11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Reappeared over C&D (good) in May in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) having been gelded, and he won that big-field handicap from Thunder Run and Altareq to make it 3-6; fine effort in clear second in the Duke Of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm), where outstayed, and he's due to be 6lb higher in future handicaps; leading claims back down in trip. |

2nd 4 (17) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won in good style in a small field at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last October in his second handicap; gelded and tongue tied when returning over 1m2f in 15-runner handicap at York (good; unraced on firmer) five weeks ago and he won that too, racing freely in mid-division before going on over 1f out to score by 1l; up 5lb and needs to settle better but clear potential still. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Built upon his previous promise (including on turf) to win in good style in a small field at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last October on his second handicap start; gelded since and this lightly raced 4yo could have lots more to offer this season for his top stable; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Two clashes with Scandinavia last term (Royal Ascot and the St Leger) indicated there was little between them at about 1m6f; progress from 3yo to 4yo has delighted his trainer, backed up with an authoritative win from Al Nayyir in the Yorkshire Cup at York, again over 1m6f; lots to like but the difficulty is knowing how well he will be suited by 2m4f. |

1st 6 (3) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Broadly progressive on a range of ground in his first season last year, despite being 0-6 after debut success; beaten a neck from off the pace in the St Leger at Doncaster (14.5f, soft) on final start; that makes him one of the form picks in today's field and, although this trip may eventually turn out to be shorter than ideal, he should be a big player. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Didn't show much in three AW runs at up to 1m4f for Hugo Palmer early last year; now goes handicapping after a gelding operation but he changed hands for just 1,000gns and needs improvement after a long absence. |

8st 6lb |
24,000gns yearling; brother to a US 5f/5.5f winner but he made his debut over 9.4f at Wolverhampton last month and was always behind after a slow start; should know more this time but he needs a transformation upped in trip. |

2nd 3 (7) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Was having his second start for the yard and first since wind surgery when fifth of 11 at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) five weeks ago; 2lb lower than when winning at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last August and worth a second look, especially if backed. |

5th 8 (10) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over 2m at Ffos Las for Jedd O'Keeffe last August (good to soft; awarded race by the stewards) and some fair efforts after that; not done as well since (tailed off over hurdles last time) and has been well beaten all three AW runs; back after wind surgery. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Poor form in novice events but he was a market springer on his handicap debut at Redcar in April (1m2f, good; blinkered first time); dropped away having over-raced on that occasion and he left Kevin Ryan afterwards; never dangerous on stable debut at Pontefract two weeks ago; enough to prove. |
20/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Modest form so far and was a long way from justifying favouritism on handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f, good) on final start for Kevin Ryan; this trip should suit better; new aids replace first-time blinkers. |
