30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Spent last year in the grip of the handicapper after seven wins in 2024; more leniently treated now and ran respectably when sixth of 28 in the 7f Victoria Cup at Ascot; seemed unsuited by drop back to 5f next time; this intermediate trip is probably ideal these days and he commands respect. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Nine course wins to his name from 22 starts here (3-7 over C&D); in good form of late, having spent last year in the grip of the handicapper, but that was over 7f and whether he still has the toe for 5f, at his age off this mark, is the question; yard also runs Woohoo. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran who had raced only over sprint distances until a resurgent effort (second of 18) upped to 7f at Newmarket last time; goes back up in class and seems unlikely to land a Victoria Cup aged ten; gained last five wins, all in 2024, at Hamilton. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Getting on for four years since he last contested a Class 4 handicap; in better form than his figures suggest, having nowhere to go at a crucial stage at Windsor two weeks ago, and he is one to take seriously. |
6/1 |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
C&D win off a 3lb higher mark last July; none too consistent on AW over the winter but it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him bounce back to form returned to turf. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Went down by only a neck over C&D off 1lb higher in January but his two efforts since have been no more than respectable. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Well handicapped on last year's C&D form for Karl Burke but refused to race in April on final outing for that yard and down the field over C&D on recent stable debut, when again awkward at the start; risks attached. |
33/1 |
|
14th 6 (6) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten 16 times since his C&D win in September 2023; has often run well in defeat, including here, but he put a major black mark on his record at Nottingham in April, belatedly leaving the stalls but downing tools and bucking around immediately afterwards; the combination of a subsequent stable switch/wind surgery/change of headgear could all be beneficial and there's no doubt he has the ability to win a race like this; risky but feared. |

18th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Creditable sixth of 28 in the 5f 3yo Palace Of Holyrood House Handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm); not at the same level the next twice but he's not written off, now 3lb lower than at the Royal meeting. |
9/1 |

4th 3 (3) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
No improvement for a sixth furlong and/or slower ground at Newmarket last month; had been threatening something bigger before that though and he's interesting with a stiff 5f likely to suit. |
5/1 |
|
10th 3 (16) |
11th Jul 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Raced exclusively at 5f, on firm ground in the US and on good or faster since joining Richard Fahey; has strongly suggested that a sixth furlong would be beneficial, keeping on stoutly at Royal Ascot three weeks ago, and this mark probably not beyond him; slower ground is an unknown factor but his smart half-brother Kerdos acts on it and his dam recorded her only win on soft; interesting. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time turf winner who won off today's mark at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and a major turnaround is necessary. |
12/1 |

11th 3 (13) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three 5f AW handicaps through the winter but his last three efforts were nothing to shout about; capable on turf but needs to turn a corner. |
14/1 |

9th 10 (6) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
In good form for much of the winter, winning three 5f handicaps, but his form has cooled on his last two starts; others look stronger in this grade. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
C&D winner in 2023; landed a ninth win when scoring at Hamilton last September and finished third to Impressor there (also 5f, soft) last month; reared in stalls and weakened quickly at that venue one week later, though; career-low mark can only help. |
16/1 |

29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won this race off a 12lb higher mark last season (soft); mixed form this season, but creditable third over C&D last time (soft) and having dropped a further 2lb, is a contender. |
9/1 |
|
4 (2) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
8yo who has had a regressive campaign but he showed some spark at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) two starts ago; two-time C&D winner on soft/good to soft so today's conditions will be right up his street; chance. |
6/1 |
