13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Very smart performer whose Group 1 record features a win on Champions Day at Ascot (6f, soft) in 2024 and second-place finishes in the last two runnings of the Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good); leading player at the weights, assuming he's in top form (disappointing back at Ascot when last seen). |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Enjoyed his finest hour when winning this race on soft ground last season; slow to get going this term but he shaped as if coming to the boil when second of 17 to Big Mojo in the Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good) six weeks ago, finishing well after being hampered; Ascot suits him and he looks primed for another bold bid. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Highly progressive 3yo last season, going very close in this race (good) before winning the Group 1 British Champions Sprint at Ascot (6f, soft); hasn't hit the same heights this season but last month's third in a Group 3 at the Curragh (6f, good) was a major step back in the right direction and he may be able to build on it; he's one to consider. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Debut second (6f, AW) worked out well; cherry-picked a Redcar win (soft) next time but wasn't seen to best advantage at Haydock (7f, good) in June, when racing freely in front and seemingly not entirely at home on the left-handed bends, nevertheless keeping on for third of 11; can reveal more if getting cover here; yard won this twice in the last nine years. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn but he returned after a short break with a well-held fifth of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) last month; may have needed that run but his sole turf win was two years ago and others are more persuasive. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn and he was in good form when last seen in February; not much wiggle room off this mark though and a lower draw would have been preferable too. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got up late to win Bath novice (5f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding in June; 0-9 for this yard (majority 6f, turf/AW) and first-time cheekpieces (removed) didn't spark an improved effort last time; career-low mark and second go at this trip (first is easily excused) the straws to clutch at. |

6th 4 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Should be well handicapped now but he hasn't built on a good fourth at Newcastle in December in three subsequent runs; connections reach for cheekpieces tonight. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Dips into a 0-70 for the first time but hasn't obviously been shaping as if likely to be cashing in on his reduced mark. |

17th Apr 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Fifth of 14 over 7f here on her 2yo debut last October; favourite for a 6f fillies' novice at Lingfield one month later and ran well for second of the eight runners; even that will need bettering in today's field but she's bred to be useful and the addition of a hood can help. |

27th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Blue Point filly who showed promise at Kempton (7f, AW) last week, finishing fifth of 14 in race won by a fellow Godolphin runner; holds major claims in this field, with progress on the cards. |

Sole success came when trained by Ed Walker in May 2024; down to a career-low mark but hasn't threatened on his recent starts on AW. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when second of nine over C&D last September, but not built on it (mainly over further) since; return to this trip may help, but he is 0-17 since his successful handicap debut. |

12th 8 (9) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Sole success from 20 starts came at Brighton (7f) in May 2024; reportedly unsuited by front-running at Wolverhampton last month but he did shape more encouragingly under more patient tactics at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) 39 days ago. |
