Won at Goodwood in June and went very close, albeit in uncompetitive field, at Pontefract on penultimate start; ties in with Duke Of Verona on latest effort; acts on AW. |

Won a 2m Goodwood handicap in June (good) when wearing cheekpieces for the second time; hasn't run quite as well since (beaten 47l at Goodwood last time); down in grade and visor on again (no obvious improvement last time he wore one); chance. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
No win since 2022 but has a pretty solid record over 2m here, most recently when beaten just under 3l on penultimate start; second in the 2022 Cesarewitch over 2m2f but he came 11th in the last two renewals of this race; worse than good to soft ground looks against him. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Useful on his day; no win since 2022 but has shaped encouragingly at Chelmsford (1m6f) and Goodwood (2m) this term, staying on both times; can't be dismissed off current mark. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

9st 4lb |
Beat Dancing In Paris by a neck to win this race last year off 6lb lower; also won at Chester in September and two of his three starts this term have been creditable, so he's in the each-way picture. |
14/1 |

10th 5 (10) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
One of three for the yard; won the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m, AW) last June and has a 4-7 record at Chester, although his two performances in this race were muted (from double-figure draws); reappearance six weeks ago matched his best 2025 form but a bit extra will be needed. |
14/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |

Won the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) last June and bagged a second valuable 2m handicap success of the year at Chester in September; however, disappointing in this race in 2024 on his only race at Kempton and this stage of the season may not be the time to catch him. |

8st 7lb |
Won a soft-ground maiden but best efforts when it's not so deep; 0-10 this season, nearly winning at Musselburgh in August but beaten over 20l on last two outings; down the weights but it's hard to have confidence in her. |

Ex-Gordon Elliott, third in this race last year from out the back off 2lb higher; won over hurdles in May on debut for Olly Murphy and not disgraced here next time, before a poor show over hurdles 25 days ago; not impossible if that latest run can be forgiven. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

She has dropped a long way in the weights since joining this yard and hasn't made a major impact; latest Chelmsford third (beaten over 7l) was a bit better but she will need to step forward again to take this. |

On a losing run of 13 but ran better when fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (16.5f, Tapeta) last month, even though a slow pace probably didn't suit; last visit here resulted in a win over this trip just over two years ago and he's 12lb lower now; interesting. |

Creditable third twice in May; form dipped when he tried front-running on latest start (had a good record at Goodwood before that) and it had looked as if 1m6f-2m was more his thing these days. |

Multiple winner, mostly at about 2m and is 1lb higher than when scoring over C&D in March; matched that effort back here next time, before a below-par effort on soft at Haydock latest; will be a player if bouncing back. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Kempton (2m, AW) in March and solid third there (2m, AW) last month; rarely seen on turf nowadays but he was effective on grass early in his career (particularly on slow ground); visor replaces cheekpieces; respected. |
7/2 |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Not as good now but the handicapper's been quick to ease off and he showed the right attitude to end a losing run over C&D 12 days ago; a 2lb rise seems fair and that won't have hurt his confidence. |

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 |

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. |
