15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Gained a third win when beating Desert Shadow at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in May and he went down narrowly over that C&D (good; third has won since) four weeks ago; leading claims from an unchanged mark. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Newbury (1m, good to firm) this month and the return here makes him especially interesting given he is 2-2 over C&D; drying ground a positive. |

Took full advantage of the drop into Class 4 company when readily seeing off five rivals at Redcar last week (1m, good to firm); penalised in a deeper race but he still commands serious respect. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
2-8 on Flat for the Gosdens, gelded before showing useful form twice (once on Tapeta) staying on over 1m6f last September/October; sold for 200,000gns in October into the premier jumps yard and made his hurdle debut in the Triumph at Cheltenham no less, showing his jumping inexperience however and pulled up at 150-1; this should be much more his cup of tea. |

Reserve; two AW wins last year for Gosden yard (1m4f/1m6f); 0-5 on Flat turf and pulled up on stable/hurdle debut in March when thrown in at deep end in the Triumph; however, his top Irish jumps trainer has won the last two runnings of this race (also saddles Charlus) and he could have a part to play. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 5-15 on AW, including two wins at Southwell, for Gay Kelleway; far from solid on his form since last success but market support should be heeded on debut for new stable; still in same ownership. |
10/1 |

10th 4 (6) |
19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 57y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
5-14 on AW; stopped quickly in last year's Northumberland Plate and it was a similar story in added cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (1m6f) the following month; afforded time off thereafter, returning with a sound effort at Southwell (2m; beaten a neck) in December; key player from a 1lb higher mark. |

31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Completed an AW hat-trick at around 2m during the winter, but has disappointed in his last three starts including when beaten miles in the Northumberland Plate (2m, Tapeta); will need the first-time cheekpieces to make a big difference. |

15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Regressive maiden for two yards who's done a lot of his racing over further and proved wildly inconsistent this year; the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers will need to make a difference. |
20/1 |

6th 3 (3) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |

0-12 but twice beaten only a length in handicaps, for Andrew Balding at Sandown last summer (1m6f; 11lb higher) and for this yard at Musselburgh two runs back (1m4f); had a shocker last time but he's better than that. |

0-11, but has run some of his best races at around this trip as when beaten just over a length into fourth of eight at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last month; could go well from the same mark. |

9st 7lb |
Beautifully bred and showed promise when fifth of 12 on his Lingfield debut (1m2f, Polytrack) in November, but didn't back it up in his next two starts including over this C&D; may show more now handicapping after three months off, but will need to. |

Beautifully bred and showed promise when fifth of 12 on last month's Lingfield debut (1m2f, Polytrack), but took a step backwards at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; others make greater appeal. |

5th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win came over this C&D in July and he again ran well when third of 11 at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; may not have reached his ceiling yet and he's an interesting contender in receipt of weight. |
6/1 |

3rd 9 (12) |
6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Improved form upped in trip after a gelding operation when off the mark in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m6f, AW) in July, always prominent; last of six when 20-1 and front-running at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) two weeks later, beaten only 7l but he now has something to prove on turf. |

9st 3lb |
Improved form upped in trip after a gelding operation when beating the two market leaders in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m6f, AW) two weeks ago; up 6lb but that was a clearcut success last time and he should have more to offer at staying trips; big player. |

Didn't show a great deal on debut but different proposition at Southwell (1m3f, sole run on Tapeta) 20 days later, winning a seven-runner novice; well below that level back at Kempton latest but perhaps this return to Tapeta will turn things around again; also tries headgear on this handicap debut. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Maiden gelding by Frankel; started his career with the Gosdens; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his two most recent races; recovered from interference at the start to finish fourth over this trip at Down Royal in May; leading contender based on his second to solid yardstick Jurality over 1m5f at Navan; same good 7lb claimer aboard now. |

Maiden produced one of his better efforts on latest when not far behind a couple of these rivals at Down Royal (2m, good); place shout if he backs that up, but overall profile suggests that's not guaranteed. |

Some promise when sixth of 12 on his Lingfield debut (1m2f, Polytrack) last month (just behind Lanfranco), but failed to beat a rival at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) 13 days ago; bred for stamina, but a good deal more will be needed. |
