3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins and three seconds from his only five races; justified favouritism in a 1m3f handicap at Glorious Goodwood and launched a strong challenge for valuable handicap at Ascot (1m4f, soft) four weeks ago, drawing nearly 6l clear of the third; 1m6f now looks worth a go and he's one of the leading contenders on form. |

|
2nd 2 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden winner who came up shy under penalties but confirmed himself progressive when justifying favouritism in a 1m3f handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good to soft); hit with a 7lb rise but that form has been franked and this colt might well have appreciably more to offer; the one to beat. |
15/8 |

1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Kempton (1m, AW) last October and reappeared with good seconds in further novice events at Newmarket (1m2f, good) and Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft); needs better on this handicap debut but early days and there's plenty to suggest this longer trip can help. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Made the frame a few times during his spell in UAE and perhaps needed the run when returned to British soil last time; competitively handicapped on best form. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
AW and dual turf winner over about 1m2f last April-June; some minor honours in his November-March campaign in the UAE, mostly on dirt, without reproducing best efforts; tongue tied first time for today's return from four months off and he needs to be back at his peak; has a bit to prove on firmer than good (after one attempt) but his yard is among the winners. |
7/1 |
|
2 (10) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive to win three 1m2f handicaps (Lingfield AW, Chester and Epsom) this season before never dangerous at Newmarket three weeks ago on his first race on good to firm; best effort on good to soft, soft in places, the time before, with a strong finish to pip Grecian Legacy, and he may well bounce back to go well again. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 130y |
11st 0lb |
Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian; 0-6 over hurdles; has failed to build on a third-placing in a Naas event in which the top-class Saratoga was second; twice a beaten favourite since then (including in a 4yo handicap at Ascot) and looks vulnerable. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
11st 0lb |
Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; 0-5 over hurdles but bar one blip it's been a promising start; placed in three of his four starts over hurdles in Ireland, including a Naas event in which the top-class Saratoga was second; hung badly right when failing to justify support in a juvenile handicap hurdle at Ascot. |
4/1 |
|
8th 1 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 157y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; 0-4 over hurdles but bar one blip it's been a promising start; he was facing testing ground for the first time in his life when third at Naas in the race that yet again provided the winner of the Fred Winter and conditions were again slow when third in a big-field maiden last week at Navan; suspicion there's more in the locker that could be unleashed now handicapping, especially back on a drier surface; big player. |

9st 12lb |
Has won four of his 11 races, the latest by 6l at Goodwood in May (1m2f, good; made all); hit with a 12lb rise for that and below par since; stays 1m4f, has been dropped 4lb and tongue-tie now tried; bit to prove. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Acts on good to firm; effective with varied tactics and easily made all on his reappearance over C&D (good; 10lb higher today) in May; needs to bounce back from a poor show when never dangerous at just 7-1 for a top 1m2f handicap at York 17 days ago. |
6/1 |

17th 3 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins in light campaign last season (1m2f/1m4f, good to firm/good) and he easily made all on his reappearance at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May; has a 12lb rise to contend with in this hotter race but it remains to be seen where the ceiling of his ability lies; top yard has won this race three times. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up off 1lb higher at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April and he's run respectably on his three starts since; this is less competitive than those last three outings and he might not be far away. |
15/2 |

9th 6 (15) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Kept on for second at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April and he's run well in fourth on both starts since (1m2f/1m4f, good to soft/good to firm); he's never raced over a trip this short and it isn't an obvious plus, but on the flip-side a well-run race in this big field should play to his strengths. |
14/1 |

4th 8 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Fit from AW and hurdling when good second to Fierce Fortitude at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April, keeping on strongly; respectable fourth of 16 to a runaway winner at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago and should be okay back at 1m4f, but this race looks a bit too hot; 5lb claimer is recruited. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Returned from winter break with an impressive Goodwood win (1m2f, good) in May, when overcoming trouble in running; has had plausible reasons for defeats since and could well have more to offer back with what look ideal conditions. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Maiden winner who was on the premises in all six handicaps, albeit managing only sixth of 20 when favourite for Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (upped to 2m) penultimate start on AW debut; on the heels of Shrimp Shady at Newbury latest; pretty reliable but needs to find extra for the win. |

3rd 4 (3) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Maiden winner who's been on the premises in all his five handicaps, albeit managing only sixth of 20 from midfield when clear favourite for the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (upped to 2m) last time on AW debut; no handicap win but he's been pretty reliable and this race is a lot less competitive. |

6th 15 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won 1m2f maiden last June; on the premises in all his four handicaps, coming from off the pace when second at Haydock (1m6f) on final 3yo start and when third at Hamilton (1m5f; gelded and hooded) on reappearance six weeks ago; relatively lightly raced, so could have further improvement in him and 2m is plausible for this AW debut. |

8st 6lb |
Seven-race maiden, with four seconds including at Doncaster (1m4f; odds-on) and Pontefract (2m1f; made most in first-time cheekpieces) on his two starts this season; reverts to just a tongue-tie and relatively unexposed as a stayer but others have to be more persuasive. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
0-6 but he has recorded an RPR of 84 or more in each of his last five starts; beaten at odds-on at Doncaster on his reappearance (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; stepping up to a marathon trip could prompt further progress, as could the new cheekpieces; shortlisted. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 4 |

Shaped well without getting his head in front last season, signing off with a good fourth in the Melrose at York in August; this brother to the Irish Oaks winner Sea Of Class has since been gelded and looks a good prospect for 2026; player. |

Made all in workmanlike fashion when 5-6 in a Haydock maiden (1m4f, good) in June on third start; handicap debut (1m4f, AW debut) next time was creditable on form but he hung markedly left; last of 13 with blinkers at Glorious Goodwood (40-1) 13 days ago and now tries cheekpieces. |

In the frame all six starts this season, and might have bumped into a smart one when second off today's mark at Kempton (1m4f, AW) ten days ago; also suited by turf and won't be far away if stamina holds out over new trip. |

2nd 3 (3) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Consistent sort who has yet to be out of the first four in 17 starts; his two wins including one here over 1m3f last August and he was beaten only 2l over C&D last month; should continue to give his running. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Extraordinarily consistent sort who is yet to finish out of the frame in 16 starts; Master Vintner and two others proved too strong for him late on over C&D two starts back but that rival is 3lb worse off at today's weights, so they are very closely matched. |

Unraced on softer than good; seventh start when off the mark in nine-runner handicap at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago, returning to form and making most to win by a neck with Ride The Thunder back in fourth; raised 4lb but may have turned a corner with those new tactics. |

Improved RPR through his first six starts, unraced on firmer than good; won by a nose in handicap at Doncaster (1m4f) and running-on second of nine when upped markedly in grade at Goodwood last Wednesday, both about 1m4f; two days later when below form over 1m3f at Goodwood last Friday, making most; player if back on song eight days later. |

Improved RPR with each of his six starts; second and first in very tight finishes to his first two handicaps and running-on second of nine when upped markedly in grade here on Wednesday, all about 1m4f (good to soft/good); this slightly shorter trip might not be ideal but he's still one to consider. |

Improved RPR with each of his five starts; strong at the finish when pipped at Haydock (good) on handicap debut and held on by a nose when he set the pace in six-runner race at Doncaster (good to soft) two weeks later, both over about 1m4f; up 4lb and markedly in grade but he's heading the right way. |

Dead-heated for first at Lingfield in June when upped to 1m2f on handicap debut; that AW performance remains very much his best effort, though, as he disappointed when favourite back on turf at Doncaster (1m2f, good) three weeks ago. |
