27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Comes from off the pace; has made the frame several times at Group level since his Listed win 13 months ago; not disgraced at Epsom most recently, especially considering the race panned out unfavourably; however, chance again partly depends on whether the cards drop right. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Short-headed in a Group 2 at Meydan (7f, good) in January but he needs a bigger performance if he's to take this and he hasn't been at the top of his game on his three starts since, most recently at the Curragh. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |

All three wins have come at 1m; back after a spell in the Emirates; not far off best when touched off by Elnajmm in the 7f Group 2 Al Fahidi Fort in January; beaten 3l in fourth behind the same horse in a Group 3 last time; blinkered first time now; not appealing at this trip. |

31st Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Short-priced favourite in maidens on first four starts, twice making most when runner-up over 1m in the mud, before getting up in the final 1f at Chester (1m2f, good) in May; 1m4f on good to firm did not work out on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (14-1) but he's worth a second crack at the trip. |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Short-priced favourite in maidens all four starts; twice made most when runner-up over 1m in the mud, before getting up in the final 1f at Chester (good; unraced on firmer) six weeks ago when upped to 10.3f; others have come here by more flashy routes but it looks as if 1m4f will suit him well. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
On his third trainer and has rather chequered form but he won on hurdling debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in May and ran to a similar level when runner-up under a penalty at Kelso later that month; struggled back on the Flat last time but that was in the Northumberland Vase and he's respected back in this sphere; tongue-tie and cheekpieces are added. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
On his third trainer and has rather chequered form but well handicapped judged on best efforts, including his fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) in December off 7lb higher; first and second over hurdles for new yard this spring, with a never-dangerous ninth in the Chester Cup in between; worth a second look. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

Useful handicapper on the Flat; made a winning hurdles debut at Sedgefield last month (2m1f, good), beating an odds-on shot who won next time, the pair well clear; penalised; the one to beat. |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Progress on the Flat featured a 1m2f maiden win on good ground; has wasted no time in raising his profile as a hurdler and this Navan maiden winner pocketed valuable course experience when a rallying third behind dead-heaters Quantock Hills and Teriferma here in December (good to soft); beaten since in a Punchestown heavy-ground handicap won by Slurricane, but can jump better than he did that day and nothing was finishing stronger; has more scope than your typical ex-Flat 4yo; makes the shortlist in first-time headgear. |

Placed twice in small-field handicaps in May; unplaced twice before narrow success at Bellewstown 11 days ago; overcame trouble in running; only 4lb higher now and softer ground may boost his chance of upholding form with Guest Star (third), Pandion Power (fourth) and Are You In Or Out (fifth). |

Showed good form in 2024 with a trio of wins from 1m2f-1m6f and runner-up in three of last four starts last term; plenty to take from seasonal return at Gowran in April when fourth to Holy See (1m4f, soft), rallying again late on; one to consider. |
