12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Had an excellent spell last autumn, winning two of his final three starts at 1m (good and heavy); needed further progress to win the Spring Mile at Doncaster in March and that didn't happen but he ran well for a long way; can be more of a factor under Brodie Hampson who won this last year. |
5/2 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
An ideal type for this prize having ended last term with a C&D win, showing career-best form; that was on heavy but he seems versatile as regards ground; further progress is not out of the question; shortlisted. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Did well last autumn (including heavy-ground win) and back to form with a 1m Windsor success (good) in September; only a respectable fourth at Nottingham (good to soft) since, though. |

26th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
0-11; lots of fair form, including at this venue, but her willingness to come home in front is questionable; hood removed for the first time since her debut. |
7/4 |

3rd 6 (4) |
12th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

9/2 |

4th 7 (8) |
20th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Well-bred filly who is now 0-9 and looking exposed, but was runner-up in her only previous handicap and she beat all bar an unexposed favourite in a 1m novice last time; can be keen out in front and perhaps this belated return to 7f will work. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
In prime form in July, winning twice (7f/1m) at Ayr, but the wheels seem to have come off since and he beat only one home on the same course last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
10th 2 (13) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in prime form in July, winning twice here (1m/7f), but two slightly disappointing efforts have followed and he probably needs to rebound with a career-best performance; effective on all ground. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and heavy ground; got back in the groove when winning twice at Ayr (1m/7f) in July but he was disappointing in hat-trick bid there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back near best. |

9th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has a modest strike-rate but won over C&D (soft) in April; largely consistent since, solid second off this mark at Sandown (1m, good; behind a subsequent winner) most recently; one for the shortlist. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Dual winner from the front last summer but has shown very little this season; tumbling in the weights but carries clear risks. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Usually seen over further but he goes well on slow ground and is only 1lb higher than for his big-field win at York last summer (7f, good to soft); big run wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 (8) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't appear to be crying out for the return to 1m at Doncaster and weakened late on; this is his trip, over which he was twice runner-up at Wolverhampton in March; not handicapped out of it, either. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner, the latest coming at Bath (1m, good) in April off a 2lb lower mark; had an excuse when below his best at Thirsk and bounced back to form when third of seven behind Jack Sparowe at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) 24 days ago; could go well. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His good run of form ground to a halt at Thirsk last time but he can be given a pass as he was tight for room at a crucial stage; Billy Loughnane back on board today and his record for him reads 4111; one to take seriously. |
4/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his Wolverhampton win on Boxing Day; added further wins at Wolverhampton (twice) and Bath (1m, good) since; similar form when fourth at Nottingham two weeks ago (1m2f, good); shouldn't be far away if the ground is deemed suitable (untried on faster than good). |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins on turf, mainly in the spring months, and she's 0-12 on the AW; better effort at Windsor in May but never went a yard without the usual cheekpieces (back today) as favourite last time; Polytrack record wouldn't inspire. |
10/1 |
|
9th 10 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
2-3 at Bath, scoring over C&D on her last two visits, but she's not shown her face here since May 2024; has another career-low mark and beaten just under 3l last time, so she brings some interest. |

9th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Twice-raced filly who is far less exposed than most of her rivals; got up on the line at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) then ran respectably at Kempton (AW) where she conceded weight all round; still open to progress and is interesting back on turf. |
7/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
20th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

30th Aug 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Fourth foal; by Invincible Spirit; closely related to winners Imrahor (6.5f/1m; RPR 101) and Dukeman (1m/1m2f turf; 88); dam placed 7f 2yo (73); needs a market check. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times last year (including on good to firm ground) and he returned to form with 2l fourth of 11 at Newcastle (1m, AW) recently; could build on that latest performance and he might not be far away. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (7) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Big improver for this yard last year, winning three times (good to firm/AW) including when making all at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in July; remains feasibly treated on that form but he's been out of sorts in both runs this season and needs to get back on track. |
14/1 |
|
12th 7 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Proved progressive last year having joined this yard, winning three times (good to firm/AW) including when making all at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in July; also ran really well when second of 17 at Ascot (1m, soft; off current mark) in September but he was beaten a long way on his final start of that term and again at Lingfield on his reappearance four weeks ago; needs to put those efforts behind him but that's not out of the question. |
