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. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
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. |

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. |
14/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
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. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 2-20 but his last win was over C&D last month and he was only beaten 2l behind Anthropologist here last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he has possibilities. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; has a patchy profile and was well held at Brighton last time, but he made it 2-4 at Epsom when scoring over C&D on his penultimate; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in the mix back at this track. |
4/1 |

5th 1 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Bounced back from below-par run with narrow win at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last month and remains well treated after subsequent 2lb nudge; high on the list. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't fire on Tapeta three weeks ago but began this campaign with three respectable runs and is now only 3lb higher than when winning easily by nearly 5l over C&D (good) last summer; dangerous to ignore. |

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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just two wins (both on soft ground) from his 29 starts but he returned from a break with a close third of six at Ffos Las (5f, good) last Friday, and he could be in the mix off the same, career-low mark. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ran a bit better last time at Bath (good) in June and both his wins have come over 5f on soft ground, so conditions might well turn in his favour with rain around; fairly treated. |
7/1 |
|
6th 6 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D scorer but he's yet to fire in a pair of handicaps over C&D and at Chepstow this season; others appeal more. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All four wins have come on turf (5f-6f) but he has run well on AW on his last two starts (1m/7f); drop back in trip demands he's sharper at the stalls but he is a major player all the same. |
3/1 |
|
4th 10 (6) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Spent most of his career running in sprints but has been fine with 1m lately, latterly when chasing home a subsequent winner at Kempton; fairly treated now back in form and is one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 8 (11) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Got back on song for his new yard with third of ten in 1m Chepstow handicap 23 days ago; no forlorn hope off an easing mark. |
11/1 |
