Promising second of ten at Newmarket on last month's debut (7f, good to soft; winner useful); beaten at odds-on at Sandown four weeks ago but he may have found the heavy ground too demanding; big chance if reproducing his debut effort. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Finished fourth behind stablemate Two Tribes in this race 12 months ago when 8lb lower and enjoyed his finest hour when making most to win the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) last September; successful in Dubai early in the year and although his results have been mixed since returning to Britain, he retains plenty of ability; down the field over 5f here on Tuesday when a change of tactics failed to bear fruit; better can be expected today. |

Made all in last season's Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) and competes off the same mark here after taking Toby Moore's claim into account; won over 5f at Meydan during the winter and gave it a good shot last time at Ascot (5f); finished fourth in last year's Stewards' Cup so handles this track; respected. |

Heavy ground the likely reason for his modest effort at Chester (1m2f) last month, but was only been beaten a neck over the same trip at Epsom (good) the time before; record on the AW reads 321 and stable 31-131 (24%) here in past five seasons; respected. |

Cost 220,000gns in April; shaped encouragingly when fourth of 16 on C&D debut (8-1, beaten about 7l) in August; demonstrated improvement next time, when narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton (8.5f), and remains open to more progress; strong claims. |

220,000gns 2yo; had wide draw to overcome, and he couldn't, on debut in relatively low-key 7f novice at Chelmsford but there were signs of ability in fourth of 16; no surprise if he benefits from the run and shows more. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

On a handy mark again now and his first three runs of this campaign confirmed he retained plenty of enthusiasm; off the boil more recently but he drops in class with Henry Callan booked; one to be interested in. |

10st 8lb |
Won twice over C&D (good/soft) last summer; has reached the frame on four of his five 2026 starts but beaten 6l when fourth at York latest and the return to Sandown needs to help him recapture his peak form. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

Has done well with cheekpieces, winning twice at 1m2f at Sandown (good/soft) last summer; started 2026 with three creditable in-frame efforts (including good to firm) but needs to shrug off a lesser effort over C&D four weeks ago. |

Hooded both starts; green off the bridle on his Salisbury debut (6f, good) but kept on well in the closing stages; 13-2, raced wide when disappointing at Chelmsford (7f, AW) later in August, hanging left; needs to put that way behind him. |

Green off the bridle on his Salisbury debut three weeks ago (6f, good) but he was keeping on well in the closing stages and the form has since been boosted by the winner (won the big sales race at York last week) and the fourth since; 7f should suit; strong contender. |
