16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't have the ideal set-up at Sandown (behind Zeus Olympios) on reappearance but still needs to prove the form of his 100-1 success in last year's Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II (1m, good) at Ascot, where he was possibly helped by the draw, can be backed up; may be flattered by his mark. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who finished third in this race last year; returns to Sandown but may be flattered by his new rating, having been perhaps helped by the draw when registering a 100-1 success in the Group 1 QEII at Ascot (good) on last appearance; needs to prove he can back up that form. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Having run some good races in defeat this season (including in a good-ground Group 2) he returned to winning ways in a Listed race at Sandown (1m, soft) last month; likes it there; looks opposable now back up in grade. |

12th Aug 2023 Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Well bred and suited by the step up to 1m2f when coming good at the third time of asking on his Salisbury reappearance in June; that was on good to firm but runner-up on soft as 2yo; the Salisbury form doesn't look anything special but he enters the reckoning as a lightly raced sort from a top yard. |

21st Apr 2023 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Dante entry; well bred (1m2f should suit) and a short-priced favourite when placed at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) and Newbury (1m, soft) last autumn; others have done a bit more but, from powerful yard, he needs respect. |

9st 8lb |
Opened account at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) in September, coming from off the pace for a clearcut success; last month's seasonal debut at Windsor was no better than satisfactory, but he might fare better now back on a stiff track and with that outing under his belt. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
In the form of his life when winning four in a row for Ben Brookhouse last summer, namely a maiden hurdle followed by three Flat handicaps over 1m2f and 1m4f (twice) on good/good to firm; better effort in Bahrain for George Baker this year when third of seven over 1m2f (good to firm) five weeks ago; returns to Britain on a career-high mark and may prove vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |
20/1 |
|
2 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won the 2024 Ladies' Derby at Epsom and repeated the trick when romping away with this year's edition (1m4f, good to firm) in June; completed a hat-trick (first leg was over hurdles) when defying penalty under Paul Hainey at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and a 4lb rise for that success looks fair; usually sets the pace and he's a big player again in his bid to make it 3-4 over C&D; cheekpieces added. |
5/2 |

Won the 2024 Ladies' Derby at Epsom and repeated the trick when romping away with this year's edition (1m4f, good to firm) one week ago; 2-3 under amateur riders and he's run respectably here before; 2lb well in under the penalty and rider Paul Hainey has already impressed this season. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bounced back with a win at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) in December but he was tailed off in next two starts and he didn't get very far at Newbury (fell at third) last time; has plenty to prove again and he's still 3lb higher than for his last win. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Has gained both wins in Class 4, including for his standout performance this term; pair of duck eggs since, albeit the 2m7f trip perhaps contributed to latest defeat; others have stronger claims. |
20/1 |

13th 5 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Showed career-best form when winning readily by 4l at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft; refitted cheekpieces) in December; subsequent lesser effort in major Kempton handicap is not viewed harshly but 2m7f on soft ground will take his stamina into unknown territory. |

30th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Gelded prior to his latest start and he showed improved form in finishing third of 14 in a 0-75 at Windsor (1m, good; favourite); didn't enjoy the cleanest run through on that occasion and he's open to further progress; one to take seriously. |
11/4 |

3rd 12 (5) |
17th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Fourth of ten in maiden at Newbury (1m, soft) in April looked promising considering how badly he swerved to his left leaving the stalls; although not so marked, that behaviour at the start has been repeated on both outings since and he's made backward steps, the latest in a 6f handicap debut; gelded since; bit too early to forget that Newbury promise. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

11st 7lb |
5lb out of the weights and 50-1 when well beaten in the Welsh Champion Hurdle on final run in October; his earlier races were more realistic than that and he ran well; solid chance if fitness doesn't hold him back. |

1st Jul 2023 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |

Has yet to build on his promising debut third at Newmarket last summer, taking a good hold in first-time blinkers and weakening to finish a well-held fifth in 1m4f Catterick maiden on his reappearance 37 days ago; visor the headgear of choice this time; still fairly early days but he needs to get his career back on track now handicapping. |

Won three times in 2023, including here over 1m2f, but he's not been in the same form in four starts since being gelded; possibly needed the outing over 1m at Kempton last time and now steps back up to 1m4f, which should suit, with better needed. |
