4th Nov 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won two of his first three starts (second to the subsequent 2000 Guineas winner in between the wins); some fair races on turf this summer and could prove well handicapped back on AW. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2025 with a win and better than ever when a close second of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) on reappearance; Thirsk was disappointing but that was a Class 4, so this is easier. |

9th 11 (16) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 5yo; ended 2025 with a win and he showed himself better than ever when a close second of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) on reappearance; still of interest despite a 2lb rise in the weights. |
10/1 |

2nd 1 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 5yo; revived by blinkers last summer, following his Redcar fourth with a cosy win at Ripon (5f, good) 296 days ago; this 3lb higher mark is unlikely to prove beyond him but he is taking on match-fit opposition today. |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft ground; won at Thirsk (6f, good) last spring and recorded his second AW win on his Southwell reappearance last month; up 4lb but he still looks feasibly treated and should get a good tow into this race; key player. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with a whimper but he has slipped back down the weights as a consequence; won on last year's reappearance and also ran a fine race after a 175-day layoff in 2024 so unlikely to be lacking in fitness; one to consider. |
8/1 |

19th Sep 2025 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb
|
Got no run when favourite at Thirsk a fortnight ago and a line can be put through that race; effective in a big field and has an each-way shout on this year's best form (on various ground); wears first-time cheekpieces. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Could do no wrong in handicaps as a 3yo, winning all five at 6f and 7f (good to firm and good to soft); had some excuses when only fifth in this last year (soft; favourite) and was entitled to need the run on her belated Ayr comeback last month for a new yard, albeit under the pump from some way out; could well be a lot sharper back on good ground. |
9/2 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Another success story in 2024, her smooth win in the Silver Cup completing a six-timer; subsequent Listed defeat at Newmarket (6f, soft; poor track position) is easy enough to excuse; highly likely this mark is still in range but it can't have been plain sailing for her to be reappearing so late in the campaign; remains a filly of interest but perhaps one for another day; first run for Ivan Furtado. |

24th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last month and won easily at Musselburgh nine days ago (1m, good; unraced on softer); strong claims under a 6lb penalty. |

15th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Second to Oceanic Wonder at Redcar (1m) and improved for the 1m2f when off the mark at Chelmsford; back in trip here but up just the 2lb and should be competitive. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Finished off strongly for third in a 6f handicap at Newcastle last February; has a chance if near that level but her return to action in January was a low-key one. |
