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 |

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. |

28th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

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. |

Five AW wins and two turf wins have been at Navan over 5f; last year's highlight was fine third in Rockingham here; absent since October and may just need this. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
5-13 on AW including this race in 2021; respectable effort when fourth in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh in July (5f, good); a neck behind Black Forza when fourth over C&D latest (4lb better off now); needs more stepped back up in grade. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |

Five-time course winner including a C&D Group 3; beaten 3.25l off 99 on last AW start in July; decent runs in defeat since including a 3.25l fourth in the Sapphire Stakes; a bit to find on the figures but should run a solid race. |

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). |

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. |

Capable of smart form on his day but hasn't won since August 2022 and two runs so far this season leave him with a fair bit to find despite reduced mark; visor back on. |

Capable of smart form on his day but hasn't won since August 2022 and was well held behind Bodhi Bear on his seasonal reappearance; hopes pinned on cheekpieces sparking a revival. |

9th 1 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 5f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Smart sort on his day but hasn't won since 2022; highly tried last season, his best run a 0.5l second in listed company at Tipperary (5f, yielding); won his last start in handicap company but was 8lb lower then and would probably prefer better ground. |
