11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has won and gone close in Group 3s (5f) on this track; seems to have lost some firepower this year but she wasn't far away in a 6f Listed race here in May nor was she disgraced in the Group 1 Flying Five in Ireland recently; might have a better chance than these terms suggest, at least for a place. |

14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 3lb |
On a long losing run, and now to 93 from the 107 mark she held when failing to make an impact in this event last season; in rear in the Temple Stakes won by Mgheera; down the field in the Wokingham and the Coral Golden Handicap. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Losing run stretches back over two years; happiest on slow ground; tailed off in the Wokingham six weeks ago and returning cheekpieces aren't enough to make her of interest. |

15th May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
C&D Listed winner in 2021 on sole visit here and he's also well handicapped on his 2022 form; missed all of last year and he could improve for last month's comeback run at Newmarket, but he very much needs to. |

17th Apr 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Talented 6f sprinter who was placed in the Stewards' Cup (soft) and the Ayr Gold Cup (good) in 2021; retained ability in a light 2022 but he missed all of last year and an unknown quantity on return. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Won Listed (including C&D on good to soft) and Group 3 races before two-year absence; out of his depth in Group 1 and 3 races since but sights were lowered when he was a more encouraging fourth of ten in the Shergar Cup over C&D (good to firm) last month; back on dry land after another Group 1 venture since and can't dismiss. |
12/1 |

16th 3 (1) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Won two 5f Listed races and a Group 3 (AW) in 2022; missed two years subsequently and well back in two Group races this summer; his fourth of ten at the Shergar Cup at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago was more like it but this looks too big a task. |
66/1 |

4th 1 (11) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Hard to weigh up after being absent for two years and then finishing down the field in Group races over this C&D and at Sandown, but he's well treated on the pick of his form, including a cosy win in this race in 2022, and he has the benefit of Hollie Doyle in the saddle. |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
10yo who isn't the same force as last year and may not want soft ground, but he's performed respectably in hot handicaps on his last few starts and is on a dangerous mark now dropping back down in grade; possible player. |
11/2 |
|
7th 4 (12) |
21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Top-of-the-trees in the best sprint handicaps down the years, winning the Stewards' Cup in 2020 and the Gold Cup in 2022; failed to beat a rival here 12 months ago but the weight has fallen off his back since and his run at the Curragh last week was encouraging; could well have a decent crack at this; refitted cheekpieces replace regular visor. |

7th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Smart in his time (Group 3 winner), but losing run up to 19 despite plummeting down the weights; best watched for now. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Without a win in three years; this season is turning into a struggle and not sure his recent fifth of seven at Thirsk offered sufficient encouragement that he's about to turn a corner; soft ground is unlikely to be ideal. |
7/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Over three years since his last win; down the field in two hot handicaps this season but last season's peak effort came when a close second in the Stewards' Cup and he's now 4lb lower; not straightforward but more than enough ability to contend. |

27th Aug 2022 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Promise as a 2yo, including on heavy; missed his 3yo campaign but he has made up for lost time this season, winning four 6f handicaps (second over 7f on penultimate start) including over C&D five weeks ago; more on his plate today but doubt he has reached his ceiling just yet. |
