8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Did well early in his carerer including when beating three rivals in the 2024 Brigadier Gerard (1m2f, soft); 0-8 since, albeit twice placed at the highest level; pulled too hard when beaten over 6l into sixth of 12 behind Starford on his return in a Group 3 at the Curragh (1m2f, soft) last month, but that should have taken the freshness out of him; could probably do with the ground easing, though. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Beat 13 rivals to win at Newbury (1m2f, good) ten days ago on his second start back from some time off; back up 4lb but he's just 1lb higher than when second in this last year and he's a solid contender. |
9/2 |

1st 2 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ran creditably over 1m2f on good ground on first three starts last season and back-to-form fourth of 13 at Kempton (AW) three weeks ago; thereabouts if the returning cheekpieces (worn on final start in 2024, below form) don't have an adverse effect. |

4th 12 (13) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Ran creditably on first three starts last season, before two lesser displays in the summer; versatile ground-wise on turf and although he's raced only twice on AW, in first half of 2024, the first of those runs was creditable; the widest draw does not help today, however. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
8st 8lb |
Sole win on Flat came in 2023, although has mostly been competing over hurdles in recent times; improved markedly over poor Navan return when fourth at Roscommon last time (1m4f, good), staying on after being slowly away; down to a career low mark. |

4th 1 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 46y |

Dual-purpose; best recent form has come over hurdles; no win on Flat since 2023; down the field at Navan latest; hard to fancy. |

Had placed form over hurdles in 2025, only Flat win was for Godolphin at two; not an appealing prospect under a big weight. |

12th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Useful on turf and has performed well in both AW starts, bolting up in a weak Newcastle novice (7f, Tapeta) as a 2yo and only beaten two necks into third of 14 at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; first-time blinkers) last month; may still have more to offer and respected up 1lb. |

29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Can front-run; completed a double over C&D last autumn; has come up short in his five starts since (three here) and was a notch below his best on last three occasions, but no fitness concerns and he's 1lb below his last winning mark. |

5th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |

Overall strike-rate of 6-20 and a four-time winner on the AW; finished behind Cello last time despite having the run of things but he's likeably reliable and should give backers a run for their money. |

7th May 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Hooded for all three starts; made all to justify favouritism in novice at Windsor (1m, again on good) on second start last autumn; bred for at least 1m2f and kept on tenaciously when beaten a head in six-runner novice at Kempton (1m2f, AW) five weeks ago; makes handicap debut and, as with nearly all of these, she should still be capable of better. |
5/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
1st Apr 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 5 |

Hooded last autumn both starts; showed promise at Yarmouth (7f) and made all to justify favouritism in ten-runner novice at Windsor (1m, again on good); bred for at least 1m2f and should have plenty more improvement in her. |
4/1 |

26th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two good efforts at about 7f in novices in the autumn (both on good), winning one at Beverley, but a weak finisher in two handicaps this year, over 1m2f and 1m; needs to show he's worth his current mark back at 1m2f. |
13/2 |

8th 5 (8) |
3rd Jun 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Promise in novices at around 7f last autumn, but beaten too far out to blame the trip alone on his 1m2f Newmarket handicap debut/reappearance 16 days ago; still early days but hard to be confident about here. |
16/1 |
