26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 6f winner in 2025; took a step back in the right direction when third of 12 to the reopposing Rhythm N Hooves at Newbury (5f, good to firm) six weeks ago; his ability to handle going softer than good has to be taken on trust but his stable is in really good form. |

Dual 6f winner in 2025; regressive in 2026, tenth of 13 at Windsor last time on first run after wind surgery; very best form is over further but he has fallen below his last winning mark and Seamus Cronin's claim is a plus. |

His form has taken off for Andrew Balding this year, winning handicaps at Newmarket (twice) and the Wokingham at Royal Ascot; came up short in the July Cup eight weeks ago but this will be easier and he still has time to establish himself at this level and higher. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Smart handicapper who brings excellent stats, being 3-3 at Newmarket (on the other course, admittedly, but it bodes well) and 3-3 (much improved) this term for new yard; prevailed only narrowly in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently but seems on his way to becoming a Group performer; adds great interest. |

The talking horse in good 6f handicaps this spring and he delivered, coming clear with no fuss under Oisin Murphy at Newmarket (good) on yard debut and not having to work much harder under a penalty there (good to firm) in May for Shane Foley; 10lb higher than last time but could be on his way to better things. |

He has been revived by a switch to AW of late, finishing a close third at Wolverhampton (6f) last month before a dominant win back at that track 22 days ago; up 6lb but still feasibly weighted on his turf best; big player from a handy draw. |

Dropped to 5f for last two starts and won them both, at Newmarket (good) and Ascot (good to firm); came from the rear to score narrowly in both, under Jack Dace in bunched finish last time; raised another 3lb but may have more to offer in his bid to remain unbeaten at 5f. |

Progressing at a rate of knots; impressive over C&D in August on his only 5f run; has since run a fine race for second in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, heavy); could have more to come back at 5f and he is a leading contender. |

2nd 4 (12) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Began 3yo campaign with a BHA mark of just 61 and went on to win five times (6f-8.6f); returned to action with a huge performance at Kempton (6f, AW) in March, slicing through the field from 2f out, and that positive impression has been confirmed with further wins at Newcastle (6f, AW) and Ascot (5f, good to firm); looked a natural at 5f when winning at the Shergar Cup meeting and the demands of this race will ask different questions; whatever the outcome today he remains a sprinter to keep on the right side. |
12/1 |

1st 2 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Progressive last year and he has continued the good work in 2026, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton and Newcastle either side of lesser turf efforts, albeit in hot handicaps; has run well at Ascot in the past and although he has yet to race over 5f, he is a strong traveller who could prove suited to it; interesting. |

His progress looked to have stalled after winning at Chester in July but he was back to his best when third at Goodwood 12 days ago, not really getting a clear run at things until it was too late; runs off the same mark here but he will have to prove himself on soft ground. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Down the field at Doncaster four weeks ago but that was his first attempt at 7f and it was in a more competitive race than this; he had a 3-8 strike-rate previously (including 6f wins on good/good to soft) and this 3yo could bounce back with a bold show for his top yard. |

Just one win to his name but runner-up in a big field at the Dante meeting here and again found only one too good at Southwell in September; however, both those runs were over 5f, he hasn't looked as effective at this trip and he never looked like getting involved over 5f here on Friday. |

Ran a cracker to finish second of 22 in a hot 3yo C&D handicap at the Dante meeting; unable to build on that since but he returned to form when second at Southwell 17 days ago; that was a drop in class and a 2lb rise back up in grade could find him out. |

Won on 2yo debut at Ayr (6f, good) in July 2024 but he's 0-18 since and was always in rear at Southwell three weeks ago; continues to drop down the weights but he needs a transformation back on turf; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

Winless since his 2yo debut and with his fourth yard already; signs of life on debut for his new trainer at York and this is easier on his AW debut (brother to a dual course winner), so he is one to consider off a career-low mark under experienced 5lb claimer Cian Horgan. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Hard to fancy on recent efforts with no better than a tenth-placed finish in his last five starts; however, he could be revived by a recent stable switch (from Seb Spencer) and he's fully 18lb lower than when eighth in the 5f handicap at Royal Ascot last summer; worth monitoring in the market. |

Inconsistent across his recent starts and well beaten at Ascot (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago, but prior to that he ran well when fourth of 17 at Newmarket (6f, good to firm); this 3yo has the advantage of stall 1 and is capable of a big run if back on song; unraced on slow ground. |
