11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Cheekpieces enlisted this season and the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot (2m5f) brought a heavy defeat but otherwise he's been in career-best form; latest instance was his second of 15 at Glorious Goodwood (2m4f; finished strongest); needs to build on that handicap form on this first crack at a Group race but he has claims in a weak renewal. |
16/1 |

2nd 5 (17) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Cheekpieces enlisted for last three starts, winning on first occasion and good sixth in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good); 16-1 for Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot (2m5f) six weeks ago but weakened right out of it in the last half-mile; that was his first race on firmer than good since start of career three years ago, so there's a big question mark about the ground. |
16/1 |

8th 2 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Good strike-rate of 7-17 and he should have brighter prospects than some of staying this extreme trip given he wasn't stopping at the end of the Chester Cup over an extended 2m2f last time; has raised his game in cheekpieces (fitted in only his last two races) and he could outrun his odds if coping okay with fast ground. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fairly useful at his best on the Flat and made promising start to hurdling career when clear third of 11 over C&D (good) last month; contender if able to build on that performance. |
3/1 |

3rd 2 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A fairly useful 1m4f Flat winner for Harry Charlton in 2024; not so good in that sphere for his current yard and came in last of six in 1m6f Newmarket handicap 15 days ago; hurdle debut. |
16/1 |

6th 3 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won five in a row at around 1m4f on turf/AW for the Charltons between September 2023 and July 2024; suffered heavy defeats on first three starts back from an absence for new yard and latest second of three at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) in this headgear combination was no big step back in the right direction as he was beaten 8l. |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time AW winner, including twice abroad; placed in all three starts since rejoining Mick Appleby and should go well again with no questions over his stamina. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Back with his old yard following a spell in France and has run a couple of solid races in defeat for them off a career-low mark, albeit he's enjoyed the run of things each time; boasts a patchy record round here but enters calculations. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Rejoined Mick Appleby before reappearing with a good second at Yarmouth (1m6f, good) 12 days ago; has a patchy profile but he's on the same mark as last time and his last win was over nearly 2m in France (AW) in March; respected with Oisin Murphy booked. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Third over 1m6f at Redcar on penultimate start but the bottom line is that he has not won since July 2023; what might offer hope is that, in a 56-race career, this is the first time he's had his tongue tied. |
10/1 |

6th 6 (5) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ran a bit better from reduced mark when third over 1m6f at Redcar 47 days ago but it's now over three years since he last tasted success. |
