1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
All four wins have been on the AW at Newcastle, including a hat-trick early last year; back on his last winning mark and he did chase a strong pace last time (in a race he won 12 months earlier) before folding late on; lightly raced on turf. |
8/1 |

10th 7 (6) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
He was completing a C&D hat-trick when winning the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 3lb lower mark; not at his best in two runs this year (following a gelding operation) and he needs to raise his game. |

7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Three 1m wins at Newcastle last year, including the 1m handicap on Good Friday; disappointing finishing effort when sixth behind Witch Hunter back there three weeks ago; needs to raise his game upped in class. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Three fine efforts on AW to start the year but his run of good form came to a halt when well behind Blue Rc at Newcastle over Easter; acts on turf but has a much better strike-rate on AW; drawn widest. |
20/1 |
|
12th 6 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Finished a good third in this race 12 months ago when rated 2lb lower; arrives in good form, having beaten Popmaster at Lingfield (1m) before a good third at Kempton (7f) 16 days ago; chance if stall 1 proves no hindrance. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Beat very good yardstick in Popmaster for fourth AW win from just eight tries at Lingfield 19 days ago (1m; ridden by Jack Callan for the first time); up just 3lb, and no issue with this shorter trip, but he's never been to Kempton and trainer is just 1-14 here last five years. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned on AW since December, proving consistent until coming up a tad short on finals day last time; has loads of Ascot form but three defeats in this race (finishing positions 074) suggest he can be opposed, especially now aged eight. |
33/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Arrives in fine form, beating The Lost King at Kempton in February and runner-up on his two runs since; sneaking back up the weights and he was only fifth in this race 12 months ago off today's mark. |

9st 9lb |
Belatedly back in winning form the last twice, readily beating Cracking Gold at Southwell (1m) then holding on narrowly in notable handicap at Wolverhampton (8.5f); looks better than ever. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prolific winner at 1m-1m1f on good or slower; inconsistent this season but has slipped to a workable mark and, if in the same form as at Ripon on penultimate start, he could have a say. |
10/1 |
|
11th 13 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Multiple wins at 1m and 1m1f (good or softer) include two over C&D; quite favourably treated now and he was a very respectable fourth at Ripon recently, when just behind a subsequent winner; needs a bit more here. |
16/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins last year (1m/1m1f, good/soft); the last of them came in a seller and he was well beaten on last month's reappearance at Doncaster, but that was the competitive Spring Mile and he may have needed the run; won this in 2022 and he's not discounted off a handy mark. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-15 since winning his first three starts; however, he went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) two starts ago despite trouble in running and was again denied a clear run when sixth there (7f, good) last time; could be in the mix if getting the breaks. |
5/1 |
|
6th 7 (10) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Drawn a blank since winning first three starts for Roger Varian but surely would have put that right over C&D (good) last time with more luck in running, going down by only a head despite being repeatedly denied a run in the penultimate furlong; might need the breaks if he's dropped in from the outside stall but still has to be high on the list. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 12 (1) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won his first three starts over 7f/1m on the AW for Roger Varian, but placed just once in 13 outings since; 24lb lower than when last on turf, but he still has plenty to prove. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Only won one of his last 25 starts and regressed last year; now 11lb lower than when beaten a nose over C&D last spring but there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh; others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |
|
1 (8) |
3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Struggled on his last four starts but he has dropped 9lb as a result; fully effective around here and he's likely to bounce back soon; 7f perhaps his optimum trip though. |
16/1 |
|
11 (3) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Defied a higher mark at Glorious Goodwood last season and placed a few times on AW this year (up to April); not in top form since returning from a break and needs to stage a revival. |
