11st 6lb |
Not in top form since returned to the Flat but solid hurdles record (1121322) suggests a resurgence is likely; ran creditably, albeit fortunate to finish second the way things panned out, in the Champion Hurdle when last seen in this sphere; has the best chance at the weights. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up (albeit fortunate) in the Champion Hurdle in March and easily made all in this last year (soft; seems versatile ground-wise); he enjoyed the run of the race 12 months ago and hasn't shone on his two Flat starts this year, but he drops back in grade today and may once more benefit from an uncontested lead; could make another bold bid now back here. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won the Golden Gates Handicap at this meeting in 2023 (1m2f, good to firm) and was a Listed winner at Newmarket (1m4f, soft) last September; runner-up in the Champion Hurdle in March, albeit fortunate; failed to settle when tailed off back on the Flat at Sandown (2m) last month and this drop back in trip seems a likely plus, but a Flat career best is required. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
AW Listed winner for the Gosdens in November 2024 but he hasn't been near that form since a Listed second last June; second and third places early this year came in small fields and other options look more solid. |

Latest win came in a Listed race over 1m4f here for the Gosdens in November 2024 but he hasn't been at his best in five starts for this yard; needs a major revival. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Smart on the Flat at his best but signed off for Karl Burke with two disappointing runs in the autumn and was rather hesitant at some of the flights when disappointing favourite on last month's stable/hurdle debut; subsequently tailed off in major Flat handicap; may yet get his act together over hurdles but he is very tricky to weigh up at the moment. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won sole start here, a 2022 maiden; smart at 1m3f-1m6f for Roger Varian and Karl Burke but reappearance was easily the best of three runs last year and, after a 21,000gns sale in November, well beaten at 11-10 for hurdles/yard debut two weeks ago; that's not the most promising stepping stone to this. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Really smart Flat campaigner although he was susceptible to the odd aberration; in fine form as recently as last April, when just denied in valuable 1m6f Musselburgh handicap, but last two starts for Karl Burke showed the other side of his coin and left that yard for 21,000gns in November; still rates a fascinating hurdles debutant with the market potentially offering significant clues. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten in Group races on his last ten starts but went close in the Yorkshire Cup at York (1m6f, good to firm) last May and he was a good third in that same Group 2 a fortnight ago (good); he should be fine back up in trip and might not be far away. |

3rd 4 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten a head in this last year, despite a highly tactical race; has held his form well (back in Dubai and Saudi Arabia this January-March) and should again be seriously involved, but to win this may require a career best. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (6) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
In fine form this year over 1m6f-2m at Meydan and in Saudi Arabia and continued the good work when staying on for a close second in a slowly run Group 2 Yorkshire Cup (1m6f, good to firm) in May; no show when 25-1 at Royal Ascot (1m4f) on latest outing but shouldn't be far away in this lesser race if there's a decent pace to aim at. |

Unbeaten in this headgear combination in 11.4f handicaps at Windsor on last three outings; did it comfortably on soft ground before harder work on good to firm while showing improved form again on last two starts; this race, however, is a mighty leap up in class. |

raced in second, led going easily over 2f out, faced challenge and clear with one other when ridden against near rail over 1f out, kept on final 110yds |

20th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |

Came good at fifth attempt, drawing clear inside final furlong to win quite comfortably over C&D (soft) in first-time cheekpieces a fortnight ago; encounters much faster ground and is 6lb higher today but still features prominently in calculations. |
