9st 2lb |
2-2 (heavy/good) prior to finishing second in two Listed races last autumn (1m4f/1m2f, very soft/good to soft); reappeared with convincing Listed win at Kempton (1m2f, AW), an improved performance which bodes very well for his future prospects; acquired by Wathnan Racing since that last run; respected. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has endured an abbreviated four-race career under Callum Rodriguez but has shown smart form, ending last year with second-place finishes in Listed events at Saint-Cloud (1m4f, very soft) and Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft); no problem with the five-month absence and is half-brother to two AW winners including Global Giant, who won this race in 2021; major player. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ready winner of novices on first two starts, latterly seeing off the really smart Saddadd at Newbury (1m2f, good) on reappearance in April; lost his unbeaten record but advanced his RPR again when edged out by fellow progressive 3yo Best Secret in 1m4f Saint-Cloud Listed race (very soft) seven weeks ago; the return to 1m2f won't inconvenience this strong traveller; leading claims with further improvement likely. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Highlight last season was a very useful performance in 1m2f handicap at Doncaster, suggesting he's verging on Group class; creditable second, despite usual cheekpieces being removed, in AW Listed event at Kempton on reappearance; possibilities with the headgear back on. |
7/2 |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |

Bit of a mixed bag last year but showed some useful form, as when fourth of 11 in the Dante at York (1m2f, good to firm) in May and winning a 0-105 handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft); won on Polytrack at Chelmsford as a 2yo and very much favoured by these terms; respected. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Has gained both wins on AW and she did well to finish third, in difficult circumstances, at Kempton (1m2f Listed) on reappearance; ties in with Devil's Advocate on that bare form but isn't guaranteed to find the required further improvement back on turf. |
25/1 |

3rd 7 (3) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Unexposed mare who is 2-4 on the AW and was last seen finishing second of 13 in a Chantilly Listed contest (10.5f, soft) last July; makes her debut for her new trainer (same owner) after 260 days off but not dismissed completely if returning in the same form. |

9st 1lb |
Maiden/novice winner who improved again when fourth of ten in 1m Kempton Listed race (AW) in March; not in the same form when seventh of nine in a Listed event Goodwood (turf debut) since; not obviously well treated for this handicap debut. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
His form deteriorated last year and he went 0-9; however, he's dropped down the weights and could improve for his recent comeback in a Listed race at Kempton (fourth); this C&D winner is not ruled out. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |

Useful handicapper on his day including on AW, but unplaced in all nine starts since reappearing a year ago and would be receiving weight from all his rivals in a handicap. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
AW Listed winner for the Gosdens in November 2024 but he hasn't been near that form since a Listed second last June; second and third places early this year came in small fields and other options look more solid. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Latest win came in a Listed race over 1m4f here for the Gosdens in November 2024 but he hasn't been at his best in five starts for this yard; needs a major revival. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Ex-Gosden 5yo; something of a revival with his second and third in small fields at Lingfield (1m2f) on last two outings for current yard, the latter a Group 3; bit more to prove back in the different scenario of this handicap but, with 7lb claimer recruited, he's not entirely dismissed. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Third in this race last year off 11lb lower; competitive almost every time last season, ending on a major high with 4l win at Haydock (1m4f, good) in July; however, there have been a couple of blips and last month's poor show in Listed race at Kempton was one of those; needs to bounce back. |
7/1 |

6th 4 (6) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who won twice last year, the latest a handicap at Haydock (1m4f, good) in July; never out of the first two in five completed starts on the AW, but not seen in nine months and there has to be a doubt over the suitability of a sharp 1m2f like this for him now. |
11/2 |

5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who was progressive on AW prior to a blip at Newcastle in April, and he bounced back from that when third at York (1m4f, good to firm) in May; now 8lb better off with York runner-up Stressfree (who won next time) and he could be involved. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Disappointing in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket on final outing last season and same story in Listed race at Kempton on last month's reappearance; however, he's back down to the same mark as when winning this last year (good to firm) and can have a big say if he's back on song. |
5/1 |

7th 6 (2) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won four of his first eight starts on turf but not seen since finishing down the field in the Cambridgeshire (1m1f, good to firm) last September; also has to prove himself on the AW but remains unexposed for his age and the stable does well with its runners here. |
11/1 |

22th 2 (5) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who was highly progressive last year and this prominent-racer continued the good work when winning at York (1m2f, good to firm) in May; however, his improvement has stalled on his last two outings. |
