12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
In foal to Frankel; sold to new owners for 3,000,000gns last December and broke her Group 1 duck with Meydan success (6f) on reappearance; didn't live up to market expectations returned to 5f at Royal Ascot, albeit not ideally drawn; normally consistent and made the frame in several top sprints prior to her Dubai performance; likely to rebound. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Very reliable mare who stood a tough 2024 season with fortitude, regularly on the premises in the top sprints, including when fourth, having every chance, in this one (the first of two runs at the meeting); she achieved more when going down only narrowly from a poor draw in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (5f, good to firm) in August; sold for 3,000,000gns in December; returned to action with a Group 1 win at Meydan (6f) in April and she looks set for another big run at the top level. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
A tremendous campaigner over the years with two Stewards' Cups to his name; in and out this season and only twelfth in the Ayr Gold Cup three weeks ago, but he has clear possibilities on his fast-finishing second to stablemate Northern Ticker over C&D in August; 1lb lower today. |
16/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Two years since his last win but this dual Stewards' Cup winner is more realistically treated these days and he gave his younger stablemate Northern Ticker a race at York last month; not so good at Doncaster last week and he will do well to win this race in his fourth attempt (seventh in 2021, runner-up in 2022 and sixth last year). |
16/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Hasn't won for just over two years and whether the extra half-furlong suits remains to be seen, but he kept on well for a head second of 20 at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago and that performance bodes well for a prominent showing today; versatile ground-wise. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Slow-starter; on a dangerous mark but he is without a win since October 2023 and one 7f run didn't see him improve for the trip. |
28/1 |
|
10th 9 (13) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Useful on his day but is on a long losing run and has a doubt over current form; by no means sure to take advantage of a reduced mark. |
25/1 |
|
8th 11 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Well beaten at Doncaster on his return but he wasn't well drawn and has a modest record fresh; stepping up to 7f will give him more time to claw back the ground he's likely to forfeit at the start; on a dangerous mark and he's a lively outsider, for all his losing run stretches back to October 2023. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 4yo turf season with two very good runs, winning an Ayr Listed race (good to soft) and close up in a Group 3 at Ascot (6f, good); not obviously bet-worthy on this year's form but it's possible she'll sing a different tune for the first-time tongue-tie. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Close second to Kerdos in the Temple Stakes at Haydock (soft) on seasonal debut; lesser efforts in races won by Believing and Makarova since, last time under change of tactics (normally a front-runner); peak performance remains his win in last year's Group 1 Nunthorpe at York (good to firm). |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
6th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who enjoyed an excellent campaign last year, the highlight his Group 1 Nunthorpe win at York (5f, good to firm); not quite at his best yet this season, but a close second in the Group 2 Temple at Haydock (5f, soft) was no disgrace and he stumbled leaving the stalls when a beaten favourite last time; tops the ratings and commands major respect. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who looks well handicapped on his win at Haydock (5f, good) last autumn but he's been disappointing at Musselburgh and Goodwood this spring; has some questions to answer and he needs a major revival with headgear removed; stablemate of Rhythm N Hooves. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Useful front-runner who returned with a good third in 5f AW listed event at Lingfield in February; not at his best on soft ground at Musselburgh since but can bounce back here. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Tough 5f specialist who usually makes the running; a respectable third at Lingfield six weeks ago should have blown away the cobwebs; concedes weight all round but he's a classy type and should go well. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Close third in Listed company at Wolverhampton last month on his first attempt at 7f and he wasn't beaten for a lack of stamina; not at his best in a hot sprint handicap at Newcastle on Good Friday; no surprise to see him bounce back with a big run. |
10/1 |
|
8th 5 (9) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Did well in early 2025 on AW, winning a C&D handicap in good style and following up in Listed company at Lingfield; finished third in the corresponding race 12 months ago when rated 5lb higher; running himself back into form this winter, most recently a close third over 7f four weeks ago, and he looks primed to give Clifford Lee a winning return to the saddle. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Strong AW form in the first half of 2025; awkward leaving the stalls in his two runs this winter and the form has been well short of his best; steps up to 7f for the first time. |

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. |
