1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
No win since 2022 but has a pretty solid record over 2m here, most recently when beaten just under 3l on penultimate start; second in the 2022 Cesarewitch over 2m2f but he came 11th in the last two renewals of this race; worse than good to soft ground looks against him. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Useful on his day; no win since 2022 but has shaped encouragingly at Chelmsford (1m6f) and Goodwood (2m) this term, staying on both times; can't be dismissed off current mark. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Finished fourth in this race last year, then second here next time; ran encouragingly in AW event on reappearance; capable of being involved but is badly out of the winning habit, with losing spell going back to 2022. |

9st 0lb |
Came good on Flat last autumn with 2m wins at Ascot (good) and Newmarket (good to soft); more to prove on soft, as her latest start (heavy defeat at Ascot) confirms but she was in good form going into that; usual cheekpieces are replaced by a visor. |

Came good on Flat last autumn with 2m wins here (good) and at Newmarket (good to soft; more to prove on soft); seconds this month at Chester and York confirm she's a big player if the ground is okay. |

Winless since a successful debut at two when with Andrew Balding; hasn't beaten many since returning for this yard and his last 16 starts have been over further. |

Still without a win since making a successful debut as a 2yo; ran creditably both starts here (2021) but hasn't beaten many since returning for this yard in April, including when last of three on penultimate start, so others have more pressing claims. |

29th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Completed a four-timer over 1m4f/1m6f on Polytrack at the end of 2021; 0-14 since, but he's finished a respectable fourth at Kempton (2m) in his last two runs and is now 1lb lower than for last win; shouldn't far away. |

Completed a four-timer over 1m4f/1m6f on Polytrack at the end of 2021; 0-13 since, but was back off his last winning mark when a close fourth of 12 over C&D in January (runner-up has won since); possibilities in the returning blinkers. |

Winless since 2021 but his AW record is a solid one and he shaped nicely after a break when fourth of seven over an inadequate 1m4f at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; returns to a more suitable trip and high on the list. |

27th Aug 2022 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Useful bumper winner; showed plenty on good ground in his qualifying runs when switched to the Flat and runner-up at Ffos Las (1m6f, good to soft) early this month when 10-11 in his first handicap; it looked like he had more to offer but he was a disappointing favourite over 2m here yesterday. |

dwelt start, midfield, shaken up over 3f out, ridden and weakened from over 2f out (trainer said gelding was unsuited by the undulating nature of the track) |

9st 12lb |
Won four-runner race at Beverley (2m, soft) in July but out of form since; soundly beaten last time in the Cesarewitch here for the third year running; well handicapped if this proved one of his good days. |

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Well beaten in this race in 2021 and 2022 and even further adrift in the Trial three weeks ago on his only other race at Newmarket; good ground for all three of those was probably not ideal and he'd be well handicapped if this proved one of his best days, but others look more solid. |

26th Aug 2022 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
3yo who won handicaps at Redcar, Sandown, Nottingham, Doncaster and Ascot this May-July (first of those was on good to soft, rest on good or good to firm) and relishes 2m; that was huge improvement, not nearly enough to give him a leading role in Group 2 at York last week but he appeared to run well in fifth of six; should have more to offer back in handicaps. |
