3rd 4 (3) |
13th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Goodwood Cup and Great Voltigeur entry; won handicap/turf debut at Doncaster (14.5f) in June and followed that with another seriously improved piece of form when second to Gregory (beat Klondike time before) in the 1m6f Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot, again on good ground; drop back to 1m5f should be fine and there's lots to like about his chance. |

2nd 10 (4) |
21st Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in April on third start and followed up on recent handicap/turf debut at Doncaster (14.5f, good); today's task is considerably tougher but he impressed last time and is an each-way possible. |
9/1 |

1st 3 (7) |
3rd Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Progressed in his three AW runs (1m, 1m2f and 1m3f) and last time it was when winning a novice race at Southwell, looking sure to stay further; more to give going into staying handicaps. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime but has yet to better fair form over hurdles, weakening into a well-held fifth on 2m2f Kelso handicap debut in this sphere 24 days ago; might have needed that after a break but he's still hard to make a good case for. |
20/1 |

5th 3 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Showed only minor promise in three novice/maiden hurdles (1m7f-2m) last September-November but was useful on the Flat in his prime and may yet transfer more of that ability to this code; wears first-time tongue-tie for handicap hurdle debut; market may guide. |
11/2 |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Very useful on the Flat in his prime but has not been firing on all cylinders this year and made a low-key stable/hurdle debut when well-held fourth over C&D (good) 16 days ago; needs to take a big step forward today. |

16th Jun 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Triple winner at up to 1m6f, all on a sound surface; stepped up on two early-season efforts when scoring at Newmarket last month; went up 3lb for that and was beaten over 8l at Hamilton (1m5f, good) latest; more needed. |
12/1 |

8th 6 (7) |
2nd Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Can front-run; surged back to form at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) two weeks ago, going on 3f out and seeing off the strong challenger Too Friendly; acts on good to soft; up 3lb but seriously considered. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
24 visits to Newcastle have yielded nine wins, seven over C&D; the latest came on New Year's Day when beating five rivals; fifth of 12 at Southwell since and could better that performance now back here, but there's a suspicion today's contest will prove too competitive. |
25/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Enhanced his outstanding Newcastle record (all nine AW wins there) on New Year's Day when fending off five rivals; only 2lb higher and he'll probably be ridden positively as usual; has only raced twice here (unplaced). |

26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Very useful Flat-racer who seemed to take pretty well to this game when second in three-runner juvenile hurdle at Doncaster (2m, good) in November; well beaten in valuable Epsom handicap on Derby day but still looks interesting on return to this sphere. |
11/2 |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Often highly tried for previous stable; with new yard since September, for which he's had three races; second of 13 when 40-1 over C&D (good) in April, which he failed to live up to at Ascot three weeks ago but that was when tried in a hood (now discarded); bit to prove on softer than good. |
18/1 |

8th 1 (12) |
11th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Often highly tried for previous stable; runner-up in both outings (hurdle/Flat) for new yard, latest at Epsom (1m4f, good) where he was no match for the winner but ran creditably; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time hood. |

15th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Improved with steps up in distance on his first three starts, 4-9 when he won a maiden at Catterick (good to firm) in May in a style which suggests he's a stayer; took a slight backward step, however, when making his handicap debut over 14.5f at Doncaster (good) and has been dropped just 1lb. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (8) |
3rd Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
His three runs were at 1m, 1m2f and 1m4f this spring and he's been improving; 4-9 when he won a maiden at Catterick (good to firm) last time, in a style which suggests he's a stayer, so further improvement should be on its way on this handicap debut. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Beat 13 rivals to win at Newbury (1m2f, good) ten days ago on his second start back from some time off; back up 4lb but he's just 1lb higher than when second in this last year and he's a solid contender. |
9/2 |
|
1st 2 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ran creditably over 1m2f on good ground on first three starts last season and back-to-form fourth of 13 at Kempton (AW) three weeks ago; thereabouts if the returning cheekpieces (worn on final start in 2024, below form) don't have an adverse effect. |
12/1 |

4th 12 (13) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Ran creditably on first three starts last season, before two lesser displays in the summer; versatile ground-wise on turf and although he's raced only twice on AW, in first half of 2024, the first of those runs was creditable; the widest draw does not help today, however. |

8 (4) |
3rd Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Placed early this year in three AW maidens (subsequently gelded) and he went down by a neck in another at Chester (1m4f, soft) three weeks ago on turf debut in first-time cheekpieces; made most and kept going in the last named, so this longer trip for handicap debut may well be within reach. |
9/1 |

2nd 2 (2) |
12th May 2023 Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
led at steady pace, pushed along and went clear 3f out, much reduced lead over 1f out, soon ridden and headed, rallied final furlong, just held |
