23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Formerly trained in France/Qatar; mixed results in three runs in Britain this season but he dominated a C&D handicap (good to firm) in May and was a respectable fifth of 18 at Glorious Goodwood last time; hasn't been far off his best in those two runs but this is much tougher in this Group 3 and he's bottom of the pack on the figures. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Formerly trained in France/Qatar; won comfortably from the front in six-runner race at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm; 7lb higher today) in May on British debut; failed to cope with 1m in the Royal Hunt Cup next time but presumably of much more interest back at 1m2f. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Formerly trained in France/Qatar; won comfortably from the front at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) on British debut; 2lb well in under a penalty but this is a much deeper contest and the drop to 1m is an unknown. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Dual winner last spring (including over C&D) and comes here in good nick after a spell in Meydan; he's not discounted. |
8/1 |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Ran in snatches and reportedly hung right when well beaten at Haydock latest; something to prove after that but progressive previously, winning twice in the spring (1m2f, good), and could bounce back with a big run. |
7/1 |

14th 6 (10) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won four in a row last summer and kicked off this campaign with another two wins (1m2f, good); no match for well-treated winner at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) since but the time looks right for him to have a first crack at 1m4f and he could play a leading role. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner for Marco Botti in Britain; purchased for 89,000gns in August; brings a Flat rating of 89 for his hurdling/stable debut; should be suited by this better ground and of obvious interest given trainer/rider combination. |
5/2 |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Improved form after a gelding operation when going close at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) and Doncaster (1m2f, good) in March; respectable third of six at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; enters calculations under Rodriguez. |
14/1 |

3rd 3 (5) |
26th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Gelded in November and improved form when going close at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) and Doncaster (1m2f, good) in his first two runs this season; finished last of six at Epsom last time but he got involved in some scrimmaging and is a big player if he can bounce back near best. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
His last win was two years ago but he's on a dangerous mark and was a good second in amateur jockeys' handicap at Haydock (1m6f, good) 17 days ago; should be fine on this drop back in trip and has claims if he can build on that last run. |
4/1 |
|
5 (6) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
His mark continues to fall and he didn't run badly at Windsor (1m2f) in May when back from an absence; however, he's failed to threaten on his three starts since (1m2f-1m6f) and needs to turn things around. |
14/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
24th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
All five wins from 1m4f to 1m6f; outpaced when fourth of six on reappearance at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May and he couldn't get in a blow over 1m4f last time; will likely need a pace meltdown; first ride under rules for James Hills. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Encouraging start for new stable culminated in Windsor success in April; has failed to back up that form in two starts since, last of three runners latest; rebound required. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Low-key effort at Windsor four weeks ago but she'd begun her life with this yard with three good efforts, notably a 1m2f Windsor success on fast turf; considered. |
11/2 |
|
5th 10 (11) |
26th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has shown steadily progressive form (421) this term for new yard, gaining a narrow win over C&D (good to firm) most recently; however, she's been campaigned largely in lower grades and now goes into deeper waters; got upset in stalls and was withdrawn at Newbury ten days ago. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
0-10 in handicaps; twice third over 1m4f at Ascot this year but last two efforts have been below par; dropped another 3lb but it's not enough to tempt. |
9/1 |
|

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
0-9 in handicaps; best form when second in the closing 1m2f race on this card last year; some respectable shows over 1m4f too, including with first-time blinkers (kept since) on penultimate start; last of ten back at Ascot last Saturday, admittedly in a Shergar Cup race and not beaten far but others have more pressing claims. |
9/1 |
|
10 (3) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
0-8 in handicaps; easily his best 2025 efforts were two thirds over C&D on good to firm, including when on the heels of Night Breeze on latest start, wearing first-time blinkers, but he needs to find extra. |
