1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Made all up the stands' rail when springing a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2024; added another major handicap when dominating last year's Wokingham; failed to beat a rival in his next three starts though (including in this race) and he has been absent for 314 days; his draw gives him the chance to repeat the heroics of 2024 but this looks a tough assignment on his return. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Over two years since he last ran on the AW but that made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton; won last year's Stewards' Cup and this year's Wokingham, so clearly a tip-top handicapper when on his game; found the ground too slow in last month's big handicap at Goodwood but his run back there last time is not so easily forgiven. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Had an excuse (ground not fast enough) last time when failing by a long way to complete Stewards' Cup double; made all at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in his other two British runs this term, including the Wokingham; very useful handicapper when conditions are ideal. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
His form has dipped a touch on his last two starts but he had been flying high in the first half of the year; good chance at the weights. |

13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 6lb |
5yo front-runner who has been better than ever this year, comfortably winning a handicap at York (5f, good) in May and posting a fine fifth of 26 at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); third behind fellow British raiders Cover Up and Partisan Hero over C&D in July; behind several of these at Goodwood. |
10/1 |

11th 3 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
5yo front-runner who has been better than ever this year, comfortably winning a handicap at York (5f, good) in May and posting a fine fifth of 26 at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last month; third in Group 2 Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) recently and he could build on those last two efforts, which were on stiff tracks, now on a downhill course; respected. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Well supported and produced a strong finishing effort to win a Goodwood handicap (6f, soft) three weeks ago; earlier defeats in major handicaps at Ascot, Goodwood and York suggest today's 7lb higher mark will find him out but it was a taking performance last time. |
20/1 |

1st 7 (2) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Record at Goodwood comprises a success (off 1lb higher) in this contest last term and respectable ninth in the 2026 Stewards' Cup; major contender returned to this venue. |
7/1 |
|
11th 13 (17) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has relatively low mileage and wasn't beaten far in the Stewards' Cup three weeks ago; this looks too competitive once again though. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Not beaten far at Hamilton in August (5f, good) but only four ran there and he hasn't built on it since; will be 3lb lower from the weekend and easy enough to have reservations. |
25/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Smart on his day, as when close up in a Group 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in April 2024; showed he was sharp enough for 5f when going down in a tight finish at Hamilton (good; four ran) in August and although below that level since he'll be suited by a return to good to soft ground in this lower grade than of late; has run well in a visor and it's now refitted. |
8/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Appeared to run well when a close third at Hamilton last month but that effort is sandwiched by two lesser efforts; down in the weights but stable may have stronger claims with Democracy Dilemma. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
On a losing sequence but seemed rejuvenated by the refitting of a hood when a good third of ten in 7f Beverley handicap last month, nearest finish having had to wait for a run over 1f out; course winner who is effective over this shorter trip and a likely player off a reduced mark. |
7/1 |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Hurtling down the weights but for good reason as this multiple winner is looking very regressive. |
33/1 |

15th 17 (1) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Fully 15lb lower than when winning at Lingfield (6f, AW) last December but this 9yo has regressed in recent months; has to turn things around. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Returned from a break with a win at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May but he hasn't come up to scratch in his four outings since; back on that successful mark but many others arrive with less to prove. |
