1m2f Listed race here (good to firm) last May was the last leg in a four-timer; no joy in his seven races since but he was pipped in Group 3 at Newbury (1m4f, good) on latest, form which gives him a big chance. |

Won a 1m2f Goodwood Listed (good to firm) last May and also placed in 1m4f Newmarket Group 3 (heavy) on final 4-y-o start; below that level in his two outings this year, though he suffered interference when 7l fifth of sixth in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f) latest. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Smart on the Flat at his best but signed off for Karl Burke with two disappointing runs in the autumn and was rather hesitant at some of the flights when disappointing favourite on last month's stable/hurdle debut; subsequently tailed off in major Flat handicap; may yet get his act together over hurdles but he is very tricky to weigh up at the moment. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won sole start here, a 2022 maiden; smart at 1m3f-1m6f for Roger Varian and Karl Burke but reappearance was easily the best of three runs last year and, after a 21,000gns sale in November, well beaten at 11-10 for hurdles/yard debut two weeks ago; that's not the most promising stepping stone to this. |

Really smart Flat campaigner although he was susceptible to the odd aberration; in fine form as recently as last April, when just denied in valuable 1m6f Musselburgh handicap, but last two starts for Karl Burke showed the other side of his coin and left that yard for 21,000gns in November; still rates a fascinating hurdles debutant with the market potentially offering significant clues. |

Won a 1m4f handicap here (good) last summer and showed he's still capable of smart form as a 9yo when reaching the frame in Group 2s over 1m4f and 2m at Meydan this spring; down the field in a Longchamp Group 1 over just short of 2m since; back down significantly in trip; others are more obvious. |

10st 2lb |
His last three wins came in a 1m4f Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood in 2021, 1m2f Listed race at Sandown in 2022 and valuable 1m4f contest in Bahrain in March 2023; he's now an 8yo, his form has dipped this year and his third in two Goodwood Listed races on return to Britain need building on. |

Raced mostly on good/firmer; solid 2022 campaign featured a C&D second, Great Voltigeur win and fourth in the Melbourne Cup; unable to repeat that form during a light 2023 season and below-form fourth in Group 3 at Chester with first-time blinkers on 2024 reappearance; sights are lowered. |

33-1 fourth in this contest last year; absent until well held at Goodwood two weeks ago; may be back in better form with that reappearance effort under her belt. |

Sole win from nine starts was Bath novice in 2022; best form came in a Listed race last June when last seen but that Pontefract fourth (1m4f) leaves her with major improvement to find; trainer won this in 2015, 2016, 2022 and 2023 but seems to have a much stronger chance with Aimeric this time. |
