27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive 4yo who impressed in big-field handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) and was a close third of 15 at York (1m2f, good to firm) subsequently; his surplus stamina may be no bad thing in what is likely to be a strongly run race and he's respected for his top stable. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Carries his head high but his profile has been progressive since cheekpieces have gone on and he produced a smart handicap performance when comfortably accounting for his 17 rivals over this trip at Glorious Goodwood (good) 25 days ago; his two other wins came on good to firm; an 8lb rise demands further improvement but no surprise were he to find it. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Both wins on good to firm at Windsor; carries his head high but recorded two seconds and a win over 1m3f, 1m2f and an extended 1m3f from his three starts since the cheekpieces went on this term, putting him on an upward curve. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
He's had a long career but never been better than this season, winning on AW at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m4f); they were in March/April but he returned from a break with creditable third of six here (1m2f, good to firm) 15 days ago, again under Olivia Tubb; probably not far away. |

3rd 3 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
He's had a long career but never been better than this season, winning at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m4f) with a close third in between; they were all on AW in March/April under Olivia Tubb and he's not raced since, with turf runs in the last two years hinting that he's not quite so good in this sphere; also, the last time he raced on firmer than good was 2022. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with success at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March and backed it up with a good third of 12 in another 9.5f handicap there since; this C&D scorer can go well again off the same mark. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 55y |
9st 13lb |
Four wins in Britain at up to an extended 1m3f; should stay okay and her fairly encouraging fifth on yard debut at Galway (1m4f, soft) was after a long absence; possibilities. |
11/2 |

5th 2 (14) |
8th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Four wins in Britain, none over quite as far as this; should stay; probably worth a market check on her first start for Gavin Cromwell after almost a year on the sidelines. |
12/1 |

8th 2 (8) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple turf winner at up to 11.5f; less effective on AW surfaces but her best such effort was when last tried at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in May; if able to repeat that form she would have claims from this 5lb lower mark but she's not easy to predict. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood in June and followed up in the Ladies' Derby over C&D (good to firm); however, he seems to have gone off the boil on his three runs since; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
New cheekpieces when he went back-to-back over 1m4f at Goodwood and Epsom but his form has dipped; effect of the headgear might be wearing thin. |
10/1 |

5th 9 (12) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
2-4 for new stable, winning at Goodwood (1m4f, good; cheekpieces first time) before getting the better Epictetus over C&D last month; came unstuck at York in his hat-trick bid and this looks a competitive race in which to get back on track. |

3rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won on AW at Dundalk in 2018 and 2019; beaten about 30l in two starts over hurdles for this yard in 2022 and finished last of five back on the Flat at Kempton (1m3f) on his first start for over three years; drops in grade but needs to take a big step forward from that reappearance. |

15th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Beaten about 30l in two hurdle races for this yard in 2022; fairly useful sort in Ireland on the Flat in 2019 and 2020, however, including on AW at up to 1m4f; not seen for over three years but the handicapper's factored that in and market support should be heeded. |
