12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Stablemate of Notable Speech; suited by good/firmer; has a very impressive record (161111) over 6f, narrowly justifying favouritism in the Sandy Lane Stakes (Group 2) at Haydock most recently; beat Ides Of March at Newbury (Listed) a week earlier; unable to run in the Commonwealth Cup due to being a gelding; major contender, with further improvement plausible kept to this trip and back from a well-earned break (had a busy May). |

Won two conditions races in a row at Meydan (6f, good/good to firm) early this year and bounced back from lesser run at Newmarket (7f, good) to win Listed race at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last Saturday; back up in grade today but he's in excellent hands to continue to progress; contender. |

9st 5lb |
3yo won a Group 3 over C&D last year; started this season promisingly with runner up efforts in listed company at Navan (6f, soft) and Newbury (6f, gd-fm); struggled in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup and July Stakes and again in the Group 3 Phoenix Sprint Stakes here on latest (slowly away); needs to bounce back. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Had excuses (trip/draw) returned to Group 1 level in last two appearances; progressive otherwise and ran well in the Commonwealth Cup prior to Group 3 win at York (6f, good) last summer; may still have more to offer; major contender. |
4/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Close fourth in Group 1 Commonwealth Cup (6f, good to firm) before stylish win against her own sex in Group 3 Summer Stakes at York (6f, good); outpaced when mid-division in Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and has something to find at this level, but this 3yo could have more to offer now back up to 6f; not ruled out; unraced on slow ground. |
12/1 |

7th 15 (2) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Has left her 2yo form way behind over 6f this year, belying big odds when travelling strongly but not giving an inch when fourth of 21 in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup (good to firm) at Royal Ascot; seized on a good opportunity in a Group 3 here since and is proving progressive; the return to 5f, after just one run at the trip as a 2yo, is an unknown but she probably has the pace to cope. |

9st 6lb |
Has made the frame at Newcastle (AW; behind Wiltshire) and Leicester since being gelded; good fourth in the Listed Carnarvon Stakes on this card last year; 0-3 on turf but has each-way claims. |
8/1 |

4th 6 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Completed an AW hat-trick when scoring on his handicap debut at Newcastle (6f) last April; held in six subsequent runs but he went close off this mark at Southwell in November and was a creditable third at Newcastle three weeks ago; now returns to turf but he ran well in a fast-ground Listed event last spring and he's still unexposed in this sphere; in the mix. |
13/2 |

3rd 9 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
He was completing a hat-trick when landing the 3yo sprint on this card 12 months ago, a race where he enjoyed a clear run while several in behind met trouble; he hasn't looked ahead of the handicapper in three runs this winter but likely this has been the main target and he has been gelded since his latest run. |

9st 8lb |
Novice winner as a 2yo; placed four times in Listed grade, most recently runner-up over C&D (good to firm) on final start in 2025; ran below market expectations at Bath on reappearance but consistent on the whole and may rebound. |
16/1 |

12th 6 (9) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Promising 2yo; made a fine return to action last May when second of 12 in a Listed event at Chelmsford (6f); placed at this level on a further three occasions, including when last seen in October; should give another good account for a stable that won this in 2010, 2013 and 2017. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Won 6f Yarmouth novice as 2yo; has bettered that form since, with narrow defeats in Listed races on AW (6f) and turf (5f), and although posing no serious threat when third at Pontefract (6f; good to firm; winner took a Group 3 next time) she did enough to think she can be involved again. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won a valuable pot as a 2yo; slow to come to hand as a 3yo but he changed yards last summer and made an impressive winning return from a gelding operation last September (6f, good to soft; cheekpieces on for the first time); fine reappearance when third in the Listed Cammidge Trophy at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; raised 3lb for his troubles and still has to prove his stamina for 7f. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 (5) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Useful 2yo who returned to form to win handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last autumn on second run for James Tate; however, he was no threat off his revised mark at Southwell (AW debut) on return, and he looks up against it in this higher grade. |
33/1 |

1st 2 (5) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |

Won the Super Sprint at Newbury on his second 2yo run; struggled in Listed/Group 3 events on his first two runs this year, after which he joined James Tate; low-key handicap debut at York in July and now goes in cheekpieces having been gelded; unraced on slower than good. |

8st 13lb |
Left his previous form way behind when a commanding winner of the Group 3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); he needs to prove that level of performance was no one-off but the runner-up has since gone well in the July Cup and this 3yo is entitled to respect. |

1st 7 (4) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Runaway winner at Lingfield (7f) last autumn but has not built on that, always in rear when dropped in trip for Listed sprint at Newbury last month; this looks a stiff task but at least returning to 7f should help. |
33/1 |

7th 6 (11) |
17th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Won by clear daylight at Lingfield (7f, AW) last autumn and ran pretty well in the Group 3 Greenham here on reappearance; gave the impression he failed to stay 1m when third in conditions race at Goodwood since; improvement required but today's drop in trip could be a catalyst for just that. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Useful for Karl Burke in his younger days, although only win was a York novice on debut (6f, good); best run for Roger Fell when fifth over 7f at Thirsk last time, when shaping as though he might stay 1m (can pull hard); tongue-tie now tried. |
3/1 |
|
5th 7 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Didn't build on successful debut for Karl Burke and he's been unplaced on all nine starts since; no immediate promise in two runs for current yard (wore cheekpieces on latest) and probably best watched for the time being. |
20/1 |
|
12th 14 (10) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Finished last in final start for Karl Burke and midfield effort on reappearance (AW) took his record since debut success to 0-8; chance largely depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

9st 5lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who was gelded prior to justifying favouritism with 1l success at Kempton (7f) on AW/seasonal debut, opening his handicap account and taking overall record to 3-9; this Wathnan Racing runner may well be capable of further improvement; ties in closely with Mudbir on Sandown running last July; major contender. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Good efforts in 7f handicaps at Sandown and Goodwood last July; had excuses at Doncaster when last seen; been gelded since; on a good mark but this free-going sort could do with settling better. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Last year's two wins were at 6f (one on good to soft) but this is looking his trip after competitive shows in strong handicaps at Sandown and Goodwood; it was a deep race last time and two of the three ahead of him dominated an Ascot handicap last weekend; firmly in the mix. |

3yo who is 0-6 since impressive win on debut at Newmarket (7f, good) last August but he ran well when fifth of 25 in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, soft) three weeks ago and there's every chance he'll be in the mix. |
