25th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
One of the top juvenile hurdlers last season and he justified warm favouritism when returned to the Flat for the Chester Cup (2m2f) in May; respectable efforts off 8lb higher when sixth of 20 in the Ascot Stakes and Northumberland Plate in June; freshened up since; needs improvement to win at this level. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
One of the top juvenile hurdlers last season and he justified warm favouritism when returned to the Flat for the Chester Cup (2m2f) in May; sixth off this 8lb higher mark at Royal Ascot (2m4f) was right up with that form and he's a player if this AW surface (sole race on one was as 2yo, finished last) proves suitable. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
One of the top juvenile hurdlers last season and he justified warm favouritism when returned to the Flat in 15-runner Chester Cup (2m2f, good) over five weeks ago, never far away before strength of stamina took him to the front inside the final 1f; below-form outsider last April/June on his only two starts on good to firm (one at this meeting); up 8lb since Chester but may well be capable of another advance if the ground is okay. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Versatile 5yo whose latest win was a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last November (2m5f, soft); hasn't been at his best on the Flat this year (2m-2m4f) although not beaten far in the Shergar Cup last time; not sure drop in trip will suit. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Useful 1m4f performer and pretty good on his day over hurdles; however, hasn't found his best form this season at 2m/2m4f and has yet to convince as a stayer in this discipline; tried a visor last time at Royal Ascot and cheekpieces return. |

14th 5 (2) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
1m4f winner from the front off this mark at Newmarket last May who also scored with a prominent ride over hurdles at Cheltenham (2m5f) in November; has a bit to prove over 2m on Flat, including having been always behind on both starts this year; now tries a visor (often wears cheekpieces) and maybe there will be a change of tactics. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Really smart handicapper who won the valuable 1m6f event at the July meeting here in 2021 and 2023; even better form when third of 22 to Absurde in the 2023 Ebor at York (1m6f, good to firm); not seen since finishing a respectable fifth in German Group 1 in September of that year but has gone well after a long absence before; a threat to all if retaining his old ability. |

3rd 1 (15) |
26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
609 days off before this season but placed efforts (1m4f on good to firm) at Haydock and Royal Ascot were up with his previous form; his last five starts in 2021 were over 1m6f-2m2f and he took his form to a new level when returned to 1m6f at Newmarket (good) six weeks ago, winning in tidy style; up 5lb and this race is much more competitive but he needs respect. |

14th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
609 days off before this season but he's run very well to be placed at Haydock and Royal Ascot 13 days later, both at 1m4f on good to firm; cheekpieces returned in the latter; made most that day and his last five starts in 2021 were over 1m6f-2m2f, including a win in this race; has a 10lb higher mark two years on but looks set to run well. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Never involved when defending his crown in the Northumberland Plate but two of his three previous runs this season had been creditable; only 1lb higher than for his last win at Chester (September) and he was a close fourth in this two years ago; would have been tempting but for concerns about him these days on fast ground (only fifth last year on good to firm). |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Beat Dancing In Paris by a neck to win this race last year off 6lb lower; also won at Chester in September and two of his three starts this term have been creditable, so he's in the each-way picture. |

10th 5 (10) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
One of three for the yard; won the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m, AW) last June and has a 4-7 record at Chester, although his two performances in this race were muted (from double-figure draws); reappearance six weeks ago matched his best 2025 form but a bit extra will be needed. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Suited by step up to 2m when Listed winner on final start last term and she's played creditable supporting roles in Group events this term; best form when 11l fifth at 80-1 behind Scandinavia and Trawlerman in the 2m4f Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last time; needs to find extra and headgear is given a go. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Suited by step up to 2m when winning a Listed event at Newmarket (good) on final start last term; 40-1 and perhaps in need of the race when she ran out of steam behind Sweet William and Caballo De Mar here (2m; beaten 8l) on reappearance, and staying-on second at York (1m6f) next time was better, but there is nothing in her form which suggests she is up to today's task. |
100/1 |

2nd 4 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Upwardly mobile 5yo who seemed suited by the step up to 2m when winning Listed race at Newmarket (good) last autumn; ran creditably against male rivals when 8l third of eight in Group 3 Sagaro at Ascot on return; today's drop back in distance isn't an obvious positive but she may have more in the tank and should give a good account of herself. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Bought for 165,000euros in July last year having won twice in France, the second a 1m2f Listed event at Saint-Cloud; well below par on both starts for new yard last year (reportedly finished lame on second occasion); returns after a 330-day break with a hood tried; bit to prove. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won 1m4f Listed race and third in 1m7f Group 2 (both soft) in France last autumn but seen only twice this year, latterly trailing throughout in the Park Hill at Doncaster on her recent yard debut; no surprise were this good yard to find the key to her before long but she needs to have come on a lot in a short time. |
16/1 |

11th 6 (11) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Acts on soft; her second French win last term came in a 1m4f Listed race and best form when third to very smart stayer Illinois in 1m7f Longchamp Group 2 that October; seen only once this term, however, when well beaten in March, and she was sold for 165,000euros at the start of July; serious each-way claims if back to her best on debut for new connections. |
