Had wind surgery prior to an impressive performance over C&D on Good Friday; struggled in a Newbury handicap six weeks ago; stable sent out the winner of this race in 2022, 2023 and 2024; work to do at this level. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Smart form in 2024, including over C&D; only ran once in 2025 and he has finished out of the places in all three starts this year but that doesn't tell the whole story as he made some striking late headway into sixth over C&D in January; he has undergone wind surgery since last seen and now sports a tongue tie; looks on a dangerous mark and could be a major player if he can avoid forfeiting too much ground at the start. |

4th 6 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Completed an AW hat-trick when scoring on his handicap debut at Newcastle (6f) last April; held in six subsequent runs but he went close off this mark at Southwell in November and was a creditable third at Newcastle three weeks ago; now returns to turf but he ran well in a fast-ground Listed event last spring and he's still unexposed in this sphere; in the mix. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
He was completing a hat-trick when landing the 3yo sprint on this card 12 months ago, a race where he enjoyed a clear run while several in behind met trouble; he hasn't looked ahead of the handicapper in three runs this winter but likely this has been the main target and he has been gelded since his latest run. |

20/1 |

21th 8 (19) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Took a step forward on the AW earlier in the year, at 7f and 6f, but he didn't make his turf debut until never involved in a Listed race at Haydock (7f, good) in May; comes from a line of superb turf sprinters but this is a difficult first handicap on grass, to put it mildly. |
66/1 |
|
7th 4 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
In good form on the AW this year, winning a handicap at Lingfield (7f) in February and running creditably when fourth in similar event at Newcastle (6f) on Good Friday; has shown he's up to Listed level but this is still a warm race in which to be making his debut on grass. |

Unraced on turf this year and his best form has come on AW; however, he has a lower mark on grass and was third in a Listed race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last August; capable of playing a leading role. |

Four wins at 6f for previous yard but he was far from disgraced when seventh of 28 in 7f Victoria Cup here (good; first-time cheekpieces) in May; drawn on the wrong side when he finished last at the Royal meeting but he's dropped to a handy mark and shouldn't be discounted on this return to 6f. |

28th 26 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Four-time 6f winner who ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) in the Victoria Cup over C&D most recently, albeit taking record for current yard to 0-5 and failing to improve for a return to 7f. |

Campaigned mostly over 6f, winning four times for previous yard; 2-5 on grass; mixed results on AW for new stable; ran respectably in sole 7f attempt but chance of landing this hot handicap partly depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |

Heavily backed when winning a 6f handicap at Southwell on New Year's Day; ran well over C&D a fortnight later but short of his best twice since, including after wind surgery when eighth of 22 at York last month; returning to AW can help and seems highly likely to run his race. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Produced an uncharacteristic below-par run at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month but he's had wind surgery since and was progressive on AW in the winter; twice finished close-up in big-field handicaps over this C&D (good/good to firm) last summer and there's every chance he will be bang there. |
10/1 |

Rewarded strong market support in game fashion at Southwell on New Year's Day (6f); another solid effort when second of 14 over C&D two weeks later; 2lb higher today but there is a fair chance he hasn't reached his ceiling after just 12 starts. |

Close third in Listed company at Wolverhampton last month on his first attempt at 7f and he wasn't beaten for a lack of stamina; not at his best in a hot sprint handicap at Newcastle on Good Friday; no surprise to see him bounce back with a big run. |

Did well in early 2025 on AW, winning a C&D handicap in good style and following up in Listed company at Lingfield; finished third in the corresponding race 12 months ago when rated 5lb higher; running himself back into form this winter, most recently a close third over 7f four weeks ago, and he looks primed to give Clifford Lee a winning return to the saddle. |

Unexposed and progressive handicapper who has two wins and two seconds to his name from four AW appearances; lost little in defeat at Kempton 16 days ago when chasing home a smart rival who was winning the race for the fourth time; a stiff 6f should be fine but stall 1 might not be beneficial given the forecast of a brisk crosswind; stable also runs Ferrous. |
