16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't have the ideal set-up at Sandown (behind Zeus Olympios) on reappearance but still needs to prove the form of his 100-1 success in last year's Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II (1m, good) at Ascot, where he was possibly helped by the draw, can be backed up; may be flattered by his mark. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who finished third in this race last year; returns to Sandown but may be flattered by his new rating, having been perhaps helped by the draw when registering a 100-1 success in the Group 1 QEII at Ascot (good) on last appearance; needs to prove he can back up that form. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Having run some good races in defeat this season (including in a good-ground Group 2) he returned to winning ways in a Listed race at Sandown (1m, soft) last month; likes it there; looks opposable now back up in grade. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
His strike-rate is an unimpressive 3-26 but he's seldom far away and last October's excellent second in a top handicap over C&D preceded an AW Listed win; came up short at Doha and Meydan early this year but showed enough to suggest he should be on the premises. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

This is his first run since April and he has a lofty mark, but he won a Group 3 at Haydock (1m, good) last September and has a history of running well off big weights in handicaps; likes it here; not ruled out. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Excellent third in competitive 1m handicaps on both runs this season, firstly the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and then at Sandown (soft); has won here twice and was a fair seventh in this last year; one to consider. |
15/2 |

3rd 4 (9) |
6th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Suited by good/firmer; record of 2-6 for current yard; creditable third in the Royal Hunt Cup last month on seasonal debut; successful in this contest last year and has to be feared despite being 8lb higher this time. |

3rd 8 (17) |
19th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Suited by good/firmer; won the Britannia at this meeting in 2021; disappointing favourite (only tenth) in this race last year and now has to overcome a lack of recent match practice, having been absent since last-gasp success in the Shergar Cup Mile here ten months ago. |

10st 1lb |
Both wins over 1m on soft and although he hasn't found a great deal in two C&D runs since back from a break (favourite latest) they were both in a higher grade; should have more to come at this level; on the premises. |

Won at Yarmouth (1m, soft) in June and close fourth at Sandown (1m, soft) last month when failing to settle off a steady pace; could build on that latest run when getting a stronger gallop; soft ground would aid cause. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

7yo who is without a win since September 2023 and doesn't appear to be the force of old, but he returned from a break at Newcastle (1m, AW) in June and that seventh gives him something to build on; on reduced mark and he's not ruled out back up in trip. |

9st 8lb |
Won at Sandown (1m, soft) last May and close second of 17 at York (1m2f, good to firm) in August; made a satisfactory reappearance when seventh at 40-1 in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m) five weeks ago and is probably effective at this track, so he's one to consider. |

29th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Below best on first and final starts last season but enjoyed a good campaign, winning at Sandown (1m, soft) in May and close second of 17 at York (1m2f, good to soft) in August; should be suited by a strongly run race at this trip and he's an each-way contender if fully tuned up for his return. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Showed notable handicap form in 2024 but has posted duck eggs in three runs since that campaign and needs to prove he retains ability; best watched on second run for new yard, unless the market suggests otherwise. |
25/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Well treated on his 2024 form for Jack Channon and he won the Spring Mile at Newbury (1m, good to soft) on his reappearance that season; however, just two runs last term, finishing down the field in April/May, and he has plenty to prove making his stable debut after an absence; blinkers go on. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |

He was making his seasonal debut when only fifth in this race 12 months ago but he's been kept on the go this winter and has been better than ever; suspicion others will prove better handicapped here though. |

3rd 5 (7) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 1 |

He has been a fine servant to connections and added wins eight and nine to his tally in 2025, the latest a 1m handicap at Kempton in November; ran as well as he ever has when second to an upwardly mobile 4yo over C&D five weeks ago but even that effort will need bettering in this field. |

9st 2lb |
Third in last year's Spring Cup over C&D and fourth in this race; next three starts were good as well and he was better than ever for reappearance second of 24 in the Spring Cup four weeks ago; up just 1lb, a leading player. |
6/1 |

2nd 15 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Chased home Ebt's Guard and Urban Lion in this race last year and he's better off at the weights with both; ran a cracker when dropped to 7f for valuable event at Ascot last summer; hasn't been seen for eight months but he'll be dangerous if cherry ripe. |

Reserve; made all at Sandown (1m, good to firm) in July and close second of 21 to subsequent Stewards' Cup winner Two Tribes here (7f, good) next time; soundly beaten at Newbury (7f, good to firm) two months ago and needs to bounce back but he's better than that and is not discounted. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Below best on final two starts last season and same story on sole run this term, in Qatar in February; also has a hefty mark to defy but this front-runner was a fine second under an enterprising ride in a Group 2 at Ascot last July and has a strong record here, finishing second in this race in 2023 and winning it in 2024; capable of very bold bid from the inside stall. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Often leads, as was the case when well clear at one stage before finishing close up in a 1m Group 3 at Chantilly a month ago; that was bordering on his best form and he could outrun his odds if getting loose on the lead. |
