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. |

16th 3 (1) |
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. |

9st 13lb |
Has 15 AW wins to his name and been running well in defeat lately, including behind Daamberdiplomat; below his best in a C&D claimer last time so will have to improve upon that. |

2nd 2 (3) |
28th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Has 15 AW wins to his name, including eight at this venue but none since October 2023; did well to get within 3/4l of Valiant Force over 5f here in October and again took second behind that useful sort over this trip three weeks ago; stable 6-24 here this year; excellent chance at these weights. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |
9st 11lb |
Best known for AW exploits, also effective on turf; second to Bodhi Bear in a 5f handicap at Navan; visor now replaces blinkers following a below-par Dundalk run last Sunday. |

12th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Back on song when just failing to reel in the winner at Navan on latest; four C&D wins to his name, including a Group 3, and is 5lb better off for a 1.75l defeat behind Valiant Force in a rated race here in February; third in this last year and should go well again. |
7/2 |

2nd 1 (4) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Five-time AW winner; both turf wins have come over this C&D on yielding and soft ground; pleasing seasonal return over 6f at the Curragh last month, not far behind Bodhi Bear; eased 1lb, yard in fine form and leading claims. |

29th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Won a Listed event (5f, good) at York's Dante meeting in 2022 but he's been disappointing since and failed to beat a rival in his two runs last year; now 15lb lower than for his peak mark but has plenty to prove for new yard after 427 days off; visor removed. |

29th Apr 2023 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Listed event at York's Dante meeting last spring (5f, good); disappointed afterwards and he didn't fare any better on his return to action at Newcastle (6f) in February; still to prove his effectiveness on slow ground; visor now tried (usually wears cheekpieces but absent latest). |
14/1 |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Listed winner at York (5f, good) last May; however, his form went the wrong way subsequently and there was no revival at Newcastle (AW) in February on his first run since being gelded; unproven on slow ground. |

5f 2yo Listed winner last September and today's task is more realistic than the Group 2s she's contested on her two starts this season; however, she's been well beaten each time and has something to prove; blinkers go on. |

Last win was in 2022; encouraging signs lately, notably a good effort in a recent Listed race at Cork, not far off Likedbymike then; retains enough ability to be competitive in good company. |

3rd 1 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Ran perfectly well off 96 in a Navan handicap last week (5f, good) but he's without a win since 2022 and looks vulnerable on these terms. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
No win since 2022; hasn't looked like regaining the winning thread in three runs this term; behind The Highway Rat and Bodhi Bear at the Curragh (6f) latest; eased 2lb and the drop back to 5f is a plus, but the forecast rain is a concern. |
14/1 |
