3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned mostly over 6f but proved suited by the return to 7f last time, comfortably beating a couple of today's opponents in C&D handicap (good to firm); now 9lb higher but commands respect with further progress plausible. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Easy win in AW maiden at Kempton on his reappearance in May; saw off 21 rivals on his handicap debut at York (again 6f, good) in June and posted creditable placed efforts off 6lb higher on his next two starts; up a further 2lb but he's not fully exposed and this return to 7f (one run on debut) is firmly in range on pedigree; plenty to like. |

2nd 9 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Easy win in a 6f maiden at Kempton on his reappearance in May; made light of his opening mark when seeing off 21 rivals in a 6f handicap at York (good) in June; unable to justify favouritism in a hot Newmarket handicap last month but the ground was the fastest he has faced and he didn't look entirely at ease, doing well to take third as things panned out; that form looks strong and he remains with serious potential; of obvious interest if the going is deemed suitable. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Unimpressive strike-rate; gained sole handicap win at Meydan; placed a few times of late, including behind Thunder Call over C&D, but chance of bagging this big pot depends on the effects of headgear switch. |

3rd 6 (7) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Just two wins from his 21 starts but placed at Goodwood (7f, good to soft) and Ascot (7f, good to firm) in the second half of this year and beaten just under 2l when seventh of 16 at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last Saturday; might not be far away. |

7th 3 (12) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
His sole turf success came at Meydan (1m, good) but he ran a cracker, amid traffic issues, when third at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in July and underlined he can be very competitive from this sort of mark when second at Ascot (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Still rather weighted to the hilt but his C&D record reads 1523, the fifth-place finish in this contest 12 months ago; on the same (near-peak) mark but Toby Moore takes off a handy 7lb this time; could go well. |
14/1 |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won two feature handicaps last summer (6f/7f) but only midfield in this contest (third of 12 in the stands' side group); ran a fine race when second at Ascot (7f, good to firm) in July but he flopped in the Stewards' Cup (sent off favourite) and neither of his runs since suggest he is the answer this time; trainer won both this race and the Silver Cup last year. |

3rd 1 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won a valuable C&D handicap last summer before bolting up in the Stewards' Cup one week later; another fine course run when second of 16 in July and he was heavily supported for a Stewards' Cup repeat one week later, only to stumble leaving the stalls; wasn't far off his best over 1m here four weeks ago but this drop back to 7f still looks the right move; player. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month on first run beyond a sprint trip; only fourth of eight at Ascot (7f, good to firm) since but remains of interest in view of his penultimate effort. |
4/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
He had useful form over 6f but proved suited by the step up to 7f at Newbury three weeks ago, winning his first race for a year and looking better than ever; up 4lb but may be capable of further progress at this distance and he's firmly in calculations. |

9st 11lb |
Won here (7f, good to firm) on debut last September and went close in Group 3 Oh So Sharp Stakes here (7f, good) next time; she hasn't really kicked on this season and has been unplaced in her three handicaps (1m/7f), but has hinted this first crack at a sprint trip may help; not written off. |
10/1 |

6th 6 (1) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has been highly tried; finished sixth in the Group 3 Nell Gwyn on her reappearance before finishing down the field in the 1,000 Guineas and fading into fifth in a French Group 2 (1m, good; her best form); far from disgraced from a wide stall when seventh of 19 in valuable York handicap (good to soft) a fortnight ago; may yet do better in this sphere. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Hung sharply left but stuck on well to prevail in 3yo handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) five weeks ago, proving suited by the return to 7f for the first time this term; below par back over that C&D (good to soft, likely softer) last Saturday but he raced freely and had a possible ground excuse; could bounce back. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Hung sharply left but stuck on well to prevail in 3yo handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) four weeks ago, proving suited by the return to 7f for the first time this term and taking record to 3-11; may have further progress in him over this trip; major player. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Campaigned over shorter this term, posting a useful AW win on reappearance and not disgraced at Newmarket most recently; showed respectable 7f form as a 2yo, including a good effort in the maiden on this card and a success at Chester; still fairly unexposed over this distance; interesting. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Three C&D runs have yielded two wins and a second; pulled too hard and beaten a long way at Ascot 17 days ago but that was a Class 2 and this should be more suitable; big run expected. |
4/1 |
|
8th 10 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Two course wins feature one at 7f, but both his wins this term came in Class 4 handicaps at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm), including on his last outing 24 days ago; arrives in good heart but this is a notable step back up in grade. |
