28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Listed win in Germany in October 2024 and went close at Sandown and Newbury last term; however, after a disappointing October he made it 0-10 for the season and this is a tough race in which to try to break his British duck. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Smart on the continent, including on testing ground; 0-9 for Jamie Osborne but he has run some good races, including a near miss over C&D last month; not so good at Ascot since but returning to Class 3 will be in his favour. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Smart on the continent; some notable form in eight defeats for this yard, last time going down narrowly in a Class 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft; second-time cheekpieces); however, he was behind four of these here the time before. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
A two-time winner (at up to 1m) in Meydan last winter and not discredited with seventh of 12 in the Godolphin Mile there in March; this demands more though and his yard runs three, including Meydaan. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Well suited by slow ground; attractively handicapped and his last two runs have both been promising, meeting trouble before finishing off strongly at Newcastle last month; high on the list. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |

1lb lower than for his Doncaster win 12 months ago (7f, soft); several creditable runs in handicaps this season but he will need to pull out a bit more if he's to come out on top. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Good fourth in the Group 3 Commonwealth Cup Trial here (6f, good to firm) in April 2025 but his subsequent stand-out performances, including a commanding win at Haydock (7f) two starts ago, have come on soft ground; given today's forecast conditions it may prove best to look elsewhere. |
40/1 |

1st 1 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Only 2-19 but well handicapped on his soft-ground form and back on a slower surface (good to soft) at Newbury three months ago (7f) he beat all bar last week's impressive Goodwood winner Forty Years On; should have every chance if fit enough to do himself justice. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 3 (11) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on final two runs last year (1m, AW) and same story on his three outings this spring (6f, AW/good/good to firm); arrives with something to prove but he's 5lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (soft) last October and the return to slow ground could facilitate a major revival. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time winner, who acts on good to firm and good to soft; 0-9 since his AW win last December, but he's run plenty of good races this season including when fourth at Newbury (7f) last time; continues to edge down the weights and he shouldn't be far away. |

4th 8 (8) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
0-8 this season but he's been bubbling under, and he'd have gone close to winning at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday but for being badly hampered inside the final 1f; dangerous if he's fully recovered from that. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |

Mixed form this season but last two efforts creditable and the way his challenge petered out late on over 1m at Ascot a fortnight ago suggests this return to 7f could prove ideal. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Comfortably took advantage of a reduced mark at Haydock but went back up 8lb for that win and was unable to follow up at Yarmouth (kept to 6f) later in September; returns to 7f still weighted to the hilt. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Showed career-best form when dropped back to 6f at Haydock (heavy) a fortnight ago, winning comfortably by 3l; evidently in rude health but is 8lb higher here and might not be seen to quite the same effect on the forecast less-testing ground. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (14) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Goes very well here and scored over C&D last May; off nine months, yet to hit form in a pair of 7f handicaps at Doncaster and Newmarket this summer but no surprise to see him take a sizeable step forward back here off a reduced mark, especially if the market vibes are positive. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 on the AW, but has gone very close on Tapeta on three occasions; 2lb lower than when beaten a head in a 0-110 contest over C&D in August and if able to reproduce that sort of form he would have a good chance. |
7/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his lengthy losing run when winning a 7f handicap at Haydock in July; similar form on a couple of occasions since and he ran creditably in a hot 6f handicap at York two weeks ago; one to consider back down into Class 3 company. |
9/1 |

17 (11) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Not the force of old (won the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2022) but he ended a long losing run at Haydock (7f, good) in July and went down only narrowly at Newcastle in August; however, he should have fared better at Ascot last time and he's been unplaced on both his previous outings at York. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Won a 1m Chelmsford novice (11-10 favourite) for Oliver Cole last December; joined this trainer in July for 3,000gns, and his fifth of nine to Gambino at Cartmel (2m1f, good, beaten over 15l) offered a starting point over hurdles. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
1-12 on the Flat for the Cole stable, the win gained on Polytrack (1m, RPR 79) in December; absent since running as though something was amiss in May and has stamina to prove on stable/hurdle debut but at least we know he has significant ability; the market may guide. |
8/1 |

11th 3 (3) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Got off the mark in a Chelmsford novice (1m, AW) in December; has excuses for his last two defeats as he pulled too hard at Newcastle in February and missed the break at Kempton last time; tongue-tie returns to combine with blinkers and not out of this if things pan out for him. |

Runner-up in 5f Listed race at this meeting as a 2yo; some good efforts in handicaps for this yard, just losing out at Windsor in May and finishing close up there in August when returning from a break (both on good to firm; has run respectably on soft); has more to prove this time. |

Sole win in a Beverley maiden over two years ago but he only just failed to gain a first handicap win when touched off by Justcallmepete over C&D (good to firm) in May; some way below that level in Diligently's race here the following month, though, and others are higher up the list. |

Two course wins feature one at 7f, but both his wins this term came in Class 4 handicaps at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm), including on his last outing 24 days ago; arrives in good heart but this is a notable step back up in grade. |

C&D winner on good off 3lb higher last summer; got his head back in front at Goodwood (7f, soft) off 2lb higher in May; unable to reproduce that form since (not helped by missing the break on occasions) but has obvious handicapping scope. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Completely blew the start on his penultimate outing and last time can be excused when tackling a Class 2; now back on the same mark that he narrowly prevailed from at Goodwood (7f, soft) in June and he's effective at 6f; could go well. |

Finished well to exploit reduced mark at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in July; best run since when third of 14 over 1m1f at Newmarket (good) under Patrick Millman 13 days ago, catching the eye a bit with his late headway from the rear; back down 2f in trip now. |

Career-low mark when he finished strongest for a Doncaster win (1m2f, good to firm) in August; probably unlucky not to follow up at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) 12 days ago, as he had to be switched over 1f out and ran on well to lose out by half a length; now 6lb higher than at Doncaster but this resurgent 4yo looks set to go well again. |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Unable to land much of a blow in big-field sprints on last three starts but had previously finished second over 7f at Cork (good) and was perhaps unlucky that day; 4lb lower now, and that's without taking into account Reese Holohan's claim; tempting. |

Successful on second start for current yard when taking premier Habitat Handicap over C&D in May; bit underwhelming both starts since here, never counting after an awkward start in Scurry Handicap and not pace to challenge back to 5f behind Rosie Frith last month. |
