1st 4 (9) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
His 19 course starts have yielded five places and a win over 1m4f back in 2023 but he hasn't been at his best on turf here the last twice; back on a good mark but need to see more. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
18 starts here have yielded five places and a win over 1m4f back in 2023, although he wasn't at his best when beating one home in this race last year; in fair form over this trip on AW in the spring but his return to turf, when beaten 8l over 1m4f here one month ago, will need improving on. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner in 2023; no joy anywhere last season (mostly at this track) but the closest he came was a neck defeat here (1m2f; 4lb higher today) on final start; not far away on AW last three starts this year and the same may be possible on today's return to turf. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Superior on AW but handicapped accordingly and he was a promising fifth over 1m4f here (good to firm) in August, when he raced wide early and was in the lead at the furlong pole; again faded when last of five in Listed race at Chester last time (1m4f, good to soft; tough task at weights) and this drop back in trip could prove ideal; drawn low and one to consider seriously. |
9/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Best form on AW, on which he's 5-7 (including a 1m4f Listed win from the front last December) whereas 0-8 on turf; has shown easily his best turf form in two of his last three starts (gelded before latest) but much better is seemingly required today. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Best form on AW, on which he's 5-7 (including a Listed win from the front) whereas 0-7 on turf; he now has a 10lb lower turf mark and managed sixth of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) on penultimate start, but that's easily his best turf form; gelded since a poor show on latest outing. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Six-time winner on the Flat over shorter trips than this (1m1f-1m4f), including at this track in 2023; beaten about 5l when fifth of seven in a Group 3 over this C&D in May (behind Lazy Griff and ahead of Furthur and Duke Of Oxford) but that was steadily run and he didn't fully prove his stamina; stable won this with Trueshan in 2024 but this 7yo has a bit to find to reverse placings with Lazy Griff. |
5/1 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
7yo who has a good record here and has been better than ever in AW handicaps this year, and he wasn't beaten far when fifth of six in Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; however, his form needs to go to a new level and he's unraced beyond 1m4f on the Flat. |
33/1 |

5th 5 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
In the form of his life this winter with a win at Lingfield (1m4f) in February and close calls in his other three outings; those were on AW, which does seem to suit him particularly well, and also in handicaps, which leaves him with something to find in his first Group venture. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Dual Kempton winner in 2023 and he's very well handicapped judged on form as recent as one year ago; Bahrain last winter did not go well for new connections, however, and although there was a whiff of his old form when seventh of 13 over C&D on his British return in May, he tailed off at Epsom ten days later; soft ground might excuse that but there are questions to answer. |
16/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Locally trained runner who offered something to work on when seventh of 13 at Kempton (1m4f, AW) on his British return ten days ago; also has form on good to soft but latest effort still leaves him with work to do and he finished tailed off in the 2023 running of this. |

9yo who was down the field at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last time but was running consistently well prior to that; this C&D winner has an each-way chance if bouncing back. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |

Hearty strike-rate on turf, adding another in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; less of a win machine on AW but both wins have come on this track, over C&D and 1m4f in early 2024, and he was involved in a tight finish back on AW at Wolverhampton two starts ago; not far away. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Without a win since May 2023 and only four ran when second in a 2m Newbury handicap in July; new cheekpieces did nothing for him when down the field at York last time and he now goes in blinkers. |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Ran creditably on good to firm ground on his first and penultimate turf attempts this season; beaten a neck by Almuhit over 2m in the latter but in just a four-runner race; edging down the weights but others are a bit more persuasive; no win since May 2023 and connections turn to headgear. |

5th 5 (7) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Ran respectably on soft here two years ago; downgraded from Group contests to handicaps for last five outings, running creditably on first and latest attempts this season; they were over 1m6f and 2m, beaten a neck last time but in just a four-runner race; this event is more competitive. |

Mark continues to fall and he showed that the abilty was still there when third of seven behind King's Code at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) in December, but he remains without a win since the start of 2021; others are more persuasive. |
