29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Did well on the AW in his younger days (112112) including a win over C&D, but not seen on an artificial surface since April 2023; showed a bit more when fifth of eight at Haydock (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago and is an interesting contender back on Polytrack; stable also runs Tempus. |

Has recorded his biggest wins abroad, mostly at Group level; far from solid on 2025 form, latterly in handicaps; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Highly tried after his impressive win at 2024 Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) but has mainly been disappointing; second of six at Hamilton (1m) 12 days ago was clearly his best show this season but he needs to build on that today over a new trip. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Highly tried after his impressive win in last year's Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm), but has mainly been disappointing and only beat two home in the same race four weeks ago; rain not a problem but still has enough to prove; cheekpieces removed after one use. |
7/1 |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Well ahead of his mark last June when taking this race to pieces but he never went on from that and has been slow to come to hand this year; first-time cheekpieces could hurry him up and he's only 1lb higher than last year so has a big weights chance. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Ran well when fifth of 18 at York (1m, good) three weeks ago on his second start of the season; his four wins (one here) have come on soft going so slower ground today would aid his cause; could be a contender. |
6/1 |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Second of 14 off 1lb higher behind Thunder Roar at Ayr (1m) last September on his favoured soft ground, and didn't run badly when 4l 11th of 21 in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) on his reappearance; however, others have more compelling credentials. |
25/1 |

11th 16 (10) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Second of 14 off this mark behind Thunder Roar at Ayr (1m) last September on his favoured soft ground; however, he was below that level more often than not last season and is likely to find this too competitive. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Made it three wins from his first four starts when scoring on handicap debut at Hamilton (8.3f, good) last July; his progress stalled in two Listed races subsequently but this lightly raced 4yo has been gelded since and the return to better ground could be a positive, along with the step up in trip; retains potential for a top trainer who won this in 2018 and 2019; respected. |
4/1 |

Lightly raced progressive 3yo whose two wins have been in small-runner Hamilton contests at this trip on decent ground; softer ground seemed to stretch him when respectable third in Sandown Listed on latest; tried hooded now and has to be respected. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Mostly creditable efforts in 2025 and he won at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in August; Chester's extended 1m2f possibly stretched his stamina last time; could bounce back but as a 7yo he's more exposed than some of these. |
10/1 |

7th 3 (2) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Modest strike-rate of 3-37 but his last win was at Thirsk (7f) last month and he ran another good race when a close third at Newmarket (1m) last time; now goes into unknown territory at this trip but he ran well over 1m1f in July and he's not ruled out; acts on good to firm and good to soft. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Soft-ground win for Richard Fahey last November (1m); tongue tied for the first time when making a winning stable debut over C&D three weeks ago (good to soft); 3lb higher in a better race and going without cheekpieces today; handles good ground but perhaps wouldn't want it any faster. |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Record of 2-21 for Richard Fahey; successful in most recent turf attempt but the market may prove best guide on stable debut; tongue-tie added; still in same ownership. |
12/1 |
