Has won just one of his last 17 races and was tailed off in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes at Newmarket last week; would be a shock winner. |

Has blown hot and cold this season, best efforts when beaten a nose in Group 2 Duke of York (6f, good) in May and when winning Group 3 at Deauville (6f, good to soft) in July; faced stiff task but well held even so in Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock last week; has a chance if on a going day. |

9st 6lb |
No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose. |

Not won on turf since his 2yo days and has gone off the boil, finishing a remote last behind Physique at Beverley a few weeks ago; hard to recommend off the back of that. |

9st 0lb |
Sole win in 7f maiden on AW in March 2023; seen only four times since but there was plenty of merit in his front-running ninth of 21 in the Victoria Cup over C&D in May and there's time for him to do better yet; this is still a big ask. |

9st 5lb |
Had wind surgery prior to an impressive performance over C&D on Good Friday; struggled in a Newbury handicap six weeks ago; stable sent out the winner of this race in 2022, 2023 and 2024; work to do at this level. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Had wind surgery prior to 6f success on finals day at Newcastle last time, taking AW record to 4-9; no certainty to follow up, being only 1-8 on turf and back on a tougher mark. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Smart form in 2024, including over C&D; only ran once in 2025 and he has finished out of the places in all three starts this year but that doesn't tell the whole story as he made some striking late headway into sixth over C&D in January; he has undergone wind surgery since last seen and now sports a tongue tie; looks on a dangerous mark and could be a major player if he can avoid forfeiting too much ground at the start. |

Ran well in the face of stiff tasks on his first two starts for John Ryan, finishing third in a Lingfield Listed event (7f) and a conditions race at Kempton (1m); did so again, at 80-1 but beaten only just over 3l, when sixth of eight in 7f Listed race at Newmarket on Friday. |

9st 9lb |
Kept on for good Listed fourth in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Sandown (1m, good) in July and a case can be made on that form, now back up in trip in her first handicap; however, she's been inconsistent this year and was well beaten in a Listed race at Haydock (1m, good to soft) last time. |

12th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Career started with two wins (AW/good); just about her best run since when fourth in a 1m Sandown Listed race in first-time cheekpieces (retained) five weeks ago but reopposing pair Stenton Glider and Bridestones were ahead of her. |

8th Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Career started with two wins (AW/good); limitations were seemingly exposed in three Group races and two Listed events, albeit with the step up from 7f to 1m2f appearing to stretch her last time; has first go at 1m and her first headgear. |

9st 3lb |
Won C&D novices on first two starts and made it 3-3 in Lingfield Listed race (7f again) in March; his form has levelled off since but it is still early days and he should find this a little easier than the 6f Newcastle Group 3 he contested when last seen at the beginning of July. |

1st Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Won his first three starts, all over 7f on Polytrack, with the third win coming at Listed level; form dipped switched to turf at Newmarket eight weeks ago; drop to sprinting needs to prompt a career best. |
