28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
2-8 on Flat for the Gosdens, gelded before showing useful form twice (once on Tapeta) staying on over 1m6f last September/October; sold for 200,000gns in October into the premier jumps yard and made his hurdle debut in the Triumph at Cheltenham no less, showing his jumping inexperience however and pulled up at 150-1; this should be much more his cup of tea. |

Reserve; two AW wins last year for Gosden yard (1m4f/1m6f); 0-5 on Flat turf and pulled up on stable/hurdle debut in March when thrown in at deep end in the Triumph; however, his top Irish jumps trainer has won the last two runnings of this race (also saddles Charlus) and he could have a part to play. |

11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Short-head winner at the other Newmarket track (1m6f, good to firm; made all) on second start this term and nearly made it 3-3 under Saffie Osborne at Goodwood (1m6f, good; led over 1f out) later in May, holding Dancing In Paris by a short head but pipped by subsequent Royal Ascot winner French Master; up 2lb today, as is Dancing In Paris, and looks a leading contender. |

24th May 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Immediately back to best with his two runs this season, tenaciously making all for a short-head win at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) on latest; that made it 2-2 under Saffie Osborne; 5lb higher today; big question to answer were the ground softer than good but he otherwise looks set to run well. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Dual hurdle winner who is 0-4 in handicaps; however, he should be on a fair mark given the level of his Flat ability and he ran quite well in a valuable Newmarket handicap at the Guineas meeting; player. |
9/4 |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Had underwhelming hurdle and AW campaigns before his second of five when returned to Flat turf at Beverley (2m) 18 days ago; this demands markedly better and his 2024 and 2025 turf records aren't that persuasive. |
25/1 |

2nd 1 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 32y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Second to Sax Appeal over C&D and successful over 1m6f at Wolverhampton (both off 2lb higher than today) last July; it's hard to be enthused by his more recent efforts, including well held at Newcastle on Good Friday, but this is a much less competitive scenario. |

12st 0lb |
Four-time Flat winner for Michael Bell, rated 78 at his peak; best form on good/good to firm and has been soundly beaten in three hurdle starts for this stable; potentially interesting if the ground is not too slow. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
3yo who made all in good style at Newbury (13.2f, good) last month and was a good second at Ascot (2m, good) seven days later; flopped at Glorious Goodwood but the track/busy spell were possible excuses and she could bounce back with a bold show following a 17-day break. |

9st 6lb |
Won three of her six handicaps; scored comfortably from the front at Newbury (1m5f, good) 12 days ago and beat all except the hot favourite at Ascot (2m, good) five days ago; up another 2lb but the step back down in trip asks the chief question. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Kempton (2m, AW) in March and solid third there (2m, AW) last month; rarely seen on turf nowadays but he was effective on grass early in his career (particularly on slow ground); visor replaces cheekpieces; respected. |
7/2 |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Not as good now but the handicapper's been quick to ease off and he showed the right attitude to end a losing run over C&D 12 days ago; a 2lb rise seems fair and that won't have hurt his confidence. |
