9st 2lb |
Campaigned mostly at 1m6f-2m; took his form to a new level in two attempts over 1m4f last year, winning Group 2 at Newmarket (good to soft) and Group 1 at Sha Tin (good); behind Calandagan in the Sheema Classic two months ago but isn't fully exposed at this trip. |

9th May 2024 Good 1m 5f 84y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
3yo campaign featured wins in the Chester Vase and Geoffrey Freer, plus good second in the St Leger; appeared to need his Newbury reappearance run and should be spot-on for this return to the Roodee; leading player provided there's no jar in the ground (underperformed on good to firm last year). |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 3f 133y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Raced freely when below-form seventh in this race last year (5-1); tongue tied first time when back to her best on soft ground three weeks ago, winning in good style for the second year running in 1m4f Group 3 at Newmarket; each-way claims if she backs it up this time round. |

1st 4 (4) |
27th Sep 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Improved form last September, winning a Listed event in France (1m4f, good to soft) followed by this Group 3 (good to firm) and the latter form would give her an excellent chance today; it has not been repeated this term but two of her three results (all higher level) were respectable, so she's still firmly in the picture; tongue tied first time. |

Reappearing 9yo who's won a hatful of Group 3s over 1m4f-1m6f in his long and distinguished career, including first time out in his last four campaigns; rounded off last term with Listed win at the Curragh in November and he's the one to beat if returning on song yet again. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Completed hat-trick in Newmarket handicap (1m4f, good) last May, the first two legs having come on heavy ground; eighth of 23 in the November Handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, soft) was a lot more like it again; absent since (gelded) and a career best is needed to win this but he can go well fresh. |

Beaten in this race for last two years (third in 2022, fourth in 2023); starts this campaign as a 9yo and his losing sequence is mounting up; although not disgraced in the Stockholm Cup International on last appearance, he's vulnerable against these younger rivals. |
