13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Usually races over 6f, runner-up at Pontefract most recently; no certainty to go one better, having failed to score for over two years and with the return to a stiff 7f presenting a question mark. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Had a good 3yo campaign but not won since; went close over 7f at Thirsk in May but neither run since has been comparable; slower ground would be preferable. |

2024 went well but no joy since; did go close behind Brighton Boy at Thirsk in May (7f, good) before struggling in a Class 2 on the AW; could be dangerous off this mark if he did get an easy lead, though that seems unlikely. |

11th Jul 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Promising 2yo, including a Listed third on heavy ground, but he's made little impact in three good handicaps this year; dropping down the weights but others bring stronger credentials. |

21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

His 2yo win came on soft ground over 6f; showed he could handle faster conditions when a close fifth at Windsor 18 days ago, but hard pressed to say he's well-enough treated to win a race like this. |

9st 13lb |
Rattled off an Ayr hat-trick over 7f on fast ground in July; yet to score off a mark this high, and wasn't so good on his last two starts, but good to soft ground probably didn't suit at Thirsk 25 days ago. |
14/1 |

7th 6 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Belatedly exploited his drop down the handicap at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in July and he added two more wins over that C&D in the next fortnight; came up short in his bid for a four-timer at Doncaster three weeks ago; not handicapped out of things though and could bounce back. |

Still rather weighted to the hilt but his C&D record reads 1523, the fifth-place finish in this contest 12 months ago; on the same (near-peak) mark but Toby Moore takes off a handy 7lb this time; could go well. |
14/1 |

12th 6 (1) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won two feature handicaps last summer (6f/7f) but only midfield in this contest (third of 12 in the stands' side group); ran a fine race when second at Ascot (7f, good to firm) in July but he flopped in the Stewards' Cup (sent off favourite) and neither of his runs since suggest he is the answer this time; trainer won both this race and the Silver Cup last year. |
20/1 |

3rd 1 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won a valuable C&D handicap last summer before bolting up in the Stewards' Cup one week later; another fine course run when second of 16 in July and he was heavily supported for a Stewards' Cup repeat one week later, only to stumble leaving the stalls; wasn't far off his best over 1m here four weeks ago but this drop back to 7f still looks the right move; player. |

17th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Made the running and sprang 40-1 shock in Listed race at Galway (7f, soft) last month; won over 6f on good ground at Ripon in May; carries a 3lb penalty today and has to back up that latest form, but is not ruled out. |

10st 2lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 10lb lower mark; as good as ever when fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (7f, Listed) in March but has found it tougher going since; apprentice's claim is useful but he still has little margin for error off this mark. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |

Comfortable winner of a C&D handicap (good to firm) last August; better than ever when a close fourth in a Listed event at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March but he's been well held in both subsequent runs and latest was in a C&D; has bit to prove again and this looks a tough task on the figures. |

Two wins this summer, the latter gained over C&D; not beaten far when eighth of 20 in competitive Ripon handicap (6f, good) last month but he's not as good as he was, and has a double-digit draw; others preferred. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |

No improvement for a sixth furlong and/or slower ground at Newmarket last month; had been threatening something bigger before that though and he's interesting with a stiff 5f likely to suit. |

11th Jul 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Raced exclusively at 5f, on firm ground in the US and on good or faster since joining Richard Fahey; has strongly suggested that a sixth furlong would be beneficial, keeping on stoutly at Royal Ascot three weeks ago, and this mark probably not beyond him; slower ground is an unknown factor but his smart half-brother Kerdos acts on it and his dam recorded her only win on soft; interesting. |

8st 13lb |
Ran well when a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month, but didn't back it up at Pontefract (5f, good; first-time hood) a fortnight ago; opposable given his wide draw and a losing run of 22. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Losing run up to 21, but he ran well to finish a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; a few winners have come out of that race and a hood is given a go, but the drop to 5f may not be ideal even on a stiff track like this. |
