19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive last summer, winning two 6f handicaps at Ascot and ending the campaign with a fine second in a Group 3 over the same C&D; promising return at Salisbury and was well backed ahead of his Wokingham bid four weeks ago, only to drop away in the closing stages; versatile groundwise; still early days and new blinkers could give him a lift. |

12th 5 (12) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Well ahead of his mark when winning two C&D handicaps (good and good to firm) last summer and he chased Apollo One home in a Group 3 here on soft in October; caught out for a bit of pace at a crucial stage when turned over at a short price in a Listed Salisbury race on reappearance but he should come on for the run and this thorough test will be ideal; strong claims. |
15/2 |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Improved for the return to 6f last summer, comfortably winning two handicaps at Ascot before a fine second in a Group 3 (soft ground) when last seen 231 days ago; still has low mileage and should make a bold bid for last year's winning stable. |

Useful handicapper on his day and 4lb lower than when winning at his beloved Ascot (6f, soft) in September last year, but hasn't shone in three starts on turf/Tapeta since returning in June. |

Four of his five wins have come at Ascot, including when registering his only win since 2022 in the corresponding race 12 months ago; that was run at a crawl though and subsequent efforts don't suggest he is the answer. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Had a rare off day in the Dash at Epsom but quickly back on track with a close third at Windsor (5f good to firm) 18 days ago; unlikely to be far away off the same mark. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Poor effort at Epsom, behind two of these, last time will need forgiving but he boasts a fair record for Billy Loughnane (won for him last summer off 6lb higher); handicapper given him a chance and it wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up. |

0-9 since her two wins in August 2023 but currently in a consistent vein of form; raced mainly at sprint distances but ran respectably over 7f at Leicester (heavy) most recently and again has frame possibilities. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His three wins have come over 6f but he's hinted when running well over that trip this summer that this return to 7f is worth exploring; versatile ground-wise and could be in with a chance. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner last year; promising efforts over C&D and at Yarmouth (both on soft) last month but he found things happening too quickly on good to firm ground over C&D on Monday; blinkers now replaced by a new visor. |

11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |

Form off current mark, all in Class 4, features a success over C&D in 2024 and placed efforts the last twice; steps up two grades but Oliver Carmichael takes off a handy 7lb; could go well. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

In-form 6yo whose two attempts over C&D comprise a success in May and 1l second latest start; holds a fighting chance off unaltered mark; defied a stone higher in 2024. |

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. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
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). |

Down in the weights and back to form when just failing to get up over 5f at Ascot (good to firm) three weeks ago; put back up 3lb but retains handicapping scope on peak form and has Oisin Murphy doing the steering. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

Useful in his younger days and, having regressed last year, has found his level again of late; easily beat a big field from the front at York last weekend and a 6lb rise may well be within range now he's back in the groove. |

Last turf win came off an 11lb higher mark at Newmarket in August 2022 (6f, good to firm) but has won twice on AW since (6f/7f); sound run when close third to Delicacy over C&D last time last time (good to firm) and although 2lb higher is one with a chance. |

Lightly raced 5yo; 6f winner and ran well at Listed level for previous yard; steadily finding his form for new stable, encouraging fifth at Kempton (7f) most recently; interesting off a reduced mark back down in trip, assuming he takes to first-time visor. |
