24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Suited by ground softer than good; proved resurgent last time in Redcar Listed contest he'd won a year earlier; on a workable mark returned to handicap level and Jack Dace takes off a bonus 5lb; shortlisted. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Came good in the mud last autumn, winning an Ascot handicap in September and following up in this race; hasn't come close to that level this season, including back on soft ground in that same Ascot handicap four weeks ago, but still no surprise were he to revive in refitted blinkers. |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Two 7f soft-ground wins last term were kicked off in a similar handicap on the Saturday of this meeting one year ago; followed that up with a Redcar Listed success under Rossa Ryan one month later; hasn't matched that in two starts this term but this tends to be his time of year and he stays 1m; respected down to his last winning mark. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Dual course winner (both 7f, good) who turned in a solid effort when second to a progressive rival on his C&D comeback (nudged up 2lb) in March; happiest coming from off a strong pace and the question is whether this will be run to suit on good to firm ground. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His last two wins have come at this track (7f); returns from a 141-day absence on a good mark, 6lb lower than when second at Royal Ascot last June (7f, good to firm); unplaced in each of his three seasonal debuts but he would have gone close at Leicester on last spring's return had he seen any daylight; the owners also run Sixtygeesbaby, while this 6yo is also one of three runners for David O'Meara. |
11/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Solid record at Doncaster comprises two wins over 7f and two placed efforts, including over 6.5f when a shade unlucky; return to this location looks a plus but the drop back to bare 6f may prove a negative. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Several good efforts in defeat against top 6f handicappers this year but he never shifted much in the weights and the return to soft ground may have made the difference when he made nearly all to win the Ayr Gold Cup recently; serious rain would bring him into the reckoning. |
12/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to win this year but he's run some mighty races in defeat, in the frame in the Stewards' Cup and last week's Portland (only run out of second in the closing stages); should run his race again but there will probably be a few stronger. |
16/1 |

Fourth to stablemate Two Tribes in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood but then ran poorly in another big field at York and doesn't look to have much in hand of the handicapper. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Acts on soft and good to firm; consistent colt whose 2024 form includes a good effort off this mark in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; latest effort can be marked up; very solid contender. |
4/1 |
|
4th 10 (3) |
7th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Acts on soft and good to firm; has remained in form since reappearance win; made the frame in 3yo handicaps at Royal Ascot (1m Britannia) and Glorious Goodwood (7f) the last twice; generally consistent and holds solid claims back against his elders (second attempt). |
9/2 |

4th 6 (4) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Two from two over C&D (soft), including in a nursery at this meeting 12 months ago; good fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) most recently; steadily progressive colt who holds major claims returned to Goodwood, particularly if the ground softens. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Best on good or quicker ground; has progressed as a 4yo, proving a strong finisher over the straight 1m here when winning the Kensington Palace (good to firm; just her second run at the distance) in June; ran flat when returned to 7f in July but this looks more her trip now; can go well. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Won on the other Newmarket course in May (7f, good) and bounced back from lesser run at Epsom to win the 23-runner Kensington Palace Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; this progressive 4yo holds strong claims up 6lb. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Unbeaten as a 2yo but losing run now stands at 15; shaped well over C&D on his stable debut in June (wind op beforehand) but he hasn't built on it twice since; edging down the weights but others appeal more. |

11th 7 (9) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |

Close fourth of 13 at 40-1 on stable debut over C&D in June; failed to build on that at York next time but he continues to edge down the weights and is not discounted on just his second AW start. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Having dropped 1lb below his last winning mark he returned to form when third of 13 over C&D a fortnight ago (good to firm; Final Night second); he can be in the mix back up 1lb if backing up that latest performance. |

3rd 8 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Fine stable servant with 11 wins to his name, although recent efforts have been underwhelming; only seventh of ten at the Craven meeting here and he needs to be revived by the presence of Ryan Moore in the saddle. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Bolted up in last season's Victoria Cup over this C&D (soft) but went missing for 470 days afterwards; out of the frame in both starts since returning (the latest back here) but this race was immediately nominated after his latest outing; likely to have his conditions and should go well. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (6) |
7th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Well suited by drop to 7f in spring 2023, winning two races including soft-ground Victoria Cup here by 4l; subsequently absent until Goodwood two weeks ago when showing clear signs of retaining ability while seeming to need the run; interesting with that reappearance under his belt. |
5/1 |

6th 1 (6) |
25th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

2-2 since dropped to 7f, both wins in spring 2023, latest by 4l in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (soft); now 8lb higher but could well have more to offer at this distance; interesting on return from 15-month absence, particularly if the market speaks favourably. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has course form; ran with great credit in stronger races than this as a 4yo when three wins included one in the Shergar Cup (first run at 1m, good to firm; acts on good to soft) at Ascot; he wasn't the same horse in either of his two runs last year but fared much better when a close third at Redcar last month; major player. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |

Well handicapped on his form in 2024, when he won four times; not written off for good yard and one to watch in the betting after a break, but he ran just twice last year and was well beaten each time; something to prove. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |

Seen only twice, both times on AW, last term for new yard; made a winning reappearance off current mark in this contest (on good ground) two years ago on first start during a brief spell with Charlie Fellowes; fighting chance in repeat bid, assuming he's in top form. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Just 1lb higher than for his Victoria Cup win last term (first run for Charlie Fellowes); midfield at Royal Ascot (Group 1) one month later; absent since a disappointing run on soft ground last September; cheekpieces worn on his last 11 starts are left off on today's stable debut (same owners); interesting, especially if backed. |

Has form on all types of ground; gelded prior to his Victoria Cup success over C&D on stable/seasonal debut, getting up in the final strides; got going too late in 6f Group 1 at Royal Ascot on only start since; still on a workable mark and warrants respect returned to a 7f handicap. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Good 7f handicapper but has achieved his peak RPRs in the last two runnings of the Bunbury Cup, winning in 2024 and going very close in 2025; may be more interesting when going for a third attempt at Newmarket in July; his Ascot record isn't convincing. |

8st 10lb |
Reserve; won the Bunbury Cup (7f, good) last July and went very close in that same race this year (good to firm); should be fine at 1m but those Newmarket efforts have been his standout performances in the last two seasons and it's probably best to look elsewhere; wears a first-time hood. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Defied a higher mark at Glorious Goodwood last season and placed a few times on AW this year (up to April); not in top form since returning from a break and needs to stage a revival. |
