23rd May 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Very smart performer who has seen a lot of the world; Group 3 scorer in Britain and Group/Grade 2 winner in UAE/USA; beaten favourite in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket most recently but wasn't disgraced on form; major contender back down in class, even with 7lb penalty. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
On a losing run and he looked rusty after eight months off when tenth of 14 in 1m2f handicap at York on his return 20 days ago; this C&D winner can take a step forward here. |
7/1 |

Potentially very well handicapped but that's for a reason as last season was mostly underwhelming; off since November. |

Two wins last year, the latest at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in September off 8lb higher than today; beaten about only 3l when ninth of 16 at York (1m, good) 46 days ago and now drops in grade on his return to AW. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won a 6f Catterick handicap in June 2024 (good to soft); best run this time when beaten a nose at Ripon in June (6f, good); poor efforts either side of that; not easy to predict. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Missed out by a nose at Ripon last month (6f, good); 3lb higher in a stronger race but he has been rated much higher in the past; couldn't dismiss. |

Now 4lb lower than for his Catterick success 12 months ago; made a promising return at that track in April before plenty went wrong back there two weeks later; cheekpieces back on today; betting can help. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
5-10 over hurdles, including wins under Freddie Keighley at Fontwell (2m1f) and Taunton (2m3f, good) on two of his last three outings; respected even though he's never raced over this far (he worked his way to the front late on for that 2m3f win) and has been raised another 5lb. |
4/1 |

1st 2 |
26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful Flat stayer who won his first three starts over hurdles (2m-2m1f) last summer but he's been held back in this sphere in last three runs; mark is falling and he is still unexposed over hurdles but needs to raise his game back in trip; all of his hurdle wins have been on good but he seems versatile ground-wise. |

12th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner but he arrives well below par, beating only one in 1m Kempton AW handicap 29 days ago; he needs to get back on track. |
7/1 |
|
10th 4 (11) |
14th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Two AW wins this year, one over C&D, and he ran well for a close fourth at Ascot on his penultimate start; poorly drawn when disappointing at Goodwood 11 days ago and he's stuck out wide here too. |
10/1 |
|
9th 14 (16) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Won over 1m on Polytrack in April and June; ran on well for a close fourth at Ascot (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, which is easily the best of his three turf appearances this year and needs respect, but he'd have more to prove on good to firm. |

28th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Seven-race maiden; ran respectably under Billy Loughnane when third of six over C&D (first-time cheekpieces) two weeks ago; place prospects again but more required if he's to break his duck. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
13th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Six-race maiden; gelded prior to a below-par effort on Tapeta five days ago; best efforts when making the frame twice on Polytrack; could go well in first-time headgear returned to this surface. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (4) |
8th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Handy sort whose two best efforts have come in Chelmsford novices over this trip, finishing second of nine in September and fourth of ten in November; gelded during his two-month absence and wouldn't need to improve much to play a part. |

14th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Fair form in three starts last year, culminating in fourth of ten in a Wolverhampton novice (8.6f, Tapeta) in September; returns from six months off having been gelded in the meantime and has the ability to find a race, but he meets rivals who may be open to a bit more improvement. |

C&D winner in 2022 for previous yard, then had a long absence; far from solid on his form for current stable; chance partly depends on how well he responds to added cheekpieces. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prevailed narrowly at Newbury last time, taking record to 5-28 and confirming that he's well suited by fast ground; back up 3lb but remains well handicapped on peak form and is a dual C&D winner; good third in this race last year; one of the main players. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

6th 6 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |

16/1 |

5th 3 (8) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Often makes the running but came from towards rear under Harry Vigors to win a six-runner race at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on latest outing; that broke a long losing run but he's usually competitive and has won over C&D; player. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |

Handles most ground but his two turf wins have on soft and good to soft; last success was off 1lb higher on Polytrack in January but he's been out of sorts since then and was never involved at Doncaster three weeks ago; cheekpieces are now added and he needs to get back on track. |

Second of 29 in the Britannia Handicap (1m) at Royal Ascot and fair third of six in hot Listed race at Newmarket (1m) last time; this 3yo may have more to offer now back down in trip but a clear career best is needed. |

13th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Stablemate of Embesto; showed useful form in handicaps last month, winning easily at Kempton (7f, AW) then close second in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); worth a crack at this level. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 8 (3) |
22nd Jun 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Well backed when sluicing home in a Kempton handicap two weeks ago but that was his second win over 7f on the AW and not only is he 0-4 on grass, he's also unraced at 1m; when also factoring in the 11lb rise since last time, there are a few doubts to overcome; sold for £260,000 on Monday. |
