27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won this race in 2023 off a 3lb lower mark; yet to strike in 2025 but he's looked as good as ever, catching the eye in a hot 5f handicap at York's Dante meeting and running well when fifth in the Dash at Epsom three weeks ago; dropped 2lb since the last run and he's a major player. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
The winner of nine races, seeming particularly well suited by an easy 5f on slow ground; he has looked to be running himself into top form this year, travelling better than anything when sixth of 17 at York's Dante meeting (5f, good to firm); not at his best in this race in 2023 but fast ground wouldn't have been ideal; every drop of rain to fall will be in his favour and his rider's claim is a bonus; should be arriving on the scene late. |

15th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Best effort this season when third of seven at Ripon 19 days ago (Pilgrim second), keeping on well in the closing stages; has won over 5f on good to firm ground but he's particularly effective on slower going and there's a strong suspicion he'll get taken off his feet early. |

9st 10lb |
Kicked off campaign with three fine runs in defeat (two over C&D and two behind subsequent Group 1 winner American Affair) and he deservedly return to winning ways in the Dash at Epsom (5f, good) three weeks ago; he's up 5lb to a career-high mark but this thriving 5yo has to be respected. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Durable sprinter who has been better than ever this year, placed in good sprints at Musselburgh and twice at York; hasn't got much wiggle room off his current mark, however, and although he ran well in form terms when fourth in the 3yo Dash here in 2023, he looked all at sea on the track in the closing stages; other options are perhaps stronger this time. |

Hugely talented sprinter who has run a string of fine races in defeat this year, including when second to Spartan Arrow over C&D in April (met traffic); he's sneaking back up the weights and his losing run stands at 40 but it would be no surprise to see him in the shake-up. |
