1st 6 (6) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Fourth of 11 in this 12 months ago (soft); mixed form this season and she blew the start at Glorious Goodwood two runs ago, but she's caught the eye on occasions and was a Listed winner at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in May; capable of being in the mix. |

5th 5 (6) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Dual Listed winner (7f/6f) who was a strong-finishing fourth behind two of these in 6f Group 3 here (good to firm) in July; blowing the start ruined her chance in 7f Goodwood Group 3 on latest outing; could still be capable of better but it is very much needed. |
20/1 |

8th 4 (14) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Two-time Listed winner (7f/6f) who returned to form with a staying-on fourth against males in the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes at Newbury 11 days ago (6f, good to firm; denied clear run); shaped that day as though the return to 7f would be a plus and she's one to consider. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Went close behind Holguin in this race last year before winning the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good); had some struggles last autumn/winter, but he returned after wind surgery with a near-miss in a Group 3 at Epsom (tongue-tie added) last month; that was much more like it and he's a major player if he can back that up. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Listed winner on soft ground who won the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) last July before excellent second in the Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August; he's lost his form on his last four starts but perhaps wind surgery will have done the trick; wears a first-time tongue-tie and capable of having a big say if rediscovering his best. |
9/1 |
|
13 (19) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Better than ever this year, winning Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) in July and running just as well when second in Group 2 Hungerford at Newbury (7f, good to firm; strong form) in August; drawn wide when down the field in the Foret at Longchamp, and may well bounce back, with this drop back to 6f unlikely to inconvenience him; possibilities. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Back to winning ways off this mark at Lingfield (1m, AW; cheekpieces first time) in April; he hasn't built on that and others may have his measure. |
14/1 |
|
7th 10 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but not at the same level at Epsom (8.5f, good) and Kempton (7f, AW) since, and needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |

8th 2 (11) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Added to a good record in the spring when winning off 2lb lower at Lingfield (1m) last month in first-time cheekpieces; a long way below that level on turf since and this trip is a bare minimum round here, especially from a wide stall. |

29th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

3rd 6 (3) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won this event on good ground last year, battling well to beat another British challenger, with Big Gossey a little unlucky in a close third; struggled in two Group 1s in the autumn, including the Ascot event won by Powerful Glory; out of the money, along with the shorter-priced Spycatcher, on seasonal debut at Doncaster in March; this is a deeper race than last year's. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Hampered when fifth to Spycatcher in this race last year; gained ample compensation in Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good; gamely) two months later; didn't give his running in two Group 1s in the autumn but this is easier and he has gone well when fresh in the past; high on the list. |
15/2 |
|
4 (5) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Six wins from just 16 attempts and he landed the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good) in May; however, he was only eighth in this race 12 months ago and finished last in the Sprint Cup at Haydock last month; unlikely to be good enough. |

3rd 2 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dropped down the weights last summer and he has rediscovered his spark this time around, following third-placed efforts here and at Goodwood with a comfortable Salisbury success (all over 7f); probably stays this far but he has yet to be placed in his six 1m starts so it will be breaking new ground for him to win today. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Hasn't won since defying a 10lb higher mark at Glorious Goodwood two years ago but his two efforts this term are very encouraging, latest back at Goodwood (7f, soft); attractively treated and firmly in the mix. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two creditable shows in midwinter, including over C&D, but his sole win was back in 2023 and he ran no sort of race on this track in January; needs to shrug that off. |

|
8th 9 (4) |
14th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

It's now 19 outings since his last victory but he wasn't discredited when fourth of ten in 1m Southwell handicap 11 days ago; possibilities. |

Hard to make a case for him being on a good mark on what we've seen in handicaps but perhaps returning to sprinting will help this free-goer; Rossa Ryan back in the plate for AW debut. |

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Five-race maiden; gelded prior to creditable second in Beverley novice event (7.5f, soft) last time; receives weight all round on only his second handicap attempt, so may have a fighting chance. |

|
2nd 1 (2) |
26th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Found further improvement to be a 2l third on soft ground at Chester (6f) and has been gelded since a quiet nursery debut at Glorious Goodwood; has to be of interest in a novice that lacks any depth. |
5/2 |
|
10th 13 (12) |
3rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Has improved with each of his three runs (all at 6f) and he was a good third at Chester (soft) last time; there's every chance he'll be fine at 7f and could continue to progress; not ruled out on nursery debut. |

Six-race maiden for whom lots went wrong (failed to settle and hung right) when tailed off in maiden here (1m, soft) in April; however, he's shown promise previously and the drop back to sprinting and return to better ground could bear fruit on today's handicap debut. |
