2nd 4 (8) |
5th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Struggled in his last three runs during a light campaign last year but he was an emphatic front-running winner over C&D on his seasonal return last May; comes with risks attached but he still has low mileage and is a player if he can get back near best after 232 days off. |

Well backed on seasonal return at Lingfield (1m, AW) and landed the money in effortless style; 1m4f next time didn't suit and he was only fourth at Chelmsford eight weeks ago having made the running back at 1m; needs to bounce back to his best. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Has done all his winning at about 1m, including four times at Bath; has bits of 1m2f form but doesn't look the percentage call; losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

Has failed to score this term (runner-up three starts ago) but now drops in class off 15lb below her last winning mark; holds clear possibilities at this level, provided she turns up in decent form. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran three sound races in June, notably when 0.75l third over C&D (good to firm) then beaten a head at Bath next time (1m, good); below par on AW latest but has an each-way chance back on turf. |
5/1 |

5th 3 (11) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Arrives in very good form without winning, a clear second of 11 in 1m Bath handicap 25 days ago; drawn wide but this course winner merits serious consideration with Oisin Murphy back up. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won two fast-ground C&D handicaps last season, both off higher marks than today's; threatening a win in recent starts and Jack Callan takes off a handy 3lb; unraced on slower than good ground. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Currently 2-2 over C&D and 2-2 in cheekpieces (again off tonight) following wins here in April; excuses off his revised mark since and he is one to consider back on Tapeta. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Seemingly boosted by cheekpieces when winning twice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April and endured a wide trip before keeping on steadily for sixth at Kempton (1m, AW; no headgear, as today) last month; versatile ground-wise on turf; can't be ignored. |

Three hurdle wins this season, most recently when given a nicely judged Joe Anderson ride from off the pace over C&D (good) 12 days ago; 4lb rise is not excessive but the ground may have turn against him now. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
11-time AW winner; quiet for Chelsea Banham this year but dropping down the weights and he is one of four runners on the card for connections that all require close market surveillance. |
9/1 |
|
9th 13 (1) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
11-time AW winner but he's been out of sorts for new yard since December and was last of eight over C&D last time; mark is tumbling but he has lots to prove and needs a major revival. |
66/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
All 11 wins on the AW, including one over C&D, though his latest success for the Moores was in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta) in October; out of the frame in all four starts for this yard since then and may be best watched despite his declining mark. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Back on the mark he defied over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in March but recent efforts haven't been obviously encouraging, for all the 7f trip of the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot is almost certainly too short for him these days. |
33/1 |
|
19th 27 (27) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Effective at 7f earlier in career but seems to need much further now and gained last three wins over 1m4f/1m6f (stays 2m); still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf in any case and looks unlikely to figure in this hot prize, back down sharply in distance. |
66/1 |
|
9th 6 (11) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Moving up to 1m4f worked well in December and comparable form at 1m6f/2m since, including another win three starts back; he's come up a bit short in warmer races this year, though, including behind Align The Stars at Kempton, and none of his turf form (admittedly at up to 1m2f) is close to this mark. |

10th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time C&D winner, the latest last July when 1lb lower; has been well beaten in both subsequent starts, the latter back here last November; bit to prove after that but dangerous to rule him out. |
10/1 |
|
10th 2 (3) |
6th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
All four of his wins have come over C&D, the latest off 2lb lower in July (good Topspeed figure for the grade); unsighted behind Dourado on turf in July but likely to be seen in a more favourable light here. |
