13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-time winner and also first past the post in this race in 2022 (demoted to second after causing interference); well treated if retaining all his ability but he was tailed off in the Shergar Cup on his reappearance after a long absence, having hit his head on the stalls; risky. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-time winner, not seen since finishing tenth in the Wokingham here in June 2024 (subsequently gelded); has run some good races at Ascot, including when fourth in this event two years ago, and he's well treated if retaining all his ability, but looks a risky proposition after such a long absence. |

10th 18 (21) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
His most recent wins were 6f on AW but he tends to flag over this trip on turf and his stride shortened in this race 12 months ago; on a more favourable mark now but others should find greater reserves in the later stages. |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
10yo who isn't the same force as last year and may not want soft ground, but he's performed respectably in hot handicaps on his last few starts and is on a dangerous mark now dropping back down in grade; possible player. |
11/2 |

7th 4 (12) |
21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Top-of-the-trees in the best sprint handicaps down the years, winning the Stewards' Cup in 2020 and the Gold Cup in 2022; failed to beat a rival here 12 months ago but the weight has fallen off his back since and his run at the Curragh last week was encouraging; could well have a decent crack at this; refitted cheekpieces replace regular visor. |

Now 2lb lower than when winning a 7f handicap here on New Year's Eve; also ran well at Southwell (6f) in February but his last three runs have been underwhelming; needs a full revival. |

Won a 7f AW handicap at Lingfield on New Year's Eve; also ran well at Southwell in February but his last two efforts have been disappointing; lightly raced on turf but fully effective on fast ground; new visor needs to turn things around. |

The addition of a hood saw her win a good fillies' handicap at Newmarket last September and she followed that with a Listed second over C&D in November; perhaps unsuited by the drop to 5f here three weeks ago when the hood was absent; headgear returns today, along with a new tongue-tie, and she's one to consider. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Has five C&D wins on his resume, including two Wokinghams and two Group 3s; getting on for two years since his last win though and this might be too competitive these days. |
14/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hold-up sprinter who has been a source of frustration since his last win in October 2023; on a lowly mark and his four C&D runs this year have all been competitive; shouldn't be far away. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple wins but he's won just once on turf in nearly two years and is suited by good or slower ground; two fair efforts of late (no help from the draw at Chester recently) but there may be other days. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His turf wins (5f to 6.5f) have come on good or slower; well held in three runs this spring but he offered more at Doncaster one week ago, when third despite blowing the start; mark fine and he needs respecting on this first visit to Chester on his 70th start. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
His turf wins have come on good or slower including heavy ground; well held in three runs this spring but he won three times on AW during the winter and was successful in this race last year; now 2lb lower than for his last win and has claims if he can rediscover his spark. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Should be thrown in on even last season's best but he has found it tough going for Robert Cowell this year; drops in class with cheekpieces fitted but drawn widest and others look safer. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Off a 3lb lower mark when very nearly winning a 6f Class 2 handicap here last October (soft) on final run for John Ryan; however, a case can't be made on what he's shown during a light 2025 campaign. |
33/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Interesting on the pick of his form and he's on the same mark as when second in a better race at Doncaster last October (6f, soft); two modest efforts for his new yard this year but this is less taxing than the Stewards' Cup last time. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his fine third at York's Dante meeting and he confirmed his wellbeing when seeing off 20 rivals back at York two weeks later (7f, good); ran poorly when an odds-on favourite at Chepstow one week later; fully effective over C&D; can't be dismissed. |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Useful in his younger days and, having regressed last year, has found his level again of late; easily beat a big field from the front at York last weekend and a 6lb rise may well be within range now he's back in the groove. |

31st May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Last turf win came off an 11lb higher mark at Newmarket in August 2022 (6f, good to firm) but has won twice on AW since (6f/7f); sound run when close third to Delicacy over C&D last time last time (good to firm) and although 2lb higher is one with a chance. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |

Campaigned almost exclusively over sprint trips; consistent AW form this year includes two wins; effective on turf but hasn't scored in this sphere for three years and he's not the percentage call back at 7f. |

3rd 5 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |

Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in January and he also won at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in February; he's continued in good form on Tapeta on his last two starts and is also effective over this C&D; might have a part to play. |

Seven wins abroad; rated 113 at his peak but nothing since 2023; may come forward from seasonal return at Leopardstown (7f, soft) when fifth of ten, but he remains risky. |

Seven wins in Britain; runner-up for Hugo Palmer in 2022 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; regressive since 2023; improved from a moderate stable debut last September when close fourth in a 7f rated at Dundalk in November; last of ten at the same venue in December; rated 113 at his peak, now down to 79 but remains risky. |

Arrives in fine form and bidding for a hat-trick following back-to-back 6f wins here, emphatically making all on latter occasion; has won over the minimum trip too so rates a big player under a 4lb penalty. |
