21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
High-class sprinter on turf and AW; his two C&D wins have both been mighty performances and there is no doubt he has the raw ability to give the weight away to today's opponents; sadly he has become a nightmare at the start, refusing to race in three of his last five runs; can't be supported with confidence; stable run four here. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
High-class sprinter on his day and he has tasted defeat in just one of his four runs on AW; fine effort to beat Marshman in a Listed race here in February and third in a Newmarket Group 3 next time; no doubt he has the ability to win a race of this nature but he is increasingly troublesome at the start and he has refused to race twice this summer; capable but too much risk attached to recommend. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Close third in Listed company at Wolverhampton last month on his first attempt at 7f and he wasn't beaten for a lack of stamina; not at his best in a hot sprint handicap at Newcastle on Good Friday; no surprise to see him bounce back with a big run. |
10/1 |

8th 5 (9) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Did well in early 2025 on AW, winning a C&D handicap in good style and following up in Listed company at Lingfield; finished third in the corresponding race 12 months ago when rated 5lb higher; running himself back into form this winter, most recently a close third over 7f four weeks ago, and he looks primed to give Clifford Lee a winning return to the saddle. |
6/1 |

3rd 4 (6) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Strong AW form in the first half of 2025; awkward leaving the stalls in his two runs this winter and the form has been well short of his best; steps up to 7f for the first time. |

9st 5lb |
Sole win on turf in the 2023 Norfolk Stakes; has won five conditions races at Dundalk since, the most recent over 5f in February; has struggled since then, most recently last Sunday at Naas; out of his depth here. |

Four-time AW winner, only 1-27 on grass; never the slightest threat on return to turf at Leicester; others have more convincing profiles. |

11th 11 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Four-time AW winner who has finished close up on Tapeta (5f/6f) in his last three runs; record of 1-26 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he ran well in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) last summer; dangerous. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 13 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race in 2024 off a 2lb higher mark, and he has shaped well on his last two starts; he will need luck if it gets congested up the stands' rail but too much ability to rule out. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Good strike-rate on AW includes a Listed sprint double at Lingfield this year; has lots of good form on turf, including very close third in this race two years ago and respectable fourth in Newmarket Group 3 last time; still a maiden (0-19) in this sphere, however. |
20/1 |

4th 4 (14) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Good strike-rate on AW includes a Listed sprint double at Lingfield this year, sharing the spoils with Completely Random on reappearance; similar to that rival, looks far from guaranteed to maintain the form back on turf; 0-18 in this sphere. |
14/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Smart on turf but AW is his thing and he added another Listed win to his tally when dead-heating in the Kachy Stakes (6f) here three weeks ago; has a penalty to shoulder but that was also the case when he won the corresponding race in 2024 (run at Southwell); a lower draw would have been preferable but he looks set to go well again. |

On a losing run and he has yet to win over this trip; sent off favourite for the corresponding race 12 months ago but faded into tenth; 6lb lower this time around and he has finished second in two of his last four starts; vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Capable 5f performer on his day but has not made the frame in six runs this year; a slow start meant he couldn't adopt his usual front-running tactics at York five weeks ago, and his mark is tumbling, but he's risky. |
20/1 |

19th 4 (18) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Smart front-runner on his day; the handicapper took a dim view of his Beverley win last September and he has found it tough going this time around, including at Redcar 11 days ago after a wind op; he is well handicapped again now though and should have a big run in him if his high draw proves no hindrance. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Three turf wins including over C&D last September and biggest win came following month in Dundalk Group 3; yet to hit that sort of form in three starts this year in Listed contests; back in handicap company now. |
