2nd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won a 1m handicap here (good ground) in May on his final start for Roger Varian and has shaped well back here (1m again) on two of his three subsequent starts for current yard; may need to get the breaks from the inside stall but he's one to be interested in from his mark and the drop to 7f shouldn't pose a problem for one who tends to race freely. |

20th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Below par at Newmarket last time but the hood adopted that day is now left off, and he'd previously run two good races in a row over this C&D, with a win and a good fifth of 15 (the latter on stable debut); not ruled out. |
11/1 |

6th 5 (10) |
22nd Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Unexposed 4yo who won twice for Roger Varian, the latest on his Sandown reappearance (1m, good; first start since being gelded) in May; not beaten far into fifth of 15 on stable debut over the same C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago, but needs to find a bit more from the same mark; hood given a go; yard also runs Maysong. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time turf winner who matched that tally on the AW when landing Kempton handicap (1m) in April; never a threat over that C&D last Thursday and it's been a while since he won off a mark this high. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in April and he went close on Polytrack and turf in his next two starts; didn't really fire at Newmarket (1m, good) last time but he still looks on a workable mark and has claims if he can get back near best. |
13/2 |

6th 2 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
8yo who has been in fine form this spring, winning at Kempton (1m, AW) last month then going close at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Nottingham (1m, good); there's every chance he'll be bang there once more. |

9st 8lb |
Slowly away every time last season and wasn't quite the force of old in a mixed campaign, but he won at Nottingham (1m, good) in June and was a creditable third at Doncaster (1m2f, good) in September; left Sir Michael Stoute for 42,000gns in October and needs to better what he did in 2024. |

25th May 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won his two AW novices with something up his sleeve and looked sure to bring up the hat-trick on his handicap debut at Ascot (1m, good) until the winner (who challenged away from him) went into overdrive late on; didn't make his debut until March and this well-bred 4yo could have a lot more ability in him. |

3rd May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Out of sister to triple Group 1 winner Almanzor; unraced until this year but won both AW starts at 1m and looked to have plenty of scope when seeing off two unbeaten rivals at Kempton last month; this stiff test can suit; fascinating contender on turf/handicap debut; yard won this in 2018. |

Prominent racer who made all in a 7f handicap at Sandown in September; well beaten in a Listed race at Redcar four weeks ago and yet to shine in three AW starts. |
9/1 |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who got loose on the lead and just managed to hold on in a 7f handicap at Sandown (good) three weeks ago; likely to try something similar here and he did win this race two years ago (unplaced last year). |

15th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Front-runner who is 3lb below the mark he last defied in July of last year; not looking the horse he was, but this year has hardly been a washout and he could win again sooner or later. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
All seven wins have been on AW and latest was over C&D in January; found more progress when a close third off this mark at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in April but he's been tailed off back on turf in last two runs; now returns to scene of his last success but he needs to bounce back near best. |
16/1 |

22th 7 (22) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time AW scorer, mainly over 1m, most recently in January; latest effort (failed to beat a rival) took turf record to 0-16; enough to prove back over 7f for first time in five years. |
33/1 |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Had the run of things when winning over Newcastle's 1m in January and has since finished behind both Dosman and Angel Hunter; goes to work today off his 8lb lower turf mark but that's because he's 0-15 on grass. |

21st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Third reserve; solid record (form figures 112) at novice level on AW; failed to keep up the good work in Sandown handicap on the switch to turf, coming home last of eight finishers; something to prove. |

25th May 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
All three runs in 1m AW novices; conceding 3lb to Yaanaas when mowed down by that rival at Kempton and that was after six months off, so he's entitled to be sharper; dangerous to discount on turf/handicap debut. |

Last win came on AW in 2020; raced just eight times since, proving far from consistent; failed to beat a rival on latest start (wore hood); unappealing contender and yard has a much stronger chance with Ghaly. |

25th May 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Useful 7f handicapper in Britain and seemed to see out the 1m okay when a closing, eyecatching fifth at Meydan on his penultimate run (never dangerous over 7f there the final time); his tendency to start slowly continues to hold him back and this strong a handicap takes no prisoners, but the ability is there to take a hand. |

Struggled for Archie Watson this year, his one placed effort coming when second in a Beverley seller in July (8.5f, good to firm); last of ten back in a handicap in August; too much to prove. |

25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Looked useful when winning 1m AW handicap for Sir Michael Stoute in spring 2023 but has largely been disappointing for new stable this year; went close in C&D seller (good to firm) last month but almost certainly needs to better that performance in this handicap. |
