5th May 2024 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
A well-held third in this 12 months ago after winning a Listed race at Doncaster, in which she was no match for a subsequent Group 2 winner in this year's renewal; could strip fitter for that outing and a repeat of last year's peak efforts in a Group 3 at Epsom and the Group 1 Falmouth wouldn't see her far away; dangerous to pass over. |

9st 8lb |
Close third off lower AW mark at Kempton (1m) in May and fair effort when third at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) since; two of his last three wins have come over this C&D and he's respected now back here. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |

Unraced here but a five-time turf winner over 7f at four different tracks; might well have won over 1m at Kempton (AW) last month had that race panned out more favourably; 7lb higher this time back on the grass but he can cope with this mark. |

Two 6f AW wins in the first half of the year; in good form over further more recently and not impossibly treated at present; likely he will need a good pace to come out on top back at 6f though. |

4th 3 (9) |
5th Nov 2022 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |

First two wins this year came at Lingfield (6f, AW) but proved just as effective over 7f on turf when successful at Newbury (7f, good) in June; ran well when third of 17 in first-time tongue-tie (retained) at Newmarket (7f, soft) a week ago but still 9lb above latest winning mark; may be vulnerable. |

10st 1lb |
Soundly beaten at Doncaster last month but may have needed that comeback run; fair sixth of 15 in this race last year (good) and close third of six here (6f, good to firm) next time; each-way claims if back on song. |

6th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |

Ended 2022 in good order, winning a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in good style in December; not in the same form over 7f last time; conditions shouldn't be an issue but he's high in the weights. |

Dual course winner over shorter, including over 6f last time; has won over this far on turf, but a high draw and 6lb higher mark may be enough to prevent a follow-up. |

9st 8lb |
Down the field at Southwell (1m) last time when back in a handicap, but didn't run badly after a slow start and she won on the Tapeta there (1m) in April; Newmarket trainer does well here and she's not ruled out. |
10/1 |

13th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Takes a drop back in grade, following Listed defeats on turf the last twice; sole attempt on AW resulted in C&D win (off 3lb lower) on stable/seasonal debut; interesting back here, being unexposed on the surface. |
11/1 |
|
12th 4 (10) |
12th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |

Three-time turf winner who scored in a first-time hood (retained since) on stable debut in a Class 4 handicap at Southwell (1m, AW) in April; ran well on form but underlined she has something to find at Listed level when sixth (Purplepay third) at Pontefract last month. |

8st 7lb |
Nine wins on AW; scored at Bath on penultimate outing but is only 2-23 on turf and latest effort confirms that marks in the 80s are probably beyond him, at least nowadays, in this sphere. |
11/2 |

3rd 1 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered. |

Nine-time AW winner who won three in a row during the winter and was a creditable fifth in Class 3 at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) two weeks ago; record of 1-21 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he had a close call at Windsor last autumn; dangerous. |

On the same mark as when running away with a 7f handicap at Southwell in August 2022; rarely seen since and he was well beaten at Chelmsford on last month's return from 13 months off; could take benefit from that run and this should be a better guide as to how much ability remains. |

Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |
