21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
16lb below his last winning mark, but losing run now up to 15; might get more of a pace to run at than when fifth of nine over C&D last time, but others have more to recommend them; stable also runs Simiyann. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
8st 3lb |
Handicapper has been relenting and he showed a lot more with third of 14 in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (about 2m, Tapeta; 25-1) one week ago; a repeat of that puts him bang there; 2lb well in. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |

Has got himself well handicapped for good reason and his recent thirds were none too threatening; doubts remain; another tweak on the headgear front. |

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 |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |

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. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Eight AW wins, two last winter in 2m handicaps; however, he failed to beat a rival in Group 3 at Sandown (2m, good) on turf return, has tons to prove on turf record (0-5) and even best AW form does not look good enough. |
25/1 |

7th 4 (8) |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive on AW in the winter with 2m handicap wins at Kempton and Newcastle; however, only fifth of 12 at Newcastle (2m) last month and the suitability of turf is questionable. |

18th May 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Group 3 winner (2m/1m7f) for other yards in 2023; he didn't beat many last February-October and 1m4f for last month's reappearance (40-1) was too short; the latter was probably his most encouraging of five runs for current yard, however, and he's been dropped another 4lb since, which makes it 17lb below his peak mark; not ruled out. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Dual Group 3 winner (2m/1m7f) for other yards in 2023; he didn't beat many last February-October, including in four races for current yard, and although he's not been sent to the Middle East to start this campaign and is now 13lb below his peak mark, this short a trip asks a big question. |

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. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won the 2024 Northumberland Plate (2m, AW) and also a Group 3 handicap in Australia (1m4f, good) last October; usually held up and he came from the back when seventh of 20 in this race last year; whether he's well enough handicapped to win this time round remains to be seen but he's shown enough in his two British starts this summer to demand each-way respect. |
28/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won last season's Northumberland Plate (2m, AW) and also a Group 3 handicap in Australia (1m4f, good) last October; some fair efforts in Meydan earlier this year, and also in the Northumberland Plate a fortnight ago following a break, but he needs to raise his game to take this. |
12/1 |

8th 1 (7) |
28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Usually runs well at Newcastle, where he won this race last year in good style; took a big prize in Australia last October and struck up a solid sequence over the winter; absent 119 days and 12lb higher than 12 months ago, which surely demands a career best, but needs respect. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) last month but found out off 3lb higher at Yarmouth since, albeit another creditable effort. |
14/1 |

3rd 1 (1) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Can lead; course winner who ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; a 3lb rise for that success still leaves him well treated on old form. |
3/1 |

1st 3 (3) |

10th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came in Ireland as a 2yo; 7lb lower than when third of eight at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) in December, but modest in his last three starts including on stable debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) in May; cheekpieces given a go but others stronger. |

Maiden winner at two when with Dermot Weld; had some placed form in Britain for his next yard but two quiet runs on the AW when last seen and makes stable debut in a warm handicap. |

Kickstarted 2026 with C&D win in January but his more recent form is far less encouraging, last of nine at Chester (2m) last time; others are preferred. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |

Six-time AW winner, most recently off today's mark in January; struggled when back on turf this month, though, and ground slower than good will be a serious worry here. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

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. |

Record of 3-11 on AW; creditable second to Citizen General at Kempton two starts ago, then kicked for home too early in the Marathon Trial where he understandably ran out of steam in the latter stages; 1-1 here and can't be dismissed. |
