13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Useful in France for Andre Fabre last year and made a solid start for his new yard in the spring, when winning at this level at Epsom; found the drop to 6f, faster ground and step up to Group 1 company beyond him at Royal Ascot and should do much better tonight under a small penalty. |

7th 2 (15) |
21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Useful as a 2yo in France for Andre Fabre; took his form to a much higher level when making winning start for new yard in Listed race at Epsom (7f, good to soft; unraced on good or firmer) three weeks ago, the first two pulling 9l clear; races freely and should be at least as effective back at 6f; hard to pin down but the Epsom run suggests he's smart and he's one to consider. |

31st May 2024 Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Raced four times in these colours for Andre Fabre, winning on debut before contesting two Group 3s and a Group 1 (all at 7f); could do with bucking the habit of starting slowly (as was the case in his last two runs) but a repeat of his second at Longchamp (good to soft) wouldn't see him far away at this level; lacking a run may count against him. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Kept on for third at Epsom (7f, good) in August and 6l second at Sandown (7f, soft) last time behind an improved winner; the step back up in trip could be a plus (he ran well over 1m1f at Meydan in February); chance. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Useful at two and three when trained by Richard Fahey; unable to win in the Middle East last winter but he ran his best race for a while when third of nine in a 7f handicap (good) at Epsom 18 days ago, plugging on having been outpaced in the straight; today's more conventional track should suit and he'll be fine on good to soft (unraced on slower). |

3rd 1 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Short-headed in 3yo Listed race over C&D last May and he ran some good races in defeat in Qatar and UAE between last November and this March; however, he returned to Britain with a 9l defeat at York last month and needs to leave that form well behind; cheekpieces reapplied. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Winning touch has deserted him since taking back-to-back novices in the spring of 2024; has run some good races during the losing sequence and testing ground won't hold him back, but even if right on his game these weights are unfavourable. |
25/1 |

11th 5 (16) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Useful but he is 0-12 since a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024 and not particularly solid on 2026 form; on a difficult mark returned to handicap level and isn't sure to uphold a consistent Sandown record. |
33/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Useful but is 0-12 since completing a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024, essentially proving quite difficult to place; hasn't strictly improved for a switch to hold-up tactics this term (seemingly being taught to settle better); unlikely to regain the winning thread on these terms. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Ran poorly on his reappearance at Salisbury (6f, good) five weeks ago; best efforts give him a squeak and he is effective on AW but others appeal more for win purposes. |
16/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Just missed out in this race on his reappearance 12 months ago (good to firm); ended 2025 with two good second-place finishes in Listed company at Doncaster and Southwell; each-way shout once again. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Ran well in Listed grade at Salisbury on reappearance; has failed to repeat that form in two major handicaps at Ascot since; returns to the scene of his last success (6f, soft) but this is a stiffer assignment. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Acts on most ground; has won three handicaps at Musselburgh this season and gained her first Listed success when scoring at Chester (7f, good) in June, but she was below that level at Pontefract (1m) last month; has a better draw than she did when down the field in this contest last year but is now 11lb higher than when last seen in handicap company. |
22/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Could hardly be coming into this in better form, winning four of her last five starts including another Listed event at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; still favoured on these terms despite her 3lb penalty and although the stiffer mile is one small question mark, she is a major player nonetheless. |

1st 3 (8) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
This 5yo is in the form of her life at present, gaining a third Musselburgh handicap win of the season when easily seeing off seven rivals 37 days ago; had a wide stall as a an excuse for a slightly below-par effort over the extended 7f here prior to that and she went close here last season; on the shortlist. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won 6f handicap off fairly modest mark as 2yo and it hasn't been easy in Group 3 and Listed races this year, albeit with little between her and Key To Cotai on recent Listed Carlisle form (7f, good to firm) on the slightly revised terms; likely to need more. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
26th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
A fair 6f nursery winner but she's found things tough campaigned in better company this term, last of six in 7f Epsom Listed event last time; others appeal more. |
25/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
31st May 2024 Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Has won only one of her nine starts and that was a Leicester nursery last August (6f, good to firm) when well handicapped; no closer than fifth in Group 3/Listed assignments this season and this looks no easier. |
16/1 |
