12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Very capable off this mark when on his game but he refused to race on final run of last season and hasn't looked overly keen to get involved this campaign. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
4-9 over C&D including landing this race three years ago, but his starts have increasingly become a problem, flatly refusing to do so here in October; too risky. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Increasing tendency to blow the start last season culminated in a refusal to race on final appearance; that was at Newbury, where he'd previously been at his best; he's contrastingly 0-6 on AW and none of his form in this sphere lives up to today's mark; probably best watched. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Four wins in 2024 included this race on good to soft, with the other three on soft; performed near his best only a couple of times last season, which has been followed by gelding and wind operations; also now wears first-time headgear; some warning signals and he's not slipped far in the weights. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Ended last season with a couple of soft-ground wins, including edging out Peace Man in this; back to near best when fourth off top weight in warm Glorious Goodwood handicap (good) and not disgraced when fifth in Longchamp Group 3 and Goodwood Listed event since; one of two solid contenders for connections. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Without a win since his second start as a 2yo, but several good efforts since as when beaten a length into third of 24 in the Newbury Spring Cup (1m, good ) last month; Ryan Moore keeps the ride and rain shouldn't be an issue, but the draw could have been kinder. |

3rd 16 (22) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
On a 14-race losing sequence but he was runner-up three times last term, including when beaten a head at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good); went off third favourite in a big field at the Curragh on reappearance but didn't give his running; on a retrieval mission with Ryan Moore booked. |

11th 5 (7) |
15th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y |

0-13 since winning in 2023 on his second start but he went close at Goodwood (1m1f, good) last August and again finished second at Yarmouth (1m1f, soft); an interesting runner despite uneven form. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Useful on Flat and has quickly reached a similar level over hurdles, posting a career best when first past the post in a big field at Aintree's Grand National meeting (2m, good to soft) only to be disqualified for a whip offence; seeks compensation but a 6lb higher mark will make things tougher. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful on the Flat and has quickly reached a similar level over hurdles, finishing a creditable fifth in strong, big-field handicaps at Leopardstown (yielding) and Kelso (also 2m, good to soft) on his last two outings; each-way claims. |
25/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful on the Flat; lightly raced over hurdles and bounced back from heavy defeat in the Greatwood with 11l fifth of 17 in competitive handicap at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) in December; that latest form has received a couple of firm boosts and this Irish challenger has each-way claims. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Very useful gelding who landed 9.5f handicap in Meydan in March; posted a good fourth in Goodwood Listed event in May but last of six in similar company there (1m4f) last month; needs to bounce back. |
8/1 |

6th 4 (4) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Missed 2025; started this season at Meydan and Longchamp but returned to British soil with career-best form 16 days ago when a close fourth of nine in 1m2f Listed race at this track; more to prove on softer than good and this is also his first appearance beyond 1m2f, but that latest run gave some encouragement; either way he needs to find a bit extra. |

Ran well on soft last season but below form on heavy at Newbury 12 days ago; outsider all four starts this term and has not made an impact in any of them (bled from the nose on reappearance) so others are preferred. |

Below-form third when favourite for the 7f nursery at the meeting last year; fourth in a Curragh Group 3 next time was good but she has suffered three heavy defeats in Listed races since (bled from the nose on reappearance); plenty of doubts after that and she looks on a stiff mark anyway. |

6yo whose first go at about 1m2f was a winning one in 15-runner race at the York Ebor meeting (good to firm) in August, leading final 1f at 25-1; won on it in the past but has not shone on softer than good in 2023 or 2024, trying heavy ground (1m2f) on latest start; plenty to find on ratings. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

0-9 in handicaps; best form when second in the closing 1m2f race on this card last year; some respectable shows over 1m4f too, including with first-time blinkers (kept since) on penultimate start; last of ten back at Ascot last Saturday, admittedly in a Shergar Cup race and not beaten far but others have more pressing claims. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |

0-8 in handicaps; easily his best 2025 efforts were two thirds over C&D on good to firm, including when on the heels of Night Breeze on latest start, wearing first-time blinkers, but he needs to find extra. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Did well to finish fifth of 16 over C&D (good) on reappearance four weeks ago having been hampered soon after the start and raced wide; however, he goes well fresh so may not improve for that outing, and it's likely this 9yo will be vulnerable against numerous unexposed contenders. |
50/1 |

5th 4 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ten-time winner who was close to a lifetime best when bagging Doncaster handicap (1m2f, soft) at the Leger meeting in September; still marooned on this career-high mark despite two subsequent defeats but his form figures after a 50-day break or more read 32112913 and he won't mind if the rains come. |
25/1 |
|
6 (4) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
8yo who has been in and out this year and was soundly beaten at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last time but prior to that he won over today's C&D (soft) and can't be ruled out off this 4lb higher mark. |
