22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Slow ground would be a worry (non-runner due to unsuitable good to soft here on Thursday) and he's unraced over this far; however, this front-runner has an extremely solid record in 1m handicaps here and was a Group 2 runner-up at Ascot (1m) last July; capable of bold bid if conditions suit. |

Front-runner; successful in this race in 2024 but that wide-margin win represents his last victory; solid fourth in a good York handicap in May; should be in the thick of it. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
10yo who won this in 2023; frequently runs well in quality handicaps and he's 5lb lower than when a cracking third in the Royal Hunt Cup last June; scratched from the Lincoln when running a temperature on his intended comeback last month and he tends to improve for a run these days; also winless since 2023. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

9yo who has drawn a blank since winning on the July Course in summer 2023 and needs everything to drop right but he often runs extremely well in defeat, including when third in the Royal Hunt Cup in June; another respectable effort when sixth of 20 in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good) a fortnight ago; not discounted in this slightly easier race. |

All British wins have been over 1m at York and he's unraced on the AW; some respectable shows in better handicaps this year but not the last twice; bit risky. |
10/1 |
|
5 (6) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His three wins in Britain have all come over 1m at York but he is fully effective at other tracks and he wasn't beaten far in his one Sandown run back in June 2022 (1m, good to firm); rain won't bother him and he's slipped to a dangerous mark but he will need a good pace to aim at back at 7f; stable have won the last two runnings. |
7/1 |

17th 14 (1) |
21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |

Scored just once in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 but on the last three occasions it was over 1m in the summer at York and in 2022 it was in this race; 14th and 13th in the last two runnings of it, with reappearance the pick of his mixed record this season, but he's much too well handicapped to be ignored. |

9yo who went 0-10 last year but he's well handicapped on the pick of last season's efforts, which came in the spring, and his Doncaster form-figures of 1413 catch the eye on his first visit here since 2023; interesting. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Well treated on his Listed win at Sandown in July 2024 but he drew a blank during his 2025 Australian campaign and has been well held in both runs (1m, good to firm/good) for new yard this season; still unexposed on AW but he needs to raise his game back in this sphere. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |

Listed win at Sandown in July 2024 and well treated on that form; however, he drew a blank during his 2025 Australian campaign and was soundly beaten on last month's stable debut in the Thirsk Hunt Cup; something to prove. |

Smart at his best for William Haggas, winning a Listed race at Sandown (1m2f, good) in July 2024; campaigned solely in Australia in 2025 and well beaten on his last two starts; potentially well handicapped back in Britain for a new yard after wind surgery, but he carries obvious risks. |

Front-runner who is 2lb lower then when winning at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in April, but his form since then has been patchy; ran with credit in two starts on Tapeta (at Southwell) a year ago, but will need to be at the top of his game and is likely to face competition for the lead. |

Two 7f soft-ground wins last term were kicked off in a similar handicap on the Saturday of this meeting one year ago; followed that up with a Redcar Listed success under Rossa Ryan one month later; hasn't matched that in two starts this term but this tends to be his time of year and he stays 1m; respected down to his last winning mark. |

Has done his winning at trips between 6f and 1m; losing run goes back to March 2024 but, following a spell in the doldrums for previous yard and this one, he's been back in better form of late, doing some good late work on the AW at Kempton (1m) and Wolverhampton (about 1m1f); can be involved with Tom Marquand up for the first time |
