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. |

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. |

Strike-rate of 5-8 and long absences are a feature in his profile; back from another to produce career-best form in beating Marvelman at Newcastle in June (6f AW) but he'd be no certainty to confirm those placings on 5lb worse terms, while there are plenty of others to worry about; on the plus side, he remains a relative unknown quantity and trip/ground will be fine. |

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. |

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. |

Inconsistent but he is a smart performer, as when beating his 21 rivals at Doncaster last November (6f, heavy); raced exclusively at 7f since, with mixed results, but this mark isn't beyond him and a big run could be on the cards back down in distance. |

Generally in good form, mostly on AW, for current stable and latest effort is best forgiven (race didn't pan out favourably); not disgraced in most recent turf attempt but is still seeking a first success in this sphere and is somewhat hostage to fortune the way he races. |

Both wins have been on AW and he went close in his bid for a double at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; never involved back on turf at Ascot in May but he started slowly and was hampered at a crucial stage; now goes back up in grade but he has possibilities back on Tapeta. |

Lost his way as a 3yo but he had smart 6f handicap form last May and a close second to Diligently over C&D (good to firm) in June signalled a return to better days; a Thirsk win at 6f and a close third over 5f at Ascot have followed and he can be in the thick of it. |

Stays 6f well but he isn't short of speed and this belated first attempt at 5f looks an interesting move; arrives in top form, successful at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago, and a 4lb rise still leaves him with handicapping potential. |
