27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won in a big field at York (1m, good to firm) last August and he's unexposed at today's trip, which could suit; best run of this light campaign came when fourth at Ascot last month but he needs something extra today. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Best form when finishing strongly to lead close home at York (1m, good to firm) last August; just two runs this year, following a fair reappearance with a never-sighted run at Goodwood (1m1f) last week; has cheekpieces fitted now but he remains with potential and this stiff test can suit. |

Ran well when fifth here (good to firm) last August and won competitive 3yo handicap at York (1m, good to firm) later that month; fifth of 12 on return at Sandown (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago and could be suited by this extra furlong; unraced on softer than good; retains potential for top yard. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
0-4 last season but this prominent-racer ran well more often than not, including when third in the Group 3 John Of Gaunt at Haydock (7f, good) on his reappearance; also effective at 1m and on slow ground; there can be optimism he'll be at or close to the top of his game on this seasonal debut; chance. |

Beat very good yardstick in Popmaster for fourth AW win from just eight tries at Lingfield 19 days ago (1m; ridden by Jack Callan for the first time); up just 3lb, and no issue with this shorter trip, but he's never been to Kempton and trainer is just 1-14 here last five years. |

Unexposed 4yo who was impressive when taking his career record to 4-6 in smart 7f conditions event at Thirsk (good) on reappearance in April; subsequently recruited by Wathnan Racing; looks one who can make his presence felt in this higher grade. |

Unexposed 4yo who won three of his four starts as a 3yo, notably a Southwell Class 2 handicap the final time (7f); surged clear in the final furlong on that occasion and although he's taking on smart opposition here, he looks well worth his place in the field. |

A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April and, having run well over 1m2f in the past, he didn't have a problem with 1m1f when a close third, just behind Ayr Poet, at Ayr since on yard debut; remains on a career-high mark though so a shade more may be needed. |
