9st 2lb |
Ran three times last year, posting a Listed second in October (6f, soft; behind Purosangue), and reappeared with a win in the Group 3 Greenham at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last month, showing pace; surplus stamina will be no bad thing in today's conditions and he can give another good account. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
0-11 on turf with his best efforts coming on slower than good; back up in the weights after a productive AW campaign and he has enough to prove back on turf, all the more so after his tame effort at Newcastle on Good Friday. |

14th 6 (10) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Two 6f wins at Kempton this winter and he ran as well as he ever has when a close fourth at Lingfield five weeks ago (behind Ferrous and Lakers); this stiff 6f should suit and he can make another bold bid. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 2 |

3-3 on AW, showing improved form to win a useful race at Kempton 16 days ago (6f); 3lb rise not beyond him and he should give it a good go in his hat-trick bid. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Just missed out in this race on his reappearance 12 months ago (good to firm); ended 2025 with two good second-place finishes in Listed company at Doncaster and Southwell; each-way shout once again. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Ran well in Listed grade at Salisbury on reappearance; has failed to repeat that form in two major handicaps at Ascot since; returns to the scene of his last success (6f, soft) but this is a stiffer assignment. |
25/1 |
|
1 (19) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Acts on any ground; very useful performer who has Listed/Group form; two handicap attempts (6f) comprise a win at Doncaster last October and an excusable defeat (poorly drawn) in the Wokingham last time; effective over 7f and has the ability to get involved, even off top weight. |

8st 12lb |
0-16 since winning in June 2023 on his second start but short-headed at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on his stable and seasonal debut and posted another good second at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday; he's on the shortlist. |
7/1 |

2nd 4 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't progress for Richard Hannon but, having dropped in the weights, he went desperately close to making a winning debut for Tim Easterby three weeks ago, staying on strongly at Thirsk (7f, good); 1lb higher today but he attained a BHA rating of 106 in his pomp; contender. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Not beaten far at Hamilton in August (5f, good) but only four ran there and he hasn't built on it since; will be 3lb lower from the weekend and easy enough to have reservations. |
25/1 |
|
2 (11) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Smart on his day, as when close up in a Group 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in April 2024; showed he was sharp enough for 5f when going down in a tight finish at Hamilton (good; four ran) in August and although below that level since he'll be suited by a return to good to soft ground in this lower grade than of late; has run well in a visor and it's now refitted. |
8/1 |

6 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Appeared to run well when a close third at Hamilton last month but that effort is sandwiched by two lesser efforts; down in the weights but stable may have stronger claims with Democracy Dilemma. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hasn't fulfilled the promise of his 2023 2yo campaign but he was a close third off this mark at Salisbury four weeks ago (6f, heavy) and will be bang there if repeating that form. |
5/1 |

1 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Won a 2yo novice over C&D in 2023 when with Eve Johnson Houghton; mixed results since and ran very moderately on his return to Britain in a 6f handicap at Ripon. |

11th 1 (8) |
4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Runaway win in a 2yo novice at Salisbury (6f, good) for Eve Johnson Houghton in 2023; mixed results in eight runs since but he was a front-running third in a conditions race in Qatar (7f) in May; on dangerous mark now back in Britain and he's not ruled out on this return to sprinting. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Soft-ground Listed winner last autumn; best effort this term when second to Quinault in 7f Group 3 at York (good) in June; ran poorly with cheekpieces added (retained) in a Doncaster Group 2 last month but he's a major player if back to anywhere near his best. |
100/30 |
|
7th 5 (8) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Best effort this term when second to Quinault at York (7f, good) on penultimate start; 2-2 at Doncaster, namely soft-ground wins in the sales race at this meeting in 2023 and Listed event last November; interesting back here, assuming he takes well to first-time headgear. |
7/1 |
|
6 (11) |
20th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Handles good ground, best form on soft, including Doncaster Listed win last autumn; made a sound return to action when 3l fourth of 12 in 7f Group 3 John Of Gaunt at Haydock; ran to a similar standard when second in a 7f Group 3 at York last month. |

Impressed at Ayr on his debut last May and went down narrowly in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good), doing best of the larger central group; subsequent absence is the obvious concern but he returns at a realistic level and sets an extremely high standard for a race of this nature. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won this event on good ground last year, battling well to beat another British challenger, with Big Gossey a little unlucky in a close third; struggled in two Group 1s in the autumn, including the Ascot event won by Powerful Glory; out of the money, along with the shorter-priced Spycatcher, on seasonal debut at Doncaster in March; this is a deeper race than last year's. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Hampered when fifth to Spycatcher in this race last year; gained ample compensation in Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good; gamely) two months later; didn't give his running in two Group 1s in the autumn but this is easier and he has gone well when fresh in the past; high on the list. |
15/2 |
|
4 (5) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Six wins from just 16 attempts and he landed the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good) in May; however, he was only eighth in this race 12 months ago and finished last in the Sprint Cup at Haydock last month; unlikely to be good enough. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Goes well fresh, winning a Listed AW race (7f) in 2024 before failing to go on and it was a similar story in Bahrain this winter, winning there in December but in the ruck twice since; has a demanding task here. |
66/1 |
|
24th 7 (10) |
20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Career best when getting up late on in a 7f Listed event on the AW in March but he has beaten just one rival in his two subsequent appearances, in the Group 3 Greenham (7f) and a 6f handicap at Newmarket; not a lot went right last time but this stiff 1m could trouble him, as might a tough-looking mark; hood added. |
40/1 |

6th 1 (5) |
19th May 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Dual 6f winner on turf last term and 7f Listed scorer on AW this season; comfortably held in Group 3 most recently; ran well (off 2lb lower) at York on sole handicap attempt but this looks a harder task. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Smart as 2yo, placed in the Group 3 Acomb at this meeting (on good to firm) before winning a Listed race at Doncaster (6f, heavy); retains ability but he's not obviously well handicapped and the suspicion is he would prefer good ground or softer; gelded since last start. |
14/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on any ground; ties in with Indian Run on York form last August; good second in the Richmond here the time before and bagged Listed honours later in 2yo campaign; got going too late in 6f AW Group 3 most recently, shaping as if this return to 7f will suit; could go well. |
9/1 |
|
6th 11 (7) |
29th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Tough performer at two, winning a Hamilton maiden and a Doncaster Listed event (both 6f) as well as chasing home Vandeek in the Richmond Stakes; flopped in the Greenham on his return ten weeks ago (7f, good to soft) and now comes here with a point to prove. |
