24th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Gained his wins in Ireland and during a spell in Bahrain; has struggled in Britain this summer and needs to derive significant benefit from this drop back in class. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won in Bahrain (1m2f, good to firm) in March; returned from break with mid-division finish in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) and he was always in rear at York (1m2f) last month; dropped 3lb and this return to Polytrack is no problem but others are more compelling. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Good seventh of 23 here in the Cambridgeshire when second home on his side; not much went right on UAE debut at Meydan (1m, good) in January but he was a solid fifth of 16 over that C&D a fortnight later and is now back down to his last winning mark; C&D winner who looks a key player. |

8st 10lb |
Won two in a row in May (1m, good; including here); merely midfield at Goodwood 34 days ago but that was his first run for three months and he may have needed it; not discounted in view of previous, progressive form. |

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. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Useful handicapper at about 1m, winning five times; did well to finish third in the Lincoln at Doncaster in sole outing this term, having come from a difficult position; each-way possibilities, provided he copes with the drop back to 7f for first time since his early days. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 18 (21) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Inconsistent last season but he ran a big race first time up when runner-up at Newmarket (1m, good) and he won at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) in August; versatile ground-wise and he might not be far away on his reappearance, for a yard that won this in 2023. |
14/1 |

19 (10) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Completed a hat-trick last August-October and returned to winning ways at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) this August; however, well beaten in the Cambridgeshire (1m1f, good to firm) and needs to leave that run well behind. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Soft-ground debut winner who comfortably landed a C&D handicap (good) last September; failed to kick on subsequently and he's narrowly bottom of this pack on form, but this lightly raced 4yo may still have more to offer and he's the only course winner in the line-up; not discounted. |
6/1 |

7th 7 (1) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Close second in his first two handicaps, then improved to win at Doncaster (1m, good) in September in dominant fashion; the latter form was not repeated when just 8-1 for the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (good to firm) two weeks later but he still came sixth, perhaps stretched by 1m1f, and may still be open to progress; not dismissed. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Down the field when 33-1 in C&D Cambridgeshire last September, before being gelded; however, he was reliable and progressive earlier last season and reappeared with a front-running 1m win here (favourite) 18 days ago; has 5lb penalty (same as his revised mark) but needs plenty of respect. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Easily made all in small field on the other Newmarket course in August on just his second handicap start; after a 10lb rise he turned in a respectable fourth of 11 at Goodwood (also 1m) a fortnight later but was down the field here in September's Cambridgeshire (1m1f, also good to firm); has been gelded and might have more to offer this term. |

1st 2 (20) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Has a progressive profile and made it three wins from eight attempts when easily making all at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) last November; subsequently gelded; a 10lb rise means he'll need another personal best but he's a low-mileage 4yo who may have more in the tank. |
12/1 |

1st 3 (9) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who returned with cracking thirds in 1m1f/1m Goodwood handicaps in August; didn't find much after moving up looking a threat at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last month but the Goodwood efforts are solid and he's given another chance. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who finished runner-up in his only previous go over C&D, but that was in 2020; exclusively campaigned over 1m these days and is on a losing run of 23, so has enough to prove. |
16/1 |

10yo whose losing sequence goes back 19 runs to 2020; ran some big races last season but seen only twice this year (both Goodwood), failing to build on comeback sixth (Linwood third) when down the field three weeks ago. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Had an AW double (one here) over about 1m last summer but his latest two outings for his new yard have been moderate; another furlong would have been preferable, even if leaving those efforts behind. |

10 (5) |
24th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Always behind in Glorious Goodwood contest on second outing for new stable and still hasn't won on turf since 2021; may be more interesting when back on AW. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won two in a row last summer (1m/8.6f, AW) and returned from two-month break to finish third of ten on yard debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in June; may be able to build on that last run and is not ruled out each-way. |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 7f/1m on good/good to firm in May and June last year; right out of form in August/September but reappearance fourth at Epsom (8.5f) nine days ago was a step back in the right direction; looks bred for 1m2f (has had one attempt) but may need a career best. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 7f/1m on good/good to firm across May and June last year; form tailed off markedly from August onwards but he returns just 2lb above his last winning mark; market support would bring him into the picture. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 7f/1m on good/good to firm earlier in the season, but nowhere near that form in his last two starts; still 4lb above his last winning mark and would also have something to prove on ground softer than good. |

11th 15 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Returns to his ideal sphere (turf) but brings a question mark over his current form, having trailed home last in both AW outings this year; possibly out of his depth to boot, having never won above Class 4. |
20/1 |

7th 4 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Last four wins have come in high summer, including two from the front last year for Jack Dace (rides Tiger Crusade), and he remains weighted to his best; didn't offer much on his comeback three weeks ago and an easy 7f is a bare minimum these days. |
