13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Far from disgraced in last three appearances (various grades) but finished behind some of today's rivals in those contests and needs to raise his game somewhat; on a ten-race losing sequence that goes back to Group 3 honours two years ago. |
16/1 |

6th 6 (4) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Very useful 6f performer who registered last success in Group 3 contest at Ascot two years ago; has Group 1 form, including creditable sixth in the 2025 July Cup; made a solid start to his 2026 campaign with 1l second to Aramram at Doncaster; again likely to be thereabouts. |
8/1 |

2nd 7 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Not the easiest of rides (sometimes slowly away and can pull hard) but he's smart on his day and he wasn't beaten far when sixth in the July Cup at Newmarket last summer; now having first run since and this is a significant drop in grade; stablemate of James's Delight and gives Clive Cox a strong hand. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Had a fine year in 2024, winning three 5f races, two of them at Listed level; not hit the same heights yet this year but she's tumbling down the weights and this represents a drop in class; 7f the query. |

13th 11 (7) |
28th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Had a fine year in 2024, winning three 5f races, two of them at Listed level; not hit the same heights yet this year but she's dropped 8lb for her efforts; a revival isn't out of the question. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Tough filly who landed two Listed races last season; hasn't quite recaptured her best in two runs this season and this looks a hot race for the grade; apprentice unable to claim his 5lb either. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Made late headway from the rear over 5f at Pontefract on stable/seasonal debut; interesting back up in trip, despite still being on a long losing spell; remains attractively treated on plenty of form. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (8) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Capable of useful form for Andrew Balding; close fourth when favourite for last year's Ayr Gold Cup; hasn't won since 2023 but looks interesting off current mark in this field on debut for new yard; remains with same owner; drops back to 5f for first time since good second (joint-best effort) in Sandown Group 3 in July 2024. |
6/1 |

11 (7) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Only 2-20 and but knows what these big-field handicaps are all about and was bang there when favourite for the Ayr Gold Cup two weeks ago (6f, soft; first-time cheekpieces); things didn't go to plan when he tried 7f once before; possible. |

23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
He's got back on track in a major way in 5f handicaps this spring, winning at Newmarket then impressively making all in a big field at York last week (both on good ground; effective on soft early in career); back up in grade this afternoon but this thriving 5yo could be capable of another bold bid. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (18) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Snapped a lengthy losing sequence when making virtually all to win at Newmarket (5f, good) last month on his reappearance; he needs to back up that performance but did it comfortably last time and, following a 5lb rise, remains well treated on his historic exploits; a possible. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Captured this prize last year and largely in good form after, despite his customary slow starts; should strip sharper for his reappearance sixth in 5f Newmarket handicap 17 days ago so he's no forlorn hope in refitted cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (9) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Strong traveller who can be slowly away; first handicap win when beating Existent at Goodwood (5f, good) last May; treading water during the summer but he did well when a close third of 21 from a tough draw in the Portland (extended 5f, good) in September and a subsequent Ascot defeat by a well-treated rival was another solid run given the race didn't go his way; claims. |
5/1 |
|
5 (7) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Just two wins to his name but he has plenty of ability and comes here in top form, most recently coming from well back to snatch second at Ascot three weeks ago (5f, soft); slow starts are a thorn in his side but no surprise to see him arriving on the scene late; new visor replaces cheekpieces. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Top-class form when third in Group 1 Nunthorpe at York and when winning Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar, both in 2024; rusty on last year's reappearance but showed he retains plenty of ability when fourth of 20 in Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot on only subsequent outing; leading claims if showing his best after layoff, although that's not guaranteed. |
4/1 |
|
9 (14) |
17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Dabbles at both sprint trips but 5f on fast ground suits him well as he showed both when finishing an excellent third in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (good to firm) in August and for his win in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar (firm) in November; should come on plenty for last month's reappearance and the weather has been kind. |
12/1 |
|
1 (7) |
24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins at York (5f, good to soft) last year before fine third in the Group 1 Nunthorpe there (5f, good to firm) and he won the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (5f, firm) in November; lacks a recent run and carries a 5lb penalty but holds leading claims if returning at the top of his game. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Two Listed wins at about 5f - at York (good to firm) as 2yo and Chantilly (heavy) on comeback - but she needs to recapture form now back at 6f and, even if she does, others have stronger form at the trip. |
10/1 |
|
5th 8 (9) |
20th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Two Listed wins, over 5f as 2yo (good to firm) and on reappearance at Chantilly (extended 5f, heavy); best effort since the latter when just losing out in 5f handicap at Glorious Goodwood but she ran flat behind Star Of Lady M at York next time which tempers enthusiasm. |
12/1 |

11th 2 (11) |
21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Acts on any ground; dual Listed winner, including over C&D last season; returned to form when close second in Glorious Goodwood handicap (5f) latest; still looks favourably treated back up just 2lb; respected. |

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. |
16/1 |
|
1 (8) |
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. |
16/1 |

11 (3) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
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. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
0-11 on turf with his best efforts coming on slower than good; back up in the weights after a productive AW campaign and he has enough to prove back on turf, all the more so after his tame effort at Newcastle on Good Friday. |
33/1 |
|
14th 6 (10) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Two 6f wins at Kempton this winter and he ran as well as he ever has when a close fourth at Lingfield five weeks ago (behind Ferrous and Lakers); this stiff 6f should suit and he can make another bold bid. |
14/1 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
3-3 on AW, showing improved form to win a useful race at Kempton 16 days ago (6f); 3lb rise not beyond him and he should give it a good go in his hat-trick bid. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 60y |

6th 1 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
10st 1lb |
Sole win in June 2023; in good form on the AW off this mark recently, beaten less than 1l the last twice; best turf form on fast ground and on a dangerous mark based on a 2l second at Windsor off 7lb higher last June; could go well. |
15/2 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Yet to add to his 6f 2yo win on AW in Britain for Brian Meehan; solid level of form here of late, most recently staying on for second behind all-the-way winner Sporting Hero over this trip last month from a wide draw; 4lb better off with rival here, major chance. |
