27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2024 with a runaway win in a 7f handicap at Southwell; created another big impression when winning a conditions event at Thirsk (7f, good) on last season's reappearance and he was a good third of eight upped to Group 3 company when last seen a year ago; drops to 6f for the first time but this strong traveller should have the pace to cope; still has potential. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Unexposed 4yo who was impressive when taking his career record to 4-6 in smart 7f conditions event at Thirsk (good) on reappearance in April; subsequently recruited by Wathnan Racing; looks one who can make his presence felt in this higher grade. |
3/1 |

12th Apr 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Unexposed 4yo who won three of his four starts as a 3yo, notably a Southwell Class 2 handicap the final time (7f); surged clear in the final furlong on that occasion and although he's taking on smart opposition here, he looks well worth his place in the field. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Running in this for the third time, finishing second in 2023 and 2025; on both occasions he arrived on the back of a 7f win at Kempton and he landed that same race yet again 23 days ago; should give it another good shot. |

18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
James Doyle is 5-5 on him, three of those successes coming in this race (2023, 2024 and 2025); he's 2lb lower than last year but weakened into last place when back in a handicap over track and trip ten weeks ago. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Listed winner at Deauville (7f, AW) last November and defied lofty mark in Kempton handicap (7f, AW) in March; also effective on turf and was second of six in a good conditions race at Thirsk last month; however, this 6yo needs to be better than ever if he's to take this. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Won the Group 2 Mill Reef on heavy as a juvenile but missed all of his 3yo campaign and has yet to convince that he's the same force this season, latterly finishing well behind in the International here; however, there's always a chance the first-time visor might trigger something and he'll go on the ground; wouldn't put a line through him. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Useful 2yo over 6f in 2023, winning the Mill Reef on heavy ground; missed last season but has shown signs of retaining ability, including over 7f, this year; switches to a handicap for the first time and could go well, albeit needs a career-best performance to defy his mark. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to build on a decent fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) in February when behind Blue Rc at Newcastle (1m) on Good Friday but the fact he made all in this race off 8lb lower last year means a revival can't be discounted, particularly as he's well drawn to attack again; tongue-tied first time. |
13/2 |

8th 9 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Quiet in Dubai in January but he returned to Britain with a good fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) five weeks ago; now 6lb lower than when winning the Thirsk Hunt Cup last May and he has the ability to feature. |
25/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Often front runs; below par in three outings at Meydan last month (including dirt) but well treated if a return to Britain sparks a revival having landed last year's Thirsk Hunt Cup off 6lb higher; Tapeta winner at the start of his career. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Nosed ahead in the final strides at York (7f) last time, ending a two-year losing spell and showing he retains plenty of ability aged eight; back up just 2lb he remains well treated on historical data; won the Thirsk Hunt Cup over C&D in 2023; should remain competitive. |

1st 1 (13) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
High-class handicapper at 7f/1m; winless since landing a valuable 7f handicap at Ascot in July 2024 but he is now 7lb lower and he retains plenty of ability; should be sharper with last month's reappearance behind him; bold bid expected as he attempts to win this race for a second time. |
10/1 |

5th 1 (10) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
High-class handicapper at 7f/1m; winless since landing a valuable 7f handicap at Ascot in July 2024 but he is now 6lb lower and three runs in Bahrain this winter suggested he retained a chunk of ability; back from four months off and this is perhaps not the day to catch him. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Bit of a legend down the years and his six wins here include two at Glorious Goodwood, namely a heavy-ground edition of this in 2023 and when bagging valuable Golden Mile (soft) last term; now 6lb lower but there's a reason for that and he could do with a downpour, which isn't forecast; has a good stall and Oisin Murphy retakes the reins, however, while that course record means he can never be overlooked. |
10/1 |

5th 2 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
A superstar down the years and he's quite well treated again now but all his handicap wins at 7f and 1m have been on downhill tracks on good to soft or slower ground; better days ahead once the rains come. |
