1st 6 (6) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Fourth of 11 in this 12 months ago (soft); mixed form this season and she blew the start at Glorious Goodwood two runs ago, but she's caught the eye on occasions and was a Listed winner at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in May; capable of being in the mix. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Dual Listed winner (7f/6f) who was a strong-finishing fourth behind two of these in 6f Group 3 here (good to firm) in July; blowing the start ruined her chance in 7f Goodwood Group 3 on latest outing; could still be capable of better but it is very much needed. |
20/1 |

8th 4 (14) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Two-time Listed winner (7f/6f) who returned to form with a staying-on fourth against males in the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes at Newbury 11 days ago (6f, good to firm; denied clear run); shaped that day as though the return to 7f would be a plus and she's one to consider. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Ran as well as he's ever done when second in this race 12 months ago, and he was a creditable third in Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good) last time; solid credentials and unlikely to be far away. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Best effort this year when going close in Group 3 at Epsom on penultimate start; record at Goodwood features two wins at this meeting, including in this race 12 months ago, and a good second to Qirat on worse terms in a handicap; shortlist material back here. |
7/1 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Went close behind Holguin in this race last year before winning the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good); had some struggles last autumn/winter, but he returned after wind surgery with a near-miss in a Group 3 at Epsom (tongue-tie added) last month; that was much more like it and he's a major player if he can back that up. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Back to winning ways off this mark at Lingfield (1m, AW; cheekpieces first time) in April; he hasn't built on that and others may have his measure. |
14/1 |
|
7th 10 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but not at the same level at Epsom (8.5f, good) and Kempton (7f, AW) since, and needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |

8th 2 (11) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Added to a good record in the spring when winning off 2lb lower at Lingfield (1m) last month in first-time cheekpieces; a long way below that level on turf since and this trip is a bare minimum round here, especially from a wide stall. |

11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |

Won five times in Britain, latest in August; shaped well a couple of times on the AW for this stable but didn't beat a rival home the last twice on turf, slowly away both times; down 3lb. |

14th 4 (14) |
29th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Third in 6f Group races at the Curragh on his last two starts (good/good to firm), most recently behind Big Mojo; he likes slow ground but that's not enough of a positive to suggest he'll be a serious player today, as he has quite a bit to find with the principals. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Won last year's Greenlands Stakes here, battling well to beat another British challenger, with Big Gossey a little unlucky in a close third; struggled in two Group 1s in the autumn; out of the money on seasonal debut at Doncaster in March; more like it in his repeat bid in the Greenlands, splitting Big Gossey and Bucanero Fuerte; relatively light campaign may stand to him now. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Latest win came in a claimer and he was never a threat back in a handicap at Chester last time; fully exposed and others appeal more. |

7th 12 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Normally ridden to be produced late, as when successful at Salisbury (7f, good) in June, but was given a straightforward ride to land a claimer over C&D (good) 20 days ago; this looks tougher however and more is required. |
14/1 |

1st 4 (4) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
The last run wasn't his best (four ran) but he was bang there in his four previous races, all handicaps at 7f/1m; drops into a claimer on favourable terms and must have every chance; has run well here before. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two creditable shows in midwinter, including over C&D, but his sole win was back in 2023 and he ran no sort of race on this track in January; needs to shrug that off. |

8th 9 (4) |
14th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Hard to make a case for him being on a good mark on what we've seen in handicaps but perhaps returning to sprinting will help this free-goer; Rossa Ryan back in the plate for AW debut. |

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Five-race maiden; gelded prior to creditable second in Beverley novice event (7.5f, soft) last time; receives weight all round on only his second handicap attempt, so may have a fighting chance. |

26th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Found further improvement to be a 2l third on soft ground at Chester (6f) and has been gelded since a quiet nursery debut at Glorious Goodwood; has to be of interest in a novice that lacks any depth. |
5/2 |
|
10th 13 (12) |
3rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Has improved with each of his three runs (all at 6f) and he was a good third at Chester (soft) last time; there's every chance he'll be fine at 7f and could continue to progress; not ruled out on nursery debut. |

Six-race maiden for whom lots went wrong (failed to settle and hung right) when tailed off in maiden here (1m, soft) in April; however, he's shown promise previously and the drop back to sprinting and return to better ground could bear fruit on today's handicap debut. |
