19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive in 2023, 2024 and 2025; that included getting pipped in the 2024 Cesarewitch (2m2f, soft) and two big runs last year at Goodwood; runner-up in his 2024 and 2025 reappearances, though not in such good races as this one; would have a lot more to prove on good to firm ground than good or softer, but this 2026 return is off a competitive mark. |

2nd Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Progressive in 2023 and 2024, nearly winning last season's Cesarewitch on soft ground; fast ground and a dodgy draw were feasible excuses for his last two defeats; C&D winner and still on a competitive mark. |

24th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-13 on AW but she showed useful form for the level when a close third to a good yardstick at Newcastle (1m4f) in January; this is her first Polytrack run for a year but she handles the surface; not far away. |
10/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
13th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has got back on track for her current yard, third of eight in 1m4f classified event at Southwell 41 days ago; ought to be thereabouts. |

3rd 1 (4) |
31st Jan 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Close third in similar event at Newcastle (12.5f) this month on classified debut and second start for new yard; now 0-11 on AW but has possibilities kept to this grade. |

15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Yet to get his head in front but he turned in his best effort of 2024 when sixth of 11 in 1m4f Lingfield classified event 11 days ago; possibilities with his stamina drawn out more. |
16/1 |

6th 7 (1) |
4th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; bits of turf form last season give him a shout at this level but he's been well beaten at Bath in his two runs this spring; enough to prove. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
15th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Regressive maiden who started favourite when a close third to Asense and Uther Pendragon over C&D last autumn; didn't offer much on his recent comeback here, when well behind two of tonight's rivals. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Classified winner over 1m4f on the Lingfield AW last month but only seventh there two weeks ago; he can be up and down. |
10/1 |

7th 1 (6) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Came from the rear to get up to win a similar contest over C&D last Tuesday; has more on his plate here with a 5lb penalty but current winning form is rare in such contests so he comes back here with decent claims. |
3/1 |
|
1st 7 (4) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-31 on the AW; placed in similar events at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) in his last two starts, but it's only modest form and likely he will need more to take this. |

28th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Still seeking her first win (0-8) but runner-up on two occasions at Yarmouth (1m2f-11.5f); seemed to take the AW switch in her stride at Chelmsford (13.5f; fourth of eight) but whether she fully proved her stamina is questionable. |

Runner-up over 1m2f here in June (good to firm) but well beaten on both outings since, last time with cheekpieces tried (left off here); others stronger. |

0-7, her struggles continuing when tailed off in a 1m3f Windsor handicap last week (first-time cheekpieces); visor turned to this time. |

1st Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Six-race maiden whose struggles have continued in three handicaps (1m/7f/1m2f) and now goes in cheekpieces; limited appeal. |

11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner over this trip on turf in 2024 and didn't run at all badly when fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m2f, good) in June after 221 days off; seven previous goes on the AW leave him with something to prove. |
13/2 |

4th 2 (3) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last win came in emphatic fashion over C&D (good to soft) in October 2024; still 6lb higher and he may just need this after 221 days off. |
12/1 |
|
12 (12) |
31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2-19 overall, with both his wins in 2024 over 1m2f; three thirds from his five starts (all 1m2f) this season and he would have been close up at Leicester last time but for some interference, but he did not shape that day as if this shorter trip would suit. |
