15th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Fourth in the 2024 Derby and St Leger; however, well held in Saudi Arabia and Dubai on his only two starts last year, left Owen Burrows for 16,000gns last October, gelded and never dangerous in 2m Ascot Group 3 (150-1) on return, so he seems to be swimming against the tide in this good race. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
A novice event remains his only win from ten races but he was fourth in the 2024 Derby and St Leger; well held in Saudi Arabia and Dubai on his only two starts last year, left Owen Burrows for 16,000gns last October and gelded last month; some caution has to be advised. |
100/1 |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; fourth in Group 1 Futurity here (1m, heavy) last October; sole win was a novice event but he came from last (over 5f out) to fourth in a 16-runner race for the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft) next time and also stayed on when beaten a neck in Listed contest at Windsor (11.4f, soft) three weeks ago; wore cheekpieces in those last two starts but now tries blinkers; the trip makes some appeal but he does need to improve. |

16th Jun 2024 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent maiden who was second for the fifth time in a row at Chester (10.5f, good) on penultimate start; fared less well on handicap debut when fourth of five back there (10.5f, good to soft) since and steps up in distance here. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner; latest win was under Mason Paetel here (1m2f) early last July for Ed Dunlop; 4lb lower today but that's after he went off the boil and there's been only a partial revival for new yard this year, finishing sixth of nine here last time in the race he won last year; the last time he raced over a trip this short was May 2025. |
8/1 |

6th 3 (9) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time winner who made all under Mason Paetel in this race (was 2lb higher) last year for Ed Dunlop; very respectable third on stable debut at Lingfield in May and soft ground may have blunted his finishing effort last time; interesting. |
13/2 |

4th 6 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Front-runner who gave good account when placed behind King's Hand over C&D (good) on last month's stable debut; that run came after a layoff and he remains on a good mark; handles good to soft (unraced on anything slower); no surprise if he makes a bold bid. |

15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Long breaks between his first three runs and has only run on fast turf to date; pulled hard when not seeing out 1m2f on his handicap debut here a month ago. |
16/1 |

7th 10 (12) |
15th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Three runs for two different trainers came over 21-month period; showed more in 1m2f Windsor novice 23 days ago and this 0-65 handicap is much more suitable; Charles Bishop, who rides the track well, is a decent booking. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Gained his only career win in this 12 months ago when 3lb lower and perhaps unlucky not to have won last week at Lingfield (2m AW) given the trouble he found in running; good or quicker ground might be ideal but effective on good to soft. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 (8) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win was at Salisbury (1m6f) last August but he's a reliable type who has hasn't been beaten far in his two runs this season including a clear second at Salisbury; looks worth another try at this trip and he's still unexposed on AW; shortlisted. |
7/2 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Well suited by a stiff 1m6f and his clear comeback second at Salisbury a month ago has been boosted by the winner going in again since; only 1lb higher and his claims are obvious. |

22nd Apr 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Makes appeal on pedigree but he dropped away to finish last of 13 in a 7f novice at Newmarket (heavy) in November; should prove a different proposition this year but still not easily recommended. |

Godolphin cast-off who makes his debut; 1,000gns yearling; third foal; half-brother to 7f 2yo winner One National (RPR 97); dam French 10.5f winner from classy family; others make greater appeal. |

Well beaten both starts, latterly last of seven at Windsor (1m2f novice, good to firm; 150-1, beaten 32l); unlikely winner. |
