9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Best on good or quicker ground; has progressed as a 4yo, proving a strong finisher over the straight 1m here when winning the Kensington Palace (good to firm; just her second run at the distance) in June; ran flat when returned to 7f in July but this looks more her trip now; can go well. |

10st 2lb |
Won on the other Newmarket course in May (7f, good) and bounced back from lesser run at Epsom to win the 23-runner Kensington Palace Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; this progressive 4yo holds strong claims up 6lb. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
7f winner on Newcastle AW in March when only 1lb lower; that stiffer finish suits him well and he was beaten 3l over C&D when last seen in April. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
7f winner on Newcastle AW in March; back on turf for the first time since last October but he's 8lb lower today and he does act on grass; however, jockey bookings suggest Highfield Viking is the stable preferred. |

Wins have been over 6f on turf and 7f on the AW (Newcastle); has been running well for a while and latest effort back at Newcastle was better than it looks. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Second in this last year (good to soft) and won over C&D (good to firm) in July; runner-up over C&D two starts ago and not helped by a slow start when fifth over C&D last time; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; capable of playing a leading role. |
9/2 |
|
5th 5 (9) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
His five starts over C&D have yielded two wins and two runner-up spots, once behind Musical Angel last September and latterly when chasing home Dapper Guest ten days ago; wasn't done too many favours by the winner last time and has a good chance of gaining his revenge on revised terms. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Wolverhampton winner in May (8.6f); an eye-catching fifth at Kempton last month before another promising run from well off the pace at Windsor (1m, good to firm); could be interesting. |
13/2 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Turned things around with a breakthrough win at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in May; disappointing at Ffos Las next time but he bounced back with an eye-catching fifth at Kempton 12 days ago; remains well handicapped on old form and has claims if this sets up for his closing style. |
11/2 |

5th 7 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Gained an overdue first success at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in May but failed to back it up when seventh in 1m Ffos Las handicap 34 days ago; remains handily weighted back on an artificial surface though. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways when beating Son Of Astar at Ffos Las (6f, soft) last month and made short work of following up back at Ffos Las (5f, soft) six days later; this race is more competitive but he is clearly in top form. |
4/1 |

1st 1 (5) |
27th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Close third here (5f) before an excusable defeat at Bath, then came home best on soft ground here last week (6f); penalised after that win but looks sure to give his running once more. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Hasn't been running too badly at sprint distances and he was runner-up on the AW on last run over 1m in July; has form at this track and can run well if okay in the new visor (on for cheekpieces). |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (9) |
27th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Stays 1m, so no real surprise that he was boxing on at the finish over Bath's extended 5f two weeks ago (good to soft); should be very competitive over slightly further today and on ground he copes with. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 10 (7) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Stays 1m but all four wins have come in sprints (5f-6f); returning to a stiffer track will suit him better than last time at Wolverhampton where he was under the pump throughout over 5f; considered. |
