13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Made no impact last autumn in first two handicaps (1m2f/1m6f, soft) and absent since; however, his trainer has won this three times since 2011, including with the reappearing Sinjaari in 2020, and this lightly raced 4yo showed considerable promise earlier last year; very interesting contender. |

13th Oct 2023 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
A win and two seconds at novice level, best form when beaten a neck at Hamilton (1m3f, good to soft) in August; rather disappointing when favourite for 1m2f handicap debut at Doncaster (soft) but there's been a rethink about his trip; trainer (runs two) won this race in 2019 and 2022. |

3rd 2 (5) |
14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Form figures of 212 reflect his solid record at novice level; achieved a very useful RPR at Hamilton (1m3f, good to soft) most recently, pulling clear of the remainder; looks the type to improve further and do well in handicaps; respected. |

10st 1lb |
Consistent maiden in her first season last year; made all at Wetherby (1m, soft; off 4lb lower) on reappearance, showing improvement; may well build on that win and have a productive 2024 campaign; shortlisted. |

Consistent maiden in her first season last year, solid second off this mark at Doncaster (7f, heavy) on final outing; threatening to win a race of this nature and is one for the shortlist on reappearance. |

10th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Well held in his two handicaps since winning a maiden here in June but this 525,000gns yearling could have some potential lurking now he's gelded; off since July, so some confidence behind him would be preferable. |
100/30 |
|
6th 7 (11) |
21st Jul 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
525,000gns yearling; maintained his progress with a comfortable maiden win at Leicester (1m, good to firm) and was a bit too free for his own good when a fader on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); retains plenty of potential. |
3/1 |

5th 17 (11) |
24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
525,000gns yearling buy, brother to the same stable's King Leonidas whose best form (RPR 109) was registered over 1m2f on handicap debut; this one's three runs over 1m, making all in Leicester maiden (good to firm) last time, suggest that he too is building up to something once upped to this trip; very much one to note. |

28th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Well-related ex-Gosden maiden who's gone as far as 1m4f and been expensive to follow; didn't improve for the drop back to this trip last time but the handicapper's given him every chance on his AW debut. |

0-9 with his best effort for this yard when third of 11 at Haydock (1m2f, good) in July; down in grade but not sure dropping back in trip is the answer. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins at 1m2f in 2024 but he has run well over this C&D and, after a slow start to the year, he showed more when a close third of eight at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last week; on the premises again. |
7/2 |

3rd 5 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Placed in three of his four starts here, including when third in this race last year; after a poor start to this term he showed more three weeks ago and has dropped 4lb since; not ruled out despite the losing run racking up. |
7/1 |

9th 9 (15) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Second in this two years ago and often ran well last season; on a competitive mark on his best form but beaten on his last 20 starts and he's struggled on both outings this term. |

6th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Three course runs have resulted in two thirds and a ready C&D success in September; progress stalled when only fourth at Southwell last time but her yard are gong well and there could be more to come back at this venue. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 (1) |
28th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Displayed a thoroughly willing attitude when breaking her duck at Kempton (1m3f) a fortnight ago; that form has since been franked by the runner-up so, while she undoubtedly has more to do from this 6lb higher mark, further improvement remains a possibility; first run at Southwell. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time AW winner over 1m and he was runner-up on turf over this C&D two weeks ago on his first start for 270 days; the winner has won again since; has major claims in the returning cheekpieces. |
15/8 |

2nd 10 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Drew a blank in 2025 after a successful time of things in 2024; returns from nine months off on a dangerous mark but he is a better horse on AW. |
20/1 |
|
7 (14) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first five starts on the AW between October 2023 and October 2024 including twice over C&D; has run well on several occasions since then and just 2lb above his last winning mark, but the outside stall makes things tricky. |
