9st 5lb |
Ran well on C&D return in 2025 before winning his next two over 6f, at Leicester (good to firm; made all) and York; his form took a downward turn after but his recent Newbury fourth was a step in the right direction and he's only 2lb higher than for the York win; looks good for a prominent show. |

Only seventh when favourite for this race last year; posted two successive career bests on AW in February and March but those efforts haven't been matched since, on the last three occasions in turf handicaps; drops in grade with cheekpieces added to his tongue-tie. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Smart handicapper who brings excellent stats, being 3-3 at Newmarket (on the other course, admittedly, but it bodes well) and 3-3 (much improved) this term for new yard; prevailed only narrowly in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently but seems on his way to becoming a Group performer; adds great interest. |

The talking horse in good 6f handicaps this spring and he delivered, coming clear with no fuss under Oisin Murphy at Newmarket (good) on yard debut and not having to work much harder under a penalty there (good to firm) in May for Shane Foley; 10lb higher than last time but could be on his way to better things. |

Promising for Charles Hills as a 3yo, winning a C&D handicap at the Craven meeting before a good third from a tricky draw at York; ended 2025 with a low-key run at Ascot but, having been switched to Andrew Balding's stable, he created a huge impression here 17 days ago, supported as though defeat was out of the question and winning accordingly; 8lb well in and looks a Group horse in waiting; obvious chance for the stable that won this prize in 2021 and 2024. |

Considerable promise during light career for Karl Burke and better than ever when getting up close home in small field on his stable/seasonal debut at Pontefract (6f, good); there can be optimism that he will be fine back up to 7f and on slower ground, and he could have more to offer; contender. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Goes well fresh and he scored on his seasonal/handicap debut last April; again ran well when close third off this mark on his comeback (also Ripon, 6f) this term; he didn't back it up when suffering a heavy defeat at York last time, albeit from a poor draw, but this represents a drop back in grade so he's not dismissed. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won his first three handicaps, all over 6f on good ground or quicker; couldn't complete the four-timer in a warm 3yo sprint at York in June, but he travelled well through that race and doubt he's handicapped out of things just yet; suitability of soft ground has to be taken on trust but he remains of interest for a top stable. |

7th 18 (15) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Modest form as a 2yo but he's taken off in handicaps this year, winning by a wide margin at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in April and following up at Haydock four days later; another step up the ladder when comfortably seeing off his ten rivals back at Haydock (again 6f on good) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise looks lenient and he's high on the list now upped in class. |

Major improvement when winning by 4l on handicap/seasonal debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) last month and he followed up over this C&D (good) four days later; had just a neck to spare last time and is 6lb higher today, but this well-bred colt could have more left in the tank for his top yard. |

9st 10lb |
Three runs at Newcastle, winning two of them and desperately unlucky in the 3yo handicap last Good Friday on the other; looked set for another productive season when scoring at Kempton in March and a subsequent York defeat shouldn't be used as conclusive evidence the handicapper has caught up; leading claims back on AW. |

6th 5 (5) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Five wins last year (AW/soft) and he improved again to win in good style on his reappearance at Kempton (6f, AW) in March; he's 5-9 on AW as opposed to 1-7 on turf but there can be optimism that he is just as good on grass (has shown promise on various ground) and he's firmly in calculations. |

Hold-up sprinter who won five times in 2025; fifth in a big-field event at the Curragh last September when he had to wait for an age for a gap to appear; appeals as the type to progress again this year and he's high on the list, for all he will need luck in running. |

His progress looked to have stalled after winning at Chester in July but he was back to his best when third at Goodwood 12 days ago, not really getting a clear run at things until it was too late; runs off the same mark here but he will have to prove himself on soft ground. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Down the field at Doncaster four weeks ago but that was his first attempt at 7f and it was in a more competitive race than this; he had a 3-8 strike-rate previously (including 6f wins on good/good to soft) and this 3yo could bounce back with a bold show for his top yard. |

Just one win to his name but runner-up in a big field at the Dante meeting here and again found only one too good at Southwell in September; however, both those runs were over 5f, he hasn't looked as effective at this trip and he never looked like getting involved over 5f here on Friday. |

Ran a cracker to finish second of 22 in a hot 3yo C&D handicap at the Dante meeting; unable to build on that since but he returned to form when second at Southwell 17 days ago; that was a drop in class and a 2lb rise back up in grade could find him out. |

Inconsistent across his recent starts and well beaten at Ascot (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago, but prior to that he ran well when fourth of 17 at Newmarket (6f, good to firm); this 3yo has the advantage of stall 1 and is capable of a big run if back on song; unraced on slow ground. |
