6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Won Listed (including C&D on good to soft) and Group 3 races before two-year absence; out of his depth in Group 1 and 3 races since but sights were lowered when he was a more encouraging fourth of ten in the Shergar Cup over C&D (good to firm) last month; back on dry land after another Group 1 venture since and can't dismiss. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Won two 5f Listed races and a Group 3 (AW) in 2022; missed two years subsequently and well back in two Group races this summer; his fourth of ten at the Shergar Cup at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago was more like it but this looks too big a task. |
66/1 |

4th 1 (11) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Hard to weigh up after being absent for two years and then finishing down the field in Group races over this C&D and at Sandown, but he's well treated on the pick of his form, including a cosy win in this race in 2022, and he has the benefit of Hollie Doyle in the saddle. |

19th Aug 2022 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Course winner in 2019; all four wins on soft/heavy, none in Group races but he did go close in Group 2 over 5f at Haydock in May 2021; however, comfortably held on return from a break for new yard in June and has plenty to find. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 on the AW, but has gone very close on Tapeta on three occasions; 2lb lower than when beaten a head in a 0-110 contest over C&D in August and if able to reproduce that sort of form he would have a good chance. |
7/1 |
|
6 (4) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his lengthy losing run when winning a 7f handicap at Haydock in July; similar form on a couple of occasions since and he ran creditably in a hot 6f handicap at York two weeks ago; one to consider back down into Class 3 company. |
9/1 |
|
17 (11) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Not the force of old (won the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2022) but he ended a long losing run at Haydock (7f, good) in July and went down only narrowly at Newcastle in August; however, he should have fared better at Ascot last time and he's been unplaced on both his previous outings at York. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Group 3 winner at Ascot (6f, soft) last October and he's versatile ground-wise; down to a dangerous mark but he hasn't been at the top of his game on his four runs this year, in handicaps on the last two occasions, and he needs to turn things around in a first-time tongue-tie and reapplied cheekpieces. |
14/1 |
|
13th 1 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Successful in major handicap in 2023 and a few Group races since but balance of 2026 form suggests he's unlikely to defy top weight in this field. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (12) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Ended last season with a game win in Group 3 at Ascot (6f, soft) in October; repeatedly met trouble when only seventh in Saudi Arabia (a race he'd won two years earlier) in February and things didn't really go his way again in a Listed race at Doncaster last month; has possibilities on this drop back in class and his last handicap win was off 1lb higher. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Made low-key return to action at York's Ebor meeting but showed much more when fifth of ten to Blue Storm at Haydock (5f, soft) four weeks ago; down another 2lb and now turns up in the race in which she was runner-up (off 6lb higher) in 2022; she'll be fresher than most of these and should go well. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Positives include a competitive mark and a proven ability on bad ground; on the downside, her reappearance at York's Ebor meeting (in a race she'd won twice before) was a low-key one; tongue-tie tried there is now dispensed with; enough to prove. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

Slow-starter; on a dangerous mark but he is without a win since October 2023 and one 7f run didn't see him improve for the trip. |
28/1 |
|
10th 9 (13) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Useful on his day but is on a long losing run and has a doubt over current form; by no means sure to take advantage of a reduced mark. |
25/1 |
|
8th 11 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Well beaten at Doncaster on his return but he wasn't well drawn and has a modest record fresh; stepping up to 7f will give him more time to claw back the ground he's likely to forfeit at the start; on a dangerous mark and he's a lively outsider, for all his losing run stretches back to October 2023. |

Formerly smart including winning a Group 3 at Sandown in July 2021, but 0-11 since and tailed off in the Stewards' Cup when last seen; not hard to look elsewhere. |

12th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Magnificent record here and won this race in 2018 and 2021; however, he hasn't beaten a rival in his two runs this year, in a Group 3 and the Wokingham here (twice in the frame in earlier runnings) and is an unknown quantity at present. |
5/1 |

27th 5 (3) |
24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Had many happy days here, winning four at 5f (on a variety of ground) and beaten about 1l in this race in 2018 and 2019; well held on reappearance in a Group 3 but has more going for him back on this track; regular rider Adam Kirby switches to Summerghand but Kevin Stott is 1-1 on him. |

4th Sep 2022 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Won a Group 1 in Ireland (6f, yielding) as a 2yo; right back to his best in first-time blinkers when winning Listed race at Chester (6f, good to soft) five weeks ago; has to concede weight to younger rivals but has to be respected; rain would aid his cause. |

Ended losing run at Salisbury in June and he has not run badly on his last three AW starts, third of eight at Southwell 11 days ago (cheekpieces first time, retained); has done the bulk of his racing over 5f but the best effort of his career came when a close third in a Meydan Group 1 over this trip; contender. |

25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
An improver this year, posting a convincing Listed win at Haydock (6f, good to firm) then going very close in Chantilly Group 2 (5f, good); she's better than she showed at Sandown latest but is likely to come up short here. |

Better than ever since returned to sounder surface, winning Listed event at Haydock (6f, good to firm) then going close in Group 2 at Chantilly (5f, good); has to be feared in current form, granted similar ground. |
