16th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Usually races prominently; a mostly solid 2025 included 1m2f Listed wins in May and November; 2026 started in downbeat fashion (similar to last year) in Listed race and his top three ratings have been registered on softer than good; this is also a new trip (unraced beyond an extended 1m2f) but he's bred to get it and has a chance on best form; ground the chief worry. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Won the Cambridgeshire here (1m1f, soft) last autumn; also scored in a Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, good) this May and respectable 2l fourth of six to Damysus in 1m1f course Group 3 (good to firm) three weeks ago; unlikely to be far away despite his 3lb penalty. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Creditable second in Group 3 contest at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f) last time but this is a better race for the grade; inconsistent otherwise this term; returns to AW for first time since debut win. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Well below form in his sole run on softer than good (on soft in France last September); last year's best shows were at 1m3f-1m6f but he delivered a big career best this May when close second in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race; two backward steps over 1m2f since see him back up in trip today; form chance relies on that one performance three starts back, so others look more solid. |
4/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |

Well below form on his sole run on softer than good; last year's best shows were at 1m3f-1m6f but a big career best this May when close second in 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood; held up and never got into it in 16-runner Listed event at Royal Ascot next time; chance relies on that one Goodwood run. |

9st 10lb |
Very smart performer who has seen a lot of the world; Group 3 scorer in Britain and Group/Grade 2 winner in UAE/USA; beaten favourite in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket most recently but wasn't disgraced on form; major contender back down in class, even with 7lb penalty. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Handicap debutant who is unlikely to defy top weight judged on 2025 efforts; however, very useful on his day and he's is on a handy mark based on the pick of his Listed/Group form. |
8/1 |

6th 7 (8) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Ran respectably in Listed race here (1m2f, good; more to prove on softer) on penultimate start, a race won by Liberty Lane; made it 0-10 since debut win when last of six in Listed race at Sandown four weeks ago, which he needs to bounce back from; others appear to have the edge. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Edged out by Bolster in this race on soft ground 12 months ago; below that level in three outings this year, although he might have needed it after a break when behind Bolster and Okeechobee at Goodwood latest; first-time cheekpieces go on. |

Below par in last three appearances, latest over C&D four months ago; progressive previously and ties in closely with Bolster on Newmarket Listed running (1m2f, soft) last November; possibilities if back to that form. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Scored twice in Qatar for these connections; question mark about ground softer than good, despite the official going at Goodwood last time when he was second in a strong conditions stakes; in good form in Britain on last three outings now but that does not mean he looks well handicapped. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 9 (5) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Below form two years ago on sole start on softer than good (soft); scored twice (1m2f/11.5f) in Qatar for these connections; looked in top form in the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m; eighth) and Listed race at Sandown (1m2f; third of six) on last two outings but a fair bit extra is needed to win this. |
25/1 |

4th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |

Has scored twice in Qatar for current connections; came up short in Listed grade returned to British soil but ran creditably in the Royal Hunt Cup since; difficult task at the weights returned to this level. |

23rd May 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Lightly raced 5yo; good second in Group 3 at Royal Ascot in 2023, then was absent until filling same position in AW Listed contest at Kempton (again over 1m2f; debut for new yard) last month; 0-5 since debut success but his form is largely progressive; possibilities. |

Absent since running very well in 1m2f Group 3 at Royal Ascot in 2023 (final start for Roger Varian); gelded later that year and sold for 18,000gns last October; betting may prove instructive. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Good C&D record includes a win in this last year off 5lb higher; back on form when narrowly denied at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) and things went wrong from the start (stumbled) when well behind Westridge at Goodwood since; could bounce back. |
18/1 |
|
6 (16) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has a mixed 1-6 record at Goodwood, with the win in 2019, but he won a 17-runner race at the York Ebor meeting last August and went down by a neck at Sandown this month, both over 1m2f on good to firm but the ground was not an issue previously; now a 9yo but 4lb lower than for that York win; drawn wide but likely to be delivered late anyway. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Resilient 9yo who can still give it plenty in competitive handicaps, as when beating 16 rivals at York (about 1m2f, good to firm; off 5lb higher) last August; however, he has less obvious claims on subsequent handicap runs, including back at York in June. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
His form deteriorated last year and he went 0-9; however, he's dropped down the weights and could improve for his recent comeback in a Listed race at Kempton (fourth); this C&D winner is not ruled out. |
15/2 |

4th 5 (1) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Useful handicapper on his day including on AW, but unplaced in all nine starts since reappearing a year ago and would be receiving weight from all his rivals in a handicap. |
