; always close up and rallied when close second in 1m4f Listed event at Longchamp on reappearance; may well have more to give but it is needed in today's company. |
5/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won two novice events in the spring and a late surge took him to within a nose of victory in Listed race at Hamilton (1m3f, good; unraced on softer) in July; close third of seven in Group 2 Great Voltigeur at York (1m4f, good to firm) in August, coming from the back in something of a tactical race; 1m6f looks within reach and this highly progressive colt is top on form. |
11/8 |

3rd 4 (7) |

9st 2lb |
Won two novice events before advancing his RPR again when seventh of 12 in a 1m2f Group 3 at Royal Ascot, on all on good to firm; a prominent finish looked unlikely 1f out in Listed race at Hamilton (1m3f, good) on latest outing but a late surge took him to within a nose of victory; needs further major improvement but 1m4f beckons strongly. |

Gosden 3yo who has shown improvement since switched to handicaps, winning at Yarmouth then good third over C&D; subsequently gelded; may do better still; one for the shortlist. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |

Clearly underestimated by the handicapper when showing a willing attitude at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) in late April; he's in a lot deeper here and off a 7lb higher mark, so has to step up again; that's perfectly feasible, however. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins from 11 starts; successful on comeback at Kempton (1m4f, AW; made all) in April and again ran well when second at Newmarket (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; should be in the thick of things once more. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 (2) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Normally reliable and gritty performer, as evidenced by his comeback win at Kempton (AW; made all) in April, so his major flop at Epsom (again 1m4f, good) came as quite the surprise three weeks later; maybe that track didn't suit and his previous body of work means he can easily be given another chance. |
4/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |

Really likeable sort who scored three times on good ground (1m2f/1m4f) last term, twice coming out on top in tight finishes; gelded before again showing a fine attitude to pick up Kempton handicap (1m4f, AW) on his reappearance three weeks ago; likely won't go down without a fight for his ever-growing fan club. |

Form figures of 121611 in his six handicaps, with 2m aiding the cause at Newbury (good to firm) when he made all in cheekpieces on last two outings; up another 5lb but no shock if he again proves very tough to pass. |
13/8 |

5th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |

Sent handicapping this term and has won three of those five starts, last time upped to 2m when making all to justify favouritism with first-time cheekpieces in a five-runner race over C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago; raised another 5lb but he's the only 3yo in this field and he's progressing. |
13/8 |

1st 4 (1) |
24th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Up in trip to score on reappearance/handicap debut in June (Wolverhampton, 1m4f) and doubled his tally when winning at Chelmsford (1m5f, also AW) at the start of this month; beaten on turf over 1m6f (good) either side of that but first time was creditable effort and it was a much better race than this 19 days ago; cheekpieces go on and he should stay this far. |
