17th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
1m4f winner from the front (under Mason Paetel) at Newmarket last May who also scored with a prominent ride over hurdles at Cheltenham (2m5f) in November; had a bit to prove on AW (and over 2m on Flat) when always behind at Kempton three weeks ago but should be benefited from that run. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
1m4f winner from the front (under Mason Paetel) at Newmarket last May who also scored with a prominent ride over hurdles at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft) in November; not seen since tailed off trying nearly 3m in December; returns to Flat with a bit to prove on AW and over 2m on Flat. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Career-best effort on the Flat when bagging a 1m4f course handicap (good) in May; found out off higher marks in the Copper Horse at Royal Ascot and Northumberland Plate at Newcastle the following month; in common with stablemate East India Rock, he's been given a three-month break ahead of this step up to Listed company; has something to find on form with a couple of these. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Comfortably won 8.5f handicap at Epsom (good; unraced on firmer) in April; good second over 1m2f at Goodwood (heavy; made most) ten days later and back at Epsom (good to soft) on Derby Day; raced freely in mid-division for the latter race, so he should be able to find extra if settling better but having such a low draw again may not help. |
8/1 |

2nd 8 (1) |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Comfortable winner of 8.5f handicap at Epsom (good) in April and good second of six at Goodwood (1m2f, heavy; made most) ten days later; another 3lb higher today but has strong claims, for trainer who won this race in 2017, 2019 and 2022. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Has won only once in 12 starts but is mostly consistent and was second in a Class 4 at Goodwood (1m6f) before a lesser effort at the same level at Sandown; his win was over a similar trip to this and he should be on the scene. |
4/1 |

Only 1-11 but consistent and was just ahead of Percy Shelley when runner-up at Goodwood last time (1m6f, good); a player. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Can make the running; four handicap wins last year and she looked back to her best when a close fifth of 11 at Newcastle (1m2f, AW; favourite) on latest outing, possibly playing her cards too soon; all turf starts have been on softer than good; may well be set for another bold show. |
7/1 |

5th 4 (2) |
26th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Highly versatile regarding tactics; 2-2 on AW (Polytrack last August and September); those were the second and third of last year's four handicap wins and she ran respectably when reappearing at Epsom (11-1; a little better than the bare result suggests) three weeks ago; with that behind her, it's possible she can resume progress; strongly considered. |
5/2 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
All turf starts have been on ground softer than good; won five of her eight races, including 1m2f/1m3f handicaps on four of her last five; highly versatile regarding tactics (made all to score by a neck at Newmarket in October when last seen) and, although she's gone up another 6lb, it's hard to rule out further improvement if she returns on song. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5lb lower than for last April's Yarmouth win (1m2f, good); solid fourth at Windsor two weeks ago and now drops in class; high on the list. |
4/1 |
|
4th 7 (2) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
In good form in the first half of 2025, including a 1m2f win at Yarmouth (good ground) last April; ended the year quietly and he was only in midfield in a 1m2f handicap at Nottingham on his reappearance last month; on a dangerous mark if using that as a stepping stone. |
15/2 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
A bit below form on his final five starts last year but a revival can't be ruled out on return having dipped to 3lb below the mark he defied at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last April. |

19th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner; completed hat-trick in 1m handicaps in the summer, and ran creditably again when fourth of eight over 1m2f at Sandown last month; just as effective on AW; should give another good account of himself. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
18th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner; completed a hat-trick in 1m handicaps this summer, the last leg at this track; disappointing at Haydock next time but better than ever when beaten a head at Southwell (1m, AW) 16 days later; all his improvement has been at 1m, having tried 1m2f twice in the spring before he was tongue tied, so this step back up in trip asks the key question. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
26th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Completed a hat-trick in 1m handicaps this summer but he came up short in his bid for a four-timer at Haydock 16 days ago; promise in one C&D run in March; another career best required to win. |
