12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Reliable staying handicapper who hit new heights when winning in grand style at Glorious Goodwood (2m4f) last time; more is required in his first Group race but he needs some respect following such a career best. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Solid 2024 campaign included fourth of 18 in this race (good to firm; fine on soft) off same mark as today; made a satisfactory reappearance this April and, likely to build on that, looks a strong each-way candidate. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdles winner was last seen over timber finishing eighth of 24 in the 2025 Martin Pipe (2m5f, good to soft); kept on Flat since then and added a third win in that sphere when successful at Navan last time (1m6f, heavy); most of his wins came on good ground, so leading contender back over obstacles fit and in form. |

Two-time Flat winner scored off 8lb lower at Killarney last May (2m1f, good); solid second in 20.5f handicap at Goodwood (soft) in August; no impact in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket when last seen; not a great record fresh and testing ground another concern. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Thorough stayer who battled on for modest third in 2m4f handicap at Glorious Goodwood (soft) in August but then ran as though something was amiss in last month's Doncaster Cup; even if back on song, she might be a shade vulnerable back at 1m6f on drying ground here. |
12/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Third win last term was in a slowly run 2m2f conditions stakes at Pontefract (soft) in October in tidy style; respectable, never-dangerous third in a handicap at Glorious Goodwood (2m4f) on reappearance but, despite being markedly better off at the weights, she clearly needs to improve upon that if she's to turn the tables on easy winner Kyle Of Lochalsh. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023 but he's been in fair form on AW this spring including when fourth on Polytrack (2m) in his last two starts; should be in the mix again but he needs to find more to make a big impact; cheekpieces are removed and blinkers return. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023; expensive to follow in recent times but he arrives in form and this is a touch easier again off a career-low mark; can't be left out of calculations. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well held over hurdles in last three runs but he's won plenty under both codes including three over C&D; still 3lb higher than for his win here last June but he needs watching in market back on the Flat; effective on good/good to firm but most of his wins have come on slow ground. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |

Won plenty under both codes, including over C&D, and has slid to an attractive mark; this is less competitive than the races he's been contesting of late and he's one of the likelier winners back up in trip. |
3/1 |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Five-time hurdle winner who returned to form with clear second at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) in December; only seventh of 12 at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) but didn't run badly and he's not discounted. |

A very useful four-time winner on the Flat, he got off to a winning start over hurdles at Hexham (2m4f, heavy) in December; stayed on well to snatch third up in trip in a Grade 2 at Haydock (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago; holds obvious credentials back down in grade. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
2024 C&D winner who broke his losing run in clearcut style when he reappeared with restored cheekpieces at Kempton (2m, AW) in March; second in valuable race at Newmarket (1m6f) confirmed that he's turned a corner and must remain in serious calculations. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Thereabouts on occasions in 2025, crept down the weights and broke his losing run in clearcut style when he reappeared five weeks ago wearing restored cheekpieces in the Queen's Prize at Kempton (2m, AW); back up 4lb but showed plenty of bottle in that win and may have turned a corner. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run of 13 since his hat-trick in summer 2024; has dropped in the weights, was thereabouts on occasions in 2025 and it can be argued that today's headgear switch will help, but there's a bit for him to prove on AW (it's only his third AW race) and others have more pressing claims. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Habitual slow starter who has had major blips in two of his last three runs, but he's also won five times (1m2f-1m6f) this season including at Haydock (good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has claims if he can bounce back again with Patrick Mullins booked; tongue-tie added. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 |
1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Habitual slow starter; badly overdid it on penultimate outing (tailed off) but otherwise having a cracking season; that's despite another markedly slow start when upped to 1m6f at Haydock (good; not proven on softer) on latest outing, in which he got up by a neck in a slowly run race; raised another 3lb but it's the extra 6f which gives him far more to prove. |
16/1 |
|
2 (3) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Blew the start and was tailed off at Epsom last month; has done well over middle distances otherwise this season, completing four-timer prior to a good effort at Newbury in May; still has scope for further progress but has bit to prove after that last run and this is a new trip. |

Flat winner for Godolphin last September (1m4f; RPR 86) but well beaten in two good-quality Goodwood handicaps for new stable this year; could have a future over hurdles but is tricky to weigh up at present; visor removed after one use. |

9th 11 |
1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
1,500,000gns yearling but scored only once (1m4f; in cheekpieces) in five attempts for Charlie Appleby and was sold for 30,000gns in January; flopped in a 2m race on soft on final run for that yard and gave no immediate encouragement on yard debut in a competitive race here (2m, good) ten weeks ago, then refused to enter the stalls for a 1m4f race since; visor is added. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Cost 1,500,000gns as a yearling but scored only once (over this trip) in five attempts for Charlie Appleby and was sold for 30,000gns in January; no immediate encouragement on his stable debut but that came in a competitive race here (2m, good) a fortnight go; drops back down in distance and might do better for a yard that's won this race for the last two years. |

All three wins have been on soft going, the most recent in impressive style in the Chester Plate (2m2f, soft) in May 2023 off 1lb higher than today; absent 678 days before his encouraging fifth to Aggagio here in June, followed by a lesser show in last of three at Beverley but that was on good; very much one to note if he gets his ground. |

Returned from a long absence with fair fifth at Goodwood (2m, soft) last month and there's every chance he'll have improved for that outing; however, soft ground seems preferable so he could do with lots of rain. |

No win since 2022 but has a pretty solid record over 2m here, most recently when beaten just under 3l on penultimate start; second in the 2022 Cesarewitch over 2m2f but he came 11th in the last two renewals of this race; worse than good to soft ground looks against him. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Useful on his day; no win since 2022 but has shaped encouragingly at Chelmsford (1m6f) and Goodwood (2m) this term, staying on both times; can't be dismissed off current mark. |

Not the most consistent but won off this mark over C&D in October and ran well at Lingfield on penultimate outing; a bit below form when hooded first time 15 days ago in a small field; player if it's one of his good days. |

Saw off reopposing stablemate Enemy when successful over 2m at Kempton in October but down the field in a series final there at the beginning of December and eased off after hanging left under pressure at Newcastle last month; hard to know what to expect. |
