13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Multiple winner at 1m2f-1m4f, including over C&D, but he never found his best form in 2024 and it's 12 months since he was last seen. |

10st 7lb |
Held up; landed a pair of 1m4f wins last summer but hasn't managed to hit the same heights this time round, finishing down the field on three of his last four starts; others arrive with more pressing claims. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
All four wins at about this trip in 2023, including over C&D; not totally clear whether she's still the same mare since back from an absence but she gave Moon Over The Sea some grief at Windsor (about 1m3f, good to firm) on her recent return to turf and has another good run in her. |

2nd 11 (5) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Winless since 2023 but she comes here in decent nick, fifth of 12 in 1m4f classified event at Lingfield in March; possibilities. |

C&D winner who enjoyed a productive 2023; losing run up to 18, but she was placed in a handicap over C&D last month and has each-way claims again. |

26th Jul 2023 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Tailed off on final 2022 start and had wind surgery this March; back in the groove six days ago to win in clearcut fashion at Epsom, where he has a good record; has a bit more to prove today dropping back from 1m4f and carrying a penalty, but he has a 7lb claimer enlisted. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Finally off the mark in Britain in May 2024 and runner-up on next four starts, including when coming from well back over 2m4f at Glorious Goodwood; however, he flopped when just 9-1 for the Cesarewitch (soft) that October and not seen since; that was his only run in Britain on softer than good; well handicapped were he to return at his best on this AW debut after 588 days off; market may guide. |
14/1 |
|
16th 20 (10) |
12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Unraced in Britain on softer than good; finally off the mark in Britain in May and runner-up all four starts since; came from well back over 2m4f (a 1m step up in trip) at Glorious Goodwood and lost out in a duel from over 2f out in the Cesarewitch Trial over C&D three weeks ago; 5lb claimer gets the leg up this time; wore cheekpieces once (well beaten) in 2023 and now tries blinkers; strong each-way chance if they have no adverse effect. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Bath (1m2f, firm), beating Galaxy Wonder by half a length on the latest occasion; up another 2lb, but still a big player in his current mood. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Most wins on the AW but it was his third success on the grass when coming home 2.5l to the good over C&D two weeks ago; defying the 5lb rise shouldn't be beyond him. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf but he's in form, creditable third at Lingfield on Good Friday last time; gained last win off 5lb higher (in July 2024); shortlisted. |

21st Sep 2023 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Not proven at this track but the best of his six AW runs came on latest attempt when winning a five-runner race on Wolverhampton Tapeta (1m6f) in July; back to that form when close third at Bath (1m6f) on latest outing; big player if that form is reproduced. |

6th Sep 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won over this far at Wolverhampton and didn't run too badly back over 1m4f at Brighton when lacking the gears to land a blow; could go well. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Kept on for third in recent selling handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good; behind Velvet Vulcan), making the frame in his fourth consecutive Flat race, but career strike-rate now stands at 0-31. |
12/1 |
|
8 (6) |
8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-24 on the Flat but he wasn't running badly in this sphere prior to finishing tailed off over hurdles three weeks ago; not ruled out from this career-low mark with Oisin Murphy taking over. |
4/1 |
|
9th 6 |
17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-24 on the Flat and 0-5 over hurdles; not seen over jumps since 38l defeat in 2m2f handicap here in October and his tendency to race too freely is always a worry. |
50/1 |
