17th May 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Comfortably justified favouritism in conditions race at Haydock (6f, good to soft) on Saturday, reversing last month's Newmarket placings with Commanche Falls and recording first win since landing Ascot Group 1 in 2021; smart performer who commands respect back up in grade. |

13th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Turned over at odds-on in Group 3 Abernant at Newmarket on last month's reappearance (behind Commanche Falls); however, it wasn't a bad performance and he could improve for it; holds leading claims judged on last year's efforts in Group/Grade 1 sprints. |

20th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Group 1 winner as 3yo (6f, good to soft) who raced only at that level in 2022, failing to win but running some excellent races in defeat; not that fussed about the state of the ground and should have plenty going for him now racing in a Group 3 for the first time in nearly two years. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won Group 3 John of Gaunt at Haydock (7f, good) in June 2024 and returned to form to land Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm) two months later; has had only two runs since then but latest was a creditable second in a Listed event at Haydock last May; now returns after another lengthy absence but he has a good strike-rate and needs a close look for in-form yard. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Won Group 3 John of Gaunt over C&D last June and returned to form to land Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm; Kikkuli fourth) two months later; probably unsuited by very testing ground when well held in French Group 1 final start; escapes a penalty for those Group wins but he's taken a couple of runs to find his best form in the last two seasons. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Not the force of old but a fire still burns and his third at Ripon in August came off 4lb higher; shouldn't be judged harshly on latest Ayr run and no surprise to see him bounce back with a big effort. |
14/1 |

16th 6 (22) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Heroic sprinter down the years, winning the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood in 2021 (soft) and 2022, and runner-up in the Gold Cup as a 5yo; harder to place now but was checked in his run at York in July and was a creditable third at Ripon after; not so good in a small field at Thirsk since but this type of race suits him better; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
33/1 |

8th 5 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
His last success was three years ago, but he was a Group 3 winner in his prime and he ran well to finish third off this reduced mark at Ripon (6f, good) last month; could be dangerous if he can back that up and two of his wins have come over C&D. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Capable of smart form, such as placed efforts in two July Cups, but is getting long in the tooth and seems unlikely to break his Abernant duck at the fourth attempt (record in this race reads 404); losing spell goes back almost three years. |
25/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Has run well at long odds in several Group 1s, including when second in this race in 2022 (150-1) and when third to No Half Measures in this year's July Cup (40-1), but he was never a threat in the Sprint Cup six weeks ago and his overall record is none too consistent. |
50/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up in the July Cup at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) in 2023 and, having been lightly raced since, he was a 2l third of 14 to No Half Measures in that same Group 1 two months ago (good to firm); each-way claims if reproducing that form but his profile indicates it's far from guaranteed. |
