Ended last season with a useful handicap win at Doncaster; below-par favourite at Newmarket on reappearance but is lightly raced and may rater higher still; more interesting than the bare figures suggest. |

17th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Successful over 1m2f but quite a free-goer and looked well suited by the drop back to 1m and being allowed to stride on when making all in 12-runner Doncaster handicap (soft) on final 3yo start; his new triple-figure rating demands a smart handicap performance but this lightly raced 4yo is probably capable of one. |

9st 8lb |
Faded in a 1m Listed race at Saint-Cloud (heavy) in November; had previously won a novice and a handicap (good) at that trip but the return to 7f worked well for him at Doncaster (soft) in October when he was bumped and later met trouble, only just failing against one on the crest of a wave; that strong form gives him solid claims. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; campaigned mostly at 1m but his two efforts this term, including when sixth in the Lincoln here, suggest this return to 7f is worth exploring; good second at Doncaster (soft) 12 months ago; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |

Wrapped up a good 3yo campaign with smart effort for second of 12 in 1m Doncaster handicap (soft) last October; couldn't justify favouritism but still made a respectable return to the track when sixth of 22 in the Lincoln there (1m, good to soft) in March; off a further six months since but evidently capable when fresh and remains with untapped potential. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent sort who made it 1-20 on turf (that grass win came here in 2yo campaign) when well beaten at Royal Ascot last month; however, two starts ago he was a close sixth in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) when he was denied a clear run, and he's not ruled out. |
7/1 |

18th 12 (18) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Eye-catcher, amid traffic issues, in the Thirsk Hunt Cup last time; form over C&D comprises a respectable eighth (off current mark) in this contest last year and creditable third (did well having been hampered) later in 2025; still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf, however. |

Three-time winner, the most recent coming at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in June 2024; placed in each of his last four starts, albeit he was below his best last time, and once again has an each-way chance. |

Last of his three wins came over C&D (good to firm) just over two years ago but he arrives off the back of three solid placed efforts, including when second over C&D ten days ago; mark is creeping back up but he needs considering. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |

Four runs here have yielded two seconds and a win in this race in 2024; down the field in last year's renewal but after some modest efforts he's rediscovered his level of late, going close at Hamilton last month and finishing a close third at Ripon three weeks ago; yard going well and he's in the mix again. |

Getting back on slow ground is a positive and she's 5lb lower than when winning at Haydock (1m, soft) last September, but she hasn't been at the top of her game in a light campaign and a shorter trip may be preferable. |

Usually kept to testing ground; 2lb lower than when winning at Haydock (1m, soft) last September; has not approached that form since and none of her three attempts at 1m2f has gone well, including three months ago on latest start, so there have to be doubts. |

Sole win since joining this yard came in a first-time visor at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in December and he's ran some good races since the cheekpieces went on; didn't get the best of passages at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) nine days ago and can be treated as if still in form; up in grade but could go well. |

Modest 2-26 strike-rate and refused to race once in the autumn; however, he's often run well in competitive races, as when third of 19 at York (1m, good) last July and was hampered next time; creditable return for new yard at Redcar (first-time hood, cheekpieces now refitted) this month; involved. |

Successful twice (1m2f/1m) in Ireland earlier in his career; talented but failed to win in 14 starts for Iain Jardine, including refusing to race on his penultimate outing last year; it's possible a change of stable (same owner) could spark a revival but a watching brief is still the percentage call here; hooded first time. |
