2nd 6 (8) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
German 1m4f Group 2 winner who returned from an absence to finish second in two German Group 1s last autumn; reappeared with close Listed second at Chantilly (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, a run she may improve for, and she's the one to beat this afternoon; a visor replaces cheekpieces. |
10/11 |

3rd 7 (6) |
19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won seven of 11 races, including a 1m3f Listed contest in good style at Baden-Baden in May (her only start on soft ground) and a 1m4f Group 2 there in clearcut fashion in first-time cheekpieces when last seen (good to soft); Queen Of The Pride proved 3l too strong in the Lancashire Oaks on good ground, but perhaps softer is ideal and she should get that today; considered. |

2nd 7 (1) |
6th Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Her highly progressive 3yo campaign concluded with a Listed win in Germany (1m2f, good) last September and she's continued the excellent work this season, with another German Listed win (1m3f, soft) and a convincing Group 3 triumph at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last Friday; exciting and holds strong claims. |

7th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Won his first two starts (1m, AW); second in a 1m2f handicap at Newcastle in July was a career best but he couldn't back it up at Newmarket four weeks ago; low mileage so can't rule out. |

29th Jul 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Hot favourite when scoring over 1m on AW in his first two starts last September but he's been disappointing in last two runs, including on recent handicap debut at Kempton; in good hands and still early days but he needs to get back on track at this new trip. |

1st Jan 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Six-time course winner who was a good third over C&D on his penultimate run and he had an excuse when returned to 1m4f here last time; now drops back in trip and has possibilities if he gets a good pace and some luck. |
12/1 |

8th 4 (5) |
8th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won in April and has mostly run respectably since; familiar face here, including with seven wins and nine seconds, but in a 68-race career he's only once (well beaten at 1m4f in 2019) been beyond 1m2f. |
8/1 |

3rd 1 (10) |

On an 11-race losing run but he's a seven-time course winner (1m/1m2f) who ran well when fourth over 1m here on Tuesday; might not be far away. |

8st 12lb |
Won a Wolverhampton novice (8.6f, Tapeta) in April but she failed to beat a rival in her first two handicaps and was down the field again at Kempton (1m) last time; still lightly raced but she needs cheekpieces to make a difference at this new trip. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Was having only his second AW start when successful at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) last October and was back off the same mark when third of nine in first-time cheekpieces at Beverley (1m2f, good) last month; still unexposed in this sphere and one to consider back from a short break. |

The last three of his ten wins were last May-September (two over 1m4f then one at 1m6f) and he's 6-18 at Catterick, unraced here since two placed efforts in 2020; well beaten at three other tracks this term but he's now back to his last winning mark. |

15th Aug 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Only win was over C&D in early May, but has lost his form since (including over C&D) and others have stronger claims. |

29th Jul 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Off the mark at the 14th attempt when landing a C&D handicap in May but that was a narrow success in a Class 6 event and he's been well below that form in both subsequent runs; now returns to AW but this is a big step back up in grade and others are more convincing. |

Of his five AW wins, two have come at this track, one over today's distance; respectable third at Chester (2m, good) on his reappearance in May but needs to be at the top of his game here as he is 5lb above his last winning mark. |

9st 13lb |
Won back-to-back staying races (2m) here early in 2022 before struggling in the AW Championships Marathon (80-1); hasn't seen a whole lot of action since, but his recent C&D third to a stablemate of Genesius leaves his trainer something positive to work with; best to monitor only at this stage. |

1m3f winner at Southwell and a dual 2m winner here; should be on a good mark but has been very quiet in two runs on either side of an absence. |

10th 5 (8) |
29th Jul 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Came into his own with three AW wins (1m3f-2m) two winters ago but he had only two runs (Tapeta/turf) last season and finished in rear at big prices in both of them; still lightly raced for his age but has something to prove after 385 days off and others are preferred. |
