2nd 1 (5) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
10st 3lb |
British raider won twice at Meydan in the spring, landing a Group 2 and a Group 3 (both at 5f); came up short in a 6f Group 1 there in April; below-par last twice on turf but he is 2-3 on the AW so could rebound in first-time cheekpieces after an 111-day break. |

8th 6 (10) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice in novice company on AW as a 2yo; form took off in Dubai earlier in the year, winning a Group 3 and a Group 2 over 5f; he has struggled in Group 1 races on his last two starts, though, and his 5lb penalty could leave him vulnerable today. |
8/1 |

23 (23) |
17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Had a promising, rather than stellar, 2yo season but he raised the bar when breaking the 5f track record in a Group 2 at Meydan (good to firm) in January, without having too hard a time either; he wasn't so overbearing when following up next time but this trip will suit better than the 6f he ran over when eighth to Believing there in April; not dismissed. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-13 but he retains plenty of the ability that saw him earn a mark of 80 after his first three starts; both C&D runs have been encouraging and he's high on the list. |
7/1 |

4 (7) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
12-race maiden but he was beaten only a length when third of 15 at York (5.5f, good) in July and was a close seventh of 16 at Doncaster (5f, soft) under Warren Fentiman ten days ago; has claims dropping in grade. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Often leads but can be slowly away; took a steep rise in the weights for two 5f wins in early spring but she absorbed it and added another win, from the fast-finishing Ancient State, on Lingfield AW in April; another solid effort back on turf there 11 days ago; strong showing likely back at 5f on AW. |
6/1 |

3rd 4 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who's had plenty of moments at the stalls; got it right when registering her third AW win of the year last time, but returns to turf on a career-high mark upped 4lb and the extra furlong is a concern. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two 5f wins this year, making all at Wolverhampton on the second occasion off a 9lb lower mark; her ability to overcome this mark isn't in question but the start continues to be an issue and others look safer. |

8st 11lb |
Filly by Havana Gold; made a successful debut at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March but she was laboured under a penalty there on her return last month; now switches to turf and she has stacks to find in this hot race. |

18th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to progress for Karl Burke and changed hands for 2,600gns in November; modest headway into fourth in this headgear on recent stable debut at Lingfield (6f; 25-1, when newly gelded). |

4th 8 (3) |
7th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Failed to progress in three runs for Karl Burke last August/September; changed hands for 2,600gns in November and gelded; new connections quick to fit a hood for his handicap debut. |

26th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
12-race maiden who has been well beaten in his last two runs but he failed to see out 1m2f last time and was placed a few times earlier in the year, going close over C&D in March; each-way possible now back down in trip. |
14/1 |

6th 8 (5) |
12th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Went close off 2lb higher at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March and was good third at Yarmouth next time, but his form has cooled in last two starts; has bit to prove again and he's now 0-11; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (3) |
14th May 2025 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-10 but he's been generally consistent since joining this yard in January; behind Paragon when fourth of 13 at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last week and needs a bit more in the added cheekpieces (has tried blinkers and hood) to turn those placings around. |

Sent handicapping with blinkers on AW over 5f/6f on last two starts and has finished closer, but marked improvement is still required in today's different headgear. |
