3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive 3yo for Ed Walker, reeling off a four-timer before running well in an Ascot Group 3 last October; didn't fire in Qatar earlier this year but he won well at Saint-Cloud in May (6f, soft) and turned in another fine handicap effort when second of 25 in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm), making his challenge on the opposite side of the track to the winner; 3lb higher and this sharper track is not sure to play to his strengths. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Found his trip when back at 6f in the second half of 2023, indifferent to the state of the ground when winning all four handicaps, including over C&D on good to firm; has left Ed Walker since but was at least as good as ever when winning a 6f conditions race at Saint-Cloud (soft) in May; has cards to play back here. |
7/1 |

6th 7 (9) |
7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Acts on any ground; progressive 3yo who has completed a handicap four-timer since being dropped back to 6f and gained the last two wins at this venue; overall record is now 6-13; brings a very attractive profile to this first Group attempt and being 2-2 at Ascot is a bonus. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Encouraging start for this yard with two fifth-place finishes off higher marks in the spring; however, his form has gone the wrong way subsequently and he needs to turn things around. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Encouraging start for this yard with two fifth-place finishes at Leicester and York (also 6f) in the spring but his last two starts haven't been as promising; nicely treated and he does have form here so a revival isn't out of the question. |
14/1 |

Ran well in Listed/Group races in 2024; on a three-year losing spell but his Class 2 form this term for new yard includes a couple of encouraging efforts; possibilities off current mark back down in grade. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
12-time winner, including 2024 edition of this race; has a bit to prove after two down-the-field finishes but faced tough task in Group 1 July Cup here last time and he looked as good as ever when creditable third in Group 3 on Rowley Mile here (6f, good) in April; in the shake-up if back on song. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Multiple winner, most recently when sent over to Qatar in February, but his form has regressed since and this is a difficult task even if a revival materialises; gained his C&D wins at handicap/Listed level; yet to score above Group 3. |
33/1 |

11th 11 (13) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who has a strike-rate of 12-34 overall and 3-4 at York, the most recent course success in 7f Group 3 last June (equally effective at 6f); ties in with some of today's opponents on penultimate effort; removal of usual hood backfired last time; likely to go well. |

Successful in a Carlisle Listed event (5f, good to firm) in May; solid efforts under a penalty twice since; handles soft ground but suspicion he will prove vulnerable giving weight away again. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Close third in Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock 12 months ago and made most to win Listed race at York (5f, good to firm) last summer; well below par all four starts since (short of room in Newmarket Group 3 on latest) but down in grade here and may well bounce back. |
