7th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Made it 4-6 on the AW when gamely holding on to win a 0-95 handicap at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) 13 days ago; more will be needed against a few of these, but no surprise were she to make the frame. |

9st 2lb |
Won three in a row on AW in the winter and returned to form with very close fifth in Newcastle handicap (1m, AW) 12 days ago; the return to turf poses a question but she has shown promise on grass and remains lightly raced; could have more to offer and she's not ruled out. |

7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time turf winner who is just 1lb higher than when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) in February; hasn't been in the same form since and returns from a break today, but drops back down in grade and is not ruled out. |

4th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Often front-runs; Lingfield AW in February ended his losing run and he was 33-1 when well held there in a Class 2 latest outing (rare start with this visor, instead of usual blinkers); second at Epsom last August showed some turf ability remained, but he's 2lb higher today and not the percentage call. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Already a three-time scorer (around 1m) in 2025 and he comes here on the back of a very good second of 13 in 1m Newcastle handicap; must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. |

2nd 5 (12) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Career win number eight when prevailing narrowly in a Class 4 at Beverley (extended 1m) and tends to find Class 2s too tough these days, so excused his Doncaster run; only 1-17 on the AW but could be a factor. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Scored twice in Qatar for these connections; question mark about ground softer than good, despite the official going at Goodwood last time when he was second in a strong conditions stakes; in good form in Britain on last three outings now but that does not mean he looks well handicapped. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 9 (5) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Below form two years ago on sole start on softer than good (soft); scored twice (1m2f/11.5f) in Qatar for these connections; looked in top form in the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m; eighth) and Listed race at Sandown (1m2f; third of six) on last two outings but a fair bit extra is needed to win this. |
25/1 |

4th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |

Has scored twice in Qatar for current connections; came up short in Listed grade returned to British soil but ran creditably in the Royal Hunt Cup since; difficult task at the weights returned to this level. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner in 2022 and narrowly failed to land a gamble off 1lb lower under these conditions just before Christmas; not as effective since but is worth a market check, particularly versus John Butler's other two runners. |

18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Gamble went astray, but only just, over C&D in December; not so effective over further at Wolverhampton since but he lurks on a dangerous mark; Final Night looks a safer option for John Butler fans. |

These conditions suited when going close in a seven-runner Newbury handicap (7f, good to firm) on reappearance but limited progress in two runs over 1m since, on turf (at Royal Ascot) and the AW; needs extra to keep pace with some of these progressive types. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up off a similar mark in this race for Charlie Hills last year; made a good start for new yard when third at Hamilton (1m1f) last month and he had another close call at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; usually races prominently and another bold bid is expected. |
3/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won twice for Charles Hills, including 1m2f on fast ground, and he ran well on his stable/seasonal debut at Hamilton last month (1m1f, good to firm), beaten around half a length into third (strong favourite); has races in him off this sort of mark but he could face competition for the lead here. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

14/1 |
|
12th 2 (11) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
He's won just once since making his British debut in October 2023; however, that came this January (7f, AW) and a slow start proved costly when back at 6f at Southwell last Thursday; effective on turf and might not be far away now back up in trip. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

9st 8lb |
All seven wins have been on good ground or softer; latest was in 2023 and although he has plenty of form (this year even) to give him a chance, having a second stab at 1m2f on latest outing didn't go well enough. |
9/1 |

6th 7 (2) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All seven wins have been on good or slower ground on turf; last success was in 2023 but he's well treated on old form and made some late gains when sixth of 15 at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and he could go well again on this step back up in trip. |

All seven wins have been on good or slower ground on turf; last success was in 2023 but he didn't get much luck when fourth at Wolverhampton (7f) last month and he's in the mix on this step back up in trip. |
