14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

All four wins have been on Newcastle AW but he's still lightly raced on turf; finished in mid-division in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f) last time but he was runner-up in a Class 3 there (1m, good to firm) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in the mix back up in trip. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Improved on last year's turf form when returned to the AW over the winter, but he went up the weights and his challenge never seriously materialised in the Victoria Cup over C&D (good to firm) in May, when a one-paced sixth of 17; dropped just 1lb and needs more for first-time cheekpieces; sold for £320,000 this week. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent sort who made it 1-20 on turf (that grass win came here in 2yo campaign) when well beaten at Royal Ascot last month; however, two starts ago he was a close sixth in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) when he was denied a clear run, and he's not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
18th 12 (18) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Eye-catcher, amid traffic issues, in the Thirsk Hunt Cup last time; form over C&D comprises a respectable eighth (off current mark) in this contest last year and creditable third (did well having been hampered) later in 2025; still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf, however. |
22/1 |
|
6th 4 (15) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |

Three fine efforts on AW to start the year but his run of good form came to a halt when well behind Blue Rc at Newcastle over Easter; acts on turf but has a much better strike-rate on AW; drawn widest. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Smart performer on AW, winning this race in 2024 and third 12 months ago; cheekpieces have given him a lift of late, winning a 7f handicap at Kempton ten days ago; still on a handy mark and he is sure to be popular. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Goes well fresh and should cope if it gets tactical given all three of his C&D wins were achieved in single-figure fields; pushing two years since he last got his head in front but the handicapper is giving him a chance and he responded well to first-time cheekpieces (retained here) when fifth over track and trip last time; of significant interest. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Consistent type who arrives on a high after coming from the rear to win convincingly off lower turf mark at Newmarket (7f) in July; 7lb higher here but he's just as effective at 1m and not ruled out. |

A seven-time AW winner, he scored his first turf win at Cork in April over 10.5f; didn't get the clearest run so it was a cracking effort over C&D last time behind Kalir; up 2lb and is one to consider. |
