11th 2 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Excelled in top handicaps at York and Newmarket in 2023, including with a C&D win in the Cambridgeshire (good to firm; 3lb lower today); however, he only once threatened to hit those heights in 2024 and, after wind surgery, missed all of 2025; that leaves him with a 658-day absence to overcome but his handicap mark has been slashed. |
40/1 |

12th 1 (14) |
13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Has a very lofty mark and hasn't been at his best the last twice but he excelled in big-field handicaps last year, finishing second in this (good to soft) and posting wins over C&D (good to firm) and in the Cesarewitch (1m1f, good to firm; off 4lb lower); not necessarily handicapped out of things. |

6th Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Below par in 1m2f Listed race at Royal Ascot last time and his best form has come over shorter than this; however, he kept on okay on his first encounter with 1m4f in at Group 2 at Newmarket in May and he's just 2lb higher than when winning the 1m1f Cambridgeshire last September; not ruled out. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Has proved an excellent buy by connections, notably winning the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) last September; showed he can mix it at Group level when second in the Group 3 Earl Of Sefton back at Newmarket (1m1f, good) in April; never-dangerous fourth in Group 2 there (1m4f) last month but he ran well enough to think he's still in form; each-way claims. |

4th 1 (6) |
3rd May 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Stays 1m2f and suited by good/firmer; has two notable pieces of 1m1f form at this course, namely success in the 2023 Cambridgeshire and creditable second in the Earl of Sefton last month; major player on ratings but has stamina to prove over this new trip. |
