29th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Lightly raced 7yo; notched a personal best when winning at Newmarket (1m, soft) last autumn and that form worked out well; could finish only in midfield when one of the fancied runners for the Royal Hunt Cup over C&D (good) five weeks ago, but he came third in his group and a return to today's expected softer ground should suit; high on the list. |

13th 10 (8) |
21st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced and progressive; acts on any ground; has form figures of 12211 in 1m handicaps, most recently winning off 8lb lower at Newmarket last October in a race that has worked out very well; won from Blue For You the time before; may improve further this term, despite being a 7yo now; trainer won this race in 2010 and 2021; very interesting contender. |

prominent, joined leaders and going easily over 2f out, pushed along and led over 1f out, ridden and edged right inside final furlong, kept on, always doing enough |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple C&D winner, the latest last August when rated 5lb higher; obvious chance if anywhere near that level but he has been struggling more recently; the return to 1m2f will help but not a solid option. |
14/1 |

6th 1 (3) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has done nearly all his winning at about 1m2f, most recently last August; inconsistent since but drops back in grade off a workable mark; stayed on for creditable effort in sole attempt over 1m4f. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Eight-time AW winner and first and second in two of his four races here; didn't run at all badly last time at Lingfield (1m2f) but looks vulnerable at the minute in a race of this nature. |

30th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who reappeared with a promising run at Ascot (1m, good) in July, when staying on for a close fourth; better could have been expected at York (1m, good to firm) but it was a difficult race in which to make headway from the rear; the extra furlong may well be a positive here, along with the first-time blinkers, and he could be in the mix. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prolific winner at 1m-1m1f on good or slower; inconsistent this season but has slipped to a workable mark and, if in the same form as at Ripon on penultimate start, he could have a say. |
10/1 |

11th 13 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Multiple wins at 1m and 1m1f (good or softer) include two over C&D; quite favourably treated now and he was a very respectable fourth at Ripon recently, when just behind a subsequent winner; needs a bit more here. |
16/1 |

4th 2 (6) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins last year (1m/1m1f, good/soft); the last of them came in a seller and he was well beaten on last month's reappearance at Doncaster, but that was the competitive Spring Mile and he may have needed the run; won this in 2022 and he's not discounted off a handy mark. |

22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Spanish-trained 6yo whose career highlight came when winning Group 2 at Baden-Baden in 2021; however, his form at Meydan earlier this year, and in two British starts in the summer, suggests he may be a shade vulnerable. |

Spanish-trained 6yo whose career highlight came when winning Group 2 at Baden-Baden in 2021; however, his form at Meydan earlier this year, and in a handicap at Ascot three weeks ago, suggests he's vulnerable here. |

29th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Spanish-trained contender; enjoyed his finest hour when winning German Group 2 (1m, good to soft) in September 2021 and performed respectably in three runs in Dubai early this year; bit to prove on British/handicap debut but Jamie Spencer is a good booking over the straight mile here. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Narrow maiden (soft) and novice (AW) wins over 7f in May and June 2023; has yet to get a regular foothold in handicaps (hampered early on latest) but this is a drop in grade from last time and he is falling in the weights. |
12/1 |

7th 5 (5) |
13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Back-to-back wins in minor races last season but handicaps are providing a tougher challenge; beaten under 4l in a Racing League event last time and that was after an absence (gelded), but whether he'll build on that remains to be seen. |
10/1 |

8th 1 (3) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Won twice over 7f in maiden/novice company last season (including Tapeta) but he came up short once handicapping; gelded since last seen; can do better this year but he's into a competitive race after 317 days off. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Having tumbled down the weights he returned to form in a 1m1f handicap here last month, winning decisively; second over 1m2f at Ripon on Sunday, staying on at the finish; up in trip but likely to go well. |
3/1 |

2nd 8 (13) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won for the first time since August 2023 off a much reduced mark in a weak contest at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last month; not sure to back that up in this better contest off 4lb higher. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

Triple turf winner (7f/1m) but his last success was in August 2023 and he's been out of sorts since returning in September from a lengthy absence; mark is tumbling but he needs a major revival. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Often ran well last year, including on turf, and won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in October; however, he's finished down the field on both outings this season; he may be of greater interest when the blinkers return. |
25/1 |

7th 9 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
In good form in blinkers towards the end of last year, winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in October; however, he has a poor strike-rate and wasn't at his best in cheekpieces at Newcastle (1m, AW) six weeks ago following a break; cheekpieces remain on today. |
