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 |

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. |

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. |

9st 8lb |
Inconsistent sort who made it 1-20 on turf (that grass win came here in 2yo campaign) when well beaten at Royal Ascot last month; however, two starts ago he was a close sixth in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) when he was denied a clear run, and he's not ruled out. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Eye-catcher, amid traffic issues, in the Thirsk Hunt Cup last time; form over C&D comprises a respectable eighth (off current mark) in this contest last year and creditable third (did well having been hampered) later in 2025; still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf, however. |

Two wins for Robert Eddery came over a stiff, undulating 7f, so has that in her favour; lacked consistency for new yard, below par in first-time cheekpieces latest (headgear now off, tongue-tie on), but could easily bounce back. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Twice a 7f winner, including from this mark, in 2024; recent AW form has been significantly better than that on turf; cheekpieces now tried but she has a bit to prove on this surface. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |

Inconsistent but she returned to form with a close third at Lingfield (7f, AW) this month on her third stable start; she's fine at 1m and on turf and can be in the mix if backing up that latest performance. |

Ended 2024 with a runaway win in a 7f handicap at Southwell; created another big impression when winning a conditions event at Thirsk (7f, good) on last season's reappearance and he was a good third of eight upped to Group 3 company when last seen a year ago; drops to 6f for the first time but this strong traveller should have the pace to cope; still has potential. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

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. |

Progressive gelding has taken form to new level this term with excellent Listed efforts at Leopardstown on last two starts; had Alcantor 2l behind when a 1.25l runner-up on latest (1m, good) and should uphold that form; has winning course form in the book and leading claims. |

Course handicap winner at 1m1f; cracking effort when 2.5l fourth in Listed Heritage Stakes over C&D (yld-sft) last month when he had three of these behind despite not getting the clearest of runs; acts on good ground and seems to be improving; a bit to find on the figures, but could go very well. |

5yo who won three handicaps last year (including on heavy ground) and has been better than ever in such races this season, finishing second at Musselburgh (7f, good to soft) then fourth of 28 in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good); however, he has something to find against today's opponents. |
