Performed respectably at Kempton on most recent AW attempt but was no match for Saratoga Gold and this is a higher grade; well exposed 8yo who is on a 16-race losing sequence; opposed. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Just 1lb above his last winning mark, but is 6-31 on the AW and 0-18 on turf, including six starts over hurdles; others more solid. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Made all at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in January and head second to Berkshire Sundance at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) later that month; not quite at the same level at Southwell (2m2f, Tapeta) last month but he failed to settle; Newcastle form figures read 12139 and he has an each-way shout. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 2f 98y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Kempton winner (2m Class 4; 3-1, from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; went close to following up - pipped on the post - at Lingfield (2m; 9-2) subsequently; this asks a slightly sterner question over a new distance on the Flat; likely to give another positive account. |

16th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seen more often on the AW these days and 1lb lower than when winning at Kempton (2m) in January, but showed little on his return to turf at Newmarket (1m6f, good) four weeks ago; enough to prove for now. |

23rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Second once over 1m2f on good last August but generally speaking he has been much more interesting on AW, including when runner-up once at 2m; no impact in either sphere on last five starts (given wind surgery after third) so there are major doubts to go alongside his career-low mark. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
27th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not at his best on his last four starts but took step back in right direction at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last time on first run since wind surgery, when the steady gallop was a negative; today's extra furlong is a plus and he might not be far away, having continued to drop down the weights. |
10/1 |

12th Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won two of his first three starts on Polytrack (1m/1m2f) in the winter of 2021/22; 0-13 since, but placed off higher marks three times here (1m3f/2m) in that period; returns from a second wind operation and place claims at least if rediscovering his best form. |

16th Sep 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
All the better for this headgear combination and only narrowly failed in his hat-trick bid last time when third to Zillion; essentially 1lb lower with Connor Planas taking off 3lb; shortlisted. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 (11) |
19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Turned things around in new headgear when scoring over C&D (good) last month and he followed up with another narrow win over 1m6f here last time; only 2lb higher than for that success and he remains very well treated on his old form; big player in hat-trick bid. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
7-25 on the AW, with one of the wins coming on his only Chelmsford start; creditable third of ten at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) 19 days ago and the second from that race has won since; stamina not assured over the longest he's tackled but can be very competitive from his mark. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
7-24 on the AW with six of those wins coming at Lingfield (1m2f/1m4f); no joy in three turf runs in May/June but he didn't get much luck back on AW at Wolverhampton last month; now only 1lb higher than for his C&D win in April and he's in the mix back at this track. |
15/2 |

31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
7-23 on the AW with all wins coming over 1m2f/1m4f on Polytrack, six of them at Lingfield; 0-7 on Tapeta, but runner-up on four occasions so he isn't easy to dismiss. |
16/1 |
Verdict
The 4yo BARENBOIM has thrived since joining David O’Meara and is taken to make it four wins from six starts for the yard. Two-time course winner Obsidian Knight also arrives in rude health and is feared most, ahead of Aced It.[Ben Hutton]
