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. |
11/2 |
|
7th 1 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Can front-run; 1m wins here last April and in 17-runner race at the York Ebor meeting in August, with his two seconds at Ascot in between including the Royal Hunt Cup; last two outings leave him with a bit to prove, as they were 1m1f, but it's not too hard to excuse them and he is a strong contender. |
9/2 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive in 1m handicaps, going close twice in a row at Ascot (including the Royal Hunt Cup) before winning the Clipper Handicap here (good to firm) on Thursday, doing it in good style having had to wait for a clear run; this would be a very quick turnaround but he has Group-race potential. |

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. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 19 (22) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Useful handicapper at about 1m, winning five times; did well to finish third in the Lincoln at Doncaster in sole outing this term, having come from a difficult position; each-way possibilities, provided he copes with the drop back to 7f for first time since his early days. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 18 (21) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Inconsistent last season but he ran a big race first time up when runner-up at Newmarket (1m, good) and he won at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) in August; versatile ground-wise and he might not be far away on his reappearance, for a yard that won this in 2023. |

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 |
9st 6lb |
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. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Has a modest strike-rate for current yard but is technically unexposed over today's trip; creditable second at Musselburgh (12.5f) in May in sole attempt beyond 1m2f; could go well off bottom weight. |
9/1 |
|
5th 13 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Unlike him to miss the break as last time and had been running well from 1m1f to 1m4f; the concerns are that he does look high enough in the weights and this is tougher than usual. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 (11) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Returned to winning ways at Musselburgh (1m1f, good; from 4lb lower) in April and runner-up twice since, stamina seemingly overstretched behind the thriving Alpine Sierra at Musselburgh (12.5f) latest; enters calculations back over a more suitable 8.5f. |

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. |
16/1 |
|
13th 1 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Disappointing at Epsom a fortnight ago but won on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) last month and he has a very solid record at this track, featuring a C&D win and 2l fourth in this last year; could bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
17th 8 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Versatile regarding ground and he was winning his 12th race when beating Jimmy Speaking and Final Night at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; that was a comfortable win and he has the assistance of Ryan Moore but this demands more from him (has never won off a mark this high). |

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. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Placed three consecutive times before leading close home to open account at Nottingham (1m2f, good; front pair clear) on Wednesday, carries 5lb penalty here but should be fine on the forecast slower ground; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-17 but he's finished in the first three on 11 occasions, including in each of his three starts this year; beaten a neck here over 8.5f last summer and he's a solid contender once again. |

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. |

17th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |

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. |
