Five-time Flat winner is rated 70 in that sphere; beaten 21l on hurdling debut at Down Royal recently; can do better. |

One of two runners for yard; five Flat wins when trained in UK; regressive for this yard, though running well at times; could go well on hurdles debut if jumping holds up. |

9st 9lb |
Third in a Class 2 at the Newmarket July meeting before 4l winner from the front at Sandown (both 1m2f, good) in August; creditable fourth of 12 in 1m4f York Ebor meeting handicap (good to firm) last time and has to be a player back in slightly calmer waters; showed promise on soft last year. |

7f novice win as 2yo; better form in defeat in handicaps this year, finishing second over 1m1f here (good to firm) before a good third of ten in a traditionally very strong 3yo event at the Newmarket July meeting (1m2f, good) four weeks ago; should go well. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Placed twice in a row in Bahrain earlier this year and didn't run badly when fifth of seven at Windsor in June following a three-month break; could build on that latest run and continues to drop down the weights, but he's without a win since July 2023 and others are more compelling. |
40/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Well treated on old form but his last win was almost two years ago; two placed efforts in Bahrain (1m1f/1m2f) earlier this year but he returned to Britain with a heavy defeat at Kempton in March; now drops back in grade but he's hard to predict and comes with risks attached after a break. |
16/1 |

29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made most when second in this race last year off 11lb higher, the last of only three ventures on AW; that has to catch the eye and he also has a chance on turf form for Charlie Johnston as recent as September; fit from placed efforts in Bahrain for new yard this year and a case can be made. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Form figures of 5075 at this meeting in the last four years; one win a season had previously appeared his quota but he's already exceeded that in 2026, having scored at Pontefract (1m4f/1m2f) on last two outings; that demands some respect but this race is a higher grade. |
10/1 |

1st 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time Flat winner, including C&D, who has been all or nothing since scoring over hurdles at Cartmel in July; three AW no-shows followed good second over C&D (soft; 40-1) in October but market support predicted a going day when scoring here (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; might not want the ground to get too quick but otherwise a key player under 2lb nudge. |
5/4 |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Now 5lb lower than when second here (1m2f, soft) last October but did not emerge from the rear division when a big-priced outsider for all three subsequent AW runs; considered only if much strong in betting today. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Can take a hold so needs a good pace to aim at, which he had when winning at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in August; still 2lb higher, but this may also be run to suit him so very much frame material. |
20/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Below par on AW last time; largely respectable form on turf otherwise this season, notably Windsor success in August; possibly has very little in hand off current mark, however. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
The latest of three turf wins was at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; one respectable effort on dirt at Jebel Ali in early 2024 but unraced on AW in Britain and he likely needs something new for Tapeta if he's to defy his current mark. |

2-28, with the second of those wins coming at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last April; left the impression he could be worth another go at this trip when fifth at that track over 1m6f 37 days ago; each-way contender. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

2-27 overall, with the second win here (1m4f) last April; three seconds over 1m2f-2m in the autumn, form which he's not quite matched this year but he still has a place squeak. |

Didn't always look straightforward for Andrew Balding for whom his form petered out; however, he won two of his eight races (1m/1m2f) for that yard and has joined another good one to go hurdling; bought for 20,000gns. |
