18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Battling 7yo who can front-run (doesn't have to) and did so to pulverising effect in the Gold Cup here (2m4f) this June, winning by 7l; that's his career-best form but several runs are not far behind it, including his two other wins this season; latest was from Sweet William at York (2m); won this race in 2023, fair third last year and very much the one to beat this time. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Battling 7yo who can front-run (doesn't have to) and did so to pulverising effect in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm) two months ago, winning by 7l; favourite that day, having gone head to head with the best stayers around in 2023 and 2024; the one to beat, though the 3lb penalty and probably the shorter trip make his task a bit more difficult. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Can front-run; peak days in 2023 and 2024 saw him go head to head with the best stayers around, last term beaten just 1l in this race (good to firm) by the champion Kyprios; that old rival is now absent and this battling 7yo warmed up with a dominant performance in four-runner race at Sandown; looks sure to go well again. |

20th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Solid efforts at Kempton (2m, AW) in his two outings this season, off 105 days since; seen less often on turf in recent campaigns, but his two minor honours on turf at Sandown last summer also give him a chance if the ground (he's steered clear of softer than good) is suitable. |

6th Apr 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won this race in 2021 and fifth of six (raced freely) in 2023; it's more than two years since he last won (also C&D) and he's now a 9yo but his C&D third two months ago showed again that he should not be far away. |

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Probably no ground worries; C&D Trial winner in 2020; over two years off before this season and his smart form of 2021 has not been recaptured, with reappearance offering plenty of hope but well beaten since in the Goodwood Cup, Ebor and a good Salisbury conditions stakes; needs a big revival. |

15th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Smart stayer in 2021 and he returned from a massive absence with a creditable third in a Listed race at Sandown (2m, good) in July; had tough task in the Goodwood Cup next time but he finished tailed off and it was a similar story in the Ebor three weeks ago; has some questions to answer and he needs a major upturn in form. |
4/1 |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped judged on peak effort but that came when smart stayer in April 2021; absent more than two years before creditable third of six in Listed race at Sandown (2m) this July, followed by a heavy defeat in the Goodwood Cup but that was a stiff task (66-1); the blinkers worn this season are replaced by a visor. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up in the 2020 St Leger and won on AW (2m) in January 2023; has a mixed record since, the best of which were his two good runs last August when second here (2m; will stay further) and fifth in the Ebor (good to firm); that form gives him a shout (1lb lower today) and his latest start was a step back in the right direction, but he does not look the percentage call. |

Runner-up in the 2020 St Leger and won on AW (2m) last January; has a mixed record since, the best of which were his two good runs last August (including fifth in the Ebor); that form gives him a shout and he may have needed his recent reappearance here, but he does not look the percentage call. |
