31st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Useful 2yo, including a 1m AW win; good second in a local Group 2 in Qatar in February and followed that with a Listed second at Lingfield two weeks later (both 7f); back up to 1m for his handicap debut; unexposed but has an eight-month break to overcome. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He was making his seasonal debut when only fifth in this race 12 months ago but he's been kept on the go this winter and has been better than ever; suspicion others will prove better handicapped here though. |

3rd 5 (7) |

He has been a fine servant to connections and added wins eight and nine to his tally in 2025, the latest a 1m handicap at Kempton in November; ran as well as he ever has when second to an upwardly mobile 4yo over C&D five weeks ago but even that effort will need bettering in this field. |

3-3 on AW, two of the wins coming over C&D, and he showed what he could do on turf when a fine fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; last of 17 at the Ebor meeting but he was making some inroads when meeting traffic and eased inside the final furlong; one to consider. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |

Not disgraced in the Victoria Cup last time but, generally speaking, is perhaps still on a difficult mark on turf; gained last three wins on Newcastle AW and has shown peak form there. |

8th 24 (25) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Registered last three wins on Newcastle AW and ran respectably there on finals day; came up well short in the Spring Cup returned to turf last time and remains on a difficult mark in this sphere; sole handicap success on grass was off 13lb lower. |

Kept busy on AW during the winter, winning over 7f at Newcastle and far from disgraced in a valuable 1m event there on Good Friday; however, his turf form is at a lower level and he'll do well to regain the winning thread. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Finished close up in fifth in the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot last year (1m, good to firm); his 3yo campaign rather fizzled out but he dropped in the weights as a result and took full advantage with his 7.6f success here 24 days ago; well drawn again and a 4lb rise isn't beyond him. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Fifth over C&D (good) at this meeting last year on his first outing for Ian Williams and followed that with a very good fifth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); failed to match that level later in the campaign but his mark has dipped and dangerous if bouncing back to form after a winter break; a good draw and Billy Loughnane in the saddle are positives. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has been unable to sustain early progress and is 0-7 since debut success; ran respectably on penultimate start and is on a reduced mark but chance of doubling his tally largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |
12/1 |

10th 11 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; won debut on Southwell AW; close fourth on handicap debut there (1m) last October is markedly better than what he's done in three starts since, but he made late gains over 7f at Musselburgh on latest start to prompt some hope given today's step up in trip. |
18/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Successful 7f debut at Southwell; just a handful of starts since, showing useful form when fourth of ten on handicap debut in a warm race on Southwell AW in October only to run poorly next time; likely to come on for last week's Kempton run but now needs to show he can hack it on turf. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Most of his wins have been at 1m but he swooped late on to score over 1m3f in January and led 1f out when asserting in tidy style over 1m4f early this month, both at this track; back up another 5lb and he's a 7yo, but peak form (October 2024) was a little better still and he's now 7-12 at Kempton; on the shortlist. |
15/2 |

1st 5 (5) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Most of his wins have been at 1m but he made it 6-11 at Kempton when swooping late for a last-gasp win over 1m3f in January; up 2lb but he remains well handicapped on his best form and is strongly respected back up in trip. |
4/1 |
|
1st 9 (7) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Somewhat interesting off an attractive mark back at Kempton, being 5-10 here, but all of that course form is over 1m; has a mixed record beyond that distance so carries risk back up in trip; however, certainly holds a fighting chance provided he's in top form. |

9st 2lb |
Drawn a blank since January 2024 but he hasn't had much clemency from the handicapper; latest AW run saw him finish fourth at Newcastle in June having met trouble in running and he will be in the shake-up if anywhere near that level. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Broadly progressive, mostly at about 1m and on AW, until posting duck eggs in last two outings; may prove resurgent back down in grade, and pedigree suggests the return to 1m2f is worth a go. |
4/1 |

17th 8 (17) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Having been gelded last autumn he enjoyed a good stint on AW, winning twice (1m/8.6f); soundly beaten at Newcastle (1m, AW) last time and he needs to transfer his improvement back to turf, but he remains lightly raced for his top yard and is not discounted under Ryan Moore. |
14/1 |

11th 10 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |

He has a good record on AW, winning three times and runner-up on his other two attempts; got the better of Dosman at Wolverhampton two weeks ago but he looks held by The Lost King on their Lincoln Trial form. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Two turf wins at around 1m on good ground last summer, the second of them coming off a 1lb higher mark; not far off his best form when fourth at Lingfield early this month but he has since finished a remote 11th at Musselburgh; not a solid option. |
8/1 |
|
11th 9 (12) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Just 1lb higher than for the latest of two wins on turf last year and suggested a stiffer test might suit when beaten just over a length into fourth of 12 at Lingfield (1m, AW) nine days ago; shortlisted. |
