28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Dual hurdle winner who is 0-4 in handicaps; however, he should be on a fair mark given the level of his Flat ability and he ran quite well in a valuable Newmarket handicap at the Guineas meeting; player. |
9/4 |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Had underwhelming hurdle and AW campaigns before his second of five when returned to Flat turf at Beverley (2m) 18 days ago; this demands markedly better and his 2024 and 2025 turf records aren't that persuasive. |

2nd 1 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 32y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Second to Sax Appeal over C&D and successful over 1m6f at Wolverhampton (both off 2lb higher than today) last July; it's hard to be enthused by his more recent efforts, including well held at Newcastle on Good Friday, but this is a much less competitive scenario. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
All three wins have been on soft going, the most recent in impressive style in the Chester Plate (2m2f, soft) in May 2023 off 1lb higher than today; absent 678 days before his encouraging fifth to Aggagio here in June, followed by a lesser show in last of three at Beverley but that was on good; very much one to note if he gets his ground. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 32y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Returned from a long absence with fair fifth at Goodwood (2m, soft) last month and there's every chance he'll have improved for that outing; however, soft ground seems preferable so he could do with lots of rain. |

5th 3 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW which has dominated his career; best turf ratings were on last two outings but his turf form still needs improvement. |
6/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Something amiss on sole start here (2024); very busy since and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW (which has dominated career) and his turf form needs improvement. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 32y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Prominent racer who posted four wins in the second half of last year, including a C&D defeat of Charging Thunder on good; suffered a heavy defeat on AW last time but it was in a strong Good Friday race at Newcastle and Charging Thunder was once again behind him; a bold show seems likely in these much calmer waters back on turf. |
