30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Globetrotting gelding whose last win came in Qatar (6f, good) in February 2025 when Washington Heights was second; has run respectably on his two outings this season, fourth in French Group 3 (5f, soft) on latest; should be thereabouts under optimum conditions. |
11/2 |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Has shown very useful form on home soil and internationally, including a success in Qatar and close second in US Grade 2 this year; below par last time and faces a stiffer assignment on this return to British racing; gained last domestic win in 2023. |
40/1 |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Acts on good to firm and good to soft; generally progressive 2023 campaign culminated in close fifth in the Group 1 Abbaye at Longchamp; best effort this term when second to Starlust at York last time; may resume his improvement with hood now reapplied (3-5 in this headgear); interesting. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
He wasn't disgraced in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot but Hamilton last time was a backward step; goes without headgear today and stable may hold stronger claims with Seven Questions. |

19th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |

Returned to Britain off a lofty mark having done well in Bahrain this winter; struggled initially but he didn't run badly when seventh of 25 in the Wokingham last month; wouldn't want much more rain. |
9/1 |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Close second in Listed Windsor Castle here as 2yo but well held in the big 5f handicap here last June and his 6f Bahrain win at Christmas didn't go far enough to convince that he's right for this race; others in better form, too, with first-time cheekpieces (retained) no help last time. |

9st 9lb |
Drawn a blank this year but he has dropped a long way in the weights and is now eligible for Class 6 company for the first time; ran okay over C&D last month and the return of cheekpieces will help; considered. |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
He's having a mixed season and hasn't looked ready to pounce since a good Ripon run (5f) in July; needs a turnaround but he wasn't far away on his latest C&D start in March and is on a much lower mark now. |

On a losing run and he has yet to win over this trip; sent off favourite for the corresponding race 12 months ago but faded into tenth; 6lb lower this time around and he has finished second in two of his last four starts; vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

18th Oct 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Defied higher marks twice on home soil in 2021 and won in Bahrain last December; 0-12 this year but posted encouraging efforts the last twice, latest when 1l second at York (soft) last Friday; could well go one better. |
5/2 |

2nd 9 (14) |
13th Oct 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Hasn't won in Britain since 2021 but some useful efforts in 2023, including here; needs things to go better at the start than they sometimes do if he's to play a part. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Has drawn a blank this season but he retains a good chunk of ability, running well at Haydock in June off a 5lb higher mark and beaten under 4l in a hot York sprint latest; capable of a big run but slow starts have been a feature the last twice and that sounds a note of caution. |

31st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

The veteran of the field but he arrives in top form, finding only the revitalised Mondammej too strong over C&D three weeks ago; not dismissed lightly off an unchanged mark. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Well handicapped on last year's C&D form for Karl Burke but refused to race in April on final outing for that yard and down the field over C&D on recent stable debut, when again awkward at the start; risks attached. |
33/1 |
|
14th 6 (6) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten 16 times since his C&D win in September 2023; has often run well in defeat, including here, but he put a major black mark on his record at Nottingham in April, belatedly leaving the stalls but downing tools and bucking around immediately afterwards; the combination of a subsequent stable switch/wind surgery/change of headgear could all be beneficial and there's no doubt he has the ability to win a race like this; risky but feared. |
