23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from a break with good third at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last month; his peak efforts have come on AW but he's lightly raced on turf, on which he's shown promise, and he could have a part to play. |
6/1 |

3rd 3 (11) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
3lb lower than when winning here (1m4f) in September 2024 and ran well to finish fourth of ten in a 0-105 contest over C&D (first-time blinkers, now removed) in January but a five-month break and high draw do pose questions. |
9/1 |

4th 10 (8) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Creditable second at Southwell (1m4f) in September but has failed to repeat the form in two outings over the same C&D since; defied a 2lb higher mark at Kempton in 2024 and receives weight all round in this field, so has possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Has raced only four times on turf, with a soft-ground win on first occasion but lesser shows since, already dropping out when he was hampered in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last time (50-1; pulled up); reliable and progressive on AW, surging to new heights with his two handicap wins (1m6f/2m) this March/April, but he's now 8lb higher than for latest win. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Has raced only three times on turf, with a soft-ground win on first occasion but lesser shows since, including at this meeting on good ground two years ago; on the other hand he's been reliable and progressive on AW, surging to new heights with his two handicap wins this March/April; latest was for a big prize at Newcastle (2m) and he did it in good style, so he's not miles away on ratings today but still has a lot to prove. |

10st 0lb |
Had three of these behind when winning this last year off 11lb lower (good to firm); looks even better now, probably not seen to best effect behind Sportingsilvermine at Newmarket before a sterling effort at Glorious Goodwood over an inadequate 1m2f; likes it here and he's hard to knock. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Runner-up in 2024 on his only appearance at this track; reliable sort who hit new heights over 1m4f on last three outings, so this drop back in trip asks a question but he needs respect. |

3rd 7 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Reliable and progressive on a variety of ground and courses, although has never raced at Newmarket; third in this race last year; hit new heights at Epsom (1m4f) on last two outings and makes each-way appeal. |

Thrice-raced filly who won over 1m3f in France; absent since running respectably in Ascot novice event (1m4f, good) last October on British debut; remains open to further improvement and is an interesting prospect for handicaps this term. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
C&D winner in 2022; an underwhelming 2024 campaign for new yard was swept aside when he came from last to first in a nine-runner race at Epsom (1m2f, heavy) last September, scoring in tidy fashion with first-time cheekpieces (kept since); however, pulled up lame in the November Handicap next time and tailed off at Epsom sole run this year. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
An underwhelming campaign for new yard was swept aside when he came from last to first in a nine-runner race over C&D (heavy; his only visit here) last September, scoring in tidy fashion with first-time cheekpieces and never better; pulled up lame off this 5lb higher mark in the November Handicap on sole run since; good soft-ground record before that and won sole run on good to soft; considered if he gets that ground. |
22/1 |

9th Nov 2024 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |

His underwhelming campaign for new yard was swept aside when he came from last to first in a nine-runner race at Epsom (1m2f, heavy) six weeks ago, scoring in tidy fashion with first-time cheekpieces and never better; 5lb higher today and not proven over this far, but that win built on a good soft-ground record and he has won at 1m3f, so he enters calculations. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Doing surprisingly well over fences as he's not bred for them; he might just be a shade high in the weights now after his hat-trick bid came up shy in a three-runner race but he must still have some sort of chance on ground he handles. |
3/1 |

2nd 4 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Not bred for fences but has collected small-field chase wins on soft ground at Plumpton (2m1f) and Fontwell (2m2f) in recent weeks, and may be even better suited by the forecast good ground on this hat-trick attempt. |
4/5 |

1st 3 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |

Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with his sole win over hurdles; ended a losing run when winning over fences at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) last time, off a 4lb lower mark, but needs to build on that against a couple of progressive rivals. |

Too green to do himself justice at Lingfield on debut last September; big step forward when seeing off 12 rivals (second and third now BHA-rated 80) at Chelmsford one month later; big weight to carry but he's open to further progress. |

Four of his six wins have been at Chester where he nearly won again when last seen 11 months ago; trip/ground fine and on a fair mark, but market confidence would be welcomed after so long out. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |

Has record of 4-10 at Chester and he won this race in 2023; no joy in Bahrain last winter and has mixed record since returned to Britain but he won at Haydock (1m2f, good) in June and was only just caught at Chelmsford last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's respected back at this track. |
4/1 |

8 (2) |
7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring off a reduced mark at Haydock (1m2f, good) in June but he dropped right out in his follow-up bid there two weeks later; now drops back in trip but he's not easy to predict and has had only three AW runs in his 42-race career; others preferred. |
