3rd 6 (1) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Well beaten at this meeting (Group 3) last year, ending his first season; free-going sort whose three best ratings were registered from the front, notably when he won a five-runner race at Windsor (1m, good to firm; has run creditably on good to soft) this May on handicap debut; drew clear again late on in that race, so staying this extra 1f is not out of the question and this lightly raced 4yo does not have much to find. |

26th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Made debut last May and won a Leicester maiden (7f, good) and Doncaster novice (7f, good; made all) on first two starts; wasn't beaten far in Newmarket Listed race (1m, good to soft) next time and he had tough task behind Lead Artist at Goodwood (Group 3) in final run last season; been gelded and now returns after 297 days off but he still has potential and needs a close look on handicap debut. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Form figures of 1311571 in a visor; a graduate from the handicap ranks and he didn't have all that much in hand when the 6-4 winner of a Group 3 in Ireland in June on latest start (7f, soft); looks up against it now he's dining at the top table, unless transformed by a wind operation. |

1st 4 (4) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
9st 9lb |
Rediscovered his best with a visor added last summer, landing three handicaps, including at Ascot (7f, soft) off a mark of 103; cracking return when beaten 0.5l by Dreamliner in Group 3 at Saint-Cloud in March on soft; didn't come on as expected when beaten 7.5l into seventh by Wannabe Royal in Listed race at Naas 25 days ago; nothing got into it from off the pace that day so shouldn't be judged too harshly; handles soft and the one to beat. |
7/4 |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
British raider rediscovered his best when a visor was added last June, winning three handicaps from five starts, the last being the valuable Challenge Cup (7f, soft) at Ascot; ran right up to form on his stakes debut in a Saint-Cloud Group 3 (1m, soft) for seasonal return when a close runner-up; entitled to improve for that and top rated. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks. |
12/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned mostly at the Newmarket tracks this term, winning in May and respectable third last time; has shown versatility in the past but looks weighted to the hilt off current mark and this step back up in class adds to the difficulty. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (10) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
6lb below his last winning mark and does have form on soft ground, but he finished behind four of these over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate start and a record of 1-24 on turf does pose a question. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Five of his six wins have come on AW, including C&D; last won at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in January; not so good on turf of late but he's dangerously handicapped if the switch back to AW prompts a revival. |
6/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Five of his six wins have been on the AW but consistent handicapper on all surfaces and ran well in a Class 3 at Doncaster latest (7f; fine at 1m); thereabouts. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Useful on his day but has become inconsistent, latterly at Meydan, notwithstanding a January performance that's his sole win for current yard; the 9yo can be opposed back on British soil; tongue-tie fitted. |
33/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Useful weights turnaround with Flying Frontier on C&D form last August and also with Arabian Light from Meydan (1m1f) in February; however, some question marks about his form since and whether he really wants a stiff test at 1m2f has yet to be proved. |
20/1 |
|
10 (23) |
18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 0-17 for current yard doesn't tell the whole story, as he's capable of very useful form; last few efforts don't augur well, however, and he came up short (finished 11th) in this race in 2024. |
