16th Jun 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Triple winner at up to 1m6f, all on a sound surface; stepped up on two early-season efforts when scoring at Newmarket last month; went up 3lb for that and was beaten over 8l at Hamilton (1m5f, good) latest; more needed. |

9st 3lb |
Can front-run; surged back to form at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) two weeks ago, going on 3f out and seeing off the strong challenger Too Friendly; acts on good to soft; up 3lb but seriously considered. |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Seen far more often over hurdles; lost his way in that discipline but smooth 2m winner on the Kempton AW in March (first Flat start since 2021) and he's run well on turf since over 1m6f and 1m5f; often wears cheekpieces, which return today after he was hooded instead on penultimate start and had no headgear on latest; others are preferred for the win. |

2nd Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Seen far more often over hurdles (winner on varied ground); lost his way in that discipline but smooth 2m winner on the Kempton AW in March (first Flat start since 2021) and close second of six to Hope You Can Run at Newmarket (1m6f) two weeks ago; often wears cheekpieces, but hooded instead on latest start and has no headgear today; may still have more to offer on Flat. |

19th May 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Seen far more often over hurdles (winner on varied ground); has lost his way in that discipline but he was a smooth 2m winner on the Kempton AW in March (first Flat start since 2021) and was not discredited when tenth in the Chester Cup nine days ago; first-time hood replaces cheekpieces; may still have more to offer on Flat. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up in the 2020 St Leger and won on AW (2m) in January 2023; has a mixed record since, the best of which were his two good runs last August when second here (2m; will stay further) and fifth in the Ebor (good to firm); that form gives him a shout (1lb lower today) and his latest start was a step back in the right direction, but he does not look the percentage call. |

Runner-up in the 2020 St Leger and won on AW (2m) last January; has a mixed record since, the best of which were his two good runs last August (including fifth in the Ebor); that form gives him a shout and he may have needed his recent reappearance here, but he does not look the percentage call. |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
10yo; latest of 12 wins was in September 2022; fourth in this in 2021 and eighth in 2022; missed nearly all of last season and has not provided a persuasive case this term, but he is now 5lb below his last winning mark. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Exposed 12-time winner; second run back was a lot better than the first when a front-running fourth at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm); down another 3lb and hard to rule out. |
8/1 |

4th 3 (8) |
19th May 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Absent 295 days before his only race last season, when seemingly not discredited behind a 1-5 favourite in a two-finisher Listed race in September; normally reliable and fully effective on AW but no show when 40-1 in useful AW race six weeks ago and this 10yo has questions to answer despite subsequent 4lb drop; rarely seen on softer than good. |

21st Apr 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has often blown the start and he refused to jump away at all without the usual blinkers (back on here) last month; is capable off this mark but a lot will hinge on his mood and how he handles the stalls. |

14th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Handles Tapeta but is best known for his Chelmsford work and has three poor efforts to his name here, including one at a short price; is long odds-on to blow the start too, so doesn't come without risk, going without headgear for the first time in ages. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat; lightly raced in this sphere and made an encouraging start for his new stable after eight months off when fifth of ten in 2m3f Warwick novice 40 days ago; can take a step forward on his handicap debut with cheekpieces added. |
9/2 |

5th 6 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Had plenty of racing on the Flat and ran to a highly respectable level last year at up to 2m; runner-up in his second run over hurdles at Uttoxeter (good) last summer and could run well if fitness doesn't hold him back after a lengthy absence. |
9/2 |

7th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Only wins in 31 starts were over 1m in France and the Crisfords failed to win with him; however, six runs for Michael Keady have yielded competitive runs over hurdles and in a small-field 2m handicap at Newbury; 1m3f perhaps too short these days so Windsor last time is forgiven (in trouble before the saddle slipped). |
