Did well last January-April over 1m4f on the Tapeta here and at Newcastle, and he returned from seven months off with a promising C&D performance (4-1) in December, not getting the best of runs; one to consider. |

Took his turf record to 0-6 when well held in a York Dante meeting handicap in May but he's a much healthier 4-9 on AW, including a win over C&D; big player if ready to roll after seven months off. |

Better than ever when quite a comfortable winner of a 13-runner race at Southwell (1m4f) four weeks ago; raised 5lb to a clear career-high mark so another improved effort will be required to follow up. |

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. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |

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. |

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. |

Won a 2m Goodwood handicap in June (good) when wearing cheekpieces for the second time; hasn't run quite as well since (beaten 47l at Goodwood last time); down in grade and visor on again (no obvious improvement last time he wore one); chance. |

All three wins on good to soft, the latest in October 2023; third off 5lb higher at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in March but disappointing since. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Has become well handicapped, but is usually seen over further and the drop in trip didn't inspire him at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) last month; others preferred. |

10th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Prolific winner (7-13 on Tapeta) who switches to a visor from cheekpieces having twice finished held off her career-high mark last month; this trip's as far as she wants in this company and she needs to find a bit more for the new form of headgear. |

8th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner who has only ever raced on the AW and has a fine straike-rate on it (8-17); not seen to best effect when fourth of six in a slowly run contest at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) last Saturday, but should be suited by the return to this sort of test; shortlisted. |
11/2 |

The winner of eight of her 13 runs in handicaps, taking another step forward with cheekpieces added when keeping on strongly over 1m3f at Southwell 16 days ago; four wins at this track, two over this trip, and she's one to take seriously. |

A fairly useful 1m6f winner for James Ferguson in 2022 but he's failed to beat a rival in three runs for his current yard, last of five over 1m4f here 16 days ago; others appeal more. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
The lack of any win since 2021 sees him down to his lowest mark since handicap debut in 2019; stacks of form from 2023 gives him a big chance in theory and he wasn't far away in February three starts ago; while hard to dismiss, it's also hard to make him the percentage call. |

Now a stone below last winning mark; however, he's far from solid on 2024 AW form and losing spell goes back to 2021; by no means certain to take advantage of the drop in weights. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Stays a deal further but has always liked it here and has run well a couple of times over C&D this year; a good pace would help but finished behind Say What You See on turf last time and others hold stronger claims. |

7th 12 (1) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Absent 348 days before last September but usually competitive since regaining his fitness and went down by a head last month on latest outing; tenth in this race in 2024 on his only appearance at Musselburgh but he's firmly in the mix on other counts. |
11/1 |

2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual course winner (1m4/2m) who is just 1lb higher than when successful at Redcar (1m6f, good) in December, but his last two efforts over C&D suggest he needs a return to further. |

His last four wins have been over C&D, albeit spread over nearly three years; latest came by a nose in July and he was runner-up at Haydock on penultimate outing, before losing his chance at the start at Chester latest; well capable of being on the premises, including on soft. |
