23rd May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Only fifth when 10-11 favourite on this month's reappearance in Listed race at Newmarket; however, she may have needed the run and has stand-out form claims judged on last year's best efforts, namely her Wokingham win (6f, good to firm) and a fine third in the Group 1 Sprint Cup over C&D (good). |

Won this race first time out in 2024, landed the prestigious Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot in June and ran a cracker when third to stablemate Montassib in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock in the autumn; has a fine record on a sound surface and looks the one to beat. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive 3yo for Ed Walker, reeling off a four-timer before running well in an Ascot Group 3 last October; didn't fire in Qatar earlier this year but he won well at Saint-Cloud in May (6f, soft) and turned in another fine handicap effort when second of 25 in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm), making his challenge on the opposite side of the track to the winner; 3lb higher and this sharper track is not sure to play to his strengths. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Found his trip when back at 6f in the second half of 2023, indifferent to the state of the ground when winning all four handicaps, including over C&D on good to firm; has left Ed Walker since but was at least as good as ever when winning a 6f conditions race at Saint-Cloud (soft) in May; has cards to play back here. |
7/1 |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Acts on any ground; progressive 3yo who has completed a handicap four-timer since being dropped back to 6f and gained the last two wins at this venue; overall record is now 6-13; brings a very attractive profile to this first Group attempt and being 2-2 at Ascot is a bonus. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Looked the proverbial Group horse in a handicap when sauntering to success over C&D in May 2023 on soft ground; more bad days than good since then but flashes last season that he was still a top-notch sprinter on his day, as when third in the Wokingham off a 6lb higher mark than today's; no better than midfield in two feature handicaps this summer but he didn't run too badly at Goodwood and he has too much ability to discount under these conditions. |
16/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has let his supporters down in a host of top handicaps since looking to have the sprinting scene at his mercy in early 2023; has run to form only sporadically in the last two years but his good days are still very good, as when third in last season's Wokingham off a 3lb higher mark; never threatened in this year's Wokingham but it was after an absence and better can be expected this afternoon; stable won this in 2015 and 2019. |
25/1 |

17th 15 (26) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made a very bright start to his handicap career when winning twice in the spring of 2023 before a never-nearer sixth of 27 in this race; maddeningly in and out since but he was nevertheless an excellent close third in this (good to firm) under Saffie Osborne 12 months ago and the lack of a recent run isn't necessarily a drawback; no surprise to see his grey head loom up late. |

9st 7lb |
Went very close in a Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good) in May and comfortably made all in Listed race at Newmarket last month (6f, good to firm; Elmonjed second); carries a 3lb penalty today but has leading claims nevertheless at a track where he has plenty of strong form. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Had a fine 2024 campaign once blinkers were added, winning two Newbury handicaps then blitzing his rivals in the Ayr Gold Cup; 0-4 this year but he has been running with great credit in good company; drops into Listed company and his record of 211 over C&D features a notable 3yo handicap win; looks sure to go well. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

Ended a long losing run over C&D in May and posted another solid effort (in a refitted hood) when fourth of 14 in 1m Carlisle handicap ten days ago; this keen-going sort is not out of things off an unchanged mark. |

Won a maiden over 1m at two but all four wins since have been over shorter, the most recent at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) last month; too free at York (7f) 11 days ago and he'll need to settle better now returned to this trip with the hood back on (worn once in 2023). |

Landed the Victoria Cup over C&D in 2022 and hasn't had the smoothest of passages in two attempts in this contest (finished 11th that year and tenth in 2023); losing run is mounting up, however, and he doesn't look particularly solid on his form for current stable. |

8th 4 (7) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
8yo who is without a win since December 2023 but he showed spark in Dubai this winter and ran big races on his two previous visits to York; returns to a handy on a fair mark and could have an each-way shout. |
16/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |

He's run just once this year but that was a fairly encouraging performance when fifth of nine at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last month; he could build on that and he's on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts over 6f and 7f; effective in big-field handicaps and not ruled out. |

19th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Close second in Listed Windsor Castle here as 2yo but well held in the big 5f handicap here last June and his 6f Bahrain win at Christmas didn't go far enough to convince that he's right for this race; others in better form, too, with first-time cheekpieces (retained) no help last time. |

Eight-time winner and also first past the post in this race in 2022 (demoted to second after causing interference); well treated if retaining all his ability but he was tailed off in the Shergar Cup on his reappearance after a long absence, having hit his head on the stalls; risky. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Eight-time winner, not seen since finishing tenth in the Wokingham here in June 2024 (subsequently gelded); has run some good races at Ascot, including when fourth in this event two years ago, and he's well treated if retaining all his ability, but looks a risky proposition after such a long absence. |

British raider was in fine form at Meydan at the turn of the year, winning a Listed (yielding) and a Group 2 (good), both over 5f; didn't get the smoothest of runs when beaten 3.5l in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot last time (behind Rosy Affair and Jakajaro) and could get closer here if getting a clear passage. |

Ran well in a 0-90 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in December and was only beaten around 2l when fifth of seven there nine days ago; now 5lb below his last winning mark but this isn't guaranteed to be run to suit his hold-up style. |

8yo who can be in and out but he won at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in April and has run well in defeat on his last two starts, at Epsom (6f, soft) and Newcastle (6f, AW); he was a close second of 14 last time and this C&D winner can be in the mix if he's once more on a going day. |

He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his fine third at York's Dante meeting and he confirmed his wellbeing when seeing off 20 rivals back at York two weeks later (7f, good); ran poorly when an odds-on favourite at Chepstow one week later; fully effective over C&D; can't be dismissed. |

Having dropped down the weights he was a close second at Ascot (6f, good) in May on his stable/seasonal debut, and perhaps the soft ground didn't suit at Epsom last time; not written off but this 8yo has been regressive and remains without a win since June 2023. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Proved resurgent with close second at Ascot (6f, good) on stable/seasonal debut; defied a stone higher mark in the Wokingham three years ago and has possibilities even though he hasn't won since. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Hit the handicap heights when winning the Wokingham over C&D in 2023 on debut for Archie Watson, then close up in the Group 1 Maurice de Gheest; desperately hard to place in handicaps since but he's had wind surgery since last seen in October and, even at this late stage, he might well turn it on for Kevin Ryan off a 17lb lower mark than at the start of last year. |

Just a Cork maiden win last year to his tally, but has performed with credit this season; excellent second in the 25-runner Bold Lad last month (splitting My Mate Alfie and Tango Flare); improved again when third behind My Mate Alfie and Big Gossey last time; has a 7lb turnaround with the year-younger winner. |

Unraced on turf this year and his best form has come on AW; however, he has a lower mark on grass and was third in a Listed race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last August; capable of playing a leading role. |

Four-time AW winner who has finished close up on Tapeta (5f/6f) in his last three runs; record of 1-26 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he ran well in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) last summer; dangerous. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive as a 3yo, winning two competitive handicaps (including C&D) before completing his hat-trick in a Listed race in France; had a lengthy absence before creditable fourth in a Salisbury Listed race in May; down the field twice since, though, and while the return of the hood can help, he's risky, especially if the ground is firmer than good (reportedly unsuited by the quick conditions when unplaced in the Wokingham). |

4th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Developed into very useful 6f performer in 2022, with the latest of three wins gained in a French Listed race; missed last season, though, and failed to build upon satisfactory reappearance run when in rear throughout in Wokingham at Royal Ascot; has the inside draw here but current ability is tricky to gauge. |
8/1 |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

His star rose fast in 2022, outgrowing handicaps with a wide-margin win at York (6f, good; has won on good to firm) before equally convincing in a French Listed race (good to soft) when making it 2-2 for Ryan Moore; chip removed from knee and missed 2023; gelded since; satisfactory return at Salisbury in May (without regular hood, as today) and as he's only 7lb above the York win he'd have plenty going for him if still the same horse. |

Creditable second on reappearance when bidding for a second win in the Palace House at Newmarket; hindered by poor draw at Royal Ascot since; landed this contest (good to firm) 12 months ago, despite carrying 3lb extra, and has no penalty this time; major contender. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Acts well on good or quicker; Listed winner over C&D; has had excuses for two Group 1 defeats at 5f in Britain, not ideally drawn in this race last June and checked in his run in the Nunthorpe at York in August, albeit still doing well in the latter in fifth of 17 to Asfoora; useful comeback at Newmarket in April when a close second to Night Raider; can be thereabouts. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Acts on flat tracks but he comes into his own when tackling a stiff test at 5f, as when winning this race last year, taking C&D record to 2-2, and roaring home to win a Group 3 at Sandown (good to firm) in July; cheekpieces worn in October are discarded; yard in form; not to be underestimated. |

0-9 on the AW, but has gone very close on Tapeta on three occasions; 2lb lower than when beaten a head in a 0-110 contest over C&D in August and if able to reproduce that sort of form he would have a good chance. |

Not the force of old (won the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2022) but he ended a long losing run at Haydock (7f, good) in July and went down only narrowly at Newcastle in August; however, he should have fared better at Ascot last time and he's been unplaced on both his previous outings at York. |
