7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Went very close in a Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good) in May and comfortably made all in Listed race at Newmarket last month (6f, good to firm; Elmonjed second); carries a 3lb penalty today but has leading claims nevertheless at a track where he has plenty of strong form. |

Had a fine 2024 campaign once blinkers were added, winning two Newbury handicaps then blitzing his rivals in the Ayr Gold Cup; 0-4 this year but he has been running with great credit in good company; drops into Listed company and his record of 211 over C&D features a notable 3yo handicap win; looks sure to go well. |

Campaigned almost exclusively over sprint trips; consistent AW form this year includes two wins; effective on turf but hasn't scored in this sphere for three years and he's not the percentage call back at 7f. |

Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in January and he also won at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in February; he's continued in good form on Tapeta on his last two starts and is also effective over this C&D; might have a part to play. |

9st 4lb |
On a losing run but smart at this level on his day, as when coming home like a lion to take a late third in the Gold Cup in 2024; he retained plenty of ability in 2025 and although some way off his usual level this year he might well revive off a handy mark now visored with soft ground helpful. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

On a long losing run but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and his latest Newcastle run confirmed he retains a good chunk of ability, surging to the front 1f out but failing to see out the stiff 7f; this easier test should suit and he can't be discounted. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |

Multiple course wins and he was a close third of 11 over this C&D (good to soft) in August; well below best in two starts since, in first-time cheekpieces in the Bronze Cup at Ayr on Friday, but he's hard to rule out back on this track; further rain probably not helpful though. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Heroic sprinter down the years, winning the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood in 2021 (soft) and 2022, and runner-up in the Gold Cup as a 5yo; harder to place now but was checked in his run at York in July and was a creditable third at Ripon after; not so good in a small field at Thirsk since but this type of race suits him better; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
33/1 |

8th 5 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

His last success was three years ago, but he was a Group 3 winner in his prime and he ran well to finish third off this reduced mark at Ripon (6f, good) last month; could be dangerous if he can back that up and two of his wins have come over C&D. |

Perhaps hasn't hit the heights his novice form threatened but he's still a smart performer and he acquitted himself with great credit in the Stewards' Cup seven weeks ago on his first crack at sprinting; travelled strongly on that occasion but just lacked a change of gear at a crucial stage and this track may prove a better fit; contender. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Looked hot property when running away with a York novice last May (1m, good to firm) and pitched into the St James's Palace Stakes on the back of it (creditable sixth); has some solid 7f handicap form this season, including a fourth at Royal Ascot (still second with 100 yards to go); suffered a blip in the Bunbury Cup last time and now drops to 6f; not the most solid of options. |

He had been bubbling away nicely prior to enjoying his finest hour in last week's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good), digging deep to hold off a smart stablemate; 6lb rise takes him into new territory but he ran well over C&D last month and there could be more improvement lurking. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hold-up sprinter who has been a source of frustration since his last win in October 2023; on a lowly mark and his four C&D runs this year have all been competitive; shouldn't be far away. |

Landed the Wokingham in 2021 and 2022; on a long losing sequence but ran encouragingly in big field at Newbury most recently; fighting chance off current mark. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; responded well to a change of tactics when making all at Pontefract in July (6f, good); not so good in either start since but not handicapped out of things if bouncing back. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Inconsistent 6yo who hasn't gone beyond a bare 6f for a long time and finished down the field at York in July when last seen; however, he won at Pontefract (6f, good) earlier that month and has shown some strong form here in the past (including a soft-ground win); could go well. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

C&D winner; exploited his drop down the weights when making all at Pontefract 18 days ago (6f, good); still has handicapping scope despite a 4lb rise; one to consider. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 1-29 on turf, but he's on a much lower mark in this sphere and didn't get the breaks when a close fifth at Hamilton (5f, good) last month; has claims if he can back that up and this return to 6f is a positive. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |

He is a better horse on AW than turf; a much lower mark in this sphere reflects that but his 1-28 record on the grass doesn't mark him down as the likely winner of this. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Usually races over 6f, runner-up at Pontefract most recently; no certainty to go one better, having failed to score for over two years and with the return to a stiff 7f presenting a question mark. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Had a good 3yo campaign but not won since; went close over 7f at Thirsk in May but neither run since has been comparable; slower ground would be preferable. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
2024 went well but no joy since; did go close behind Brighton Boy at Thirsk in May (7f, good) before struggling in a Class 2 on the AW; could be dangerous off this mark if he did get an easy lead, though that seems unlikely. |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
3yo who has made no impact on good to firm going on his last three starts but his two encounters with slow ground have produced positive results, specifically a Listed third at York (6f, soft) last October and a handicap win at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) this July; blinkers go on; interesting. |

C&D win as a 2yo; returned from wind and gelding operations to win a Thirsk handicap (6f, good to soft) in July; not so good twice since and yard have stronger claims elsewhere. |

Lightly raced 3yo; returned in May from gelding and wind operations to win a 6f handicap at Thirsk in July (good to soft); disappointing at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; others look safer. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Looked the proverbial Group horse in a handicap when sauntering to success over C&D in May 2023 on soft ground; more bad days than good since then but flashes last season that he was still a top-notch sprinter on his day, as when third in the Wokingham off a 6lb higher mark than today's; no better than midfield in two feature handicaps this summer but he didn't run too badly at Goodwood and he has too much ability to discount under these conditions. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has let his supporters down in a host of top handicaps since looking to have the sprinting scene at his mercy in early 2023; has run to form only sporadically in the last two years but his good days are still very good, as when third in last season's Wokingham off a 3lb higher mark; never threatened in this year's Wokingham but it was after an absence and better can be expected this afternoon; stable won this in 2015 and 2019. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made a very bright start to his handicap career when winning twice in the spring of 2023 before a never-nearer sixth of 27 in this race; maddeningly in and out since but he was nevertheless an excellent close third in this (good to firm) under Saffie Osborne 12 months ago and the lack of a recent run isn't necessarily a drawback; no surprise to see his grey head loom up late. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Three C&D runs have yielded two wins and a second; pulled too hard and beaten a long way at Ascot 17 days ago but that was a Class 2 and this should be more suitable; big run expected. |

8th 10 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Two course wins feature one at 7f, but both his wins this term came in Class 4 handicaps at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm), including on his last outing 24 days ago; arrives in good heart but this is a notable step back up in grade. |
