Four-time AW winner in Britain; pleasing start for this yard when staying on third at Leopardstown (7f, good) in August and excuses following month when disappointing favourite at Fairyhouse (ground, too keen and not clear run); drops in grade for AW return, Keane booked. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who performed with great credit on all five starts last season, finishing second at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) on his reappearance and beaten just a neck in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) when last seen; has had wind surgery since; no surprise if he makes a bold bid on this return. |
16/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Front-runner; the winner of four of his last six starts, notably a game effort at Doncaster six days ago (6.5f, good to soft); a 5lb penalty for that hard-fought short-head success demands more but his fine attitude and abundant stamina will stand him in good stead on a rare 6f outing. |

Campaigned only over 7f-1m; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) on seasonal debut, registering a first win since joining current yard; back up 5lb but remains well treated on peak form and he's 2-3 at Pontefract; should remain competitive, provided he stays the new trip. |

Modest strike-rate (2-29) but she did go mightily close over 7f at Southwell in September; subsequent turf efforts at York and Doncaster (both Class 4) were okay and she ran to a similar level back on AW latest; first go over 1m2f since the summer of 2023. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made a winning debut as a 2yo but beaten on his next 23 starts; revitalised by a drop into Class 5 company though, winning 7f handicaps at Haydock and Doncaster (impressed in a good Topspeed figure); up 7lb for last time but still has some handicapping scope. |

6/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Six-time winner but his last success was in August 2022; on much reduced mark and was creditable third at Beverley (1m2f; tongue-tie added) in July but he was beaten 13l at Ripon last time and that took his losing run to 20; down the list. |
12/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |

Much lower in the weights than for the latest of five wins in 2022 and ran well when third of 14 behind a couple of dead-heaters (including Star Start) at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last time; each-way claims again despite a losing run of 19. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |

Ended 2025 in poor form but he built up a head of steam to take a late fourth on his recent Pontefract return (1m, good); now 4lb lower than his Haydock win (1m, good to firm) last August so weighted to be competitive. |

Now 4lb lower than for his win at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last summer and he wasn't beaten far on his reappearance at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago; should get a decent tow into this race and has claims if he can build on that last run. |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Inconsistent and winless across his first 17 starts before scoring in first-time tongue-tie/blinkers at Thirsk (1m, good) three weeks ago; needs to back up that latest performance but he won with something to spare and a 5lb rise may not stop him if the headgear maintains its positive effect. |

His last two wins were over 7f in 2024 but he's well treated on his old form and he ran well on a few occasions at up to 1m2f last season; seems to handle most ground and he needs watching in market after six months off; cheekpieces removed. |

More modest runs than good ones in 2025 but he did bolt up at Doncaster last June (6f, good to firm) and he is 4lb lower now; needs to leave his reappearance effort well behind him and he has finished down the field in his two visits here. |

Fine looker, and for all that he's an infrequent winner (2-35), was once rated in the 90s; placed in a Class 4 over C&D (from 10lb higher) last June but he's been steadily regressive since; safer options elsewhere. |
