23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won the 2024 Northumberland Plate (2m, AW) and also a Group 3 handicap in Australia (1m4f, good) last October; usually held up and he came from the back when seventh of 20 in this race last year; whether he's well enough handicapped to win this time round remains to be seen but he's shown enough in his two British starts this summer to demand each-way respect. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won last season's Northumberland Plate (2m, AW) and also a Group 3 handicap in Australia (1m4f, good) last October; some fair efforts in Meydan earlier this year, and also in the Northumberland Plate a fortnight ago following a break, but he needs to raise his game to take this. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Usually runs well at Newcastle, where he won this race last year in good style; took a big prize in Australia last October and struck up a solid sequence over the winter; absent 119 days and 12lb higher than 12 months ago, which surely demands a career best, but needs respect. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Often front-runner; won well over C&D on good to firm last July; somewhat back down the weights and in class when winning another Class 3 in seven-runner race at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; made all) last Saturday in good style; back up 5lb for this Class 2 but each-way claims. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
A two-time 1m4f scorer in 2025; returned from a spell in Meydan with a solid fifth of 12 in 1m3f handicap at Carlisle four weeks ago; not out of things with Billy Loughnane now up. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Campaigned in the UAE this winter, last seen finishing tailed off at Meydan; still 4lb higher than for his last win in Britain and probably best watched after three months off. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Slightly resurgent on reappearance but needs to build on that effort and remains far from solid on his form for current stable; was a useful sort for previous yard. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Useful performer at up to 1m6f for the Gosdens but regressive for his current yard and tailed off in his last five starts, including on hurdling debut in August; has plenty to prove on his return and last win was almost two years ago. |
25/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat performer at up to 1m6f for the Gosdens but regressive for his current yard and tailed off on his last four starts (blinkered on latest); perhaps he'll be sweetened up by hurdling but he carries obvious risks. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Multiple AW winner who should give his running but may struggle to defy current mark (career-high one) and reverse placings with Paradias; finished about 2l behind that rival in this contest 12 months ago and at Wolverhampton latest start. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |

Finished last of six at Ripon on stable/seasonal debut but is interesting assuming he's back in better form with the outing under his belt; dual winner off higher marks at Chester; check the betting, |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Well handicapped on his Chester win (1m4f, good) last May but he's 0-10 since and was well held in his final five runs for Ian Williams; returns after 200 days off and he needs to get back on track for new yard. |
14/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Good second off this mark in better race over C&D on Derby day, having scored at Chester the time before; not in the same form since and suffered a heavy defeat last Sunday. |
