11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
A tremendous campaigner over the years with two Stewards' Cups to his name; in and out this season and only twelfth in the Ayr Gold Cup three weeks ago, but he has clear possibilities on his fast-finishing second to stablemate Northern Ticker over C&D in August; 1lb lower today. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Two years since his last win but this dual Stewards' Cup winner is more realistically treated these days and he gave his younger stablemate Northern Ticker a race at York last month; not so good at Doncaster last week and he will do well to win this race in his fourth attempt (seventh in 2021, runner-up in 2022 and sixth last year). |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |

Hasn't won for just over two years and whether the extra half-furlong suits remains to be seen, but he kept on well for a head second of 20 at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago and that performance bodes well for a prominent showing today; versatile ground-wise. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Good strike-rate on AW includes a Listed sprint double at Lingfield this year; has lots of good form on turf, including very close third in this race two years ago and respectable fourth in Newmarket Group 3 last time; still a maiden (0-19) in this sphere, however. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Good strike-rate on AW includes a Listed sprint double at Lingfield this year, sharing the spoils with Completely Random on reappearance; similar to that rival, looks far from guaranteed to maintain the form back on turf; 0-18 in this sphere. |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Smart on turf but AW is his thing and he added another Listed win to his tally when dead-heating in the Kachy Stakes (6f) here three weeks ago; has a penalty to shoulder but that was also the case when he won the corresponding race in 2024 (run at Southwell); a lower draw would have been preferable but he looks set to go well again. |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Progressive at two, winning a big sales race at Doncaster before far too good for 15 rivals in the Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar; impressed at Ascot on last season's reappearance (Group 3; 6f, good) and ended his 3yo campaign with a solid fourth in a Deauville Group 1; this is his AW debut but his dam won at the track and there's no obvious reason he wouldn't be effective on it; one of two runners for Karl Burke. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Thereabouts in 6f Group races in France and Ireland last summer, including on good to firm, and has shed a few pounds with his mark since; hampered on last two AW starts and not discounted back on turf in first-time cheekpieces for yard that won this with 22-1 shot Saint Lawrence (also runs today) in 2023. |

6th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Two 7f wins last spring, including Listed; made a promising seasonal/handicap debut when third at Lingfield in February (6f) but he was disappointing over C&D last month, awkward leaving the stalls but unable to make up any ground in the straight; dropped another 2lb; more appealing over further. |

21st Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Smart sort who was having his first outing in handicap company when a very good third of 17 at York's Ebor meeting, finishing strongly and away from where the main action unfolded; the 7f trip (last on previous attempt as a 2yo) and AW are unknowns but that York effort suggests he can win from this mark. |

6th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Kept useful company last year, as when sixth of the 20 runners in the Commonwealth Cup; gelded in the autumn and lightly raced this term, but has run with credit in both starts as when beaten less than 2l into fifth of ten in a Group 3 at Newbury (6f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) 15 days ago; has the form to play a part from the inside stall, but may not want too much rain. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on flat tracks but he comes into his own when tackling a stiff test at 5f, as when winning this race last year, taking C&D record to 2-2, and roaring home to win a Group 3 at Sandown (good to firm) in July; cheekpieces worn in October are discarded; yard in form; not to be underestimated. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Three-time winner at Group 3 level, two of them this year, including when defying a penalty at Sandown in July (5f, good to firm); ran a stormer when fifth in the Nunthorpe four weeks ago; versatile ground-wise and he should make another bold bid. |
3/1 |

5th 5 (14) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Can look good over 5f, as when winning either side of a winter break and, more recently, when outstaying She's Quality in a Group 3 at Sandown (good to firm) in July; however, he's had some wobbles too and his fifth to Arizona Blaze in a Group 2 at the Curragh last time was one of them; quite capable of a good show on his best form and has been supplemented. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Group 3 winner at Ascot (6f, soft) last October and he's versatile ground-wise; down to a dangerous mark but he hasn't been at the top of his game on his four runs this year, in handicaps on the last two occasions, and he needs to turn things around in a first-time tongue-tie and reapplied cheekpieces. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Successful in major handicap in 2023 and a few Group races since but balance of 2026 form suggests he's unlikely to defy top weight in this field. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Ended last season with a game win in Group 3 at Ascot (6f, soft) in October; repeatedly met trouble when only seventh in Saudi Arabia (a race he'd won two years earlier) in February and things didn't really go his way again in a Listed race at Doncaster last month; has possibilities on this drop back in class and his last handicap win was off 1lb higher. |

Pounced late under Jamie Spencer to snatch Curragh Group 2 (6f, good) in May 2024, but has raced only three times since, last seen finishing a respectable second in AW Listed event at Lingfield in February 2025; others carry fewer risks but he's no forlorn hope if ready to roll after 419 days off. |

Record of 6-22 on turf includes Listed/Group wins, the most recent under a textbook Jamie Spencer ride at the Curragh (6f) last May; had wind/gelding operations since last run; major contender, provided he takes to AW and reproduces best form. |
