25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Added to his excellent Kempton record with wins over 1m3f and 1m4f this year; another cracking effort there when chasing home the progressive Gamrai over 1m3f in March; probably worth ignoring a recent run on turf but his peak AW form (including all wins) has been achieved on Polytrack. |
16/1 |

13th 9 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Fine from 1m to 1m4f; has won on turf but the AW looks more his scene and especially Kempton where he beat all bar a handicap snip the last time; back on grass others look safer. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Most of his wins have been at 1m but he swooped late on to score over 1m3f in January and led 1f out when asserting in tidy style over 1m4f early this month, both at this track; back up another 5lb and he's a 7yo, but peak form (October 2024) was a little better still and he's now 7-12 at Kempton; on the shortlist. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Gained last success off just 1lb lower at Meydan in March; hasn't scored on home soil for over two years but ran respectably in competitive field at York (1m) last Friday; possibilities back down in grade. |
13/2 |
|
5th 13 (16) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Failed to kick on after big-field handicap win at Meydan (1m, good to firm) in March but returned from a break in the Cambridgeshire (1m1f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and was denied a clear run when finishing an encouraging 11th of 23; he may be able to build on that performance. |
16/1 |

11th 20 (1) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won a big-field handicap at Meydan (1m, good to firm) in March; however, didn't really threaten in Britain on his next three starts in April and May, and returns from a break today; others are more appealing. |

Useful on turf and has performed well in both AW starts, bolting up in a weak Newcastle novice (7f, Tapeta) as a 2yo and only beaten two necks into third of 14 at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; first-time blinkers) last month; may still have more to offer and respected up 1lb. |

1lb lower than when scoring in an amateur riders' event at Goodwood (1m, good) in June, but hard to win with these days and latest close third of six came in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta); look elsewhere. |

9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 5yo; ran well with blinkers added when close fourth at Doncaster (7f, good) in March but he's been disappointing in both subsequent runs; still unexposed on turf but his profile is patchy and others are more convincing; first-time visor replaces blinkers. |
12/1 |

Fairly consistent and is capable of being involved off current mark; however, lacks recent match practice (off since November) and hasn't won for over three years; not the percentage call. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |

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. |

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. |
