26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Thrived in first half of last year and won the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last June; absent with injury subsequently but he'll be very tough to beat if returning close to his best. |
3/1 |

1st 7 (5) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Four wins in Bahrain from December to March (1m2f-1m4f, good/good to firm) and transferred that improvement back to Britain with a Listed win at Goodwood (1m2f, good) last month; this is a tougher test of his credentials but he could have more left in the tank, especially now back up to 1m4f. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two handicap wins this season (1m and 1m2f, good to firm and good to soft); wouldn't judge her too harshly on her last two efforts (both on soft) and she's more appealing than many. |
9/2 |

7th 4 (8) |

Two narrow wins this summer, over 1m at Leicester (good to firm) and 1m2f at Newbury (good to soft) and both under Alec Voikhansky; form dipped on soft going last Tuesday but she's a major player if bouncing back. |

21st Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In the frame in all three handicaps, most recently when close second to Racing Demon at Salisbury (1m, good to firm; stumbled leaving stalls) last month; nudged up another 1lb for that but has big role to play here if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Well backed to win a 1m4f handicap here last September but nowhere near that in his next three runs; latest effort over 1m here (first-time blinkers) a fortnight ago was a step back in the right direction, however, and he'd be a threat if building on that now back up in trip; now tries cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 1m4f handicap here (13-8 favourite) last September but he's finished tailed off in three subsequent runs and latest was at Windsor last month; blinkers are now added and has lots to prove on this drop back to 1m. |
16/1 |

5th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |

Kept on well to score on Polytrack at Kempton (1m4f) in September and is also suited by turf but he ended last season with two heavy AW defeats and returns from 163-day break with a point to prove. |

The winner of two of his seven starts, more recently a 1m Class 5 handicap at Kempton last month off 3lb lower; respectable third on turf last time; needs further progress to win. |

3rd 7 (6) |
1st Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Has won on good to soft; quite well backed when landing his first handicap over 1m at Kempton having been handy throughout; appeared to have a bit in hand and only 3lb higher for this. |

Turf novice winner last October; quiet return but fared better when sixth of 16 in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) at Newbury (1m, good) 24 days ago and the winner has gone in again since; down another 1lb and worth a second look. |

9st 2lb |
Five wins at 1m, the latest two coming at this track in 2024; didn't run badly on his seasonal return here a fortnight ago (1m, firm); capable off this mark but the start is always a major concern where he is concerned. |

Won here over 7f in February either side of wins over this trip at Kempton; encountered a wide trip when down the field in a higher grade than this last time and he may well be able to bounce back. |
8/1 |

8th 11 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Arrives seeking a four-timer, two of the wins over C&D, and he hasn't been treated punitively by the assessor having gone up just 6lb; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but there are no doubts surrounding his wellbeing. |
12/1 |

1st 6 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Has started 2026 with wins over C&D and in a small field at Wolverhampton (7f); only 1lb higher on the hat-trick bid but this is more competitive and he's drawn widest. |
