25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Good fifth over C&D in last season's Royal Hunt Cup (good to firm) and he reappeared with a win in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March; however, well beaten on both starts since; has to get back on track. |
14/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Good fifth in this race last year but was in a progressive vein of form at the time; some inconsistency has crept in and he finished last (admittedly lost a shoe) in the Spring Cup at Newbury most recently, failing to back up the form of his narrow success in the Lincoln on reappearance. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Can front-run; sole win from 16 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he did step forward from his return when fourth in first-time cheekpieces over C&D 22 days ago; headgear is retained. |
10/1 |

4th 10 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from 15 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he's mostly struggled since and failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m, AW) last time on his first start for 112 days; now drops to 7f with cheekpieces applied on this return to turf. |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Got off the mark at Chelmsford (1m) in September but he's been off since turning in a poor sixth there in December; more is required despite a slipping mark. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Two wins from ten starts over C&D include a success in April off 3lb lower; didn't look in a great mood at Ascot last time but he still ran well to finish fairly close fourth; not ruled out. |
8/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time turf winner who matched that tally on the AW when landing Kempton handicap (1m) in April; never a threat over that C&D last Thursday and it's been a while since he won off a mark this high. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in April and he went close on Polytrack and turf in his next two starts; didn't really fire at Newmarket (1m, good) last time but he still looks on a workable mark and has claims if he can get back near best. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Dual course winner over 1m; unable to kick on from his stable debut last year but he did run okay when fourth at Newmarket (7f, good) on reappearance in June; may improve on that first outing in 226 days. |
14/1 |
|
4th 3 (9) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won first time out twice in the past, which is a positive back from seven months off, although he's getting on now; a long time since he was seen regularly on turf and doesn't run at shy of 1m often, meaning others have more pressing claims. |

11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
9st 10lb |
Won five times in Britain, latest in August; shaped well a couple of times on the AW for this stable but didn't beat a rival home the last twice on turf, slowly away both times; down 3lb. |

29th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Won five times when trained in Britain by Philip McBride; all those wins came on ground with good in the description; slowly away and always behind at the Curragh on latest; new headgear. |

28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 0f 0y |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won over C&D in January and was also on target at Nottingham (6f, good) in June but was always behind at Lingfield (6f, AW) a fortnight ago and is far too inconsistent to rely upon. |
16/1 |

8th 6 (8) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Course winner at 1m; a good spell in the New Year included a 7f win on Wolverhampton AW and he was back on song when winning over 6f at Nottingham in June; soft ground perhaps not helpful on next two starts but he has a bit to prove on his first C&D run. |

9st 10lb |
Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June but has failed to beat a rival in two recent starts for new trainer Iain Jardine; can only be watched at present. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June, after which he changed hands for 19,000gns; rain would be a bonus but he did trail home last at Hamilton only last week (1m5f) and has a good bit to prove at 1m. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1lb lower than when scoring in an amateur riders' event at Goodwood (1m, good) in June, but hard to win with these days and latest close third of six came in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta); look elsewhere. |

Multiple winner in his young days including over C&D, but has only managed to win two of his last 31 starts, one of which was on Jersey; may find a couple too strong. |
