10st 2lb |
Made it 11th time lucky when seeing off three rivals at Lingfield (7.5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but the majority of those starts have been over 1m2f+ so he is unexposed over this sort of trip; Oisin Murphy also has a very good record for the stable. |

0-10 although he did 'win' at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm; demoted for interference) last August; best run since when second to Classic Encounter at Redcar (1m, good to firm; first-time visor) when last seen in May; gets a weights pull and a form case can be made. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Maiden and novice winner who is yet to win a handicap but he finished a creditable third at Newbury (7f) last month and ran to a similar level when runner-up here (7.6f, good to firm) last time; should go well again off the same mark and he's still unexposed on AW. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden and novice winner who is yet to win a handicap but last time's third of 14 at Newbury (7f, good to firm; fourth has won since) was his best run of this term; far from ruled out off a career-low mark. |

9st 11lb |
Gained a third win when beating Desert Shadow at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in May and he went down narrowly over that C&D (good; third has won since) four weeks ago; leading claims from an unchanged mark. |

10st 0lb |
Respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Newbury (1m, good to firm) this month and the return here makes him especially interesting given he is 2-2 over C&D; drying ground a positive. |

9st 13lb |
Took full advantage of the drop into Class 4 company when readily seeing off five rivals at Redcar last week (1m, good to firm); penalised in a deeper race but he still commands serious respect. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won two in a row last May (1m, good) and is 7lb below his last winning mark; however, hasn't produced an effort of note since returning to Britain after a stint at Meydan. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Course winner who won two in a row last May (1m, good) and is 4lb below his last winning mark; showed some spark at Meydan in January but hasn't shone in Britain on his two runs since and needs to turn things around. |
20/1 |

4th 2 (3) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Two 1m good-ground wins last spring include a defeat of Classic Encounter at Newmarket; creditable fifth of 16 at Meydan in January and although his return to these shores didn't go well when tailed off at Newmarket (raced too freely) in April, he's dipped below his last winning mark; considered. |
