29th Jul 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 123y |
10st 0lb |
Winner of seven of his 25 races; gained most recent of five stakes wins on his favoured soft ground at Tipperary last October; has had a break since respectable seasonal return in the Gladness Stakes in March; stakes performer dropping back into handicap so has to be respected but wants softer ground. |
8/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Capable of very useful form, such as keeping-on second off current mark at Doncaster (1m, good) when last seen nine months ago; just looks far from certain to go one better, being 0-12 since debut success in 2021. |
14/1 |

2nd 1 (10) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Handicap debutant who is unlikely to defy top weight judged on 2025 efforts; however, very useful on his day and he's is on a handy mark based on the pick of his Listed/Group form. |

Both turf wins on soft and won a Listed race on AW in November; ducks and dives regarding the trip but he nearly made his first 6f turf handicap a winning one at Goodwood recently; back up 4lb but has course form at 7f; interesting. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
An ideal type for this race having won the Victoria Cup over C&D in 2024 and 2026, both times off 5lb lower on good ground (lightly raced in between and latest occasion was only his third run for new yard); still favourably treated on historical data; good credentials. |
12/1 |

1st 6 (26) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Seen only twice, both times on AW, last term for new yard; made a winning reappearance off current mark in this contest (on good ground) two years ago on first start during a brief spell with Charlie Fellowes; fighting chance in repeat bid, assuming he's in top form. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Just 1lb higher than for his Victoria Cup win last term (first run for Charlie Fellowes); midfield at Royal Ascot (Group 1) one month later; absent since a disappointing run on soft ground last September; cheekpieces worn on his last 11 starts are left off on today's stable debut (same owners); interesting, especially if backed. |
11/2 |
Betting Forcast
4/1 Majestic Dawn, 9/4 Power Under Me, 13/8 Cash, 5/1 Tacarib Bay, 14/1 The Wizard Of Eye
Verdict
A race that is normally held at Newmarket. The star attraction is CASH who nearly beat Westover when last seen and could well develop into a Group 1 performer in due course. His missed targets include races like the French Derby and QEII, such is the regard in which he’s held. He’s hard to oppose in these much calmer waters on his return from injury recuperation. Irish challenger Power Under Me looks the biggest threat, with Majestic Dawn perhaps best over longer trips.[Steve Boow]
