1st 7 (9) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Confirmed trailblazer who has won 13 races in his career (six on AW), but has finished out of the frame in all six starts over C&D; blinkers go on for the first time on his 86th start; others preferred. |
11/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
One of the faster sprinters in training and he belatedly got off the mark for the year with a front-running win at Wolverhampton 17 days ago; 6lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out. |
8/1 |

1st 1 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Trailblazing sprinter who got no peace up front when beaten favourite in a Racing League handicap last time; ran a stormer the time before at Haydock and should give it a good shot from stall 3; has form here. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a hat-trick on the AW early last year, the final leg off 2lb lower; back in form lately, most recently in a race that didn't pan out his way, but needs a bit more back on turf from the lowest stall (likely to be dropped in again). |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Awarded Lingfield handicap in early 2025 before going 2-2 over this C&D; just four starts since the latest of those wins last March and firmly back on track when edged out at Chelmsford one month ago; 2lb nudge can't be quibbled with and he needs considering. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Notched a hat-trick in the first three months of last year, latterly off a 1lb lower mark; not as good now but remains consistent enough and unlikely to be far away. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Front-running Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since then and had experienced many reverses before being placed in two Irish 7f Group 3 races this term; made much of the running when second on soft ground here in June; similar scenario when third at the Curragh last month; likely to be in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since but his runner-up finish in a Leopardstown Group 3 showed definite signs of encouragement (7f, soft) when ridden by Keane for the first time; his wins came on good so if he repeats that latest run he is firmly in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
9st 9lb |
Group 1 Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since and ran poorly in Dubai in three starts this year; didn't fare any better at Haydock 33 days ago, fading tamely; hard to be positive about him currently. |

4th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner of much higher marks in the summer of 2022 including this race; 1-23 since, though, and tardy starts have become a habit (blindfold off late the last twice); 5lb below last winning mark so certainly well handicapped, but risky. |
10/1 |
|
11th 13 (12) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
This mark in range but he hasn't found his best form so far this year (had blindfold issues behind Castan latest); this looks a tough race in which to bounce back. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Hasn't won for a good while now but subsequent Newcastle run confirmed he retains a good chunk of ability and he was drawn wide last time at Chester; appealingly handicapped and enjoys slow ground, so unwise to ignore. |
11/1 |
|
8th 8 (9) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
On a long losing run but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and his latest Newcastle run confirmed he retains a good chunk of ability, surging to the front 1f out but failing to see out the stiff 7f; this easier test should suit and he can't be discounted. |
10/1 |
|
4th 8 (12) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Slow starter; on a long losing run; creditable effort at Chester four weeks ago but this stiff 7f isn't sure to suit. |
20/1 |
