20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Never figured at Royal Ascot then looked a non-stayer over 1m6f in the Ebor; returns to calmer waters and drops back in trip, so may tap back into earlier progress (AW/turf) that produced form figures of 1211. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made debut at the end of 2024; won three of his first four starts, on last occasion a 12-runner handicap here (1m4f, good to firm) in May when he led over 2f out and narrowly saw off Stressfree; had been racing freely and prominently, so the widest draw at Royal Ascot (1m4f; just 7-1) posed a challenge but he didn't really fire behind Ethical Diamond; he was shaping up to be a serious talent before that and has now been gelded. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Not seen on a racecourse until the end of 2024 but he's now won three of his four starts; first three races were tight finishes on AW when trained by Charlie Fellowes; debut for this yard came in 12-runner handicap at York (1m4f, good to firm) five weeks ago when he narrowly saw off the challenge of Stressfree; up another 5lb today and has joined Wathnan Racing for their big meeting; has been racing freely and prominently, so perhaps the widest draw today will pose a challenge, but he's shaping up to be a serious talent. |

9st 12lb |
Not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, and never involved when 7-1 for last year's 1m4f Duke of Edinburgh at this meeting; however, it would be unwise not to recall his fourth in the Ebor at York last August (1m6f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark and he was unsuited by the steady pace at York last time out (1m4f); could get competitive should this pan out favourably; stable won this in 2022. |

Beaten a head in this race last year and fourth of 22 here in the Ebor in August; began 2026 with another solid effort, when second at Ripon; not a prolific winner with his waiting tactics but big each-way chance. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
10lb higher than when winning this race at its usual home Haydock (good) last July in great style; that was his final race last season but he put up a bold show when third to Klassleader at York this May; non-runner at Royal Ascot where the good to firm ground was deemed unsuitable (third of 12 on it at York last May); big shout if today's ground is okay. |

Third in this race last year off 11lb lower; competitive almost every time last season, ending on a major high with 4l win at Haydock (1m4f, good) in July; however, there have been a couple of blips and last month's poor show in Listed race at Kempton was one of those; needs to bounce back. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Six-time winner on the Flat over shorter trips than this (1m1f-1m4f), including at this track in 2023; beaten about 5l when fifth of seven in a Group 3 over this C&D in May (behind Lazy Griff and ahead of Furthur and Duke Of Oxford) but that was steadily run and he didn't fully prove his stamina; stable won this with Trueshan in 2024 but this 7yo has a bit to find to reverse placings with Lazy Griff. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |

7yo who has a good record here and has been better than ever in AW handicaps this year, and he wasn't beaten far when fifth of six in Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; however, his form needs to go to a new level and he's unraced beyond 1m4f on the Flat. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
In the form of his life this winter with a win at Lingfield (1m4f) in February and close calls in his other three outings; those were on AW, which does seem to suit him particularly well, and also in handicaps, which leaves him with something to find in his first Group venture. |

Gained a fourth Flat win with a hard-earned success in the 1m6f Old Borough Cup at Haydock last September; stamped himself as a useful recruit to hurdling when scoring at Cork last month. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Looked one to follow when impressive on handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, soft) last September; failed to kick on from that initially but got back on track with convincing win in small field at Ripon (1m4f, soft) in July; could have more to offer for top yard now things have clicked again, especially now back up in trip, and he's not necessarily a soft-ground specialist. |
4/1 |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Looked potentially smart when smooth winner on 1m4f Ascot handicap debut (soft) last September in first-time cheekpieces; hasn't progressed as might have been expected in three subsequent runs (favourite each time) but not disgraced either and may have found good to firm ground too lively (raced on softer than good otherwise) when fifth of 12 in a York Dante meeting handicap on reappearance (no headgear); still has time on his side and a potential class act giving weight away to lesser opposition in refitted cheekpieces. |

9st 3lb |
Won a 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood (good to soft) last September; built on reappearance fifth to Jonquil and Holloway Boy in a Listed race over the straight 1m here when narrowly denied a second 1m2f Goodwood Listed success seven weeks ago; more needed at this level and his peak RPRs have been achieved over longer trips. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Performed well twice over C&D last term but had the run of the race when belying his 33-1 odds for neck success at Listed level in September (good to soft) and looks no certainty to defy a 3lb penalty back here, unless things again fall his way. |
12/1 |

5th 3 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Has raced as far as 2m1f in 2024 and never shorter than 1m2f; third at last year's Royal Ascot came over 1m4f but he broke a losing sequence when diverted from top handicaps to a 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood last September; the prospect of 1m now doesn't seem so ridiculous but a career best is needed. |

9st 12lb |
His 19 course starts have yielded five places and a win over 1m4f back in 2023 but he hasn't been at his best on turf here the last twice; back on a good mark but need to see more. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
18 starts here have yielded five places and a win over 1m4f back in 2023, although he wasn't at his best when beating one home in this race last year; in fair form over this trip on AW in the spring but his return to turf, when beaten 8l over 1m4f here one month ago, will need improving on. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |

C&D winner in 2023; no joy anywhere last season (mostly at this track) but the closest he came was a neck defeat here (1m2f; 4lb higher today) on final start; not far away on AW last three starts this year and the same may be possible on today's return to turf. |

11st 12lb |
Refused to race on the Flat last month and again looked unenthusiastic on recent handicap hurdle debut here (2m1f, good), albeit he eventually made headway into sixth (behind Warfleet); remains a risky option. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Largely disappointing for this stable under both codes and, after a brief respite on the Flat at Newbury in April, he refused to come out of the stalls at York last month, both times in this headgear; best hurdle effort when runner-up at Newcastle (2m1f, good) in October offers some hope on handicap switch, but current form is a clear concern. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Formerly useful for Kevin Ryan but was sold last July and has been comfortably held since on the Flat and over hurdles; this tongue-tie (tried once in 2023) returned on latest outing, along with first-time hood; 17lb below his peak mark, but no win since he scored twice at York in 2023. |

9st 6lb |
Dual Kempton winner in 2023 and he's very well handicapped judged on form as recent as one year ago; Bahrain last winter did not go well for new connections, however, and although there was a whiff of his old form when seventh of 13 over C&D on his British return in May, he tailed off at Epsom ten days later; soft ground might excuse that but there are questions to answer. |

Locally trained runner who offered something to work on when seventh of 13 at Kempton (1m4f, AW) on his British return ten days ago; also has form on good to soft but latest effort still leaves him with work to do and he finished tailed off in the 2023 running of this. |

Triple Group 3 winner at 1m (good and soft) on the continent in 2022 and 2023; mixed over the last 12 months, with a much closer finish again last time but that was when finishing just seventh of eight; well handicapped judged on Meydan placed efforts at 1m1f and 1m4f early this year. |

Front-runner who has been keeping busy, winning at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last month and going close on two of his three starts since, most recently beaten half a length at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); has won here and is capable of another bold bid. |

Usually front-runs; never better than with his first and second at the end of last month, which were on AW however and his top four RPRs have now been registered in that sphere; something to find on turf, including as he was third here (1m6f, good to firm) earlier in July but is now 7lb higher and he dropped out at Chepstow on Thursday. |
