1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hit the ground running for this yard, his Ripon win in April backed up by arguably unlucky fourth at Goodwood the following month; not beaten far in the Dash here next time and led on the line at Windsor (again 5f, good to firm) last Monday; 4lb penalty to overcome and his best has come at 5f, but he's still considered. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
In good form for his new yard, faring best of those drawn low in the Epsom Dash last time back in the trademark cheekpieces; bit unlucky at Goodwood on his previous start too and remains on a fair mark; one to consider. |
6/1 |

7th 17 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Trained by James Evans when winning this race in 2024 off a 5lb higher mark (good to soft); well beaten in it last year but he arrives in good form for his new stable, winning at Ripon in April and not enjoying the cleanest run when fourth at Goodwood 15 days ago; rain won't hurt his chance and he's of obvious interest. |

5th Nov 2022 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Well back in this race in 2021 but far better form as a 4yo and she hacked through the race when impressive in handicap at Nottingham ten days ago (5f, soft); had shown no shortage of stamina in most recent 6f win, at Yarmouth in September, and fascinating to see how she gets on back at this trip. |

26th Oct 2022 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |

dwelt start and squeezed out start, travelled strongly, in rear, switched left and smooth headway on far side of group from over 1f out, pushed along 1f out, ridden inside final furlong, led inside final 110yds, kept on strongly, comfortably |

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. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Trailblazer who is not the force he once was, but was runner-up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month; should give his supporters a run for their money but vulnerable to a late closer. |
7/2 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Twice a winner over C&D, including the corresponding event 12 months ago when rated 11lb higher; back to form when second at Windsor ten days ago, failing to hold the late thrust of Just Jump; his supporters should get a run for their money but he could just prove vulnerable late on. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Returned to form when third off 5lb higher at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May; this 8yo has finished soundly beaten on both starts since but has been without cheekpieces, which return today and could be key. |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
8yo who has finished down the field on his last four runs and needs a major turnaround; however, he's just 1lb higher than when winning in a big field over C&D (soft) in April on his last run here, and his good record at Doncaster also includes a win in this race in 2021; dangerous to dismiss. |
12/1 |

9th 3 (8) |
28th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Three heavy defeats have followed his impressive Doncaster win in April (6f, soft); not the easiest to predict but conditions won't be an issue and he's dangerous to write off. |

Had a fine year in 2023, his first with this stable, when an Ayr Gold Cup win was the highlight; has only run well in one of his four starts this year and hopes rest on a wind operation having a positive effect; second and first in two runs at Newcastle. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
1-1 over C&D; two good efforts since returning from latest seven-month absence but ran moderately when twelfth of 14 at York last time; 11l margin of defeat does him some disservice though (squeezed out then eased) and this drop in grade can help him bounce back; easiest task on turf for years; interesting. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Over two years since he last ran on the AW but that made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton; won last year's Stewards' Cup and this year's Wokingham, so clearly a tip-top handicapper when on his game; found the ground too slow in last month's big handicap at Goodwood but his run back there last time is not so easily forgiven. |
16/1 |

24th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Had an excuse (ground not fast enough) last time when failing by a long way to complete Stewards' Cup double; made all at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in his other two British runs this term, including the Wokingham; very useful handicapper when conditions are ideal. |
3/1 |
|
3 (27) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Sprang a 40-1 surprise in this race 12 months ago, making all to beat Apollo One with the stands' rail proving advantageous; unsuccessful stint in Bahrain early in the year saw his handicap mark ease and he's returned to Britain with a bang, making all at Ascot (6f, good to firm; strong tailwind) in May and repeating the dose in the Wokingham there six weeks ago; only 4lb higher and foolish to think he couldn't slip the field again. |

Runner-up for the third time in five starts since joining John Butler when best of the rest behind the well-treated Ancient State (won next time) in 16-runner race over C&D (good) 29 days ago; same mark today. |
13/2 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Four runs for John Butler, running well in three Class 5s but below par in a Class 3 in May; goes well at the Newmarket tracks and he holds each-way claims again. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His losing run is gathering momentum and he has not won over 5f for three years; went close at Goodwood last month (5f, good) though and he should remain a potent force at this level. |
3/1 |
