17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Merely mid-division at Doncaster (1m, good) last month but his form figures at Ascot read 222 (1m, good to firm/good; twice in big fields), with the latest of those in August and he was a good second at York (1m, good to soft) next time; has an each-way shout if leaving his latest run behind. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

He's returned to form to finish second in these cheekpieces on his last two starts, at Ascot (1m, good to firm) and at York (1m, good to soft; won that same competitive handicap 12 months previously); solid claims. |

Failed to kick on after winning this last year (good to firm) but he returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) when runner-up at Ascot (1m, good to firm) recently; won on soft ground early in career; firmly in the mix if backing up that latest performance. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Added to fine Goodwood record when second of 18 in the Golden Mile off 1lb higher at the Glorious meeting; two below-par efforts have followed but the first was under a new rider in the Shergar Cup at Ascot and he was caught too far back at the York Ebor meeting since; considered. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |

Uncharacteristically below par at Ascot recently but was under a new rider in the Shergar Cup; he's run really well in defeat under Danny Tudhope in some hot handicaps this year and was second in this last season (good to firm); versatile ground-wise; could bounce back with a big performance. |

Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot last June was the only time he's failed to improve his rating in six-race career but even then he managed fourth of 15; close third in handicap at York Ebor meeting (1m, good to firm) preceded win number four in a 7f Listed race at Newbury; while better is needed in this Group 3, he looks the type to find it in this second season. |

Unraced on softer than good; ran well at the Ebor festival when bidding for a York handicap (1m) double, taking form figures to 11413; ties in with Spy Chief on Jersey Stakes (7f) running; progressive contender. |

3rd 7 (11) |
21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |

Fourth of 15 in the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); unbeaten otherwise in two novice events before that and a nine-runner C&D handicap (good to firm) on latest outing; travelled well to challenge in the latter and although he scored by just a neck, from Sisyphean, and has gone up 4lb, there has to be every chance of further progress; big player. |

Two 1m wins on turf (good to firm/good) last year and later won over 1m2f on the Polytrack; well treated on the pick of that form but he's been quiet this year and was well held back from a break at York 16 days ago; needs to raise his game. |

8st 11lb |
Has gained his only two British wins in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket but since the latest one in July he has been placed twice over C&D and an unlucky second at Newbury (flew home from a difficult position, amid interrupted passage); each-way possibilities. |

9yo who went 0-10 last year but he's well handicapped on the pick of last season's efforts, which came in the spring, and his Doncaster form-figures of 1413 catch the eye on his first visit here since 2023; interesting. |

Inconsistent sort who made it 1-20 on turf (that grass win came here in 2yo campaign) when well beaten at Royal Ascot last month; however, two starts ago he was a close sixth in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) when he was denied a clear run, and he's not ruled out. |

Eye-catcher, amid traffic issues, in the Thirsk Hunt Cup last time; form over C&D comprises a respectable eighth (off current mark) in this contest last year and creditable third (did well having been hampered) later in 2025; still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf, however. |
