10th 8 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Turned his back on a brilliant AW career and, after some fruitless efforts on turf in 2025, as when fading into mid-division in this race, the switch has paid off handsomely since he was gelded, the usual front-running tactics working well at Newmarket (good to firm) before he showed he doesn't have to lead when arriving late for a cosy Group 2 win at Haydock (also 5f, good to soft) in May; this stiff 5f asks a question but he could achieve yet more. |

1st 7 (6) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Not beaten far in two 5f Group 1s last August/September (good to firm/yielding) and he finally got off the mark on turf when making all in the Group 3 Palace House Stakes at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was his first run since being gelded and he could be tough to reel in. |

1st 5 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Often leads; he's pure quality on the AW (4-4) but has had trouble sustaining his effort on turf, even allowing for being first home on his side in a Group 2 at Goodwood in August; gelded since last seen but whether he'll appreciate this stiff finish is questionable. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual winner for Roger Varian (7f/1m; AW/good to firm); has slipped to a good mark and he halted the slide in his fortunes with a third at Yarmouth; considered despite an awkward draw. |

3rd 2 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Dual winner for Roger Varian (7f/1m; AW/good to firm) and he's now 13lb lower than for the second win; ran his best race since joining this stable when sixth of 18 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft; first-time visor) 18 days ago and has claims if building on that; headgear removed. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Likeable 5yo who signed off for last year with a demolition job on 17 rivals in Listed event at Doncaster (1m2f, heavy) in November; possibly ideally suited by the mud but drying ground should not inconvenience her unduly and she has made the frame in two Group 2 races over 1m6f; the one to beat if giving her running after a winter break. |
8/11 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Best effort last season was over 1m4f on heavy ground in October and she's shown similar form in Group 2s over about 1m6f in her only two starts this term, keeping Waardah up to her work at Goodwood on first occasion; a fair bit extra will be needed from her if she's to win this. |
14/1 |

4th 2 (9) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Closely related to 2m4f Ascot Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami; best last term when second in 1m4f Newbury Group 3 (heavy) in October; unraced this season until her battling second in Group 2 at Goodwood six weeks ago on the step up to 1m6f; that's one of the best pieces of form in this line-up and she could build on it; a leading player from top stable which runs four. |

One of her three wins came over C&D; off the mark for this stable when comfortably seeing off eight rivals at Newcastle two weeks ago (6f); drawn wide but a 3lb rise looks manageable. |

Has won off higher marks when trained by Ivan Furtado in 2024; 0-8 for current yard but was close second at Yarmouth (6f, soft) two runs back; on a career-low mark and cannot be discounted. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-9 on AW; reportedly benefited from removal of blinkers with narrow win at Pontefract (1m4f; front pair clear) a fortnight ago but underwhelmed over 1m2f (also good to soft) at Redcar on Saturday; step back up to this trip should help. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Reportedly benefited from removal of blinkers when returning to form with narrow win at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft; front pair clear) nine days ago; recent 4lb rise is manageable and the forecast overnight rain will be very much in his favour. |

1-18; respectable effort when fourth in first-time blinkers at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) in May but was beaten 12l, when things didn't go his way, in amateur riders' handicap at Newcastle (AW) next time; weakened a long way from home on his return at Doncaster 11 days ago. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has done nothing but progress since the visor went on, winning five of his last eight starts (including C&D) and going up 31lb in the weights; off for eight months since winning at Goodwood in September and will need another career-best off this mark. |

9st 11lb |
Has won four of his last seven starts at 6f, on AW then back on turf at Doncaster (good to firm) in June; up 7lb but it was a solid sixth of 22 at York (good) in July, when he raced away from the main action; drying ground would be a likely positive and he's firmly in the picture. |

1m win here on stable debut in March and he's followed that with five good runs in defeat, most recently a near miss over C&D three weeks ago; closely matched with the winner Ring Of Gold; should make another bold bid. |

Won three at up to 2m on the Flat last season, including on good to firm; winner over hurdles in March (2m1f, soft) but well held over 1m2f here back on the Flat four weeks ago; this trip is more suitable but she needs to leave that latest run well behind. |
