Dominic Ffrench Davis' former assistant takes over from him as her trainer; she brings an unblemished record and has track form, having won here (good to soft) before beating the runner-up again in a Listed race at Sandown (soft); that latest effort can be upgraded as she was on the back foot after missing the break and did well to win at all; respected. |

9st 9lb |
Started off for Lemos De Sousa with two encouraging AW runs in the spring (5f/6f) and can be excused this month's turf defeat (suffered interference); would appeal more on ground slower than good but has slipped to a tempting mark and may be aided by the refitted blinkers. |

9st 5lb |
Patchy after a debut win (heavy) last spring and been tried in various forms of headgear; not beaten far in a couple of AW handicaps in the spring, when having excuses each time, and won't mind any rain. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, soft) in March; third of six in Listed race at Sandown (soft) next time but he's struggled in last two runs (Group 2/Listed) and has been gelded since; passed over. |

5th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Won the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, soft) in March; third of six in Listed race over this C&D (soft) in May but well beaten in the Group 2 Coventry at Royal Ascot and his limitations are likely to be exposed once more. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
16-1 debut winner at Doncaster (5f, soft); faced the same scenario but at Listed level at Sandown and wasn't out of his depth, staying on well for third from an unpromising position; stepping up to 6f looks the way to go and he's not without hope of outrunning his odds, provided stall 1 (from which The Wow Signal obliged ten years ago) is no drawback; tongue-tie added. |

Prominent racer was second over this trip at two; second over 6f three times this year, once here and in big-field Curragh handicaps last twice. |

2nd 6 (19) |
4th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Remains a maiden after 14 races; positives can be taken from last month's C&D second, which gives him an edge over several members of this field; that was on soft and better ground should suit on the evidence of his Dundalk form; however, he is not well treated relative to I'm Spartacus based on a clash in March. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won a C&D maiden (good) as a 2yo but her handicap career has not yet amounted to much and she was well held in three runs during the winter; mark continues to fall but she's now 1-13 and has plenty to prove after a break; cheekpieces removed. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Turf winner as 2yo but her handicap career has not yet amounted to much and a reduced mark counted for nothing at Newcastle recently; hooded or tongue tied of late, refitted cheekpieces today; reservations remain. |

19th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
11-8 when winning on debut at Newbury (5f, good to soft) in April and reportedly unsuited by the soft (heavy in places) ground when disappointing favourite in the Listed National Stakes at Sandown; the Newbury form has worked out extremely well and he retains significant potential; one to consider. |

23rd May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |

Kodiac colt who justified favouritism with a neck win at Newbury (good to soft) despite hanging right; the form has substance and he's a leading contender upped in grade; Hannon yard has a good record in this race. |
