22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Comfortably won 8.5f handicap at Epsom (good; unraced on firmer) in April; good second over 1m2f at Goodwood (heavy; made most) ten days later and back at Epsom (good to soft) on Derby Day; raced freely in mid-division for the latter race, so he should be able to find extra if settling better but having such a low draw again may not help. |

2nd 8 (1) |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Comfortable winner of 8.5f handicap at Epsom (good) in April and good second of six at Goodwood (1m2f, heavy; made most) ten days later; another 3lb higher today but has strong claims, for trainer who won this race in 2017, 2019 and 2022. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Now 2lb lower than when winning at Epsom (1m2f, good) last summer but yet to hit top gear after three runs this season (1m2f-1m4f) and today's drop back to 1m may not be ideal; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gelded ahead of a fairly encouraging reappearance at Epsom (1m4f, good) in April but disappointing when seventh of nine at Lingfield (1m2f) 20 days ago on his first run on good to firm; that surface might be an excuse and he's now tried in cheekpieces; far from ruled out, albeit still needing to prove his stamina. |

11st 2lb |
Easy win at Bath (1m2f, firm) when dropped into a Class 6 in May; not so good since but edging back down the weights and he holds each-way claims in this field. |
11/1 |

5th 4 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not far off career-best form when coming from the rear for clearcut success at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May but not seen to same effect on either subsequent outing; chance may depend upon others setting a strong pace. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Held up; ran creditably sole start here (2024); latest of his two wins came when dropped into Class 6 at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May, before a Class 4 at Yarmouth saw a lesser effort; should be competitive in this race. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Back to winning ways off this mark at Lingfield (1m, AW; cheekpieces first time) in April; he hasn't built on that and others may have his measure. |
14/1 |
|
7th 10 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but not at the same level at Epsom (8.5f, good) and Kempton (7f, AW) since, and needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |

8th 2 (11) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Added to a good record in the spring when winning off 2lb lower at Lingfield (1m) last month in first-time cheekpieces; a long way below that level on turf since and this trip is a bare minimum round here, especially from a wide stall. |

9st 13lb |
Won two in a row last May (1m, good) and is 7lb below his last winning mark; however, hasn't produced an effort of note since returning to Britain after a stint at Meydan. |
10/1 |
|
12th 14 (11) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Course winner who won two in a row last May (1m, good) and is 4lb below his last winning mark; showed some spark at Meydan in January but hasn't shone in Britain on his two runs since and needs to turn things around. |
20/1 |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Two 1m good-ground wins last spring include a defeat of Classic Encounter at Newmarket; creditable fifth of 16 at Meydan in January and although his return to these shores didn't go well when tailed off at Newmarket (raced too freely) in April, he's dipped below his last winning mark; considered. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two creditable shows in midwinter, including over C&D, but his sole win was back in 2023 and he ran no sort of race on this track in January; needs to shrug that off. |

8th 9 (4) |
14th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Can take a hold so needs a good pace to aim at, which he had when winning at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in August; still 2lb higher, but this may also be run to suit him so very much frame material. |
20/1 |

4th 7 (4) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Below par on AW last time; largely respectable form on turf otherwise this season, notably Windsor success in August; possibly has very little in hand off current mark, however. |
14/1 |

10 (1) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
The latest of three turf wins was at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; one respectable effort on dirt at Jebel Ali in early 2024 but unraced on AW in Britain and he likely needs something new for Tapeta if he's to defy his current mark. |

11st 1lb |
Arrives in top form, winning two of his last three starts (1m2f and 1m, good to firm; both wins at Brighton); up 5lb in a stronger race but he still makes some appeal; stable won this in 2020 and 2025. |
5/1 |

1st 3 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual course winner, latterly over 1m2f (good to firm) last month; travelled well for a long way when fourth in higher-grade company at Sandown (1m, good to firm; refitted cheekpieces) a fortnight ago and is of strong interest back at this track. |
100/30 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Went close at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance and returned to form to win at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) recently; he likes that seaside venue and drops back in trip today, but he is capable of running well away from Brighton and at 1m, so he could be in the shake-up. |

Fair on the Flat for Ed Walker last year; made inauspicious start to hurdling career in the autumn (failed to complete consecutive races) but his run at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in February was more encouraging and further progress is possible in handicaps. |

0-8 on Flat, with plenty of fair form (best effort at 1m2f); however, she refused at the third flight on stable/hurdle debut in November and was pulled up before two out when 66-1 at Newbury one month later. |

26th Jun 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up in three consecutive starts over 7f/1m on AW during the winter; beaten a long way in two turf outings in April and although he performed better when fifth of ten here (7f) three weeks ago (just behind Spun To Gold), he will still need to find more in order to get off the mark. |

Runner-up three times on AW over the winter, including off 2lb higher on his handicap debut (1m); tailed off in two turf runs in April (wore cheekpieces); plenty to prove back on AW with new headgear enlisted. |

11th 2 (3) |
23rd Apr 2024 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |

Tailed off on recent turf debut at Bath but that was on heavy ground; progressive on AW previously, finishing second at Lingfield (1m) in January in his first handicap, and he's worth another go on grass; a possible. |
