21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
High-class sprinter on turf and AW; his two C&D wins have both been mighty performances and there is no doubt he has the raw ability to give the weight away to today's opponents; sadly he has become a nightmare at the start, refusing to race in three of his last five runs; can't be supported with confidence; stable run four here. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
High-class sprinter on his day and he has tasted defeat in just one of his four runs on AW; fine effort to beat Marshman in a Listed race here in February and third in a Newmarket Group 3 next time; no doubt he has the ability to win a race of this nature but he is increasingly troublesome at the start and he has refused to race twice this summer; capable but too much risk attached to recommend. |

9st 12lb |
Last win was in 2022; encouraging signs lately, notably a good effort in a recent Listed race at Cork, not far off Likedbymike then; retains enough ability to be competitive in good company. |

3rd 1 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Ran perfectly well off 96 in a Navan handicap last week (5f, good) but he's without a win since 2022 and looks vulnerable on these terms. |

3rd 2 (1) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
No win since 2022; hasn't looked like regaining the winning thread in three runs this term; behind The Highway Rat and Bodhi Bear at the Curragh (6f) latest; eased 2lb and the drop back to 5f is a plus, but the forecast rain is a concern. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer started his campaign with back-to-back handicap wins at Newmarket (5f, good) and York (5f, good); yet to score at Pattern level but huge runs the last twice in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock (5f, good) and when a 1.5l fifth of 26 in the King Charles III (5f, gd-fm) at Royal Ascot; fourth in this last year and should be in the mix again. |
9/2 |

5th 6 (23) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
3-30 turf strike-rate doesn't do justice to his ability and he confirmed his recent improvement when a highly creditable fourth, again from the front, in a Group 2 at Haydock (good to soft; acts well on good) in May; this stiffer track and tougher opposition are likely to count against him. |
25/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
He's got back on track in a major way in 5f handicaps this spring, winning at Newmarket then impressively making all in a big field at York last week (both on good ground; effective on soft early in career); back up in grade this afternoon but this thriving 5yo could be capable of another bold bid. |

14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 3lb |
1-15 in stakes race, that win gained in a 5f Listed event last season; despite that poor strike rate, she deserves plenty of credit for consistency this season; runner-up in four consecutive British Group 2/3 races before well held in mid-field behind Asfoora in the Nunthorpe. |
10/1 |

10th 13 (11) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 12lb |
She doesn't hang around and can lead but she found the stiff 5f at Sandown (good to firm) against her when run down late on by Rumstar in July; ridden much more patiently in Group 2 at Goodwood since, setting to work with a will but failing by a neck to overhaul Jm Jungle; this track can see her to good advantage and she can go well; blinkers return in place of cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

2nd 12 (8) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Speedy filly; better than ever in 2025, notably when runner-up, after getting no cover and racing apart from the winner, in a warm Group 2 at Haydock (5f, good; had form on soft early in career) in May; perhaps found the steep 5f at Sandown rather too much since but this test can suit; in the thick of it. |

Speedy front-runner; progressive in handicaps last year, including two 5f Dundalk wins; ran fast in Tipperary Listed race last August, fading late into third behind today's rival Twilight Jet; made all to win 5f Group 3 at Dundalk last October; a long way below her best on reappearance in Naas event in which Twilight Jet was second. |

The last of her three wins was in this race 12 months ago when 7lb lower; has mostly raced in Listed events since then and ran as well as she was entitled to the last time at Tipperary; fair shout. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
He did well after joining this yard last year and he's on a handy mark; he should get back on track sooner or later but this 10yo has failed to shine on his last three outings, over C&D on last two starts. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Veteran whose form has dipped in last two outings, latest over C&D eight days ago; doesn't look as if he's about to improve his poor strike-rate (long time between drinks). |

Good turf spell in the autumn included a winning yard debut at Haydock (good) and a close second over C&D (soft); has run well on AW since but looks to have his share of weight; trainer runs five and won this in 2024. |
