22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Narrowly won a Salisbury novice (1m, good to firm) on second start and has been a quiet improver in defeat in Group events since; this season he's been fourth on good ground in the 1m Craven at Newmarket and 1m2f Dante at York, but this handicap debut seems to demand a chunk more. |

16th May 2024 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Narrowly won a Salisbury novice (1m, good to firm) on second start and continued his progress in Group 3s since with second at Leopardstown (1m1f, heavy) and fourth of seven on reappearance at Newmarket (1m Craven, good); readily outpaced by the principals in the last named, so lags behind some of these on form, but this longer trip can aid his cause. |

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. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won handicap debut at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September; well held in Royal Ascot handicap in June but placed either side, leading for long way when third of seven at York (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; the stable's very good form and first-time blinkers are reasons why he might pull out a bit more this afternoon. |

9st 0lb |
Won on handicap debut at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September and, after a lesser show at Doha in December, he resumed improvement with a battling second of eight in handicap here (1m2f, good) in May; up 4lb but may have more to give. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Consistent across his five starts last year and won off this mark at Nottingham (1m, good) last June; reappeared with close eighth of 24 in the Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, good) and could build on that effort today; chance. |
11/2 |

8th 24 (15) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Reliable last season, going close under a positive Sam Hitchcott ride over C&D (good) in May; met some trouble at Newmarket on final start; not discounted, although he'll need a career best from his current mark. |
16/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |

Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in June and has continued in good form, finishing fifth of 16 at Goodwood (1m1f, good) last time in a race which favoured those ridden more prominently; not ruled out. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Talented 5yo, but has endured some lengthy absences in his career and was returning from another 280 days off when seventh of 24 in the Spring Cup here (1m, good) last month; return to this trip is not a problem and he's interesting down in grade. |
9/2 |

7th 12 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won the Golden Gates Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) in June 2024; seen only three times last season and wasn't at his best, although each run came in a highly competitive race; may need a positive ride to get away with this shorter trip on his reappearance, but the handicapper has given him a chance and he's certainly not ruled out. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Got off to a flyer when winning two of his first three starts over hurdles in 2024; has drawn a blank since but he's on a reduced mark and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) three weeks; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's in the mix. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Got off to a flyer when winning two of his first three starts over hurdles in 2024 but has been unable to get his head in front since; his mark continues to drop and cheekpieces are back on replacing a visor; best watched. |

6th 8 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
2-15 over hurdles; winless this campaign but it started quite well and the third at Sandown in December was in a first-time visor that now returns having been missing the last twice; on a fair mark if factoring in Murray Dodd's claim; could stage a revival. |

1st Jul 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Had a near miss in a Chelmsford maiden (1m2f, AW) in March but he's struggled back in handicaps since and was beaten 11l at Lingfield last time; record now stands at 0-9 and he needs a major turnaround with blinkers added; stablemate of Caelan. |

Seven-race maiden with a collection of minor honours on AW up to 1m2f but he was soundly beaten in a handicap at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft; 20-1) on his first turf start since debut; that poses a question. |

11st 4lb |
Struck form with two 2m3f wins at Fontwell (good to soft/soft) this winter, and may not have been suited by heavy ground when disappointing on latest outing (2m4f); could have a say if suited by this new trip. |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner who has come good over hurdles with wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft/soft) on last two starts; up another 6lb but that was a smooth success last time and he's open to more progress; highly respected in hat-trick bid. |

10st 10lb |
1m2f Flat winner who has yet to show anything of note over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago; needs this step up in trip and the tongue-tie to spark considerable improvement. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1m2f Flat winner who has been completely tailed off in all three runs over hurdles; at least goes handicapping off a lowly mark and drying ground would help matters, so watch the weather. |
