31st Mar 2025 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Juvenile hurdler who failed to build on his Southwell effort when comfortably held at Kelso; just ordinary on the Flat and lacks potential; may find better opportunities in handicaps soon. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 3 |

Fair on Flat at up to 1m6f for Jack Channon, winning three times, and he shaped nicely when a close second of nine at Southwell (2m, good to soft) on hurdling debut, making the odd mistake but keeping on; should go well. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Went close in April and won at Doncaster (1m4f, good) in June next time; her two runs since (Newbury) have not been great, though. |

9th 10 (9) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two turf wins, which came last June and at Doncaster (1m4f, good) almost exactly one year later on penultimate start; two seconds earlier this year but she needs to bounce back from a poor show here (1m3f; co-favourite) six weeks ago. |
6/1 |

7th 1 (4) |
24th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |

Bounced back to winning form when successful under Fred Daly at Doncaster (1m4f, good) 18 days ago, winning with a great deal more in hand than the margin would suggest; 5lb rise may prove lenient. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won three times over 1m6f/2m on turf/AW for the Muir/Grassick yard last year and ran well when fourth of 11 on stable debut at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) in December; returns from 252 days off and worth a market check. |
13/2 |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won on soft last October, twice on AW in May/June and, although two of his four starts since were pretty disappointing, he reached new heights when scoring tidily at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; just 2lb higher than last time and when he's won he's done it in some style. |
6/1 |
|
1st 6 (9) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Bath (1m5f, soft) around a year ago but largely kept to AW since and went back-to-back in that sphere (1m6f/2m) across May and June; lesser effort at Kempton three weeks ago but he's not ruled out on this return to turf. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Registered Group 1 wins at Longchamp last October (2m4f Cadran, very soft) and this May (near 2m, soft) and every bit as good when short-headed at Ascot (good to firm) earlier in May; 7-1 for the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm) nine weeks ago and raced in second for a long way before cracking in the final 2f (vet reported signs of heat stress); concedes 3lb all round today but tried to go head-to-head with the best stayers around last time and they are now absent; good chance if back to form. |
2/1 |
|
11th 3 (11) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Huge improver last term, including second in the 1m6f handicap at this meeting and winning two Group events in the autumn, notably the Group 1 Cadran at Longchamp (2m4f, very soft); every bit as good this season, as he gave Sweet William 2lb when short-headed here (2m, good to firm) and followed that with a narrow Group 1 win at Longchamp; today's company demands a bit more but the thorough test of stamina will suit and he's one to take seriously. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 1 |
9st 11lb |
Much improved last year, best effort to land the Group 1 Cadran at Longchamp (2m4f, soft) in October; close second in the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan (2m, good) was a fine start to this campaign and his run on good to firm at Royal Ascot last June, although subsequently eclipsed, looked excellent at the time; needs respect but concedes weight all round. |

Sole win (15 races) was C&D in November; consistent this autumn/winter and should not be far away, assuming the new blinkers have no adverse effect. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Hard to fancy on recent efforts but placed over 1m2f on turf off 9lb higher last summer and the Liam Bailey stable has hit a purple patch in recent days; no surprise were he to go well under Hollie Doyle. |
12/1 |
|
7th 11 (6) |
13th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
May benefit from this step back up in distance with classified/seasonal debut (1m) under his belt but is difficult to support with confidence, being an inconsistent maiden. |
25/1 |

8th 10 (3) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed a glimmer of promise here (1m2f) in September but well beaten here (1m4f) nine days later and he's now 0-16; drops back in trip following a break; others make greater appeal. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

Placed on numerous occasions, including at Southwell, but remains a longstanding maiden and he's been beaten around 12l in his two runs this year; blinkers return and cheekpieces are removed. |
16/1 |

7th 7 (5) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Placed numerous times, including at Southwell, but remains a longstanding maiden and sole effort this year doesn't suggest he's about to belatedly get off the mark. |

7th 11 (7) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
36-race maiden but he went close in two turf handicaps (1m4f) last summer; returns after 210 days off but he's effective on Tapeta and is not ruled out on his first run since rejoining Micky Hammond; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins in an industrious 2025 and another this March; three of those were AW, as was the respectable show in first-time cheekpieces on latest start, while last June's 1m classified win at Chepstow was on soft; others look more solid these days on today's likely good or good to firm ground. |
10/1 |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

All three AW wins have been over C&D, the latest in a classified event in March; has been below that form since and the switch from a hood to first-time cheekpieces needs to have a positive impact. |
16/1 |

9th 8 (11) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

C&D winner last June (soft) off a 4lb higher mark; wants a good test over this trip but is capable of bouncing back, having been given an 11-week break since a couple of lesser efforts in Tapeta 0-50s. |

Sister to Tritonic, who likes soft ground; fast underfoot conditions may have been against her when last of six on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m4f; 7-1) last month; no surprise if she fares much better in first-time visor. |

Poor Flat maiden who struggled when 100-1 for recent hurdle debut at Plumpton; makes no appeal here. |
