26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Capitalised on his drop in the weights when coming from off the pace to win at Goodwood (5f, good) last month; disappointed back at Goodwood (6f, soft) 19 days ago; stable has stronger claims elsewhere. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a two-year barren spell when getting up late in a 5f handicap here 16 days; 3lb higher mark to deal with but he has a Group 3 win on his record and conditions won't faze him; respected. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Acts on any ground; on a losing spell that goes back to Group 3 success two years ago but is on a very attractive mark and his Class 2 form this term includes a couple of respectable efforts; this combination of a drop in grade and assistance of Jamie Spencer (up for first time; regular jockey for the owner) may be the time to catch him. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has won and gone close in Group 3s (5f) on this track; seems to have lost some firepower this year but she wasn't far away in a 6f Listed race here in May nor was she disgraced in the Group 1 Flying Five in Ireland recently; might have a better chance than these terms suggest, at least for a place. |

14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 3lb |
On a long losing run, and now to 93 from the 107 mark she held when failing to make an impact in this event last season; in rear in the Temple Stakes won by Mgheera; down the field in the Wokingham and the Coral Golden Handicap. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Losing run stretches back over two years; happiest on slow ground; tailed off in the Wokingham six weeks ago and returning cheekpieces aren't enough to make her of interest. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
3-3 at Ayr, all in Listed races including a dead-heat in this race in 2024; ran another fine race when third to classy stablemate Night Raider in the Group 2 Temple Stakes four weeks ago; obvious chance back down in grade and rain won't bother her. |

3rd 9 (12) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Three Listed wins, latest at Ayr (5.5f, soft) last September; returned with Listed third at Bath (5f, good) but well beaten in Longchamp Group 3 (5f, soft) since; fifth in this race in 2024; may again be vulnerable. |
14/1 |

3rd 1 (1) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
Her three Listed wins have all come at Ayr, but she is fully effective elsewhere and ran right up to her best when a neck second at Ascot when last seen in October (5f, soft); can go well fresh and she is a leading contender despite her 3lb penalty. |

9st 9lb |
Formerly high class; ended a long losing run at Sandown (5f, good) last month when visored for the first time; beaten at odds-on at Yarrmouth six days later; another 3lb higher today but not handicapped out of things. |
8/1 |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ended a losing run of over four years when the well-backed winner of a 5f handicap at Sandown (good ground; visored first time) last week; still has plenty of handicapping scope given his back class and this should be run to suit him. |
13/8 |

9st 9lb |
Over four years since his last win and made only limited impact at Meydan earlier this year before a midfield finish on his belated AW debut; however, he's on a very dangerous mark should the visor trigger something; best on good or faster ground so watch the weather. |

12th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Won four for Clive Cox, including the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock in 2024, his last victory; yet to hit those heights for this yard and has been soundly beaten on his last three starts; 0-2 on the AW but did run well here behind Valiant Force in February; blinkers replace cheekpieces worn last time. |

High-class form for Clive Cox included a Group 2 win at Haydock in 2024; has failed to win since; last four runs for this stable not encouraging; mark sliding but needs to rediscover best; cheekpieces used for first time in Ireland. |

Had a fine year in 2023, his first with this stable, when an Ayr Gold Cup win was the highlight; has only run well in one of his four starts this year and hopes rest on a wind operation having a positive effect; second and first in two runs at Newcastle. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Very lightly raced in recent times but latest effort, namely fifth in the Wokingham, suggests he retains a very useful level of ability aged seven; however, needs to prove he's still capable of peak form, which includes Group wins at Newbury and the Curragh. |
10/1 |

5th 5 (27) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Classy in his prime when winning a Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good; acts on good to firm) in May 2024; only intermittently raced since owing to physical issues and his latest comeback, at Doncaster in March, ended badly; however, he's had a second wind surgery since and is now tongue tied, so judgement suspended with his trainer bullish ahead of this first handicap run. |
40/1 |

12th 8 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Pounced late under Jamie Spencer to snatch Curragh Group 2 (6f, good) in May 2024, but has raced only three times since, last seen finishing a respectable second in AW Listed event at Lingfield in February 2025; others carry fewer risks but he's no forlorn hope if ready to roll after 419 days off. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Capable 5f performer on his day but has not made the frame in six runs this year; a slow start meant he couldn't adopt his usual front-running tactics at York five weeks ago, and his mark is tumbling, but he's risky. |
20/1 |

19th 4 (18) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Smart front-runner on his day; the handicapper took a dim view of his Beverley win last September and he has found it tough going this time around, including at Redcar 11 days ago after a wind op; he is well handicapped again now though and should have a big run in him if his high draw proves no hindrance. |
