1st 7 (3) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Consistent across his five starts last year and won off this mark at Nottingham (1m, good) last June; reappeared with close eighth of 24 in the Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, good) and could build on that effort today; chance. |
11/2 |

8th 24 (15) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Reliable last season, going close under a positive Sam Hitchcott ride over C&D (good) in May; met some trouble at Newmarket on final start; not discounted, although he'll need a career best from his current mark. |
16/1 |

3 (10) |
26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in June and has continued in good form, finishing fifth of 16 at Goodwood (1m1f, good) last time in a race which favoured those ridden more prominently; not ruled out. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Group 3 runner-up in June 2024; nothing like the same force subsequently but some encouragement can be taken from his stable/seasonal debut in the Victoria Cup at Ascot, where he was soundly beaten overall but was first of seven in the group that raced initially on the far side; he's not ruled out. |
12/1 |
|
14th 21 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Very promising early in career for his first stable but broadly hasn't lived up to expectations and his form went markedly awry last term for a second yard; big turnaround is required on debut for his third trainer; dismissed unless the betting speaks positively. |
40/1 |
|
14th 7 (2) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Runner-up in Group 3 at Newmarket last June and very well treated on that form; watch the betting, but he was tailed off last September on his final run for Sir Michael Stoute and has struggled for his new stable this season. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
He needs to produce more than he's managed back on turf on his last two starts but prior to those he was a good second at Kempton (7f, AW) in March, and he won on grass at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last May; capable of having a say if getting back to his best. |
11/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent of late on the AW, runner-up at Kempton in October and March, but his turf efforts have been more up and down; never better than midfield in Spring Cup at Newbury two weeks ago and only 1lb lower today. |
16/1 |
|
12th 23 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Equally effective at 7f and 1m and arrives in good form from the AW; could be thereabouts again, although he finished behind several of these when only seventh in this race 12 months ago. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last August and easily justified 1-9 odds in a novice at Newcastle (1m, AW) in September; his opening mark is a lofty one but he has the potential to be better than it; respected on return. |
4/5 |

1st 1 (4) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Son of Persian King; overcame inexperience to land the odds on his debut in 1m Kempton novice 33 days ago, making up considerable ground to lead close home; he looks to have a lot more to offer and is very much the one to beat. |
1/5 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

130,000gns foal, 150,000gns yearling; closely related useful stablemate Qazaq (RPR 103) who commenced his career with AW hat-trick (7f/1m); dam 7f winner (including debut/Group 3; 110) for his yard; interesting newcomer. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
He won earlier this year on his first three starts for James Horton (7f/1m, AW); made it 0-9 on turf when 2l third of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago but that was still a positive run and he could be in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Five AW wins include this year's hat-trick on the Tapeta; raised a further 4lb for what was a narrow latest success (1m) but he's on a roll and no doubt a better horse now than when last seen on turf. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has taken his AW record to 4-7 when winning twice at Southwell (7f/1m) since joining James Horton; raised 6lb since last time but the way he moved into contention suggests there's likely even more to come for his new stable. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Third in this last year and improved form later in the season, finishing his campaign in fine form (on various ground); down the field at Ascot on recent return but he was hampered and may have needed the run; not discounted. |
10/1 |
|
18th 13 (17) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Ended last season with a win and second-place finish, enhancing his good record at Ascot; two attempts at this race comprise a creditable fourth in 2024 and narrow success last year; impossible to dismiss, despite being an 8yo who is on another new career-high mark. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 16 (4) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Came from well off the pace to win nicely over C&D a month ago, taking his form figures at Ascot to 23047131 and those were in fierce handicaps; only 3lb higher than last time and course form here is a big selling point. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
There was no return to his peak form on his recent stable and seasonal debut at Newmarket (7f, good) but it wasn't a bad performance and he could improve for that run; might not be far away; watch the betting. |
20/1 |
|
8th 1 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Absent since below-par run last August on final start for Denis Quinn (same ownership); however, this lightly raced 5yo returns after wind surgery and he won this last year (good to firm); no surprise if he has a big say. |
