5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Hasn't been at his best since a Listed win at York last May but he's on a reduced mark and showed some spark when third at Goodwood in May; he's had wind surgery since a midfield finish at York later in May and it will be no surprise if he runs well on AW debut. |

12th 11 (8) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
His best form is at 5f and he hasn't been at the top of his game since a Listed win at this meeting last May; however, he kept on well for third at Goodwood (5f, good) recently, suggesting the return to 6f is worth exploring, and his two career wins have both come here; a visor goes on. |

Bagged 5f York listed event last May; off seven months/gelded before posting an encouraging eighth of 14 in 5f Musselburgh handicap 27 days ago, nearest finish having lost ground when hampered soon after start; not without interest off a reduced mark. |

C&D maiden winner on good-to-firm last August; runner-up in a 5f Listed race at York and third in the Flying Childer; surpassed European form when beat fellow Irish raider Arizona Blaze in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar (5f, firm); reported to have a mouth injury after a dismal Naas run on seasonal debut; good chance to get season back on track. |

112 rated 3yo Mehmas colt progressed well as a 2yo, culminating with a win in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar (5f, firm); well-treated by the race conditions on his return, fast ground is ideal and while this is likely a stepping stone towards bigger targets later in the season, he is the one they have to beat. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
A fairly useful ex-Irish 5f winner; yet to hit top form for his current yard but better signs when ninth of 14 in 5f Newcastle handicap three weeks ago; no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark if building on it. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Ex-Irish 4yo; best run for current stable when ninth at Thirsk last month; the return to 5f/AW won't faze him but this looks a warm race in which to end his losing streak. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Can lead; smart 2yo who began 3yo season on a mark of 102; has shown just humdrum form in three turf handicaps, despite a sliding mark, and was way back behind Justcallmepete at Bath last week; has it to prove now. |
10/1 |

11th 5 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins were on turf in 2024 but he's well treated on old form and has run respectably on Tapeta (5f/6f) in last two starts; can make the running and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back in this sphere. |
6/1 |

4th 5 (8) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Having tumbled down the weights there were signs of a possible revival when keeping on for third in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton last week (attracted support); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and today's return to 6f won't be an issue; can't discount. |

Yet to win but his close second in the Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, heavy) is arguably the best piece of form on offer here; not at that level when fourth in the Group 3 Cornwallis at Newmarket (5f, good to soft) 15 days ago but it was another useful performance; blinkered first time. |

Never gave her running in the Queen Mary and then finished second in a Naas Listed race (5f, yielding); behind three of these when only sixth at York (5f Listed) but was soon on the back foot after starting slowly and ran well all things considered; worn this headgear combination the last twice; no forlorn hope at lengthy odds. |

Did well for Stuart Williams in the second half of 2025; solid efforts on his first two runs this year before taking his form to new heights with a runaway win at Windsor (6f, good to firm); hit with an 8lb rise for that but it was a good time and there is no suggestion he was flattered; promising apprentice takes off 5lb; one to consider. |
6/1 |

1st 9 (10) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Narrow 6f defeat at Chepstow last August but his next two runs at the trip were a failure and kept to shorter since, winning at Haydock (good to soft) in September; two respectable efforts at 5f this year (no aids latest) don't suggest this mark is ripe for plucking back at 6f, though. |
5/1 |

5th 8 (11) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Won a 5f handicap (good to soft; first time in tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination) at Haydock last September off a 6lb lower mark; stayed on for second behind the impressive Lexington Blitz at Goodwood on last month's return; withdrawn at York two weeks ago having got upset in the stalls (9-1 at the time of withdrawal); the more rain the better; no accessories today. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Looked a smart prospect last season, beating his 21 rivals at York's Dante meeting and second of 20 at the Ebor meeting; not at his best in three runs in Dubai but this mark should be in range and he has won on Tapeta and after a break; goes without accessories (usually hooded) today; interesting for a yard in form. |

6 (8) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Underwent wind/gelding operations prior to his successful seasonal/handicap debut at the Dante meeting and returned to York a month ago when he held his own against older opposition (beaten a head); up another 4lb but he's a fast-improving sprinter who won his novice here. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 10 (4) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Wind and gelding operations prior to his seasonal/handicap debut at the Dante meeting here (5f, good to firm) in May, a race in which he proved far too strong for 21 rivals; that race hasn't worked out quite as well as might have been expected and he will need to improve again to defy an 8lb rise; low mileage though and his record suggests a three-month layoff is no bad thing; first run beyond a bare 5f. |
