31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Finished down the field on stable/seasonal debut at Chester (7.5f) this month but that doesn't tell the full story as he ran well for a long way from his wide draw and was hampered late on; he's dropped to an attractive mark and is just the type his new trainer does very well with. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won a 7f Listed race here (good to soft) for Andrew Balding in 2024; still capable of smart performances for Marco Botti last year but wasn't at his best on final two starts, including in a course seller; sold for 45,000gns in October; a Group 1 entry at Royal Ascot suggests new connections are hopeful he retains all his ability. |

3rd 4 (3) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Two pieces of form at Wolverhampton in 2025 that give him outstanding claims at these weights, namely close thirds in a 7f Listed race and a strong 6f handicap; not so good on his last three starts and alarm bells were ringing when he was dropped into selling company at Chester 11 days ago, a race where he was a disappointing fourth; too much ability to discount but there are risks involved. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Consistent in the main and versatile ground-wise, she gained a deserved big prize in the Group 3 Princess Elizabeth Stakes (8.5f; against fillies and mares) at Epsom in June; however, she's been beaten on her three starts since and her limitations are again likely to be exposed this afternoon. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent filly who's done nothing wrong this season, backing up her Epsom Group 3 win with a solid effort in Group 2 at Royal Ascot in first-time headgear; a penalty leaves her a bit to find but she's fine round easy, turning courses (can lug left) and should give her running as usual dropped from 1m and switched to blinkers. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
8yo who is without a win since December 2023 but he showed spark in Dubai this winter and ran big races on his two previous visits to York; returns to a handy on a fair mark and could have an each-way shout. |
16/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He's run just once this year but that was a fairly encouraging performance when fifth of nine at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last month; he could build on that and he's on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts over 6f and 7f; effective in big-field handicaps and not ruled out. |
25/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
The long-delayed return asks a pointed question but he has often won and gone well after shorter breaks than today and his 7f career includes wins in a top Ascot handicap and two Listed races (all on good); his claims can't be entirely waved away but he needs to be as good as ever to win. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
His only turf wins came in a Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, but they were in 2023 and he needs the cards to drop right for his late bids; scored on AW in January but subsequent form, including when 40-1 in the Victoria Cup last Saturday, isn't good enough. |
40/1 |

20th 1 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Very useful but rather needs the cards to drop right and gained his only turf wins, namely in Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, in 2023; peak AW form this year when scoring in January; finished seventh (off 4lb higher) in this contest 12 months ago. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Just missed out in this race on his reappearance 12 months ago (good to firm); ended 2025 with two good second-place finishes in Listed company at Doncaster and Southwell; each-way shout once again. |
6/1 |

4th 7 (7) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Ran well in Listed grade at Salisbury on reappearance; has failed to repeat that form in two major handicaps at Ascot since; returns to the scene of his last success (6f, soft) but this is a stiffer assignment. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Acts on any ground; very useful performer who has Listed/Group form; two handicap attempts (6f) comprise a win at Doncaster last October and an excusable defeat (poorly drawn) in the Wokingham last time; effective over 7f and has the ability to get involved, even off top weight. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Useful in France for Andre Fabre last year and made a solid start for his new yard in the spring, when winning at this level at Epsom; found the drop to 6f, faster ground and step up to Group 1 company beyond him at Royal Ascot and should do much better tonight under a small penalty. |
5/1 |

7th 2 (15) |
21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Useful as a 2yo in France for Andre Fabre; took his form to a much higher level when making winning start for new yard in Listed race at Epsom (7f, good to soft; unraced on good or firmer) three weeks ago, the first two pulling 9l clear; races freely and should be at least as effective back at 6f; hard to pin down but the Epsom run suggests he's smart and he's one to consider. |
20/1 |
|
1st 3 (6) |
31st May 2024 Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Raced four times in these colours for Andre Fabre, winning on debut before contesting two Group 3s and a Group 1 (all at 7f); could do with bucking the habit of starting slowly (as was the case in his last two runs) but a repeat of his second at Longchamp (good to soft) wouldn't see him far away at this level; lacking a run may count against him. |
8/1 |
