2nd Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Progressive in 2023 and 2024, nearly winning last season's Cesarewitch on soft ground; fast ground and a dodgy draw were feasible excuses for his last two defeats; C&D winner and still on a competitive mark. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
His march through the staying ranks included going mighty close in the Cesarewitch (2m2f) last October and winning at Goodwood (2m) last month; perhaps good to firm ground helps to explain a lesser show at Royal Ascot (2m4f) 11 days ago; acts on Tapeta but drawn widest and needs to resume progress. |

1st Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Fair on the Flat but has not shown much over hurdles; pulled up on last month's handicap debut at Southwell (2m, good to soft); moves up in trip and swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

4th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Ordinary maiden on Flat for Hugo Palmer and tailed off in three hurdles on ground ranging from heavy to good to soft; in a respected yard but has it all to prove on handicap debut. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
14 months off before this season and below form; however, she rallied when third of five to Manxman at Carlisle eight days ago and makes appeal on what she showed last May/June on good or firmer, including in a run at this track. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 47y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Thorough stayer whose wins have all been at about 2m; arrives in reasonable form and has placed on two of his three C&D visits; might be the one to follow Laravie home. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Thorough stayer whose wins have all been at about 2m, his two AW successes coming on Tapeta; 4lb higher than the most recent of those and has each-way claims. |
15/2 |

5th 12 (1) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All five wins at 2m, including three on soft going, latterly at Catterick in October; went back-to-back at Newcastle (AW) at the start of the year and fourth at Ripon (2m, good) on latest outing was close to his best; same mark, so needs to find extra, but he can't be ruled out. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
10yo whose last three wins came in this race (2022, 2023 and 2025) and it's now named after him; did it in good style from the back last year (good to firm) and is now 3lb higher; made a satisfactory return to action at Yarmouth last month and the chief concern today is probably whether there will be enough pace in the race for his stamina to kick in sufficiently. |
11/4 |

4th 6 (3) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Shed his maiden tag in the corresponding race in 2021 (good to soft) and he has added a further four wins, the last three in consecutive renewals of a 2m handicap at Newmarket; chased home a stablemate in this race last year after a six-month absence; back from eight months off today and perhaps vulnerable to younger legs. |
10/1 |
|
6 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Course winner (extended 2m5f) who was third in this last year; form figures this term read 2123, the win coming at Newmarket (2m, good to firm) in June; solid. |
