28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Has been running over 7f but of more interest back at 6f and this is her first run at the trip on a straight track since running up against a success story at York (good to soft) in June; on the premises off 5lb lower if cheekpieces don't tip her the wrong way. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Unplaced the last twice on her first two attempts at 7f but those were on good ground and a slow surface seems preferable; stays well over 6f and things could click at 7f this afternoon if she gets favourable conditions. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won a valuable C&D handicap last summer before bolting up in the Stewards' Cup one week later; another fine course run when second of 16 in July and he was heavily supported for a Stewards' Cup repeat one week later, only to stumble leaving the stalls; wasn't far off his best over 1m here four weeks ago but this drop back to 7f still looks the right move; player. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Won a valuable 7f handicap here last summer before bolting up in the Stewards' Cup one week later; another fine course run here last month when second of 16 and he was heavily supported for a Stewards' Cup repeat, only to stumble leaving the stalls; that run is easily excused but he is back up 2lb today and his stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust. |
15/2 |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Surged to the front 1f out when dominant in this race (good to soft) 12 months ago; 7lb higher this time around but he was better than ever when second in a hot handicap at Ascot last week (7f, good to firm) when coming from further back than ideal; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and he has a fine chance of becoming the fifth horse to win back-to-back Stewards' Cups (Commanche Falls in 2021 and 2022 was the latest). |

9st 11lb |
Four wins up to 7.5f and in varying ground conditions; was beaten a long way on return over 6f at the Curragh in March; can do a lot better today but others preferred. |

15th Mar 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Fine campaign last season included wins at Naas (6f, gd-yld) and Leopardstown (7.5f, good); excellent run off this mark in 1m premier handicap here (good) in June; below best when last seen at Galway in August; handles softer ground and could go well if he's fit. |

3rd Aug 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Has done really well since joining current trainer this year, winning at Naas and Leopardstown (beating Fort Vega) and good second in Curragh premier handicap; fast ground may not have suited last time; cheekpieces now tried and rider's claim a positive. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
2024 went well but no joy since; did go close behind Brighton Boy at Thirsk in May (7f, good) before struggling in a Class 2 on the AW; could be dangerous off this mark if he did get an easy lead, though that seems unlikely. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Winless since his productive 2024 campaign; upped to 7f at Thirsk six weeks ago and put in a good front-running shift, picked off close home by the reopposing Brighton Boy; 3lb better off today but it won't be easy trying to boss this field. |

21st May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-7 in handicaps but went down by the narrowest margin at York last July; disappointing favourite in October and gelded ahead of this return to action; probably best watched from wide draw on AW debut (half-brother and dam did win on an artificial surface). |

Quite lightly raced this term and in good form, suffering a poor run when eighth in 1m Goodwood handicap in August; he ought to be in the shake-up. |

18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Three-time AW winner, two of them over C&D, and he's tumbling down the weights; one to keep an eye on in the betting but he's struggled to get competitive since December; major turnaround needed in a switch of headgear. |
8/1 |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Triple AW winner but his last success was 19 months ago and he's struggled in four runs for current yard; mark is tumbling but he needs a big turnaround back up in trip; cheekpieces return. |
8/1 |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time AW winner who was also successful on turf at Musselburgh (7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in August 2024, but he's struggled in three starts since joining this stable; dropped another 3lb. |
