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. |

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. |

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. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 63y |

Dual AW winner is 0-5 on turf for current trainer this year, not beaten too far on penultimate; handicapper giving him every chance and new headgear combination tried. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Dual AW winner; dangerously well-handicapped on best form for Marco Botti; signs of revival last two starts; ran better than the bare result on latest when drawn on the wrong side at Naas; eased another 3lb and the drop back to 5f is a plus; go well. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
10st 1lb |
Both wins on AW; turf form includes a listed second at York (5f, good) when 1.5l behind Big Evs; both starts for current yard on soft ground; showed a bit more last time and the return to better ground here is a big plus; drops in grade and handicapper giving him a chance; interesting. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up at Newcastle (6f, AW) before going one better to end a lengthy losing run over that same C&D 12 days ago; has won on turf, so the switch to grass is no issue and she's still on a nice mark on her old form following a 4lb rise. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

2nd 4 (2) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
It's now 18 runs since her last success but retried in headgear when a solid third of ten in 6f classified event at Thirsk ten days ago; she can't be ruled out in another headgear change. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer; three 5f wins when trained by Karl Burke, the latest a handicap off 1lb lower last July; runner-up in two of her five runs for Mick Appleby but she dropped away having forced the pace at Goodwood eight weeks ago; should be able to grab the stands' rail which could be advantageous but there are other pace influences to contend with. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Regressive form for current stable, including after a wind op in February; down the field here two weeks ago (7f) and today's change of headgear isn't enough to tempt. |

24th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Series of good runs on AW since returning from a gelding operation in November, going down by a short-head over 7f here ten days ago; stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (2) |
14th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win (ten races) was a 5f novice at Chester last July; has run creditably this winter on all three starts (7f/6f, Tapeta) since gelded but those results also suggest he will again prove vulnerable to an improver. |
8/1 |

1st Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

5f winner at Chester last summer; back in top form when third at Southwell 11 days ago but he was no match for Blue Prince on that occasion and his old adversary is preferred despite the revised weights. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 25y |
9st 11lb |
Six-time AW winner remains a maiden on turf (0-22); has placed over C&D (good) off 3lb higher and shaped better than the bare result at the Curragh latest so not dismissed from an each-way perspective. |
14/1 |

14th 18 (17) |
4th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Six-time winner over this trip on AW; still seeking turf breakthrough after 21 attempts; potentially well handicapped based on his victory at Dundalk in March, achieved at the main expense of today's rivals Reposado and Masked Angel; 11lb better off with Reposado. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
All four wins have come over 7f/1m on the AW, the latest in February; back off the same mark as for that success, but she is 0-10 on turf and has never attempted this far before. |
18/1 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
All four wins have come over 7f/1m on the AW, the latest in February; return to this trip should suit, but she is 0-9 on turf and a few of the others make greater appeal. |

Her three course wins have come over a mile, the latest when beating Dosman (runs in the 3.00) in February; slightly disappointing here four weeks ago but she is back against her own sex and not handicapped out of things. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Very useful juvenile/3yo for Roger Varian; hasn't progressed and plenty to prove after some modest efforts this year, including back on turf at Thirsk last time (6f, good). |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

8lb lower than for his Newcastle third in December (6f) but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; hopes rest on the return to turf perking him up. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Close third over 6f here in December and now 6lb lower; however, four lesser performances have followed and the return to 7f is of dubious benefit, with his three wins having been at 6f. |

19th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Rated considerably higher this time 12 months ago but he's down in the weights as a result of some modest runs since March; returning to 6f not enough to tempt this time. |
