1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoyed an excellent 2025 when a four-time scorer, including in 5f Group 3 at Dundalk in October; yet to fire this term and failed to beat a rival in 5f Pontefract handicap last month; tried in a change of headgear here. |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Not solid on form shown in UAE and Britain this year but is very useful on his day, being a turf Listed and AW Group 3 scorer last term, as well as close second in the Epsom "Dash". |

Four wins in 2025, notably a Group 3 at Dundalk in October; struggled in two runs in the Middle East this year and he is 4lb higher than when second in last summer's Dash at Epsom, his most recent run in a handicap. |

10th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Good winner at Bath in July (5.5f, good to firm) and runner-up at Brighton one month later; not at his best at Sandown last week though and this demands a career best. |

Ready winner at Bath (extended 5f, good to firm) in July and ran at least as well at Brighton five weeks later; edging back up the weights but Ryan Moore is a positive booking; unlikely to be far away. |

Two 5f handicap wins in Class 5 company this season; effective at this track but he was well held when returned to 6f at Windsor three weeks ago; remains opposable at this trip. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Acts on any ground; successful in handicaps at this course (gamely) and Hamilton (impressively) in May/June; creditable third to Makarova at Sandown upped to Group 3 level, having kicked for home too soon in hindsight; currently in career-best form; could go well. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish. |
16/1 |

8th 12 (5) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better. |
16/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick. |

27th May 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Untroubled to win his first three handicaps and now only 1lb higher than for the last of those; hasn't looked in the same form since being gelded in February, although soft ground was perhaps no help at Chester and the tongue-tie he tried there is swiftly removed. |

10th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Made short work of his rivals in first three AW handicaps, at 7f and 6f, but handicapper appears to have caught up and he faces very different conditions returned to 5f and back on turf; now tongue tied. |

4th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Can start slowly and race freely once she finds her stride; third of four off this mark in a similar race last week and needs to raise her game. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
27th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Record over C&D reads 13226 and she has dropped 1lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last October; will need a solid pace to aim at and could do without missing the break, which she sometimes can. |
5/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have come on Polytrack but she's still lightly raced on turf and has placed at Goodwood (6f, good) and Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in her last two starts; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if this sets up for the closers. |
