15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Did well to win at York (good to firm) off just 1lb lower in August but only fourth of five in the Great Metropolitan at Epsom (also 1m4f, good, Topteam behind) 17 days ago; that was a shade underwhelming given he'd won the race in 2025 but was a little weak in the market so maybe better can be expected this time. |

9st 4lb |
Last year's winner (good) who ran well in two other appearances over C&D; did well to win at York (1m4f, good to firm) under John Egan in August and arrives here fit after three creditable efforts at Meydan; firm contender. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins from 11 starts; successful on comeback at Kempton (1m4f, AW; made all) in April and again ran well when second at Newmarket (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; should be in the thick of things once more. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 (2) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Normally reliable and gritty performer, as evidenced by his comeback win at Kempton (AW; made all) in April, so his major flop at Epsom (again 1m4f, good) came as quite the surprise three weeks later; maybe that track didn't suit and his previous body of work means he can easily be given another chance. |
4/1 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Really likeable sort who scored three times on good ground (1m2f/1m4f) last term, twice coming out on top in tight finishes; gelded before again showing a fine attitude to pick up Kempton handicap (1m4f, AW) on his reappearance three weeks ago; likely won't go down without a fight for his ever-growing fan club. |

3rd 8 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Made good progress handicapping for this yard from August onwards, scoring at Southwell (1m6f) then easily defying a penalty at Lingfield (2m, also AW) ten days later; fine effort when fourth in the Old Rowley Cup over C&D (good) in October and had soft-ground excuse on final start of the term; not fully exposed and he's respected on this return. |
5/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Eight races; won by 10l at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in August and by 5l without any problems at Lingfield (2m, AW) ten days later; second of six to Blazeon Fine at Ascot (2m, good to soft) and another good effort at Newmarket (good) one week later considering it was a hot race over 1m4f; not proven on soft but back up in trip and may still have improvement in him. |

1st 6 (4) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Novice win came here; signed off for the Gosdens with two poor runs but his reappearance run at Newmarket 12 days ago, following a gelding operation, was promising and strongly suggested that the new trip of 1m4f is what he wants; Billy Loughnane, who is 1-2 for the yard, takes over. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Form tailed off sharply for the Gosdens but previously looked promising, a novice win at Kempton (AW) in April preceding good handicap debut fourth in valuable London Gold Cup at Newbury (also 1m2f, good to firm) in May; didn't run at two and has been gelded, so not one to dismiss on this return for new yard. |
10/1 |
|
14th 11 (3) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Headstrong and well beaten in the Golden Gates at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces (retained); however, he was trapped wide and before that he was a good fourth off this mark in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm), which was strong form; not written off. |

5th 6 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Exposed 8yo but he's still capable of useful form and scored at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last March; also won over 1m6f on the July course (good to firm; first-time blinkers) in August; returns on a stiff-enough mark with no headgear but they might go a solid gallop which can help. |
14/1 |

1st Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Recently won on the Flat in first-time blinkers and then ran respectably in a valuable handicap at Doncaster; returns to hurdling in fair form and he's on a handy mark. |
7/2 |

6th 9 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
53 races already (17 over hurdles) and six wins before he made his first appearance over 1m6f three weeks ago, winning it in good style in first-time blinkers at Newmarket (good to firm; acts on soft); only five ran in that race and he's gone back up 5lb but it could be argued that he's not fully exposed either in blinkers or at this sort of trip. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Can lead; chased home two good ones on his debut at Newbury last April but he hasn't built on that and become expensive to follow; did win three-runner maiden at Lingfield (1m4f) in November but his latest second of six at Southwell (1m3f, also AW) was another reversal for supporters; form chance off same mark but tempting to look elsewhere. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Off the mark at the sixth attempt when beating two rivals in good style in a maiden at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in November but he dropped away up the straight having taken a grip in a handicap at Kempton on his return 17 days ago; needs to build on that. |
3/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Well connected; didn't always do himself justice as a 3yo but he was a tough opponent for a good rival (now on a mark of 101) over 1m3f at Yarmouth last May and made a good visual impression when overwhelming two rivals on Lingfield AW in November; interesting on handicap debut. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won first two starts for this yard (1m2f/1m4f) last September; had a tough first handicap assignment and he may have found it all a bit much; sent off favourite for return at Newmarket 12 days ago and was bang there over 2f out before weakening (finished behind Ernst Blofeld); dropped 3lb and reunited with Rossa Ryan; looks set to leave that run behind. |
9/1 |
|
7th 1 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Promising third on last May's debut for Andrew Oliver then won first two starts for this yard, novices at Goodwood (1m2f, heavy) and Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in September; slightly underwhelmed with midfield finish in November handicap (1m4f, heavy) next time but retains bundles of potential ahead of this reappearance. |
5/1 |

1 (8) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Finished third of ten behind Scandinavia on his Navan debut (1m2f, good) in May and made a successful debut for this yard at Goodwood (1m2f, heavy; 10-11) three weeks ago; half-brother to a couple of AW winners and strong claims under his penalty. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Steady improver on AW who won his third race in that sphere when making all at Wolverhampton in April; bit below that under a penalty when third on his turf debut at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) but that came just six days later; five-week break should have recharged his batteries and pedigree points to grass being no problem. |
4/1 |
|
9 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Consistent 4yo who twice made all over 1m4f on Wolverhampton AW once the visor was enlisted; respectable third of five on turf debut at Thirsk (1m4f, good; hung left) three weeks ago but this race should be a lot harder. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Consistent 4yo who has really raised his game since the blinkers went on, twice making all over 1m4f at Wolverhampton; it was never in doubt there last weekend and he's 3lb well in under a penalty; unraced on turf. |
