1st 11 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Off 11 months after tailing off in a Group 2 at this meeting last year; shaped promisingly on handicap debut over C&D on return and firmly in charge through the final 2f at Carlisle (1m3f, again good to firm) three weeks later; trying to avoid trouble in running from stall 1 looks a headache today but zero shock if the 8lb rise underestimates him. |

1st 6 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; good fourth in Listed race at Goodwood last spring; gelded and off 11 months, shaped promisingly when third of 14 on handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, doing his best work late on; nudged up 1lb but still looks seriously unexposed; strong claims. |

3rd 4 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Edged out St Leger runner-up Rahiebb in Haydock novice (11.6f, good) last spring; badly hampered when well-held fourth to Amiloc in a Listed race at Goodwood (1m3f) next time and not too hard to forgive a heavy defeat behind that same rival in the King Edward VII over C&D at the Royal meeting (good to firm); off since (gelded); a very interesting handicap newcomer, particularly if the betting speaks in his favour. |

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. |
4/1 |
|
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. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; four placings from his six starts, including over this sort of trip in two novice events in April and a five-runner AW handicap on latest outing; wore cheekpieces in the latter and they are retained; he needs to find a bit extra. |
9/2 |
|
5 (2) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
His three placings from five starts include one over C&D; handicap debut at Doncaster five weeks ago came in a hot race and over 14.5f, which he may not have stayed, a creditable effort nevertheless but he surely needs better to win this; cheekpieces are enlisted. |
7/1 |
|
4 (6) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up twice in a row on AW (1m3f/1m4f) before 1l third in Haydock novice (11.6f, good) in April; unexposed but he needs to find some improvement now up in trip in a warm race on his handicap debut. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Lightly raced son of Sea The Moon who comfortably made all in 1m3f novice at Kempton in January; he looks to have a fair bit more to offer and rates a big player now stepping into handicap company for his in-form yard. |
6/5 |

1st 4 (7) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Less than 2l behind Siouxfonic when fourth of nine at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in November and within a neck of him at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month; good chance of reversing the form with penalised rival. |

26th Apr 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
in touch with leaders, lost ground and towards rear after 3f, outpaced from over 2f out, rallied over 1f out, no chance with winner but kept on inside final furlong |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Record is 2-10; gelded prior to success at Thirsk and respectable effort at York this term, both over 1m4f; still on career-high mark but ran well in sole 1m6f attempt and may be capable of another good run. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ran poorly on final start last term but gelded soon afterwards and, with visor/blinkers dispensed with, he returned with a narrow win in 12-runner race at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month, gradually working his way to the front in final strides under 7lb claimer Kyle McHugh; 4lb higher today but could have more to offer in what's only his second campaign. |
8/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Got off the mark at Newmarket (1m4f) last April and in good form in handicaps after until coming in last of 12 back at Newmarket (1m4f) in October; since gelded and goes without usual headgear on his return. |

11th 8 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Often a front-runner; 3-7 on AW but he's 0-4 on turf and latest third to Elsass at Hamilton (1m3f, good) was no more than respectable; untested on good to soft or worse but his pedigree may given some encouragement, as his dam is closely related to outstanding performer Enable whose 15 wins included the 2017 Oaks over C&D and four of her Group 1 wins were on softer than good. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Often a front-runner; won at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in October and December and at Meydan (1m3f, dirt) in January; merely mid-division back in Britain at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) six weeks ago, but that was a hot race; turf form (first three starts) is nowhere near his handicap mark. |
