22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Unlucky second at Glorious Goodwood in 2024 when bidding for a notable 1m2f handicap double; best effort in a truncated 2025 campaign when fourth to Haatem in Listed grade at Royal Ascot; should be thereabouts, provided he's in top form after ten-month layoff. |

3rd 4 (6) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Won the valuable John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f, good to soft) last July in his penultimate handicap; close fourth of 16 in Listed race at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) one month ago showed, not for the first time, that he should be well capable of a prominent finish in today's company. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoyed a good 2024, including a win in valuable John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f, good to soft); showed he can mix it outside handicaps when second in 1m2f Listed race at Ayr (good to firm) last autumn; went without regular hood (back on now) when behind a couple of today's rivals in the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard on his reappearance at Sandown (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; likely to be sharper now and his yard has won this twice in recent years; a must for the shortlist from a handy draw. |

No win since 2021 but he should be competitive off this mark judged on some 2023 turf form and some 2023 and 2024 AW form; not dismissed. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Fine on Tapeta but has done most winning round Chelmsford, always over 1m2f; generally consistent in recent times, without looking quite as good, and has to prove his stamina going beyond 1m4f for the first time; the usual headgear comes off. |
10/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Much more exposed than some of these and usually runs over 1m2f but gave pretty good account when fourth in valuable Chelmsford handicap (1m2f) a fortnight and is 1lb lower here; could have a say. |
4/1 |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Formerly a front-runner but more often held up these days; finished a 4l seventh at Wolverhampton in last two starts but he's 5-9 at Chelmsford and was runner-up over C&D in June; has possibilities back at this track and he needs a close look with Hollie Doyle booked. |

13th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won one novice at Newbury (7f, good) in July 2022 and another at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last October; beaten only about 3l in his two starts (1m2f handicaps) this term, but this looks a harder task; 1m4f and headgear are new. |

25th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Seen only once since his 7f 2yo win, when prevailing by a nose in 9.4f Wolverhampton (AW) novice in October; will need to better that form to overcome his opening handicap mark but remains unexposed and can evidently go well when fresh. |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Found three races not run to suit his hold-up style in the summer and this mark is likely within range when he gets a decent pace to track; maybe that will happen today, under Silvestre De Sousa (11-46 for the yard), back from a short break. |

Won a Southwell novice (1m) last September and that was it for the season; hasn't threatened in either handicap this year, though wasn't beaten far at Newmarket last time (1m2f) when held up in a slowly run affair; has a handicap in him. |

11st 3lb |
Good impression made on April's Ayr hurdling debut (2m, good to soft; third won next time), but form of successful Newton Abbot follow-up has taken a few knocks and it was a crunching fall she took at Ffos Las latest; mark okay, and all about whether she's over that unfortunate experience. |

22nd May 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Three Flat wins in Germany; up and down in Britain but was involved in two close finishes in 2024 (best RPR 87); 2-2 over hurdles for new yard, having it pretty much her own way at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) recently; Sir Galahad will provide much more of a test but it looks tight between them. |

Regained the winning thread at Windsor (11.5f) last month; held off this mark at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last week but did enough to suggest he remains in form; could go well. |

Beaten a neck at Kempton (1m4f) on penultimate start and went one better at Windsor (11.4f) 12 days later, his first win for over two years; acts on Tapeta; back up another 2lb but in the mix if that form is repeated. |
