3rd 4 (3) |
13th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Goodwood Cup and Great Voltigeur entry; won handicap/turf debut at Doncaster (14.5f) in June and followed that with another seriously improved piece of form when second to Gregory (beat Klondike time before) in the 1m6f Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot, again on good ground; drop back to 1m5f should be fine and there's lots to like about his chance. |

2nd 10 (4) |
21st Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in April on third start and followed up on recent handicap/turf debut at Doncaster (14.5f, good); today's task is considerably tougher but he impressed last time and is an each-way possible. |
9/1 |

1st 3 (7) |
3rd Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Progressed in his three AW runs (1m, 1m2f and 1m3f) and last time it was when winning a novice race at Southwell, looking sure to stay further; more to give going into staying handicaps. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Won this in 2024 and has added three more Group-race wins, the latest on reappearance in this month's Sagaro Stakes at Ascot (2m, good to firm) where he was clear with subsequent Group 1 winner Caballo De Mar; leading claims despite 5lb penalty. |

1st 2 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Headgear and Rab Havlin all starts; not straightforward but he nearly always gives his running, including at this track; he did not have the top stayers to worry about last September when winning his second Doncaster Cup and the same seems to apply today, so he's a leading player. |
2/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Headgear and Rab Havlin all starts; not straightforward but he nearly always gives his running and was third and second in the last two runnings of this race; he did not have the top stayers to worry about last month when winning his second Doncaster Cup and while he had the edge over third-placed Trawlerman in this 12 months ago, he's found that rival too tough to crack in their two clashes this season. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and a Carlisle Flat handicap (2m1f, soft) last summer, but handicap hurdle debut in September was too bad to be true; however, he made a promising return here over 2m 17 days ago when shaping as though he'd improve for the outing; interesting back up in trip. |

5th 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and a Carlisle Flat handicap (2m1f, soft) last summer; off since September; likely to be better for the run. |
10/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Came good over hurdles at third attempt, with clearcut success at Southwell (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in June, and added a Flat win one month later; could still have untapped potential over jumps; one to consider. |

26th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Returning from three months off when only 2l away in a 1m4f novice at Kempton and could have finished a bit closer (got short of room); turf debut; should improve some more now sent handicapping. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
6th Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Third of ten at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in March and better form when boxing on in fourth of seven at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in April; off three months; has very similar form to a few of today's rivals and should stay 1m4f; stable also runs Sea Me Dance. |

4th 6 (3) |
6th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Made an encouraging start to her career when third of ten at Chelmsford (1m) five weeks ago; should appreciate today's extra yardage but improvement is required. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Six wins (all handicaps) from 32 runs; not disgraced after losing ground at the start when fourth of six at Nottingham four weeks ago; faces a significantly stiffer assignment on her first attempt at a Group race. |
25/1 |

4th 1 (3) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
3-10 at Nottingham, including the first of last year's three wins; effective at 1m6f/2m and ran well on recent return, so shortlisted. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (3) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Enjoyed a good 2025 when a three-time winner (from 1m6f to 2m) but she came in last in 1m6f Nottingham handicap on her final run in October; has gone well off a break, though. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
11st 9lb |
Modest on the Flat; 1-6 over hurdles, the win coming in a Kilbeggan maiden in April 2025 (15.5f, gd-yld); heavy ground not ideal the last twice; could improve for this sounder surface. |
14/1 |

3rd 4 |
7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 125y |
11st 4lb |
Twice tailed off on the Flat last month so current wellbeing is an issue, but he's in a shrewd yard and did win a maiden hurdle in April; hard to discount at this level. |
5/1 |

13th 12 (7) |
23rd Jun 2025 Good 1m 5f 9y |
9st 6lb |
Ordinary form at around 1m4f for Owen Burrows; won a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan for this yard in April; returned to the Flat with a poor run at Listowel 22 days ago (2m, good); unlikely to be involved. |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
First four wins came over hurdles but he proved he could do it on the Flat when successful at Catterick (1m4f, heavy) in April; finished last of seven (behind three of these) on stable debut over C&D last month and needs to do much better. |
