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. |

2nd 4 (3) |
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. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
0-6 this year but has often run really well, finishing second at Goodwood (2m, heavy) last month and fourth of 22 in the Cesarewitch (2m2f, good to firm) nine days ago; she's a leading candidate today. |
2/5 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
No win this year but she's run with credit every time except for in the Chester Cup; serious traffic problems when fifth of 20 off today's mark at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm) on penultimate start; each-way player. |
12/1 |

2nd Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Perhaps handicapped about right but was bang there in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes (good to firm) when last seen in June and today's softer surface will be welcomed; good chance. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Useful Flat racer who is still unexposed over hurdles and was close second in Perth handicap (2m, good) on latest outing two months ago; only 2lb higher here and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |
7/2 |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Smart handicapper on the Flat; a tad disappointing so far over hurdles given his ability but was close up in a C&D handicap three months ago when a stronger pace would have suited; could yet raise his profile in this discipline; 2lb out of the weights. |
5/1 |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Useful Flat performer (second in the 2024 Northumberland Plate); not as good over hurdles so far, winning over 2m at Ayr on debut in November (good; first run after wind surgery) and last time finishing runner-up at Kelso (2m, good); quite interesting on h'cap debut. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
No win since 2022 but has a pretty solid record over 2m here, most recently when beaten just under 3l on penultimate start; second in the 2022 Cesarewitch over 2m2f but he came 11th in the last two renewals of this race; worse than good to soft ground looks against him. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Useful on his day; no win since 2022 but has shaped encouragingly at Chelmsford (1m6f) and Goodwood (2m) this term, staying on both times; can't be dismissed off current mark. |
10/1 |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Finished fourth in this race last year, then second here next time; ran encouragingly in AW event on reappearance; capable of being involved but is badly out of the winning habit, with losing spell going back to 2022. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Durable veteran who won twice on the AW early this year; however, he was soundly beaten at Newcastle on Good Friday and faces some unexposed rivals on his return to turf. |
25/1 |
|
10th 3 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Snapped a losing sequence at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) in January before close third at Wolverhampton (2m), and returned to winning ways at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) latest; this 9yo is in a more competitive race today but there remains mileage in his mark judged on his old form; might not be far away. |
14/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 2 |

Still very useful at the age of nine, getting his head back in front at Southwell (1m4f) on New Year's Day; split reopposing pair Roaring Legend and Brasil Power when creditable third of six over 2m at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but he has yet to win over this trip. |

29th Mar 2024 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Nine AW wins, the most recent in this event 12 months ago when it was still a conditions race; has slipped to an attractive mark but the veteran has a doubt over current form, having posted two duck eggs this year; perhaps on the wane. |

Really smart on AW earlier in his career; wasn't beaten that far when sixth of 19 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle last summer but he's been below that level in three AW starts this winter. |

23rd Nov 2023 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Scored twice in France but failed to score in Ireland, albeit showed useful form on occasions; unlikely to defy top weight, having failed to figure at Kempton (2m; last of eight) on debut for Jamie Osborne. |
25/1 |
|
8th 2 (8) |
8th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Dual 2yo AW winner in France, but 0-8 for Joseph O'Brien and makes his debut for another new yard having changed hands for 13,000gns last month; only previous attempt over this far when in midfield in last year's Irish Cesarewitch and may be best watched for now. |
12/1 |

5th 2 (4) |
20th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
10st 6lb |
Dual 2yo AW winner in France ran well in defeat at times for this yard last year up to 1m4f; respectable return in a C&D Listed race when 4l behind stablemate San Andreas; can improve from that. |
