28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Beat Bedouin Prince to win handicap at Meydan (1m2f, good) in January and very close second in Group 3 there (1m2f, good) later that month; this 5yo has had just ten starts and further improvement cannot be ruled out, but a career best is necessary if he's to come out on top today. |

5th 1 (9) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Made progress with virtually every run at 1m and 1m1f (on good to firm and good) earlier, doing well to be a close third of 13 in a strong Newmarket handicap in May; a remote finish in the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (11-1) last month was a setback but it wouldn't surprise if his return to form was swift in this much less competitive race. |
9/2 |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Has progressive 1m/1m1f form; won at Meydan in February then ran well off top weight in notable handicap at Newmarket (again on good ground) in May, taking record to 211313; solid contender. |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Went close on his second outing for the Gosdens at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) in April (winner followed up next time) and, after having undergone wind surgery, has filled the same position in both starts on turf for this yard (1m, good); the form of those last two races has also since been boosted and he is much respected back on AW. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Can front-run; sole win from 16 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he did step forward from his return when fourth in first-time cheekpieces over C&D 22 days ago; headgear is retained. |
10/1 |

4th 10 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from 15 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he's mostly struggled since and failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m, AW) last time on his first start for 112 days; now drops to 7f with cheekpieces applied on this return to turf. |

6th 7 (5) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Got off the mark at Chelmsford (1m) in September but he's been off since turning in a poor sixth there in December; more is required despite a slipping mark. |

30th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Enters calculations on such as last October's C&D fifth off 10lb higher, and hopes lie in part with the return to 1m after failing to last under forcing tactics on many starts since; headgear comes off. |

Best effort came over this C&D but he's a regressive maiden who was well beaten on hurdle debut last time; enough to prove back on the Flat. |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Lightly raced filly; has improved since upped in trip and she didn't appear to lose through lack of stamina over the extended 1m5f on Chelmsford AW last time; new trip back on turf but it looks worth a go. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
31st Aug 2024 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Improved upon her first three runs (all 1m) when 3l fourth of seven on this month's handicap debut at Yarmouth (11.4f); the way she rallied suggests she'll be suited by today's longer trip and she's one to consider. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden on turf, best recent run when third at Catterick in April (1m4f, good); hasn't done as well since. |
14/1 |
|
6th 10 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from his 25 starts but he was a good third over C&D last month and didn't see out 1m6f when fifth to Free Pic here last time; each-way claims back down in trip. |
14/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
In the hands of John Butler when sporting first-time blinkers to score at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February; that's her only success but a keeping-on third here (1m4f, good) was a respectable effort a fortnight ago and this new trip is probably worth a go. |

15th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Improved when winning in clearcut style from off the pace on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in August; perhaps his run under a penalty one week later came too soon, as he disappointed; he's a lightly raced 3yo and the style of his win makes this new trip look interesting. |

8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Some promise when fourth of 11 on his Doncaster debut (7f, soft) in May, but twice held since (gelded/wind surgery before latest start); open to progress now handicapping, though, and worth a second look. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in January; runner-up at Southwell (1m6f) next time and has won over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell on his two starts since; his wins have been narrow ones, meaning he is climbing the weights only slowly, and there can be optimism this progressive 5yo has more left in the tank. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form lately with wins at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) and from a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta); finished runner-up over this C&D in between and although up 3lb, is likely to be bang there once again. |
