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. |

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. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Has improved for this visor and he's readily won competitive 7f handicaps here on his last two starts (good to soft/soft); back up to 1m on forecast better ground today but his past record provides hope that he'll cope with both and this thriving 4yo may well take a 6lb penalty in his stride. |
9/2 |

1st 4 (9) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Third in a Britannia on first run at Ascot and came through to beat a few of these on last month's return over this trip on good to soft, reversing previous Goodwood placings with Great Acclaim; raised 8lb but now 2-3 since the visor went on and still improving by the looks. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Having dropped 1lb below his last winning mark he returned to form when third of 13 over C&D a fortnight ago (good to firm; Final Night second); he can be in the mix back up 1lb if backing up that latest performance. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Fine stable servant with 11 wins to his name, although recent efforts have been underwhelming; only seventh of ten at the Craven meeting here and he needs to be revived by the presence of Ryan Moore in the saddle. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time AW scorer who is only 1-19 on turf; admittedly faced a stiffer task in Class 2 event returned to grass last time and this looks more suitable; mark is workable. |
14/1 |
|
11th 14 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
1-18 on turf but his only two appearances at this track saw him take third in the Spring Cup and this race in 2024; operating a bit below that level since last August, which, despite some AW success, has to put him down the pecking order in such a hot race. |

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 |

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. |
50/1 |
|
2 (3) |
26th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Well handicapped on his best form last year, but losing run is up to 17 and he was always in rear in a Class 2 handicap at Newmarket (1m1f, good) 23 days ago; others preferred. |
