27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Found a jolt of improvement last summer, winning handicaps at Kempton (7f) and Southwell (1m) before a good third here (1m) in his hat-trick bid 310 days ago; absent since but he should have more to offer after just eight starts; betting instructive. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 3-4 on the AW when coming from off the pace to collect at Southwell (1m); was aided by a collapsing pace but he looks progressive; just 3lb higher. |

13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Took his AW record (all over 7f) to 311 with Kempton win last time and that form has worked out well; likely to be as effective back at 1m and show further progress in this sphere; major contender. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Below par in the Newbury contest won by Classic last time but that was out of character for him; otherwise a solid and steadily progressive colt whose form this spring includes good efforts in AW finals event and the Thirsk Hunt Cup; whether he can defy current mark is another matter. |
33/1 |

9th 6 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has improved his rating almost every time, on last two outings taking second in strong 1m handicaps at Newcastle (AW) and Thirsk (good to firm); came from almost last when closing to half a length in 13-runner race last time and looks well capable of a prominent finish here despite 2lb rise. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (11) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |

7f course winner on good to firm last summer and has done little but progress since, winning over 1m at Southwell on New Year's Day; excellent second of 14 at Newcastle (1m again) since, with reopposing Flight Plan and Apiarist in behind; should continue the good work back on turf; top of the list. |

Looked good when winning over C&D in June; struggled in a hot race at Newmarket the following month but only fifth at Newcastle last time and others may have his measure in this field. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Looked good when winning at Southwell on his handicap debut in February (6f); form then levelled off until he ran out the easy winner of a 6f handicap at Kempton in June (well backed); stiff task at Newmarket six weeks ago and the return to AW is in his favour. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Versatile sort who scored over 5f/6f (turf/AW) last term and ran well over 7f at Meydan in February; however, the assessor has not cut him much slack and he returned from a break with a laboured effort at Chester (first run since gelded) three weeks ago; down the list. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
2-11, with the latest of those wins coming over C&D in August off a 2lb lower mark than today; below his best over 7f next time but bounced back with a solid effort at Southwell (6f, AW); contender but his hold-up style means things need to drop right. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Hard to predict and a 6f win at Chelmsford in August was followed by a poor run over 7f here 11 days later; needs to bounce back but perhaps the return to this distance will help. |
9/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Had been struggling over 7f but he came from behind to win over 6f at Chelmsford (narrowly off 3lb lower) and could build on that; this trip is the query. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up on AW in his first three starts before beating two rivals in a Brighton maiden (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; this is much tougher on handicap debut but he's been generally progressive so far and is still unexposed; in the mix with cheekpieces added. |

8th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three starts at 7f on AW; sent off 15-8 for first two runs but best form when beaten just over 1l at Chelmsford (6-1) last month; that was the third time he's finished runner-up but he sets the standard on turf debut and two of his three winning siblings scored on good to firm ground. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Broadly progressive 4yo whose form in notable handicaps suggests he could develop into a Group horse; went close on reappearance in his bid for a York double, then finished a respectable sixth when favourite for the Wokingham at Royal Ascot; remains of major interest. |
7/2 |
|
6th 6 (22) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Respectable C&D form last September when third of 19 but he's been at his most impressive on flatter tracks so far, as when crushing his rivals at Ayr (good to soft) and York (good) as a 3yo; returned to action with a mighty effort on the latter track in May, when only just failing to reel in a well-treated front-runner; major chance if reproducing the form back here, despite going up 5lb since, as his star is still rising. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Promising 3yo last season and things clicked in a major way with a dominant win in a big-field C&D handicap (good) last October when last seen; he's entered in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot and this lightly raced sort is in excellent hands to continue to progress; strong contender. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Sprung a 50-1 surprise over C&D on debut (July 2024) and followed up at Wolverhampton that month; 0-11 in handicaps though and her best run this year came in a Class 6; others look stronger. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (8) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Won her first two as a 2yo and entered handicaps on an unrealistic mark; best efforts of late have come on Tapeta but she's won on Polytrack and has been offering more of late; capable at this level. |
