3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
As reliable as they come on AW, winning five of his 16 starts in this sphere and second or third on a further nine occasions; has a rare handicap run today but he looks held by Chancellor on their Southwell clash in February (3lb better off for a length but the winner had a bit to spare). |

Two Listed wins at Lingfield, including this race 12 months ago; may have needed the run when 3l behind Chancellor at Kempton in December and went desperately close over 1m2f later that month; shouldn't be too far away once more. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has improved his rating almost every time, on last two outings taking second in strong 1m handicaps at Newcastle (AW) and Thirsk (good to firm); came from almost last when closing to half a length in 13-runner race last time and looks well capable of a prominent finish here despite 2lb rise. |

2nd 3 (11) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
7f course winner on good to firm last summer and has done little but progress since, winning over 1m at Southwell on New Year's Day; excellent second of 14 at Newcastle (1m again) since, with reopposing Flight Plan and Apiarist in behind; should continue the good work back on turf; top of the list. |

2nd 5 (13) |

The winner of four of his eight starts and he had a bit to spare when rewarding odds-on favourite backers at Southwell on New Year's Day; unlikely this mark will prove beyond him in time; solid candidate. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive over 7f-8.6f on AW this year, on last two starts winning the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton and close third at the AW Championships at Newcastle; turf mark has been raised in tandem, which leaves him with marked improvement to find in this sphere, but he needs a second look. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 8 (10) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
The form of his Kempton win (7f) in January could hardly have worked out better and he raised his game again to win the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; still not fully exposed and he is a leading contender up 5lb. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 (11) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who returned from a 202-day break (gelded during the absence) to win a 7f handicap at Kempton in January, finishing off strongly (form worked out extremely well); only second over 1m last time but the tactical nature of that race may not have suited; still looks on a dangerous mark and he's one of two strong contenders for Andrew Balding. |

9st 11lb |
Only 2-16 but his third trainer has him in career-best form and didn't get the breaks when a closing fourth at Newcastle last time (1m); hold-up performer who needs a good pace to chase and if getting one he'll be dangerous. |
4/1 |
|
4th 12 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |

Coaxed back to form by his new trainer, twice placed over C&D before winning at Southwell in February; good second behind First Principle two weeks ago; another 2lb rise tempers enthusiasm slightly. |

2nd 5 (5) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Resurgent for new yard this year, looking unlucky at Newcastle on penultimate start and handing a 2l beating to runner-up Zryan at Southwell (again 1m, Tapeta) on latest; back up another 4lb but the best of his old form was a little better still and he has to be on the shortlist. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Has taken his form to a new level, notably with a 1m Listed success, since switched to artificial surfaces; ran creditably in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on finals day at Newcastle most recently; the query is whether his very useful AW form can be transferred back to turf. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He has improved for gelding/wind operations, winning a 7f handicap at Kempton and a 1m Listed event at Southwell this winter; narrowly denied in the Winter Derby six weeks ago (not a vintage renewal); the demands of this race should be more suitable and he still has Pattern-race aspirations; he'll need to be a Group horse to give the weight away all round but he is an each-way contender at the very least; cheekpieces now added. |

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. |

Seven wins include three on good to soft/soft; also won on AW at Kempton (1m) in February but only midfield in valuable events at Newcastle (AW) and Ascot (good) on his last two starts; however, latter effort was better than it looks having been poorly drawn. |

9st 3lb |
Failed to build on a decent fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) in February when behind Blue Rc at Newcastle (1m) on Good Friday but the fact he made all in this race off 8lb lower last year means a revival can't be discounted, particularly as he's well drawn to attack again; tongue-tied first time. |

His only turf wins came in a Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, but they were in 2023 and he needs the cards to drop right for his late bids; scored on AW in January but subsequent form, including when 40-1 in the Victoria Cup last Saturday, isn't good enough. |

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. |

Low-mileage 4yo who is 2-5, all at about 1m on AW/turf, this year for new stable; prevailed at Epsom (good) returned to this sphere most recently, despite taking a good hold; may settle better and show further progress in this big-field scenario over a stiff 7f; not ruled out. |

All starts on AW for this yard and he justified cramped odds when easily landing four-runner Chelmsford maiden (1m) in February; promising handicap debut when second over that C&D the following month and can be excused a lesser effort in highly competitive Good Friday event three weeks later; unexposed, particularly on this surface, and he warrants consideration. |
