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. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Looked destined for the top when thrashing 25 opponents in 7f handicap at Royal Ascot in 2024 but he never quite kicked on for Ed Walker; back to winning ways over 7f/1m for his new trainer in Dubai early in the year; up and down since returning to Britain but he's capable of a prominent showing. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Two wins at Meydan for current yard; best effort since returned to British soil when second in small field at Hamilton; rather weighted to the hilt on 2026 form but Harry Vigors takes off a useful 5lb. |
8/1 |

16th 5 (22) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Completed a Meydan double early this year; came up short in the Royal Ascot handicap he'd won in 2024 but ran respectably, behind an unbeaten rival, at Hamilton most recently; has to overcome the widest draw returned to a bigger stage. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Took advantage of a drop into Class 4 company when winning at Ayr (1m, good) in August, but hasn't repeated the form in two attempts since; needs to bounce back in a new combination of headgear. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Took advantage of a drop into Class 4 company when winning over C&D last month; not in the same form at Beverley (1m2f, heavy) three weeks later but he is 4lb lower than when second to Thunder Roar in this race last year; each-way shout. |
14/1 |

7th 1 (9) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Off a good mark he wore down a subsequent winner at Ayr (1m, good) and getting back on softer ground is a plus; raised just 3lb and he's on the shortlist; stays this far. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Superbly bred gelding whose form has hit new heights this season; runaway winner of handicap at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Oaks day and followed up cosily in Listed race at Sandown (1m2f, good) five weeks ago; thriving and looks the one to beat. |

1st 5 (4) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Produced a very smart handicap performance at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Oaks day, registering an RPR of 121 and taking record to 4-8; leading contender provided that form is backed up returned to Listed level. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has run respectably on soft; hooded on last two starts, with a back-to-form second of six when stepped up to 1m2f for C&D handicap (good) on 2026 reappearance; raised 5lb since and probably not straightforward but that was a promising effort here from out the back (ran on well with too much to do) and he has to be in serious calculations. |

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. |

19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent over 1m this term for new stable; won at Pontefract in April and Ayr in September; ran respectably in big field at York most recently; out of 1m2f scorer but doesn't shape as if he's crying out for this new trip. |
11/1 |

1st 1 (1) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with a 1m Pontefract win (good to soft; has also won on soft) off 1lb higher in April; pair of respectable thirds back there (good/good to firm) in July and considered back from a two-month break on ground which suits. |
13/2 |
