9st 2lb |
Strode clear for an 11l success in Meydan handicap (1m2f, good) two months ago, recording a smart RPR; however, it remains to be seen whether he can transfer that improved form back to British soil and he's the stable second-string/ with William Buick on board Ottoman Fleet. |

9st 9lb |
As reliable as they come on AW, winning five of his 16 starts in this sphere and second or third on a further nine occasions; has a rare handicap run today but he looks held by Chancellor on their Southwell clash in February (3lb better off for a length but the winner had a bit to spare). |

2nd 6 (2) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Two Listed wins at Lingfield, including this race 12 months ago; may have needed the run when 3l behind Chancellor at Kempton in December and went desperately close over 1m2f later that month; shouldn't be too far away once more. |

Better than ever in most recent AW attempt, winning 1m Listed event at Lingfield; finished behind two of today's opponents at Ascot since, taking turf record to 0-6; not the percentage call. |

Landed the Winter Derby three years ago but has lacked consistency since and faces a difficult assignment against some unexposed/better types in this field; yard has a much stronger chance with Lion's Pride. |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
9yo who hasn't been at his very best this year and can be slowly away; however, this five-time Group 3 winner has still shown considerable spark in 2024, including here last time, and he may well be in the mix. |

6th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Polytrack winner at two who landed a 1m2f Salisbury Listed event last year; consistent of late without recapturing her best form and she faded in a Listed race over C&D 18 days ago; overall record now stands at 2-19 and she looks on a tough enough mark back in a handicap. |

20th Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Won the Golden Gates at this meeting in 2021 (1m2f, soft) and sixth in this last year; back to near his best with a clearcut Listed AW success at Kempton (1m2f) in April and reported to have been unsuited by the tight turns of Chester when running poorly last time; 3lb penalty. |

12th May 2023 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Group 3 winner on soft in 2021; touch regressive and failed to score last season but, following a gelding operation, has shown resurgent form in two notable AW races this year (clearcut Listed scorer at Kempton latest); enters calculations now he's moving back in the right direction. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Good C&D record includes a win in this last year off 5lb higher; back on form when narrowly denied at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) and things went wrong from the start (stumbled) when well behind Westridge at Goodwood since; could bounce back. |
18/1 |
|
6 (16) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has a mixed 1-6 record at Goodwood, with the win in 2019, but he won a 17-runner race at the York Ebor meeting last August and went down by a neck at Sandown this month, both over 1m2f on good to firm but the ground was not an issue previously; now a 9yo but 4lb lower than for that York win; drawn wide but likely to be delivered late anyway. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Resilient 9yo who can still give it plenty in competitive handicaps, as when beating 16 rivals at York (about 1m2f, good to firm; off 5lb higher) last August; however, he has less obvious claims on subsequent handicap runs, including back at York in June. |
