21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
High-class sprinter on turf and AW; his two C&D wins have both been mighty performances and there is no doubt he has the raw ability to give the weight away to today's opponents; sadly he has become a nightmare at the start, refusing to race in three of his last five runs; can't be supported with confidence; stable run four here. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
High-class sprinter on his day and he has tasted defeat in just one of his four runs on AW; fine effort to beat Marshman in a Listed race here in February and third in a Newmarket Group 3 next time; no doubt he has the ability to win a race of this nature but he is increasingly troublesome at the start and he has refused to race twice this summer; capable but too much risk attached to recommend. |

Free-going front-runner; no longer the force of old but ran big race when fourth of 23 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last week; 1lb lower here and could be hard to catch if in similar form again. |

9st 7lb |
All five wins over sprint trips, the latest at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; three lesser runs since and remains 2lb above that winning mark; started his career over 7f (runner-up second start) but has raced almost exclusively over shorter since. |
33/1 |

10th 6 (5) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a more favourable mark when winning over this C&D (good to firm) in June, a first win in Britain for over two years; perhaps downhill tracks weren't so helpful in two runs since, at 6f and 5f, but he still has something to find in this company. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Group 3 win at Dundalk last October was one of four victories for the year; has struggled this season but his mark has plummeted as a result and he was better than the result when attracting market support at Lingfield (5f, AW) latest, running on late from too far back; it'll be interesting to see whether his backers return. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |

Group 3 win at Dundalk (only run to date on Polytrack) last October was one of four victories for the year; struggled this season, often being inclined to hang right, and followers will largely be pinning their hopes on the surface switch doing the trick. |

3rd 8 (6) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Dual course winner who isn't too fussy about the ground; had a quiet spell for last trainer but has taken advantage of a handy mark for new yard this year, winning twice over 5f, and he looked to be still in form at Windsor (6f) 19 days ago; shouldn't be far away. |
8/1 |

Multiple wins include two over 5f for new yard this year, the first under Myla Coppins and the second on this track; did win once over 6f back in 2022 but it's a long time since he played a part over this trip. |

9th 6 (6) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
A winner first time out three times in previous seasons but he's getting on now and has been absent for a year; has a bit to overcome then, especially as he looked on the downgrade last season and has only run twice on the AW. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Capable 5f performer on his day but has not made the frame in six runs this year; a slow start meant he couldn't adopt his usual front-running tactics at York five weeks ago, and his mark is tumbling, but he's risky. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Has an excellent record in this race, with a second in 2022 and wins in 2023 and 2024 (all on soft/heavy); only fifth to Lexington Blitz on good 12 months ago but his second (Lexington Blitz third) in the Epsom Dash (good to soft) shows he's still useful, and he can be made to look well treated on that form even from 3lb out of the handicap; any easing of the ground in his favour. |
9/1 |
|
7th 9 (1) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Won this race in 2024 when rated 8lb higher; well handicapped on even this year's best, 3lb lower than when second in the Dash at Epsom (5f, good to soft); stall 1 not ideal for one that comes from off the pace and he will need luck in running; big chance if the gaps appear though. |
5/1 |

6th 10 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

All ten wins at 5f; last scored just over a year ago on good to firm but he's got plenty of form on a softer surface and ran well when runner-up in Epsom's "Dash" in June; also performed with credit at Glorious Goodwood and could be the type to bounce back from a lesser effort at Pontefract a fortnight ago; having just his second outing here since winning a C&D novice back in 2021. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Last summer's Ascot win (5f) not quite a distant memory but there has been little to cheer since, with poor starts (and a refusal to race) becoming a feature; can't be supported with confidence. |
10/1 |

5th 6 (1) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Looked a sprinter with a big future when winning a well-contested 5f handicap at Ascot last summer but he refused to race at Goodwood 17 days later and he's been well beaten in three runs this year, starting slowly at both Epsom and Ascot on his last two outings; this is his first start at 6f and given he has been headstrong, it isn't sure to suit; not short of ability but the risks are obvious. |
20/1 |

16th 7 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Up-and-coming sprinter in 2024, best form when beating a high-class rival over C&D (good; handles good to soft) last July; however, he refused to race later that month and hasn't been sighted in two runs this year; too talented to ignore but he's back from another break today. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |

No win since August 2024; ran well for minor honours on his first three (of four) visits to Doncaster, a close third in this race last year; 8lb lower today but he's not been disgraced this year (repeatedly short of room last time) and makes each-way appeal. |

Losing run continued when fifth of 11 over C&D (heavy; favourite) yesterday, beaten just under 2l; however, one of two handicap wins came over C&D (good; acts well on soft) and he has finished second and third in the last two runnings. |

Only fifth of nine over C&D (soft) last month but went off too hard in first-time cheekpieces (retained); completed a hat-trick on soft/heavy ground last autumn and he was also on the scoresheet at Sandown (5f, good) this June; all those wins came under Grace McEntee who is back on board today. |
