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. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won 1m4f/2m handicaps on the AW early this year; beaten just over 7l in hot handicaps at Carlisle (1m3f) and Royal Ascot (1m6f) on last two outings, shaping much better than ninth of 16 suggests in the latter (big move to dispute lead early in straight) but his turf strike-rate is 3-37. |
33/1 |

9th 9 (18) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won 1m4f/2m handicaps on the AW (3-36 on turf) earlier this year but this is a different ball game altogether and his run at Carlisle 17 days ago was no more than average; plenty of others appeal more. |
50/1 |

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. |

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. |
