15th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Ran well given how hard he pulled at Newmarket on his seasonal return last month but he took a backward step at Goodwood two weeks ago; finished behind Shagraan on that occasion, as he had a couple of times last year; others are more appealing. |

2nd May 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Ran well when third behind Shagraan in the big 3yo sprint handicap at Glorious Goodwood and went on to win over 6f at Windsor two weeks later; pulled his rider's arms out for the first furlong of his Newmarket reappearance two weeks ago and did well to finish second given those early exertions; should remain competitive and drying ground would suit. |

17th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Stays 6f on the AW but 5f looked to be his trip when he travelled strongly and found plenty to lead inside the final furlong at Goodwood (good; second-time cheekpieces); back up 2lb and should still be well treated but others still preferred over the extra furlong. |

2nd May 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
His mark is easing but only gradually and the evidence of his latest Newmarket seventh (first-time cheekpieces, retained; Toca Madera second) suggests he needs more weight off his back; first Goodwood appearance. |

17th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ex-John Ryan; both wins over 6f on AW; has struggled at the weights since taking a hit for an excellent Group 3 run at Ascot (good) in 2023 but he was back in form when runner-up in a good 6f race at Doncaster (soft) in October; back up 3lb but he's well worth a go at 5f; Ryan Moore is a rare booking now for new yard that won this in 2021. |

8st 11lb |
Down the field in 6f fast-ground handicaps the last twice; however, he's now 5lb lower than when a good third at Epsom (7f, good to soft) in May and perhaps the return to a slow surface will trigger a revival. |

17th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Creditable reappearance on AW last week and likely to be straighter today; has done all his winning at Doncaster (5f) but he does have form elsewhere and in his favour that the ground has dried out again. |

6th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |

String of good runs last year, winning twice at Doncaster and running a cracker over C&D last August; unsuited by soft ground when last seen (officially good but changed after the race was run); ran well on last season's reappearance despite slower ground than ideal; stable in form and he's a leading contender. |

12th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Productive sort who won at Newmarket (5f, good) most recently, taking record under Oisin Murphy to 2-3 and strike-rate to 10-34; effective over 6f and warrants respect even though he's climbing the weights. |

Has improved on AW since chasing Toca Madera home at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in August and best form yet when returned to 5f at Chelmsford in November; comes back into it now the surface is more in his favour. |

8st 8lb |
Ended 2024 on a high, with wins at Nottingham (5f, soft) before taking advantage of his lower AW mark at Chelmsford, but he'd be breaking new ground if he was in peak form for his reappearance. |

9st 2lb |
7lb lower than when winning the corresponding race 12 months ago (good to soft); came into last year's race off the back of a good run at the Craven meeting and it is the same this time round as he wasn't beaten far into fourth at Newmarket 13 days ago; more appealing than many. |

Best of three runs in this race when a close third in 2024 and later beat Fair Wind (has improved since) and Brave Nation at Ascot (5f, good to soft); went off the rails later in the year but he's 6lb lower than last spring so could be ripe for a revival; yard also runs The X O. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Flourished over 6f on AW for former trainer when blinkers were first fitted, beating Northcliff in cosy fashion at Newcastle in January; not so effective over 5f at Newmarket on yard debut in April and although the return to 6f will suit he looks on a highish mark now. |

In good form at 6f on AW since blinkers fitted, winning at Newcastle in January, but needs to improve for the drop to 5f as he's at least 4lb higher than for three turf handicap defeats; new trainer. |
