2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer; well handicapped on his 2024 form but he was only seen twice last year and finished down the field on both occasions; enough to prove back from a break. |

10th 3 (11) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten 1l into fourth in this race 12 months ago (off this mark); absent until finishing down the field at York last week; due to be 3lb lower in the future and he needs to have come on a good deal in a short space of time. |
20/1 |
|
16th 5 (12) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
A wind operation in October 2023 proved successful and he had some smart sprint form last year, notably a narrow win at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good; made all); ran well off this mark at Southwell when last seen 356 days ago; upset in the stalls and withdrawn at Goodwood in May; this is a tough race in which to make his return. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
She divided Washington Heights and Jm Jungle in a York Listed race (5f, good to firm) last July and later won at that level in France but, even allowing for having a fitness edge, she has to raise her game to win today. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Made good progress last summer, notably when beating male opposition in a 5f Listed event at Deauville in August; shaped nicely in a good 5f handicap at Southwell on her return to action two weeks ago; strong claims. |
100/30 |

7th 3 (6) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |

She made a winning seasonal debut in a Class 3 handicap over C&D 12 months ago; found some improvement in the second half of that campaign, including a Listed win in France last August (5f, good); looks high in the weights ahead of her return to action. |

Three-time winner on good to firm last year, including over C&D in August off a mark 1lb higher than today's; 0-4 in Bahrain this winter but now returns to Britain on a handy mark having been off for 83 days; could have this run to suit and holds claims. |

Has gone 3-4 in cheekpieces and was drawn out of contention in the defeat at Goodwood; however, the handicapper is creeping closer and this race demands his best form yet. |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has won two of his last three and was drawn out of contention when beaten at Goodwood; always in a good place before doing it comfortably at Windsor (5f, good to firm); 7lb rise asks a question but he's on top of his game. |

29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Placed in Group races at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood as a 2yo; only win since came in Dubai (6f, good; stable debut) in January 2024; he's been in Bahrain this winter, only running to form once; on a reduced mark back in Britain and William Buick booked so can't be discounted, for all he isn't a solid option. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won on stable debut at Meydan in January; unplaced all five outings since but he was far from disgraced considering meeting trouble when seventh to Vintage Clarets at Catterick last week; that run suggested he's fine on soft ground and he has possibilities from a falling mark. |

23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
6yo who rose through the ranks last season and won the Group 2 King George Stakes at Goodwood (5f, good to soft) in August; reappeared with respectable fourth of 14 to Night Raider in the Palace House at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago and he could show the benefit of that outing today. |
9/1 |

4th 4 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Below best from a high draw in the Group 1 Abbaye on final 2025 start; thoroughly reliable previously and he richly deserved his Group 2 win at Goodwood (5f, good to soft; effective on good to firm) last August; versatile track-wise but has never run at Newmarket so there is a query to answer. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (13) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Thoroughly honest 5yo who has risen to new heights over 5f this year with his win in the Dash at Epsom (good; acts on good to firm) topped by a Group 2 win at Goodwood last time out, albeit with the race going like clockwork for him; has more to do in this company, including with Washington Heights on Listed form over C&D in July, but he won't fail for the want of trying. |

17th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Quiet in Bahrain over the winter and fared no better back in Britain when a remote last of seven at Goodwood two weeks ago; has lots of ability, on a lowly mark, tongue-tie returns and stable amongst the winners but, even so, he's not a solid option. |

Inconsistent 6yo but he has plenty of talent, as witnessed at Yarmouth last summer when he powered home to win a Racing League handicap (6f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; out of sorts in Bahrain over the winter; can win a nice prize this year but not sure this race will set up ideally for his hold-up style. |

Latest run at Nottingham is easy to forgive (unsuitable ground) and he had recorded a career-best RPR when winning at Wolverhampton (5f) on his penultimate start; no issue with 6f but 5f is possibly his optimum. |

Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Has a stunning record at this meeting, winning four of his five attempts, including this race for the last three years (soft, good and good to soft); well held of late but he ran no worse last time out than he had in his prep race before the 2023 win and he's weighted to have a big chance despite being 3lb wrong; Hollie Doyle rode for his 2021 win; drying ground could be the sticking point, however. |

Unplaced in this race in 2021 and 2023 and short of his best when last seen on AW in February; his last three wins have come in the same 5f handicap at Glorious Goodwood and that race looks a better fit than today's. |

Front-runner who looks well handicapped on his win at Haydock (5f, good) last autumn but he's been disappointing at Musselburgh and Goodwood this spring; has some questions to answer and he needs a major revival with headgear removed; stablemate of Rhythm N Hooves. |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Looked a sprinter with a big future when winning a well-contested 5f handicap at Ascot last summer but he refused to race at Goodwood 17 days later and he's been well beaten in three runs this year, starting slowly at both Epsom and Ascot on his last two outings; this is his first start at 6f and given he has been headstrong, it isn't sure to suit; not short of ability but the risks are obvious. |
20/1 |

16th 7 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Up-and-coming sprinter in 2024, best form when beating a high-class rival over C&D (good; handles good to soft) last July; however, he refused to race later that month and hasn't been sighted in two runs this year; too talented to ignore but he's back from another break today. |
