16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Bright start to last season culminated in neck second when favourite for this contest; broadly not in the same form since, most recently last of six (behind two of today's opponents) when bidding for repeat success in Sandown Group 2; big revival is needed in first-time headgear. |
40/1 |

6th 4 (3) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Below best in three of his last four outings in 2025 but commenced the campaign splendidly, winning twice (including in this race) then going close in the Group 1 Lockinge; while today may be a good time to catch him, he faces a slightly stiffer assignment in this field. |
12/1 |

3 (16) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Soundly beaten fourth in this last year (soft); an improved performer this season, winning Sandown Group 2 (1m, good) then going close in the Group 1 Lockinge (1m, good to firm); mixed form since, finishing down the field in the Queen Anne over C&D and also in the Moulin last time, but in between he was a close third in the Jacques Le Marois; each-way claims if on song. |

1st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won three 6f events in the early part of 2024, notably the 3yo handicap over C&D on Good Friday; two heavy defeat since need forgiving but it was a strong race on turf on the first occasion and he'd been off for seven month's prior to his recent return (easy to back and looked to need it); still has time to do better but he will need a quick transformation to take this. |

18th Dec 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Big improvement with his wins over C&D and at Newcastle (6f) in February/March; no joy in hat-trick bid at York (7f) in May but he still has potential after only eight starts and is 3-5 on AW; needs a close look back in trip on his return. |

9st 7lb |
Son of Belardo who showed fair form in his three juvenile starts in the autumn, coming in a solid sixth of ten in 1m Salisbury novice on his final start; he appeals as the sort to take a step forward now venturing into handicap company. |

5th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Twice-raced colt who is still open to progress; promising fourth at Newbury (7f, good to soft) then nearly justified favouritism at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft) where he went down by only a nose; remains of interest. |

19th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Reacted well to blinkers when winning over 1m at Kempton in August; last of 14 over that same C&D at the beginning of this month but ran better when seventh of 14 over 1m3f there on Wednesday, albeit carrying no win threat; turns out again quickly. |

Contrasting performances at this venue (1m) since wearing blinkers, winning in August but finishing last of 14 this month; goes into unknown territory over 1m3f and it's not clear what to expect from him. |

Winless since 2024 and he beat only two home in a 7f Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for now. |

7th 5 (8) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

He has run just once at this track and it resulted in his best performance for some time, finishing a neck second over this trip in January; not so good at Kempton last month but he drops back down in class today. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 3-4 this season for new stable includes two wins in major handicaps; took his form to an even higher level with impressive performance in a conditions race at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to soft) on last appearance; one of two Andrew Balding-trained runners who are going into deeper waters but may be capable of further improvement. |
20/1 |

1st 3 (9) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won in style at Newmarket (1m1f) in May, first home in the centre group in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m) in June and tidy winner of the valuable John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f) three weeks ago; more to prove on ground softer than good, which he tried four times in previous seasons; going great guns but needs markedly better form to upstage all of today's rivals. |
11/2 |

8 (19) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won over 1m2f for Sir Michael Stoute and scored in style on his stable and seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m1f, good) in May; first home in the centre group when sixth of 30 in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) last month and he could have more to offer now back up in trip; interesting contender for connections who won this in 2019 and 2021. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Overall record of 0-16 but he's fairly useful on the Flat and has shown some promise over hurdles, including when second at Southwell (2m, good) two weeks ago; this is a deeper race but he's been dropped another 2lb and is not ruled out. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 |
9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Useful on the Flat but beaten 26l and 16l in two handicaps over hurdles, the latest on good ground here; has to step up but that's realistic. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
0-10 in handicaps; twice third over 1m4f at Ascot this year but last two efforts have been below par; dropped another 3lb but it's not enough to tempt. |
9/1 |
|
1 (6) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
0-9 in handicaps; best form when second in the closing 1m2f race on this card last year; some respectable shows over 1m4f too, including with first-time blinkers (kept since) on penultimate start; last of ten back at Ascot last Saturday, admittedly in a Shergar Cup race and not beaten far but others have more pressing claims. |
9/1 |
|
10 (3) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
0-8 in handicaps; easily his best 2025 efforts were two thirds over C&D on good to firm, including when on the heels of Night Breeze on latest start, wearing first-time blinkers, but he needs to find extra. |

20th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Second in maiden here (7f, soft) in July on second start, seeing his race out well to pass Kings Valley late on; major player on that but he flopped when favourite at Newbury (7f, good to soft) over three weeks later. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

14-1, about 4l fifth of eight in novice at Newbury (6f, good) three weeks ago showed significant ability but two others in this have shown more. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |

Has form figures of 11542 over C&D; good spell last summer featured three wins elsewhere; evidence from previous campaigns suggests he'll step up on reappearance duck egg and go well. |

A three-time winner (around 6f) last season but he ended the term with a rare poor effort in the Portland at Doncaster in September; has gone well fresh though so no surprise to see him bounce back here. |

Didn't show much in her sole 2yo run and same story when last of five on her return at Haydock (1m, soft) in April; now steps up to 1m4f on her AW debut and she needs a transformation. |

Won over 7f at Wolverhampton and Lingfield in December and he's held his form with placed efforts in last three runs including a close call over C&D in January; still looks on a workable mark and he's strongly respected back up in trip. |
