6th 2 (4) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has been smart in his time; his efforts since returning from an absence suggest he's not the force of old but he's edged down to a mark he can be competitive from; first-time cheekpieces are reached for by last year's winning stable. |

4th 1 (3) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Has been smart in his time and is now 10lb lower than when winning the 2023 Cambridgeshire; returned after a long absence in May, but he's been working his way back to form and was only beaten around 2l when fifth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last time; looks worth another try at this trip and he's in the mix back on turf. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Has been smart in his time and is now 10lb lower than when winning the 2023 Cambridgeshire; record on the AW as a 3yo read 121, but a leap of faith is required based on his two efforts since returning from a long absence (and wind surgery). |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Top handicap form when nosed out in the John Smith's Cup over C&D and again when scoring at the Ebor meeting and picking up the Cambridgeshire in 2023; 0-7 since and he beat one home on his return from a hefty absence/wind surgery at Newmarket in May; should build on that comeback but may need another run or two before becoming of interest. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Excelled in top handicaps at York and Newmarket in 2023, including with a C&D win in the Cambridgeshire (good to firm; 3lb lower today); however, he only once threatened to hit those heights in 2024 and, after wind surgery, missed all of 2025; that leaves him with a 658-day absence to overcome but his handicap mark has been slashed. |
