9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Effective on turf but still has a better strike-rate on AW and ended his rather truncated 2025 campaign with defeats (admittedly not entirely disgraced) in major handicaps over this C&D, finishing sixth then ninth; needs to raise his game on reappearance. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Couple of sound efforts back on turf since his productive spell on AW; has something to find with Akkadian Thunder on Royal Ascot running last time but that effort suggests he could be set for further prize-money, which again goes down to sixth place. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Can lead; progressive on AW since dead-heating for most recent turf win, at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) last May; ran a solid race when a close fourth of ten back on turf at Haydock (7f, good) in April, but several of these should prove better treated. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Winner over this trip on turf at Meydan in 2021 and 2024; more miss than hit in second British spell and a recent change of scenery/break hasn't helped. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Two-time 7f turf winner at Meydan who is on a competitive mark on 7f/1m AW form from late last year; the drop back in trip may not be an issue and he was returning from a break when down the field on last month's stable debut at Glorious Goodwood, but he may be best watched for now. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Several good efforts in defeat against top 6f handicappers this year but he never shifted much in the weights and the return to soft ground may have made the difference when he made nearly all to win the Ayr Gold Cup recently; serious rain would bring him into the reckoning. |
12/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to win this year but he's run some mighty races in defeat, in the frame in the Stewards' Cup and last week's Portland (only run out of second in the closing stages); should run his race again but there will probably be a few stronger. |
16/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |

Fourth to stablemate Two Tribes in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood but then ran poorly in another big field at York and doesn't look to have much in hand of the handicapper. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 1lb |
All six wins have been gained on AW; in good form at Dundalk last winter, soft ground probably wasn't ideal on turf comeback (slowly away) over C&D early this month and fair bit to find with Gleneagle Bay on that run. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

All six wins have been gained on AW; in good form at Dundalk this winter before a below-par Newcastle run on latest; others have much stronger claims on turf form. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time course scorer (6f/7f) for William Haggas; struggled on turf in Ireland for this yard last autumn but has found form again since returning to AW, placing three times at Dundalk (7f/1m) in recent months; has to enter calculations for a stable with a good record in Britain. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his fine third at York's Dante meeting and he confirmed his wellbeing when seeing off 20 rivals back at York two weeks later (7f, good); ran poorly when an odds-on favourite at Chepstow one week later; fully effective over C&D; can't be dismissed. |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Useful in his younger days and, having regressed last year, has found his level again of late; easily beat a big field from the front at York last weekend and a 6lb rise may well be within range now he's back in the groove. |

9st 9lb |
Last turf win came off an 11lb higher mark at Newmarket in August 2022 (6f, good to firm) but has won twice on AW since (6f/7f); sound run when close third to Delicacy over C&D last time last time (good to firm) and although 2lb higher is one with a chance. |

Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 7lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and a wide draw offers an excuse at Chester since. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Recorded his sixth victory of the year with a career-best effort in 5.4f handicap at York 16 days ago; he's also a winner in the mud so must enter calculations once more. |
5/1 |

7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He has enjoyed a fine season, winning five handicaps, and he ran another sound race when fourth in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon three weeks ago; this intermediate trip should suit and he's versatile where the going is concerned; likely to run well but might find a few better treated. |
10/1 |
|
2 (17) |
16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He's enjoyed a fine year and although he's come unstuck on his last two starts, he did too much early at York and then raced up the middle in the Stewards' Cup; earlier Ascot win off just 2lb lower was a fine effort; first visit to Ripon but he has won on the undulations at Epsom; drawn against the rail and a big run would seem likely. |

Ended a long losing sequence with a 10.5f Cork win last month under this rider (good to yielding) off 5lb lower; didn't appear to appreciate drop to 7f back at Cork last time when staying on for seventh (short head behind Dark Viper); others more likely. |

24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |

Seven-time winner, last win at Dundalk in February 2024 off 3lb higher; some good efforts last year, including over this trip on the AW, and creditable run in the circumstances (slowly away) at the Curragh on latest under today's rider; one to consider. |

9st 6lb |
Was having his first start after a second wind operation when down the field at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) 15 days ago; 2lb lower then when just missing out at Chester (5f, soft) in June and each-way claims if reproducing that sort of form. |
