4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Five-time winner at about 1m; creditable third, despite traffic issues, in major handicaps at Doncaster and Ascot (7f) this term; possibilities off same mark back up in distance, provided this race pans out better. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 19 (22) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Useful handicapper at about 1m, winning five times; did well to finish third in the Lincoln at Doncaster in sole outing this term, having come from a difficult position; each-way possibilities, provided he copes with the drop back to 7f for first time since his early days. |
8/1 |

3rd 18 (21) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Inconsistent last season but he ran a big race first time up when runner-up at Newmarket (1m, good) and he won at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) in August; versatile ground-wise and he might not be far away on his reappearance, for a yard that won this in 2023. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Good fifth in this race last year but was in a progressive vein of form at the time; some inconsistency has crept in and he finished last (admittedly lost a shoe) in the Spring Cup at Newbury most recently, failing to back up the form of his narrow success in the Lincoln on reappearance. |
33/1 |
|
24th 5 (26) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Goes well in a big field over a straight 1m; beaten a neck in this race last year (good ground) and made a winning return in the Lincoln at Doncaster (good to soft; beat Rogue Diplomat a nose) three weeks ago; should be in the thick of things again off a 4lb higher mark. |
9/1 |
|
1st 7 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Close fifth in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) last June and close third next time, again at Ascot (1m, good to firm); has shown promise on soft ground; not at the top of his game on his final two outings last term but has an each-way shout if back to his best on this reappearance. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins on turf have been achieved on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in two comeback outings in recent months but eased 3lb and capable of bouncing back to form to a form with a bang. |
9/2 |
|
4th 10 (11) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All three wins on turf have been on the Newmarket July course (7f/1m) but he has been placed in two of his three starts over this C&D, including on soft; never featured on his reappearance 25 days ago and needs to build on that. |
16/1 |
|
10th 9 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent last term but won on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) last June and he kept on well for third over 7f here (good) in September; possible player if at the top of his game on this reappearance. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two course wins on slower than good, the latest off 2lb lower last September; added a 1m2f success at Lingfield in January and his subsequent modest effort at Nottingham may have been needed after three-months off; more appealing than many. |
7/1 |
|
9th 3 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways on Lingfield's AW (1m2f) in January; his four successes prior to that all came on turf (including 1m here) so he should remain competitive off only 2lb higher if fully primed after three months off. |

Eight-race maiden who has inconsistent form; however, last two efforts (6f) suggest this return to 7f is a plus; could go well off a reduced mark. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ended long losing run with a last-gasp win at Lingfield (1m) three weeks ago and he was only narrowly denied on his return visit 11 days ago; on same mark here and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who is without a win since October 2023; ran four times last winter, best effort on first occasion and he's often gone well after other breaks, so he needs a second look off this career-low mark. |
