2nd 5 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won the Melrose Handicap over C&D in August 2024; 0-9 since but he was runner-up in five of those races, including when beaten a neck in C&D Listed event four weeks ago, narrowly in front of Mount Atlas; the lack of a recent win is a touch frustrating but he's clearly a leading contender. |

2nd 6 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won the Melrose Handicap here in 2024 (good to firm; for 3yos) and another good run over C&D (good to firm) when third in this last year, 4l behind Al Qareem; not at his best at Ascot last month following a break, and there's a suspicion he may find one or two too good even if back to his peak, but he might not be far away. |
7/1 |

5th 7 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
No win since Melrose Handicap at York (1m6f, good to firm) in 2024 but he ran very well in 1m4f Group races on first three starts last season and returned to that form when a close second in Saudi Arabia (1m7f) 11 weeks ago; that puts him back in the picture even though he's unraced over this far. |

2nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten just over a length when placed in two starts over 1m2f on Polytrack/turf in May; not guaranteed to appreciate the extra two furlongs on dam's side of his pedigree, but his form still puts him right in the picture. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Gained a first win in this sphere in five-runner handicap at Fakenham (2m) when last seen in January; up 3lb but has gone well fresh, so not ruled out after a break. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner but 0-11 as a hurdler and can race freely; has shown he can be competitive off even higher marks but has to bounce back from two below-par efforts. |

14th Jan 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; has ability but well held in two Polytrack handicaps (2m/1m4f); hard to enthuse in first-time cheekpieces on Tapeta debut. |

18th Dec 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Showed promise in novice/maiden events (1m2f/1m4f) this year but he struggled switched to a handicap at Lingfield (2m, AW) two weeks ago and that was after a non-completion on his hurdling debut; still unexposed and now drops back in trip but he has some questions to answer. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Comfortably made all over C&D and made most at Wolverhampton (8.6f; also last year); two weak finishes in 2026 and fellow front-runner Post Rider could spoil his chance here. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (11) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last year, the latter on Tapeta (8.6f) in November; also effective on turf but made a low-key reappearance last month and needs that run to have brought him on. |
20/1 |

10th 10 (2) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer who won two handicaps in the second half of last year, including at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in November; that was in a tight four-way finish but he's only 2lb higher on his return and still has scope for further progress; needs a close look. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Inconsistent 22-race maiden but he has form over C&D and was runner-up over 1m6f here (soft) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can get back near that level and he seems versatile ground-wise. |
4/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No threat to Rupert The Prince when second here (1m6f, soft) ten days ago and now 0-21 but that still goes down as a good effort and he'll be fine over today's longer trip; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |

2nd 11 (14) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-20; made the frame in five of his seven turf starts this season, including twice at this track; there was a lesser show when the ground went good to soft on latest outing but each-way contender if that was a blip. |

4th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-8 and pretty much tailed off in her last two races at about 1m6f on the AW; however, she was second of ten in 1m5f good-ground handicap at Lingfield before those disappointments and cheekpieces (fitted for all those runs) are now off; one of the more interesting contenders given the yard she's from. |

Two competitive runs in 1m3f/1m5f turf handicaps at Lingfield before trailing home last at Chelmsford (wore cheekpieces the last twice); if forgiven that final run - and a modest AW record - then a case can be made. |
