11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
On a good mark, fully 14lb lower than when winning last season's Great St Wilfrid, but 0-14 at 5f and he is drawn out wide. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
12lb lower than for his win in the Great St Wilfrid last August (6f, good to firm); mixed bag in 2026 but he is the type to pop up soon, albeit probably over a shorter trip. |

8th 11 (10) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) off a 9lb higher mark; some creditable efforts since but he's hard to predict and has struggled at Chester and York in his last two starts; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back on this drop back in trip. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
The most recent of his six wins came at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April 2025 off a mark 3lb higher than today's but he has posted some good efforts since; however, he was below his best at Salisbury 19 days ago and needs to bounce back with cheekpieces back on. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |

Losing run is mounting up but he has proved broadly consistent since last success, most recently beating all bar the market leader at Musselburgh (7f, good); again has place possibilities. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Back on the mark he defied over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in March but recent efforts haven't been obviously encouraging, for all the 7f trip of the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot is almost certainly too short for him these days. |
33/1 |
|
19th 27 (27) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Effective at 7f earlier in career but seems to need much further now and gained last three wins over 1m4f/1m6f (stays 2m); still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf in any case and looks unlikely to figure in this hot prize, back down sharply in distance. |
66/1 |
|
9th 6 (11) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Moving up to 1m4f worked well in December and comparable form at 1m6f/2m since, including another win three starts back; he's come up a bit short in warmer races this year, though, including behind Align The Stars at Kempton, and none of his turf form (admittedly at up to 1m2f) is close to this mark. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Stays 1m but all eight of his wins have come over 7f, the latest at Kempton 18 days ago; should get a good pace to aim at and he holds each-way claims again. |

1st 7 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Well held after a slow start here (1m) 12 days ago but that was after two solid placed efforts at Lingfield (7f/1m); losing run is now up to 15 but he's on a dangerous mark and could get involved if he gets a good pace and some luck; cheekpieces removed. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-13 on AW and 0-11 for current yard, runner-up both starts here; largely consistent this autumn/winter at Kempton and Newcastle but others are more persuasive for the win. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 0-12 on AW and 0-10 for current yard but he has proved largely consistent at Kempton since returned to this sphere; frame possibilities if staying at the same level and win possibilities on best form. |
11/2 |

4th 3 (11) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run up to 16 but much better when third of 12 over C&D last month; that race has produced winners since and he races off the same mark, but the outside stall presents a problem; blinkers return. |

18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seems equally effective over 7f or 1m; back on a mark he can win off and was noted doing some nice late work in race he'd won the previous year over the shorter trip of 7f last time; draw for this prominent racer could have been kinder. |
10/1 |

5th 2 (7) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who recorded another good C&D effort when third of 12 just before Christmas; not in the same form when fifth of six over 1m here nine days later but he's capable of bouncing back. |
7/2 |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

All four wins on Polytrack including two over C&D, the latest in July; again ran well when second of 12 at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) 15 days ago, but he has an awkward draw. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time winner at sprint trips; runner-up over 1m at Chelmsford in January and 1m2f hasn't suited on her last two starts; her reduced mark is a plus and cheekpieces are added, but others have more pressing claims. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

8th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Now 2lb lower than when winning a 7f handicap here on New Year's Eve; also ran well at Southwell (6f) in February but his last three runs have been underwhelming; needs a full revival. |
