7th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (7f/1m, AW) in March; not at his best in two turf starts this summer but his mark has eased 4lb as a result and his better AW record provides hope for a revival. |

8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (7f/1m, AW) in March; handed tough assignment in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot when back from a break (well beaten) but he's now just 1-17 on turf and others have more compelling credentials; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
10yo who won this in 2023; frequently runs well in quality handicaps and he's 5lb lower than when a cracking third in the Royal Hunt Cup last June; scratched from the Lincoln when running a temperature on his intended comeback last month and he tends to improve for a run these days; also winless since 2023. |
15/2 |

11th 2 (1) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
9yo who has drawn a blank since winning on the July Course in summer 2023 and needs everything to drop right but he often runs extremely well in defeat, including when third in the Royal Hunt Cup in June; another respectable effort when sixth of 20 in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good) a fortnight ago; not discounted in this slightly easier race. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Bolted up in last season's Victoria Cup over this C&D (soft) but went missing for 470 days afterwards; out of the frame in both starts since returning (the latest back here) but this race was immediately nominated after his latest outing; likely to have his conditions and should go well. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (6) |
7th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Well suited by drop to 7f in spring 2023, winning two races including soft-ground Victoria Cup here by 4l; subsequently absent until Goodwood two weeks ago when showing clear signs of retaining ability while seeming to need the run; interesting with that reappearance under his belt. |
5/1 |
|
6th 1 (6) |
25th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
2-2 since dropped to 7f, both wins in spring 2023, latest by 4l in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (soft); now 8lb higher but could well have more to offer at this distance; interesting on return from 15-month absence, particularly if the market speaks favourably. |

8th Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Two AW wins during the winter; respectable eighth in the Royal Hunt Cup on his return to turf; 1-1 at Sandown, namely a success in the 2019 Solario, but that's the last time he scored on grass. |
9/1 |

21st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Absent since a disappointing effort in major prize on Good Friday when bidding for AW hat-trick; landed the 2019 Solario but has failed to score on grass since and last year's two turf efforts cement doubts. |
40/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
7th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
2yo Group 3 winner in 2019; returned last July from a long absence and struck form this winter with handicap wins at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) and Kempton (1m); one to consider. |

Beaten favourite in the corresponding race 12 months ago when rated 1lb higher; only seen twice this year, looking to retain all his ability in useful turf races; can go well fresh; not ruled out. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time AW winner; has comparable form on turf but he took his record in this sphere to 0-17 when a creditable fourth of 15 in Epsom handicap (8.5f; good to soft) on reappearance 18 days ago; cheekpieces back on; it's unlikely that a first success on the grass will arrive now. |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
C&D winner (good to soft) just over four years ago; on a losing run since going back-to-back at Nottingham and Newmarket (both heavy at around 1m) in the autumn of 2023 and recent efforts are not enough to tempt despite this falling mark. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Continues to drop down the weights but this 8yo struggled in the main last season and it was the same story on last month's reappearance; needs to turn things around. |

Veteran who won this race in 2016 and 2022, albeit was in ostensibly better form at the time on both occasions; absent since a below-par effort over C&D five months ago; the market signals may prove helpful. |
