19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Suited by AW; both turf wins on good to firm and although he's 10lb lower than when last to finish in the Gold Cup 12 months ago he has not yet indicated that he handles anything slower than good. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
On a losing run but he posted a very good second after wind surgery at Chester (6f) in June; went without his usual cheekpieces when last of 21 in 6f York handicap last month; no surprise to see him bounce back. |

Three poor runs to begin his turf campaign but he underwent wind surgery in June and returned to form with a close second at Chester (6f, good) four weeks ago; not certain to confirm those placings with Stratusnine. |

Has five C&D wins on his resume, including two Wokinghams and two Group 3s; getting on for two years since his last win though and this might be too competitive these days. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hold-up sprinter who has been a source of frustration since his last win in October 2023; on a lowly mark and his four C&D runs this year have all been competitive; shouldn't be far away. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has kept his head down on AW for new yard and again without the cheekpieces he wore for the latest of four wins (6f and 7f) for previous stable; back on turf with a query but he's dropped a hefty chunk in the weights and this trainer may well get a good tune out him at some stage. |
33/1 |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
4-21, with the most recent success coming at Newbury (6f, good) last April off a 12lb higher mark than today's; below his best on his final three starts for Richard Hughes and has failed to beat a rival home in two outings for this stable; others preferred. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 1-29 on turf, but he's on a much lower mark in this sphere and didn't get the breaks when a close fifth at Hamilton (5f, good) last month; has claims if he can back that up and this return to 6f is a positive. |
12/1 |
|
6th 13 (14) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
He is a better horse on AW than turf; a much lower mark in this sphere reflects that but his 1-28 record on the grass doesn't mark him down as the likely winner of this. |

Veteran who showed his best form for a while when winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in February; below his best on turf at Goodwood 19 days ago but cannot be overlooked back on AW. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Has enjoyed a terrific season, including four handicap wins on good/good to firm; last week's second on unfavourable terms in a Beverley conditions race was a career-best RPR; course winner; has to enter calculations. |

2nd 1 (4) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |

As good as ever as a 9yo, recording four wins this year and running with credit in Listed event at Beverley (5f, heavy) 13 days ago; should run his race but there are likely to be better handicapped opponents today. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Not the easiest to win with but he rewarded strong support when landing a Class 4 handicap at Sandown (5f, good to soft) in August; never dangerous in the Portland three weeks ago but this is more manageable and he finished second in this race last year off a 5lb higher mark. |
14/1 |

16th 21 (13) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Not the easiest to win with but he rewarded strong support when landing a Class 4 handicap at Sandown (5f, good to soft) two weeks ago; back up 3lb but that's less of a concern than the stiffer opposition. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Both wins over 5f; has a hold up style which dictates that he needs things to fall right but he's now 8lb lower than when second to Roach Power at Ascot (5f, soft) last autumn and he didn't run too badly in a series final at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; considered with Roger Teal among the winners. |

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. |
7/1 |

7th 1 (3) |
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. |

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. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ten-time winner who scored at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in Janaury but he's not got involved in his last three starts; now 2lb lower than for that last success but he needs to rediscover his spark. |
20/1 |

5th 2 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent record round here (2-4 over C&D) and is back on the mark off which he won here in January; not in the same form of late, there's always a chance he'll blow the start and it's no certainty the race will be set up for him. |
8/1 |

6th 3 (3) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner who gained his sixth success on the AW at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January; didn't quite see 1m out when sixth there in February and he never featured in a 0-105 at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago; will appreciate the drop in grade but he'll want a good gallop to aim at over this shorter trip. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Thereabouts in 6f Group races in France and Ireland last summer, including on good to firm, and has shed a few pounds with his mark since; hampered on last two AW starts and not discounted back on turf in first-time cheekpieces for yard that won this with 22-1 shot Saint Lawrence (also runs today) in 2023. |

6th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 2 |

Two 7f wins last spring, including Listed; made a promising seasonal/handicap debut when third at Lingfield in February (6f) but he was disappointing over C&D last month, awkward leaving the stalls but unable to make up any ground in the straight; dropped another 2lb; more appealing over further. |
