17th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who is 3-6; this is her first crack at sprinting but she doesn't look short of gears and would have won more easily at Epsom (7f, good) recently had she not idled; 3lb higher; hooded the last twice but not today. |

sweating, swerved right start, took keen hold, in touch with leaders, switched to centre 3f out, pushed along 2f out, ridden to lead over 1f out, idled final 110yds, always doing enough |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 1lb higher; also good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap in May and better than eighth of 11 might suggest at Beverley ten days later, fading late after racing too keenly; Mason Paetel has won on him before; runner-up once from two outings over C&D and enters calculations. |
13/2 |

8th 3 (9) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell and comes here on the back of a good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap; this three-time C&D scorer must enter calculations. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Best form this season when placed twice at Haydock, including latest start; still on a workable mark but continues on a long losing sequence, which makes him a similar type to Billyjoh. |
16/1 |
|
3 (2) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Record over C&D includes a success in May 2023 and solid second on reappearance this term; disappointing favourite here on penultimate start and losing run is mounting up; best form certainly gives him a good chance off current mark back down in grade. |
7/1 |
|
11 (1) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Disappointing favourite at Haydock last Saturday, extending his long losing sequence; beaten twice in this contest (seventh in 2023, well held in 2024) and can be opposed. |

3rd 6 (10) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say. |
16/1 |
|
13th 1 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Disappointing at Epsom a fortnight ago but won on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) last month and he has a very solid record at this track, featuring a C&D win and 2l fourth in this last year; could bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
17th 8 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Versatile regarding ground and he was winning his 12th race when beating Jimmy Speaking and Final Night at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; that was a comfortable win and he has the assistance of Ryan Moore but this demands more from him (has never won off a mark this high). |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Winless last season but ran some promising races and did likewise when fourth on his reappearance at Chester (7f, good; Supido third), having been dropped in from a wide draw; continues to drop down the weights; chance. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (12) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Course winner; only eighth in the corresponding race 12 months ago; 4lb lower today but he is drawn wide and this may not be his day. |

25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two 6f wins, the second on Polytrack off a 4lb lower mark; some of his placed form since reads well and a lesser effort last time can be excused as the undulations of Epsom looked an issue; should get a good pace to aim at and he holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |

26th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |

4/1 |

4th 12 (1) |
15th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Consistent 3yo who kept on well for 3l second at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) recently in first-time cheekpieces (retained); on that latest evidence today's first crack at 1m is well worth a go; he's a possible. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
High marks for consistency of late and belatedly doubled his tally at Lingfield last month (1m4f, AW); better form when going down by a nose under same conditions next time and it wasn't much of a drop off when third at Windsor last week; hard to rule out. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Just two wins from 25 starts but latest was at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month and he had a near-miss on his return visit three weeks ago; up another 3lb but he remains feasibly treated and his first win was on turf; strongly respected. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a first success (since his debut in 2023) when edging out Wonder by 1l in 15-runner handicap over C&D 24 days ago; 2lb worse off here but still not taken lightly. |
