9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins from his first four starts, with a soft-ground Listed success at Ayr (1m2f) last September standing out in form terms; respectable third to top-class Ombudsman at Sandown six weeks ago was easily the best of three runs since, all at 1m2f on good ground (unraced on firmer); he needs to return to peak form and to stay a new trip, so others look far more solid. |

3rd 2 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins (1m-1m2f, soft/good to soft) from his first four starts, including two Listed races; his progress has stalled on good going on his two starts since but one was the Group 1 Champion Stakes and the other was last month's reappearance (here); it's too soon to label him a slow-ground specialist and he's not written off in view of his abundant earlier promise. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Maiden winner who's been on the premises in all his five handicaps, albeit managing only sixth of 20 from midfield when clear favourite for the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (upped to 2m) last time on AW debut; no handicap win but he's been pretty reliable and this race is a lot less competitive. |
3/1 |
|
6th 15 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won 1m2f maiden last June; on the premises in all his four handicaps, coming from off the pace when second at Haydock (1m6f) on final 3yo start and when third at Hamilton (1m5f; gelded and hooded) on reappearance six weeks ago; relatively lightly raced, so could have further improvement in him and 2m is plausible for this AW debut. |
15/2 |
|
3rd 5 (10) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won 1m2f Nottingham maiden last June; on the premises in all his three handicaps, closest last time when he came from the back at Haydock (1m6f, good) but to not quite such good effect in the end as Valiancy who made the same move on the other side of the track; gelded since and hooded first time for this reappearance; up 4lb but looks a serious contender. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who enjoyed a solid start to the season and is 3lb lower than when runner-up at Ayr in July; however, three lesser runs have followed and hopes are pinned on the first-time visor prompting a revival. |
14/1 |
|
5 (6) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a course novice (7f, soft; only success) last November; made the first three in handicaps (1m-1m2f) on first five starts this term; down the field in a competitive race at Glorious Goodwood then finished last despite attracting good support at Haydock (1m, good) 18 days ago; question to answer after that. |
5/1 |
|
7 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made the first three in handicaps (1m-1m2f) on his first five starts this season before finishing down the field in a competitive race at Glorious Goodwood (wore cheekpieces; left off today); back in calmer waters here and no surprise if he returns to form. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
One of two for trainer; some decent runs in defeat when trained in Britain and off the mark immediately on Irish debut in a Roscommon maiden over 1m4f in August; built on a decent stable debut here in November when cosily winning a C&D handicap last time off 86; race conditions suit and is a leading contender. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 55y |
9st 10lb |
Some decent runs in defeat when trained in UK; got off the mark on debut for this yard when winning a 1m4f Roscommon maiden; the third that day has since won a maiden; handled soft on debut and is one to consider. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins over 1m2f (good/good to firm) last season; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he hasn't been in peak form in four starts this term; still unexposed at this trip but he needs to raise his game. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 (4) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins, all over 1m2f, last season (good/good to firm; two here); best run this term when second of four at Hamilton last time (1m5f, good to firm); a possible. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins over 1m2f last season; unplaced twice this year but dropped 4lb for his troubles and this represents an ease in grade; stamina for 1m5f not assured. |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
swerved right start, soon pressed leaders, hung right and hampered rival over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong, just held third |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
12th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Son of Arc winner Sottsass; made a pleasing debut when 6l third of 12 at Bath (1m, heavy; 11-1) 11 days ago, beaten by a pair with experience; likely to progress and has to be considered. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
52,000gns yearling; Sottsass half-brother to four winners, notably Brutal (1m 2yo/2m hurdle); dam 1m winner, closely related to 7f 2yo Group 3 winner Drumfire; major stable; this newcomer is one for the shortlist. |

9st 8lb |
Got off the mark over C&D last time when having second AW attempt; has gone back up 4lb; unexposed on Tapeta so should go well again. |

1st 8 (3) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Threatened at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April but he's been well below that form in four runs since; record is now 0-10. |
