2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to build on a decent fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) in February when behind Blue Rc at Newcastle (1m) on Good Friday but the fact he made all in this race off 8lb lower last year means a revival can't be discounted, particularly as he's well drawn to attack again; tongue-tied first time. |

8th 9 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Quiet in Dubai in January but he returned to Britain with a good fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) five weeks ago; now 6lb lower than when winning the Thirsk Hunt Cup last May and he has the ability to feature. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Often front runs; below par in three outings at Meydan last month (including dirt) but well treated if a return to Britain sparks a revival having landed last year's Thirsk Hunt Cup off 6lb higher; Tapeta winner at the start of his career. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He was making his seasonal debut when only fifth in this race 12 months ago but he's been kept on the go this winter and has been better than ever; suspicion others will prove better handicapped here though. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
He has been a fine servant to connections and added wins eight and nine to his tally in 2025, the latest a 1m handicap at Kempton in November; ran as well as he ever has when second to an upwardly mobile 4yo over C&D five weeks ago but even that effort will need bettering in this field. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Tough and consistent sort who won the C&D Spring Cup on 2025 reappearance but couldn't get a clear run in it this time round; third in this race last year and 9lb higher today but he's an each-way contender. |
10/1 |

18th 3 (11) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Tough and consistent sort who won this race (good ground) on his reappearance 12 months ago and finished second in the Balmoral Handicap at Ascot in the autumn; starts the new season on a career-high mark but he's impossible to rule out. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Acts on soft; has mostly run well in warm 7f/1m handicaps this season, never better than when dead-heating for second in a valuable event at Ascot 11 days ago; this first Listed assignment makes for a different scenario but he has the form to be not far away. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Third at Epsom on return was a lot better than either of her subsequent efforts and she's only ever won two novice events, the latest in June 2022; some stiff tasks, admittedly, but others have more pressing claims. |
33/1 |

7th 7 (9) |
8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Capable of useful form; didn't fare badly in Royal Ascot handicap most recently considering two things were against her (partially shod, poorly drawn); however, chance of ending a three-year losing spell depends on whether the first-time tongue-tie works a treat. |
12/1 |

10th 5 (4) |
18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Largely found it tough at Listed/Group level on joining David O'Meara last summer but made a promising return to action with her sights lowered when keeping on for third in 8.5f Epsom handicap (good to soft) on Oaks day; should be competitive from an unchanged mark. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
10yo who won this in 2023; frequently runs well in quality handicaps and he's 5lb lower than when a cracking third in the Royal Hunt Cup last June; scratched from the Lincoln when running a temperature on his intended comeback last month and he tends to improve for a run these days; also winless since 2023. |
15/2 |

11th 2 (1) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
9yo who has drawn a blank since winning on the July Course in summer 2023 and needs everything to drop right but he often runs extremely well in defeat, including when third in the Royal Hunt Cup in June; another respectable effort when sixth of 20 in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good) a fortnight ago; not discounted in this slightly easier race. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has won on firm but best form on soft, as when winning the Lincoln (1m) in 2024; lightly raced with little return since but he was hampered on Newcastle AW last June; entitled to be rusty for new trainer on this first run since; missed a race earlier this month due to good to firm ground. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Good fourth in this in 2024 (soft) and respectable eighth last season (good to soft), making his reappearance each time; runner-up on three of his five subsequent starts last term (good to soft/soft); his four wins have come on soft/heavy going and such testing ground today seems unlikely. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Two-time heavy-ground winner who was fourth of 17 in this last year (soft) and has run well to finish second on his last two starts (1m2f/1m, soft/good to soft); key player with conditions in his favour. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but not at the same level at Epsom (8.5f, good) and Kempton (7f, AW) since, and needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |

8th 2 (11) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Added to a good record in the spring when winning off 2lb lower at Lingfield (1m) last month in first-time cheekpieces; a long way below that level on turf since and this trip is a bare minimum round here, especially from a wide stall. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
7yo who has returned in top form this term, finishing third at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) then winning the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; effective over C&D; could be bang there once more up 3lb for last time. |

1st 8 (8) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Hit a hot spell at the beginning of last summer, winning over C&D (good to firm) before following up at the Epsom Derby meeting (8.5f, good to soft); creditable third (Sea Force sixth) of 12 on Musselburgh reappearance (1m1f, good) three weeks ago; likely to be competitive again. |

3rd 3 (10) |

9st 8lb |
Won at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May and Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last year, but well held in his last two starts; his record suggests this first start in 281 days may be needed. |

8st 13lb |
Returned from seven months off to win this race from off the pace last year; couldn't build on that in four subsequent starts last season but was back down to that winning mark when slightly unlucky second at Bath (1m, also good) on his resumption three weeks ago; of firm interest. |
9/4 |

2nd 1 (2) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Returned from seven months off to win from off the pace at Epsom (8.5f, good) last April; now bids to do much the same, after four lesser shows last season, and he's back to that last winning mark. |
5/1 |

5 (5) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Returned from seven months off to win an Epsom handicap in April (8.5f, good); not quite at the same level in three runs since and suspicion he will prove vulnerable again. |
