24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 0-7 this year but he has encouraging recent form; ties in closely with Brosay on penultimate effort and ran well, faring best of the near-side group, in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) latest; wears cheekpieces for first time on home soil; major contender. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Reinvigorated by gelding/wind operations in March; good seconds at York and Ascot either side of a York eighth (behind Northern Ticker) where plenty went wrong; 3lb ahead of the handicapper; capable of being involved. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Gelded and underwent wind surgery after an unsuccessful stint in Bahrain over the winter; two good runs in 6f handicaps in midsummer, notably his York second in July (6f, good); only eighth back at that track two weeks ago but he stumbled leaving the stalls and then got a bump in the final furlong when still in contention for a place; missed an intended run due to soft ground as a 2yo and could probably do with it drying out. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Enjoyed his finest hour when winning the Palace Of Holyrood House Stakes at the Royal meeting in 2024; gained his first win since when narrowly landing a 5f handicap at Musselburgh in April; two solid efforts have followed and he would appear likely to make another bold bid. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
In-form 5yo; overcame trouble to win at Musselburgh (5f, soft) in April and was a creditable fourth in a big field here (6f, good) ten days ago; should be thereabouts again off an unchanged mark. |
10/1 |

4th 9 (3) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Mixed fortunes since winning the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot in 2024 (good to firm); got back on track to win at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last month despite being denied a clear run; his peak performances have come at 5f but he was a C&D winner in his 2yo season; respected up just 3lb for last time. |

Prominent racer; three 5f wins when trained by Karl Burke, the latest a handicap off 1lb lower last July; runner-up in two of her five runs for Mick Appleby but she dropped away having forced the pace at Goodwood eight weeks ago; should be able to grab the stands' rail which could be advantageous but there are other pace influences to contend with. |

8/1 |

5th 1 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Last-gasp winner on AW at Lingfield (7f) in February but she's struggled since and was last of six at Catterick two weeks ago; that took her turf record to 1-23 and she has plenty to prove back at this trip. |
16/1 |

In good form on AW over the winter, winning at Wolverhampton (6f) and Lingfield (7f); 1lb lower than for the latter win but she hasn't maintained her form back on turf this summer, including behind Velvet Rhythm over C&D 16 days ago. |

Suited by good/firmer; 0-7 since winning last year's Hilary Needler at Beverley (5f); however, went close at Nottingham (6f) last week, returning to her best form; possibilities off the same mark provided she takes well to first-time headgear. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

Winless since 2024 but he comes here in good nick, not seen to ideal effect when ninth of 12 in 6f Southwell AW handicap last month when racing wide; of some interest off a 3lb lower mark with yard going very well. |

9st 6lb |
Can lead; on a tempting mark relative to past turf form but he's 0-7 on the AW and has been well beaten since only just failing against Arlington over C&D in January; couldn't count on refitted blinkers, replacing a visor, returning him to form. |
5/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Triple turf winner who is 0-6 on AW surfaces; went close over C&D on his penultimate start (first-time tongue-tie and visor combination) but was well beaten without the visor back here latest; visor now returns but hard to be confident of another better effort. |
6/1 |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
All four wins at 5f on good ground or softer, bolting up in handicap at Goodwood in May; well below par in two subsequent runs but she's had over two months off since and could be revived; not without hope if so. |
20/1 |
|
2 (8) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Her three handicap wins have all come over C&D on good ground or slower; it was only a 0-88 that she won here on her reappearance in May but she fairly bolted up, easing her way into contention from well off the pace and skipping clear inside the final furlong; reverted to front-running in an Ayr Listed event last month but overdid things and dropped away late on; 11lb higher than for May's win but still a strong contender if the ground doesn't dry out too much. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Most of his success has come on AW but he showed at Nottingham last spring that he could get the job done on turf (5f, good); looked as though his recent seasonal return would bring him on and his lacklustre end to 2025 has seen him drop to a dangerous mark. |
