20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Failed to kick on after winning this last year (good to firm) but he returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) when runner-up at Ascot (1m, good to firm) recently; won on soft ground early in career; firmly in the mix if backing up that latest performance. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Strong handicap form last summer, runner-up in both Ascot runs (1m, straight course) before landing a valuable prize at York's Ebor meeting; only 1lb higher today after a couple of low-key runs in May; interesting with cheekpieces now given a go. |
4/1 |
|
12th 3 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Can front-run; had 1m wins at Newmarket and York last season, with two seconds at Ascot in between including the Royal Hunt Cup; makes plenty of appeal on that evidence but needs to bounce back from an underwhelming reappearance when second favourite at Newmarket two weeks ago. |

6th 6 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has contested the Lincoln, Victoria Cup and Golden Mile this year, looking unlucky in first two and blowing the start in last-named; very dangerous if everything clicks, although his stamina for this longer trip has to be taken on trust (well held on both previous attempts at 1m1f/1m2f). |
10/1 |
|
12th 17 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Comes with a degree of risk as he's often slowly away and needs the cards to drop right; however, form this term includes placed efforts in two major handicaps, while Goodwood record comprises a creditable sixth in this race 12 months ago and success next time; this may be the day to catch him, with renowned hold-up wizard Jamie Spencer up for first time. |
6/1 |
|
6th 15 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Five-time winner at about 1m; creditable third, despite traffic issues, in major handicaps at Doncaster and Ascot (7f) this term; possibilities off same mark back up in distance, provided this race pans out better. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who finished runner-up in his only previous go over C&D, but that was in 2020; exclusively campaigned over 1m these days and is on a losing run of 23, so has enough to prove. |
16/1 |
|
6th 11 (7) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
10yo whose losing sequence goes back 19 runs to 2020; ran some big races last season but seen only twice this year (both Goodwood), failing to build on comeback sixth (Linwood third) when down the field three weeks ago. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Returned to form to win over here over 7f a week ago, beating six rivals; a 5lb penalty still leaves him on a handy mark based on last year's form and he's relatively unexposed on the AW; contender with the step back up to 1m no concern. |
3/1 |
|
6 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
On a reduced mark but he's been well held in his last five runs and is now 0-17 since his last win in August 2024; withdrawn after refusing to enter the stalls at Kempton last week, but he was 7-2 at the time. |
11/2 |

5 (3) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

On a reduced mark but he's not been on top form in 2025; drops back down in grade today but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

2nd 8 (13) |
3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Cashed in on much-reduced mark when justifying support at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in April; several creditable efforts since, including fourth (Star Start second) in a similar race at Ripon (1m3f, soft) under Daniel Perrrin on Monday. |
7/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Cashed in on much-reduced mark when justifying support at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in April; several creditable efforts since including when a 2l fifth of 11 at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last time; should be in the mix again and he's versatile ground-wise. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks. |
12/1 |
|
7th 10 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned mostly at the Newmarket tracks this term, winning in May and respectable third last time; has shown versatility in the past but looks weighted to the hilt off current mark and this step back up in class adds to the difficulty. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (10) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Successful twice this summer and ran creditably when favourite last time; still on career-high mark but is a consistent sort who again holds a solid chance. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
This is a classier race than he's accustomed to but he's been in fine form since returning from a break and it was comfortable over C&D a month ago; 6lb rise demands another career best but couldn't put it past him. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Record is only 1-19 but the success, at Nottingham, is among his recent form and puts him 1-1 under Oisin Murphy; ran creditably a few days later and remains a consistent sort; rested over five weeks since that last run; solid claims. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Placed on stable debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in early May but two lesser efforts have followed and he remains without a win since 2022; raced too freely in a visor on latest outing; cheekpieces tried here. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (2) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run goes back to 2022; did make a positive start for new yard when third (A Major Payne fifth) at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last month but a subsequent no-show at Leicester needs forgiving; now sports a combination of a refitted tongue-tie and first-time visor. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run goes back to 2022 but he has course form (7f) and new yard has inherited one who's dropped a long way in the weights; looked to be on the way back when third at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) this month; good claims. |

Twice well held at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) since winning from 1lb lower over C&D (well behind Metallo on the first occasion); needs to bounce back in the first-time cheekpieces. |

Registered a Class 4 success at Chelmsford last month on third start for new yard, taking his 1m2f form figures to 421; upped a couple of grades but may have more to offer at this distance. |
