10st 2lb |
7f specialist, not beaten far in Ascot's Victoria Cup (good) and Buckingham Palace Stakes (good to firm) in first half of this year; never able to challenge over same C&D last time; this is less competitive and he should be thereabouts. |
9/2 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Merely mid-division behind Aalto in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket a fortnight ago but this C&D brings out the best in him, as evidenced by this season's close-up finishes in the Victoria Cup (good) and Buckingham Palace Stakes (good to firm); could be bang there now back at Ascot. |

Ran well, only a neck behind Elarak, in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot to maintain his solid record in headgear; good second in the Victoria Cup the time before; threatening to win a big prize; shortlisted. |

5th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won on handicap debut at Kempton (7f) in May; ran with credit when reaching the frame on her next five starts (including here on good to firm) and something presumably can't have been right when well held at Newmarket four weeks ago; solid contender if that latest run is ignored. |

9th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Made a successful return/handicap debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in April and has finished runner-up in three of her four outings since, the latest a narrow defeat at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago; up another 2lb, but in good order and she ran with credit on soft ground as a 2yo. |

1m2f AW win April off 2lb lower; mixed bag since but he is a C&D winner on good to soft and a prominent showing would seem likely. |

Posted career-best performance when winning on Poytrack at Lingfield (1m2f) in April, after a break, but subsequent turf form has been underwhelming and he's still on a fairly tough mark; cheekpieces refitted in bid to perk him up. |

Off the mark in 1m novice on Lingfield AW in December but he's found it harder in handicaps this year and his recent runs back at Lingfield leave him with work to do on his Tapeta debut. |

Has a modest 2-39 strike-rate, but his latest win came over C&D in December and he is back off the same mark; worth a second look. |

Has modest 2-39 strike-rate, with both wins gained on AW, and tends to race too freely but the form of his never-dangerous fourth at Brighton (7f, good to firm) at end of June has worked out well; worth a second look. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Bolted up in a 6f fillies' h'cap at Windsor 12 months ago on good-to-firm for George Boughey; last of 14 on yard debut at Naas early this month after a 303-day absence so entitled to come on for it but this trip probably stretches her. |

4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 3lb |
Bolted up in fillies' h'cap at Windsor 12 months ago on good-to-firm; two lesser efforts on easier ground since; has to defy a 303-day absence on stable debut but is still lightly-raced and would appreciate quick ground. |
11/1 |

Running well in defeat of late, most recently bumping into a heavily backed improver at Wolverhampton (8.6f) two weeks ago; stable going well and she's one to consider. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

3-21, those wins coming over 5f, 6f, and 7f; placed on return from a three-and-a-half month absence at Newmarket (1m, good to soft; 6-1) on penultimate start but less productive next time (7f); easing mark coupled with Alec Voikhansky's 3lb claim helpful. |

A maiden after ten starts but did well to finish second to a progressive rival at Wolverhampton (1m6f; first-time blinkers) three weeks ago, given he raced wide and had a lot of use made of him in the early stages; remains unexposed over this trip and looks ready to strike soon. |

3yo who is 0-9; encouraging efforts over 1m4f here in a visor the last twice, finishing third most recently (ran in snatches); now wears first-time blinkers instead and he could be suited by the extra yardage; chance. |

9st 10lb |
Has improved steadily with each run and the front two came clear when a workmanlike winner at Newmarket (1m, good; 13-8); the runner-up was third of nine on his next start; 7lb rise demands that he improves some more but that's very feasible. |

Better with each run last backend before being gelded; had a subsequent dual winner behind when going close off a 3lb lower mark on his comeback over this trip last month and holds leading claims for a yard back in its usual form. |
