2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Close second to Kerdos in the Temple Stakes at Haydock (soft) on seasonal debut; lesser efforts in races won by Believing and Makarova since, last time under change of tactics (normally a front-runner); peak performance remains his win in last year's Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (good to firm). |

6th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who enjoyed an excellent campaign last year, the highlight his Group 1 Nunthorpe win at York (5f, good to firm); not quite at his best yet this season, but a close second in the Group 2 Temple at Haydock (5f, soft) was no disgrace and he stumbled leaving the stalls when a beaten favourite last time; tops the ratings and commands major respect. |

9st 9lb |
Smart sprinter in his prime but last win was four years ago and he's finished down the field in four runs this season; return to 6f in his favour but don't need much encouragement to look elsewhere. |

Veteran who was a smart sprinter in his prime but last win was four years ago and he's finished down the field in three runs this season; dropped another 3lb but he has lots to prove on this first run at 7f; visor removed. |

17th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Quiet in Bahrain over the winter and fared no better back in Britain when a remote last of seven at Goodwood two weeks ago; has lots of ability, on a lowly mark, tongue-tie returns and stable amongst the winners but, even so, he's not a solid option. |

2nd May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Inconsistent 6yo but he has plenty of talent, as witnessed at Yarmouth last summer when he powered home to win a Racing League handicap (6f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; out of sorts in Bahrain over the winter; can win a nice prize this year but not sure this race will set up ideally for his hold-up style. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Getting on for four years since he last contested a Class 4 handicap; in better form than his figures suggest, having nowhere to go at a crucial stage at Windsor two weeks ago, and he is one to take seriously. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

C&D win off a 3lb higher mark last July; none too consistent on AW over the winter but it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him bounce back to form returned to turf. |

Went down by only a neck over C&D off 1lb higher in January but his two efforts since have been no more than respectable. |

2nd Nov 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Latest run at Nottingham is easy to forgive (unsuitable ground) and he had recorded a career-best RPR when winning at Wolverhampton (5f) on his penultimate start; no issue with 6f but 5f is possibly his optimum. |

Not the force of old and, although he retains some ability, others in this field have more pressing claims. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Multiple 5f winner down the years, including over C&D, but his powers appear to be on the wane; a couple of respectable efforts last month but more will be needed to win. |
