18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
British raider was in fine form at Meydan at the turn of the year, winning a Listed (yielding) and a Group 2 (good), both over 5f; didn't get the smoothest of runs when beaten 3.5l in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot last time (behind Rosy Affair and Jakajaro) and could get closer here if getting a clear passage. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
One of his best domestic efforts when winning a C&D handicap last July; seemingly improved when successful in 5f Listed and Group 2 events at Meydan (yielding and good) in midwinter but has much more to do in this company. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 2lb higher mark; came into that race in good form, however, whereas this time around he was a remote last of seven at Beverley; revival not impossible but others are more solid; stable also run Lion's House. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three course wins early in the year and he is now 3lb lower than for the latest of them; dropped down the weights on the back of some disappointing turf runs and he should be a more potent force back under these conditions. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
On a good mark, fully 14lb lower than when winning last season's Great St Wilfrid, but 0-14 at 5f and he is drawn out wide. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
12lb lower than for his win in the Great St Wilfrid last August (6f, good to firm); mixed bag in 2026 but he is the type to pop up soon, albeit probably over a shorter trip. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) off a 9lb higher mark; some creditable efforts since but he's hard to predict and has struggled at Chester and York in his last two starts; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back on this drop back in trip. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Has a stunning record at this meeting, winning four of his five attempts, including this race for the last three years (soft, good and good to soft); well held of late but he ran no worse last time out than he had in his prep race before the 2023 win and he's weighted to have a big chance despite being 3lb wrong; Hollie Doyle rode for his 2021 win; drying ground could be the sticking point, however. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Unplaced in this race in 2021 and 2023 and short of his best when last seen on AW in February; his last three wins have come in the same 5f handicap at Glorious Goodwood and that race looks a better fit than today's. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Regressive 8yo who is yet to add to his Listed AW success in February 2021; did nothing wrong when second under Sam Feilden at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month but the forecast rain is unlikely to aid his cause here; younger rivals are preferred. |

20th May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 4 |

Well treated on AW form and soft ground was a possible excuse returned to turf last time; has the ability to win this race but he's on a very long losing run. |

26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten about 2l when sixth of 16 at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last month but he's been below his best in two starts since (6f/7f); without a win since November 2023 and now steps back up to 1m for the first time in over three years; best watched. |

11th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Versatile trip-wise and was runner-up over 6f here (good) in April but he's not matched that form since and is now 0-21 since his last win in November 2023; stablemate of No Nay Nevermind. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Not easy to win with these days (last turf win was in August 2022); good C&D second in April; hasn't fared quite as well since, although fair run when 2.25l sixth of 16 over C&D three weeks ago. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Superb run of AW form at 5f in the autumn, winning three in a row, two from the front; has remained in form since but he couldn't sustain his effort back on turf at Goodwood last time and needs to show he can reproduce his sand form on grass. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 on the up and he improved again when second in the Listed Hever Stakes at Lingfield four weeks ago; a 3lb rise demands extra but this speedy sort shouldn't be discounted. |
