Won five times when trained in Britain by Philip McBride; all those wins came on ground with good in the description; slowly away and always behind at the Curragh on latest; new headgear. |

Won five when trained in Britain by Philip McBride; all those wins came on ground with good in the description so conditions have to be a concern here (0-5 on soft); tongue tie goes on. |

0-9 on AW but caught the eye over 10.5f on debut for this stable in early December, keeping on for fifth and not far behind Nakasero (7lb better off now); unsuited by 1m the last twice and could improve plenty for this longer trip; interesting. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Tough and consistent sort who won the C&D Spring Cup on 2025 reappearance but couldn't get a clear run in it this time round; third in this race last year and 9lb higher today but he's an each-way contender. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Tough and consistent sort who won this race (good ground) on his reappearance 12 months ago and finished second in the Balmoral Handicap at Ascot in the autumn; starts the new season on a career-high mark but he's impossible to rule out. |

2nd 3 (6) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 1 |

Acts on soft; has mostly run well in warm 7f/1m handicaps this season, never better than when dead-heating for second in a valuable event at Ascot 11 days ago; this first Listed assignment makes for a different scenario but he has the form to be not far away. |

11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner for Marco Botti in Britain; purchased for 89,000gns in August; brings a Flat rating of 89 for his hurdling/stable debut; should be suited by this better ground and of obvious interest given trainer/rider combination. |
5/2 |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Improved form after a gelding operation when going close at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) and Doncaster (1m2f, good) in March; respectable third of six at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; enters calculations under Rodriguez. |

26th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Gelded in November and improved form when going close at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) and Doncaster (1m2f, good) in his first two runs this season; finished last of six at Epsom last time but he got involved in some scrimmaging and is a big player if he can bounce back near best. |

9st 6lb |
Progressive last term, winning two in a row at Goodwood (1m, good to soft/good) in the autumn, and kept on well for a close fourth on last month's reappearance at Haydock (7f, good to firm); solid claims back up to 1m. |
13/2 |

4th 3 (10) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Had strong handicap form over 1m in the second half of 2025, finishing second at York's Ebor meeting (good to firm) before recording back-to-back wins at Goodwood (good to soft and good); ran well for third in a Nottingham Listed race when last seen 178 days ago; only seventh in this race 12 months ago and he's 4lb higher today. |

3rd 2 (7) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Won on soft last year; Goodwood double (1m, good to soft/good) in handicaps this autumn; however, only mid-division in valuable event at Ascot 11 days ago, comfortably held by Ebt's Guard, and needs to resume improvement. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time winner, including in first-time blinkers at Glorious Goodwood; close third at Haydock (7f) with reappearance under his belt, paving the way nicely for a crack at this prize; has made the frame in both C&D attempts; possibilities in new headgear (visor). |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Strong handicap form over 7f last summer, winning at Goodwood and Chepstow as well as finishing second in a 20-runner event at Ascot (all when wearing blinkers); still feasibly weighted on that form and he went without headgear when down the field in the Lincoln; the blinkers return today and he's a leading contender. |
7/1 |

16th 4 (14) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Thrived in 7f handicaps last season when blinkers went on; however, he failed to shine when tackling 1m last term and reappears minus any headgear (tried cheekpieces when last seen; down the field); others preferred. |

28th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Serial hard puller who again over-raced back at 7f in a second-time hood latest; that was a decent effort all told, considering he hit traffic at a key stage, and he's well up to winning this if he's more amenable; therein lies the gamble. |
5/1 |

5th 4 (10) |
15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win in five starts came in a 7.5f maiden at Beverley last August; keen-going tendencies have been evident from the start and they're not going away judged on his run in Haydock's competitive Silver Bowl; could yet turn a corner but reservations for now. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (4) |
25th May 2024 Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won at Beverley (7.4f, good to form) last August on third start and runner-up in Carlisle novice (1m, good to firm) the following month; the hood (worn last time) is left off today and he can race freely, while he's untested on slow turf, but he's in good hands to progress and is not ruled out. |

Multiple 7f-8.5f winner who fared better than seemed likely when dropped to 6f at Redcar (good to firm; half-length second) last week; fighting chance off same mark. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
His fine 2025 season was always going to be a tough act to follow and he has generally struggled since his return to action in December; should be well treated but drops to 6f for the first time in his career. |

Very in and out across his eight starts last year but won three times, including here (1m1f, good) in October; he could be involved if fully tuned up on this first outing since December. |
