19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Travelled powerfully before wearing down The Man close home in this race 12 months ago; he arrives 3lb higher this time around, penalised for last week's Windsor success (a race in which he was second before his win here last year); whether his draw in stall 20 is a positive remains to be seen though. |

1st 3 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Had two C&D wins under his belt before finishing close up in the last two runnings of this (both on good to firm); not ideally placed when returned to this track in May but he should have a say again now back on a better mark, 3lb lower than last August. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his win at York's Ebor meeting (5.4f, good to firm) last August; Windsor fourth in May was promising and the Wokingham was always going to be a tough task latest; not dismissed. |

27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins as a juvenile; slow start did for him at Royal Ascot but competitive in his two runs either side of that (at 6f), pushing a subsequent improver close at Windsor and only wilting late on when the ground was soft at Pontefract; good chance, other than stall 9 not being ideal. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
9th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Always behind at Royal Ascot (5f) last time; solid second at Windsor (6f, good to firm; form has substance) earlier in June; that reappearance effort gives him a fighting chance. |
5/1 |
|
22th 10 (6) |
21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Came up just short in Listed race at Ripon after winning a Windsor nursery (6f, good) last July; gelded prior to his reappearance 18 days ago when he again ran well at Windsor, finding one too strong but clear of the third; has the early speed to deal with the return to 5f; apart from a couple of blips on heavy ground, his profile is one of steady improvement; there could well be more to come from him. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in April and kept on for close second at Haydock (5f, good to firm) next time; feasibly treated on that form but he hasn't shone on his last two outings and needs to get back on track. |
8/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Looked good dropped to 5f at Ascot in April and ran creditably on his next two starts; low draw excuses a lesser run back at Ascot last month; returns to 6f and shouldn't be passed over lightly. |
9/2 |
|
13 (6) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Impressed over C&D in April, his first attempt at 5f; ran well at Haydock next time and the ground shouldn't have been an issue when only fifth at Hamilton last time; still possible he's happiest on good to firm though and could yet rate higher at the trip. |

2-2 on AW, following his easy nursery win at Wolverhampton in October with a novice success at Newcastle six days later; two runs in Dubai this year, beaten around 2l in a conditions event three weeks ago; further progress possible but it will be needed. |

11th Jul 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Promising 2yo, including a Listed third on heavy ground, but he's made little impact in three good handicaps this year; dropping down the weights but others bring stronger credentials. |
12/1 |
|
16th 26 (5) |
21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
His 2yo win came on soft ground over 6f; showed he could handle faster conditions when a close fifth at Windsor 18 days ago, but hard pressed to say he's well-enough treated to win a race like this. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Coaxed back to form by James Owen last autumn; had an unsuccessful stint in the Middle East over the winter but returned to Owen and won handicaps at Leicester (6f) and Salisbury (5f) in the spring; sold for 25,000gns last month; looks on a tough mark ahead of his stable debut. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Quickly coaxed back to form by James Owen last year, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton (twice) and Chester; struggled on dirt in the Middle East over the winter but his mark dropped quickly and he ran well back on turf in Abu Dhabi in March; returned to Britain with an emphatic success at Leicester (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; today's 8lb higher mark should still be in range but the drop to 5f is a slight query. |

Early promise for this yard but he's been struggling for form this winter; tackles 7f for the first time; stable may have stronger claims with Straight A. |

19th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Rated considerably higher this time 12 months ago but he's down in the weights as a result of some modest runs since March; returning to 6f not enough to tempt this time. |
