1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Regressed since notching a slow-ground hat-trick early in his 3yo season and he was well beaten on reappearance (6f, good to firm); dropped another 4lb but he's unproven over this trip; lots to prove. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Regressed since notching a soft-ground hat-trick early in his 3yo season and is entitled to need this after nine months off; only run once on ground faster than good, when a beaten-favourite, so these conditions would be a concern. |

Rattled off a hat-trick during the first half of 2023, all on good to soft or slower; not a lot to shout about since, however. |

2nd Oct 2023 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Debut winner who was only short-headed on his handicap debut at Goodwood (5f, heavy) and his Sandown run after a lengthy break was too bad to be true; could bounce back. |
5/1 |

2nd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Less exposed than most of these and was having only his third outing when short-headed in six-runner handicap at Goodwood (5f, heavy; won debut on good to firm) in May; edged up 3lb but open to further improvement and must be considered. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three 6f wins this season but ought to have coped better with the soft ground when midfield on last two outings and this drop back to 5f is probably not ideal; others preferred. |
10/1 |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Seems to handle most surfaces; multiple wins include a strike-rate of 3-5 over this C&D; he was on a hat-trick when returning here last month but below best and it's a while since he ran well off this high a mark. |
16/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Seems to act on most ground; nine-time winner who is on a hat-trick after a brace of wins at Ffos Las (6f, good) last month; it was in his nursery days that he last scored off a mark this high, but he can't be ignored in current mood. |

Soft ground was no issue back in the spring when winning in novice and handicap company; progress has rather stalled but it wasn't a bad run last time and she's on a decent mark. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won on reappearance at Yarmouth in April and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and he needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |
11/1 |
|
6th 7 (8) |
17th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Below par since his 5f Yarmouth reappearance success in April but has dipped to 2lb below that winning mark; dangerous if staging a revival. |
8/1 |
|
14th 6 (18) |
26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All wins at 5f, one of them here at last year's Dante meeting, and he's on the same mark as when making a successful return at Yarmouth in April (5f, good to firm); best produced late off a strong pace at 5f though and his 6f form is unconvincing. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
The vast majority of his recent racing has come at 5f and he's unraced at 7f; however, he wasn't stopping at the line when third here (6f, good) last Saturday and this trip is worth a go. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Won the same Class 4 at the other Newmarket track (5f, visored) in July for the third consecutive year; held in a higher grade subsequently but he's now just 2lb higher and this drop back into calmer waters must help; no headgear for his first visit to the Rowley, though. |
8/1 |

12th 6 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Back to winning ways in a small-field Class 4 handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in July; he has come up short twice since and looks vulnerable for win purposes. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Fully exposed but always dangerous when getting a strong pace to chase and this is much easier than at Goodwood last time; has form here. |
10/1 |
|
12th 12 (11) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Goodwood (5f, good) in the spring and has remained in form, second of seven at Lingfield last time; no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts again but he's fully exposed after 52 starts. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out. |
9/4 |
