17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Losing run goes back to last December but he's dropped down the weights and his recent narrow defeat against a smart rival at York (5f, soft; has won at about 6f and on good) was a cracking effort; back up 3lb on course debut but he should be very competitive. |
11/4 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to score this term but he's hinted he can put that right, his latest fourth at Beverley (5f, soft) being another such example; return to 6f is no bother and he won't mind how the ground is riding; career-low mark. |
11/2 |
|
4th 11 (11) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Yet to score this term but his sixth of 21 at the Ebor festival (6f, good to firm) indicated he might be rediscovering his level; that didn't prove the case at Windsor last time but he's too well handicapped to ignore and rain would certainly not hinder him. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 on the AW, but has gone very close on Tapeta on three occasions; 2lb lower than when beaten a head in a 0-110 contest over C&D in August and if able to reproduce that sort of form he would have a good chance. |
7/1 |
|
6 (4) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his lengthy losing run when winning a 7f handicap at Haydock in July; similar form on a couple of occasions since and he ran creditably in a hot 6f handicap at York two weeks ago; one to consider back down into Class 3 company. |
9/1 |
|
17 (11) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Not the force of old (won the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2022) but he ended a long losing run at Haydock (7f, good) in July and went down only narrowly at Newcastle in August; however, he should have fared better at Ascot last time and he's been unplaced on both his previous outings at York. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Has had nine wins, the latest when scoring over C&D in March off his highest winning mark; a decent third at Kempton (6f, AW) last Wednesday but requires a career best off 3lb higher than when last successful. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Has a record of 5-15 on AW and ran well over C&D in March when bidding for a hat-trick; not certain to be in the same form, however, having subsequently posted two duck eggs upped to Class 2 level. |
20/1 |
|
12th 8 (7) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Reliable operator on AW, which saw his mark rise before he was below form at Newcastle (33-1) in June latest, after three months off; he's effective at this track (including a win under 7lb claimer) but his 2025 turf form isn't good enough. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three good runs over the winter (two of them from five runs in Bahrain) but he has struggled in two 7f runs back in Britain since April; handicapper slow to relent and this step up to 1m isn't sure to spark a revival. |
16/1 |
|
13th 6 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
7yo who was well beaten in Bahrain and at Chester on his last two starts; however, he was drawn wide at Chester and showed some good form in Bahrain in January; he's run really well on both previous attempts at this C&D and is not ruled out each-way off a competitive mark. |
20/1 |
|
12th 3 (10) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Campaigned back in Bahrain since December, best efforts when placed twice over 6f; well treated on historical data but hasn't won a domestic race since 2023; returns to 7f for first time since last July. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Six-time AW winner in Britain and some very solid handicap efforts here early in the year; off since May but not hard to make a case for overall. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 1lb |
All six wins have been gained on AW; in good form at Dundalk last winter, soft ground probably wasn't ideal on turf comeback (slowly away) over C&D early this month and fair bit to find with Gleneagle Bay on that run. |

7th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Both turf wins on soft and won a Listed race on AW in November; ducks and dives regarding the trip but he nearly made his first 6f turf handicap a winning one at Goodwood recently; back up 4lb but has course form at 7f; interesting. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won the International at Ascot and a 6.5f course handicap on soft at the St Leger meeting in a very good 2023 campaign; has failed to hit the same heights this year but now dangerously well handicapped and recent efforts have been a bit better. |
11/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
4th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
He's had a disappointing campaign but has dropped down the weights and took a big step back in the right direction in first-time blinkers (retained) when a close fourth at Ripon (6f, soft) last Saturday, having been slowly away; this course winner may be able to build on that latest performance. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
28th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
It's been a struggle for him so far this year, including back under favourable conditions at Doncaster 13 days ago, but he's down to a good mark and possible the switch to blinkers will pique his interest. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Has run a couple of decent races in defeat since joining this yard but latest two efforts over 6f at Naas were disappointing; has dropped to a very dangerous mark but that's for a reason and losing run stretches back to 2023. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Useful on his day and is a stone below last winning mark but looks far from sure to take advantage, having failed to beat a rival in latest start; yet to score on AW. |
14/1 |
|
6 (11) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
7-36 on turf and 0-15 on the AW, albeit in the frame on 12 occasions; 2lb lower than when chasing home Al Ameen over C&D in May, but has a high draw so others are preferred for win purposes. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (11) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Patchy form since last win over a year ago and cheekpeices now replaced by first-time visor; edging down the weights but may find one or two too good from double-figure draw. |
