8th 5 (5) |
19th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won this race in 2020 and gained further Group 1 wins in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 Dubai Turf; only midfield in this year's edition of that 1m1f race at Meydan but he was a close third in Group 2 at Sandown (1m) on latest outing; this step back up in trip will surely suit but, as an 8yo, he's probably no longer at the level required to win this. |

3rd 4 (5) |
26th Apr 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time Group 1 scorer at 1m1f/1m2f; only midfield at Meydan last month when bidding for a fourth success in the Dubai Turf, albeit things didn't pan out perfectly; still needs to show he retains every ounce of ability aged eight but sets a high standard on his best figures. |

1st 2 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
As reliable as they come on AW, winning five of his 16 starts in this sphere and second or third on a further nine occasions; has a rare handicap run today but he looks held by Chancellor on their Southwell clash in February (3lb better off for a length but the winner had a bit to spare). |
7/1 |

2nd 6 (2) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Two Listed wins at Lingfield, including this race 12 months ago; may have needed the run when 3l behind Chancellor at Kempton in December and went desperately close over 1m2f later that month; shouldn't be too far away once more. |
5/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Better than ever in most recent AW attempt, winning 1m Listed event at Lingfield; finished behind two of today's opponents at Ascot since, taking turf record to 0-6; not the percentage call. |

20th Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Won the Golden Gates at this meeting in 2021 (1m2f, soft) and sixth in this last year; back to near his best with a clearcut Listed AW success at Kempton (1m2f) in April and reported to have been unsuited by the tight turns of Chester when running poorly last time; 3lb penalty. |
33/1 |

6th 1 (1) |
12th May 2023 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Group 3 winner on soft in 2021; touch regressive and failed to score last season but, following a gelding operation, has shown resurgent form in two notable AW races this year (clearcut Listed scorer at Kempton latest); enters calculations now he's moving back in the right direction. |

25th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Below-par third in at Newcastle on latest AW start (Good Friday); very useful on his day and returns to handicap level off a workable mark; however, failed to shine in this race two years ago on sole Epsom run. |

10st 0lb |
Last three wins came in Bahrain (December 2022 to December 2023); has been off for four months since a couple of ordinary efforts in good-quality handicaps in the summer and needs a revival on his Tapeta debut. |

1st Apr 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |

Landed the Winter Derby three years ago but has lacked consistency since and faces a difficult assignment against some unexposed/better types in this field; yard has a much stronger chance with Lion's Pride. |

28th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Seven-time Tapeta winner but just under 3l behind Ziggy off levels in a conditions race at Newcastle last time and has to give him weight this time; 0-6 on Polytrack, including below best both visits here. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
12th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Ultra-consistent sort whose seven wins have all come on Tapeta (record here reads 1121311); doesn't have much to find with the Gosden pair on these terms and his record on the surface makes him hard to dismiss, but a suspicion that further suits him better these days. |

Well below par in two runs since popping up at Kempton in July (1m3f); can start slowly. |
