19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Ayr Silver Cup off a 5lb lower mark; has not had much luck this year, banging his head in the stalls in the Wokingham and then suffering a slipped saddle at Goodwood three weeks ago; for one so well suited by 6f and slow ground, today's test may be insufficient. |

All wins over 6f (on soft and good ground) and he's 0-5 at 5f; can lead; 5lb higher than when winning the Ayr Silver Cup (soft) last September but Jack Callan claims 3lb and forget Ascot last month as he banged his head on the stalls; however, at this trip others are preferred. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Soft-ground specialist but it was good ground he won on when snapping a two-year losing sequence at Musselburgh (5f) one month ago; was found to have bled from the nose that day and subsequently gelded; up 2lb but his 2yo form would make him a good thing off this mark should that signal a resurgence. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Useful 2yo; it has been a struggle more recently but he is dropping down the weights and appeals as the type to come good soon; that may coincide with him tackling slower ground though. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Lightly raced 3yo who posted a personal best when winning over C&D at the Ebor meeting (good to firm); far from disgraced when sixth of 25 in the Ayr Gold Cup (soft) last month, finishing second in the near-side group; 2lb lower today and still has untapped potential; very interesting back at York and looks the one to beat. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive 2yo, including on soft; improved run by run this year, getting off the mark for the season with a doughty effort at York's Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm); that run promised more and although he's not well in under his 5lb penalty, he looks the type to make up into a Pattern-race performer; easy to see him in the thick of it. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Lightly raced 3yo; ended 2yo campaign with a fine third in the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy (6f, soft); seemed rusty here first time out this term but ran promisingly when fourth of 14 at Hamilton (6f, good) next time; anything but exposed and represents a yard in top form; high on the list. |

Sole win was in a Newmarket novice (6f, good to firm) in June but he's run some good races when highly tried since including a front-running third of six in Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, heavy) last month; just about sets the standard at the weights and he's strongly respected on this drop in class. |

Record of 2-6, with his wins in a Chepstow maiden (6f, good to soft) and Windsor novice (6f, good to firm); ran another good race when runner-up in Yarmouth nursery last time but he needs more progress to make a serious impact in this company; cheekpieces added. |

Chased home a smart prospect at Nottingham in June before making all for an emphatic win at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) last month; disappointing under a penalty at Newcastle (Tapeta) last time but his best efforts have been on turf so far and he's a key player on his penultimate form; dangerous back in this sphere. |

Sole win in a Beverley maiden over two years ago but he only just failed to gain a first handicap win when touched off by Justcallmepete over C&D (good to firm) in May; some way below that level in Diligently's race here the following month, though, and others are higher up the list. |

Still seeking a first handicap success but he has gone close in two of his three runs for Robert Cowell, beaten a short head over C&D three weeks ago (good to firm); slower ground would be no issue but he will need a bit more to defy this 2lb higher mark. |
