22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
4yo with just five races under his belt but he has 2m Group 1 entry for Ascot in October; won handicap debut at Hamilton (1m5f, good) in May and firmly in charge from over 1f out in 12-runner race at Ayr (1m5f, soft; always prominent) in June; up another 6lb today, inexperienced and drawn almost widest of all, but he strides out as if 1m6f will suit him well and has significantly more to give. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won 1m4f AW maiden in December on second start then finished second to Constitution Hill at Southwell (1m4f, AW), before winning on handicap debut at Hamilton (1m5f, good) last month; showed promise on good to soft on debut; this unexposed 4yo could have more left in the tank; major player. |

160,000euros yearling; his debut third in a 1m2f Doncaster maiden last March (good to soft) worked out exceptionally well and he then won easily at Dundalk in December (1m4f; odds-on; had been gelded), at the expense of a Listed-placed rival; could be on a useful mark for handicap debut and when second to Constitution Hill at Southwell (1m4f novice) he was giving the winner 5lb. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 208y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Campaigned mainly over further and has done most of his winning on AW; form has dipped of late and his losing run continues to mount up; wears new headgear. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Six of his seven wins have been on AW; may just have needed the run after a break when fifth at Ayr on Thursday (1m5f, soft) and has an each-way chance. |

8st 11lb |
Went close to snapping long losing run in Queen Mother's Cup at York (1m4f, good) in June; a danger to all if in that form but three lesser runs have followed. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Missed 2025; has mostly been coming from well off the pace this term and that yielded a win at Thirsk (2m, good) in May and he ended up on the heels of the leaders in a Shergar Cup race at Ascot (2m, good to firm) when next seen 11 days ago; 5lb claimer takes over in what looks a tougher race. |
12/1 |

3rd 6 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |

A winner off this mark on the AW just over two years ago when trained by David Simcock; returned from a long absence in the spring and back to his best best when coming from a long way off the pace to win well at Thirsk (2m, good) 69 days ago; back from a break with his yard going well; considered off 4lb higher. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Gained a deserved first success of the season in three-runner handicap over C&D (good to firm; from Almuhit) last month and got up close home in nine-runner race at Kempton (2m, AW) ten days ago; up 3lb to career-high mark but he's on a roll. |

Gained a deserved first success of the season in three-runner handicap at Newbury (2m) 15 days ago; up 3lb but he remains quite low mileage so needs considering. |

1st 3 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Has been a bit up and down since returning from a mammoth absence in April, but his second of five at Catterick (1m6f, good to soft) 12 days ago was handsomly franked by the winner at Newmarket on Saturday; has won over this far and a major player. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Well beaten in 2018 in his only AW race; peak Flat form came with big-race placings over 2m4f in summer 2021; there's been a four-year absence since and his 2m win at Beverley (2lb higher today) this April showed that stacks of his ability remains, form which was backed up at Thirsk on latest start but this contest demands more; cheekpieces (absent this term) return. |
50/1 |

4th 1 (12) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Smart staying handicapper for Mick and David Easterby in 2021 when competitive at some of the top meetings; only his second run since when winning over 2m at Beverley (good to soft; 2lb higher today) in April, while 1m5f helps to explain his last of five at Hamilton four weeks ago; not dismissed. |
16/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Smart staying handicapper on the Flat for Mick and David Easterby in 2021 when competitive at some of the major meetings; having only his second run since that year when winning well over 2m at Beverley last month (good to soft); still useful, clearly, and has only gone up 2lb. |
