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. |

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. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Better than ever this year, winning Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) in July and running just as well when second in Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm; strong form) in August; drawn wide when down the field in the Foret at Longchamp, and may well bounce back, with this drop back to 6f unlikely to inconvenience him; possibilities. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Can front-run; his form took off once the cheekpieces went on over 7f last season, including for wins on good to firm and on soft, the latter in a Listed race at this track; reached even greater heights with his Group 2 win at Goodwood (7f, good) 18 days ago, challenging over 2f out to score at 25-1; there was an element of having the run of the race that day and he's now penalised, but the win was clearcut and he needs respect. |

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. |
16/1 |

9th 5 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |

7f nursery winner here (good; has won on good to firm) in 2023; landed seventh AW win when scoring at Lingfield (1m; first-time cheekpieces, retained) a fortnight ago; has won off higher marks than this and must be considered on his return to turf. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

0-9 on AW but caught the eye over 10.5f on debut for this stable in early December, keeping on for fifth and not far behind Nakasero (7lb better off now); unsuited by 1m the last twice and could improve plenty for this longer trip; interesting. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won this event on good ground last year, 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, including the Ascot event won by Powerful Glory; out of the money, along with the shorter-priced Spycatcher, on seasonal debut at Doncaster in March; this is a deeper race than last year's. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Hampered when fifth to Spycatcher in this race last year; gained ample compensation in Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good; gamely) two months later; didn't give his running in two Group 1s in the autumn but this is easier and he has gone well when fresh in the past; high on the list. |
15/2 |
|
4 (5) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Six wins from just 16 attempts and he landed the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good) in May; however, he was only eighth in this race 12 months ago and finished last in the Sprint Cup at Haydock last month; unlikely to be good enough. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Only won one of his last 25 starts and regressed last year; now 11lb lower than when beaten a nose over C&D last spring but there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh; others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |

1 (8) |
3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Struggled on his last four starts but he has dropped 9lb as a result; fully effective around here and he's likely to bounce back soon; 7f perhaps his optimum trip though. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Defied a higher mark at Glorious Goodwood last season and placed a few times on AW this year (up to April); not in top form since returning from a break and needs to stage a revival. |

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. |

2nd 1 (2) |
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. |
