1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Showed improved form (won/second) in 2m handicaps at Goodwood in May; came up short at Royal Ascot (2m4f) since but may have more to offer back down in trip/grade; tongue-tie applied. |
8/1 |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Tailed off last June in the Derby and 1m4f Group 2 at this meeting; gelded and reappeared this season with two improved performances in 2m handicaps on good ground at Goodwood, winning the first in emphatic style and collared close home by Manxman on latest; up another 2lb but another bold show may well be on its way. |

Gelded prior to emphatic success over C&D (good) this month on handicap/seasonal debut, proving suited by the new trip and opening his account at the seventh attempt; respected with further improvement plausible. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Last-gasp win under Taryn Langley in a warm race at Lingfield (2m, AW) on Good Friday; bumped into a well-handicapped rival at Goodwood (2m, good) since and respected off the same mark for last year's winning yard. |
9/4 |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won off 2lb higher at Goodwood (1m6f, good) last May, form which he's failed to match since but his last-gasp win under Taryn Langley in a warm race at Lingfield (2m, AW) 15 days ago was a healthy step back in the right direction; back up 4lb but back in serious calculations. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Hasn't scored under this code since his French days in 2022 but looks interesting with usual visor removed, having gained all wins (Flat/hurdles) without headgear; yard also runs High Fibre. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Runner-up (albeit no match for winner) off today's mark at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in May and didn't run badly on the Flat (1m6f) last month; could yet have a bigger effort in him over jumps but this drop back in trip may not be in his favour. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Last month's down-the-field finish in a valuable Flat marathon is easily overlooked and he reverts to hurdling on an attractive mark but he's on the downgrade and has become inconsistent; soundly beaten twice in cheekpieces last season and now tries blinkers; hard to predict. |
7/1 |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All British Flat wins (five of them) have been at Goodwood but the last four were on soft ground, latest in June 2025; sixth in this race in 2023 and fifth last year, both on soft; last August saw his only run on good to firm in the last three years and he wasn't discredited, but he needs to step up on this year's efforts, particularly as he's 4lb out of the handicap. |

6th 6 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ran creditably in sole Sandown attempt (four years ago) but is still seeking a first British Flat success away from Goodwood; modest third there last time in a race he'd won in 2022. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning at Pontefract (2m1f, good to firm) last September when with Sir Mark Prescott; hasn't been with this yard for long, but he has looked better on Tapeta than on Polytrack thus far. |

2-11 for Sir Mark Prescott, including 2m1f win at Pontefract (good to firm; 3lb higher today) last September in first-time cheekpieces; sold for 90,000gns in October and his only run over hurdles was a modest one in March; cheekpieces absent that day and in this race; others preferred. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has won five times this year including his last two starts off his lower turf mark; closely matched with V Power on last month's C&D running and another big effort is likely; stable also runs Letmebetheboss. |
5/2 |

1st 7 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Prolific AW winner, most recently when darting 14l clear at Wolverhampton (2m) in June; narrowly exploited lower turf mark at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) last month but he pulled clear with the runner-up and remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher; shortlisted. |
