20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Three of his last four wins have come at Goodwood (6f; heavy and good ground); probably not too track dependent as he won at Newbury in May but he has more to find on his first run at Ascot, off another career-high mark in a daunting race. |
16/1 |

1st 6 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Justified favouritism (6f, good) on seasonal debut, taking Goodwood record to 3-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-12; a possible danger provided his progress can be sustained away from that track. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
A three-time winner for James Owen in 2025, signing off with a second C&D success in October; has a career-high mark to overcome on his seasonal return but not taken at all lightly. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
The addition of blinkers saw him take a good step forward when comfortably seeing off 17 rivals at Newbury (6f, soft) last October; absent until Derby day three weeks ago where he was never a threat; the blinkers now return and dangerous to underestimate him. |
14/1 |
|
14th 9 (11) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 2-9 in his first season last year, winning in blinkers at Newbury (6f, soft) final outing; may improve further this term; a possible danger, provided the removal of headgear doesn't backfire. |
8/1 |
|
8 (7) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
His only win came in an AW novice but he ran well on heavy ground at Goodwood last month; latest run at Haydock (raced alone up the far side) easy to forgive; blinkers now tried. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
Can miss the break and is usually ridden from off the pace; won a Brighton handicap (5.3f) by a wide margin on Tuesday for Jude Fernandes; that made it three wins from his last four starts and he is a leading player under his penalty. |
4/6 |

1st 1 (2) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Scored on the AW in March and recorded his first win on turf over C&D (good) four weeks ago; tends to be slowly away but finishes strongly; holds strong claims to go in again off 4lb higher. |
9/4 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Sole success in 12 starts came on the AW but he has run well on various surfaces on turf; has proved inconsistent since returning in February, though, and he can miss the break. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
5f winner here; she was involved in tight finishes at Bath (extended 5f; good to soft and heavy) last October and over 5f here in May but more often than not she tends to run out of steam over this trip. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Arrives in good form, going close at Windsor before anticipating the start last time; losing run is 18, however, and never won off a mark this high. |
8/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
On a losing run but closely matched with Lequinto on their tight encounter at Windsor last time (5f, good) when she might have won but for hanging left late on; she doesn't always do that and has to be feared. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
He's failed to shine on both starts this season but is on a handy mark on last season's best form and is likely to get back on track sooner or later; today's drop back in grade could help in that regard. |
10/1 |
|
10th 10 (12) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has the ability to take a serious hand but he ran well below market expectations in this race last year and another reappearance duck egg doesn't augur well; has shown peak form in autumn months. |
22/1 |
|
11th 5 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Capable of being involved but is by no means certain to shine in this spring reappearance, having shown his best handicap form in autumn months; the market signals may offer further guidance. |

2nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Listed winner during a busy 2yo campaign but well held at that level in her first two runs of this season and fared no better back in a handicap at Royal Ascot last time when tried in blinkers; handles slow ground but now has questions to answer. |
16/1 |
|
17 (8) |
20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Busy 2yo campaign yielded three wins, notably in Listed grade at Newbury in August (5f, good); unplaced in two Listed events this spring; dropped 3lb for her troubles but the first-time blinkers need to have a positive effect. |
33/1 |
