28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has a very healthy 5-15 strike-rate, the latest win coming at Ripon (5f, good) in April; merely mid-division behind Habooba over this C&D four weeks ago but has had wind surgery since and is not discounted. |

31st May 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Form has taken off since dropped to sprinting, winning twice last summer and getting off the mark for 2025 with a good win at Ripon five weeks ago, strong at the finish despite looking ill at ease on the track; up 5lb but doubt he's reached his ceiling and Ryan Moore is an eyecatching booking. |

15th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Ended last season with a whimper but he enjoyed a fine June, running away with a Musselburgh handicap before beating 27 rivals in the Palace Of Holyrood House at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); encouraging return to action at Ripon last month when not looking in love with the track; more required to take this having been nudged up 2lb but he ran well at this meeting last season and Royal Ascot was his only other run over 5f on fast ground. |

27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won this race in 2023 off a 3lb lower mark; yet to strike in 2025 but he's looked as good as ever, catching the eye in a hot 5f handicap at York's Dante meeting and running well when fifth in the Dash at Epsom three weeks ago; dropped 2lb since the last run and he's a major player. |
9/2 |

8 (2) |
7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
The winner of nine races, seeming particularly well suited by an easy 5f on slow ground; he has looked to be running himself into top form this year, travelling better than anything when sixth of 17 at York's Dante meeting (5f, good to firm); not at his best in this race in 2023 but fast ground wouldn't have been ideal; every drop of rain to fall will be in his favour and his rider's claim is a bonus; should be arriving on the scene late. |
12/1 |
|
6 (11) |
15th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Best effort this season when third of seven at Ripon 19 days ago (Pilgrim second), keeping on well in the closing stages; has won over 5f on good to firm ground but he's particularly effective on slower going and there's a strong suspicion he'll get taken off his feet early. |

4th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race in 2022 and again last year off a 5lb higher mark (two of these rivals behind); better drawn than tonight on each occasion and hasn't been at his best of late but the return here will obviously help; one to consider. |
4/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Ran well when second at Newcastle on his seasonal return (5f, AW) but he hasn't built on it since; this is easier than his latest York assignment but others are preferred for win purposes. |

15th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Three solid efforts in defeat this year and he's on his last winning mark; surprising if a few weren't better treated today though. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has been to Epsom only once before and that resulted in a gutsy front-running success in this race in 2022; as good as ever last year, notably when winning a four-runner conditions event at Beverley; the handicapper took a dim view of that win and he's struggled since but he is more realistically weighted again now; has form on good to soft but peak efforts on good or quicker. |
16/1 |

15th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
High in the weights after a productive 2024 campaign, having been hit hard for a conditions race win at Beverley (5f, good) in September; two runs this year suggest he'll be vulnerable in a race like this (fifth off a 1lb lower mark last year when in better form). |

2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Not found his best form so far this year but he's dropped 8lb and he was second in the corresponding race 12 months ago (good to soft); steps back up to 6f and he's worth a market check. |

15th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |

Acts on slow ground; below best this term but has become favourably handicapped, being 2lb below last winning mark; scored over C&D last June and could revive. |
