17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Went close at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) in May and hasn't run badly in competitive handicaps on his next two starts, including the Royal Hunt Cup over C&D, but he needs something extra in a first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) if he's to come out on top today. |

Three handicap wins last year (1m, good/good to firm) and runner-up at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) in May on his second start this season; merely mid-division in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time but he's not ruled out after a break; unproven on slow ground. |

A regular in notable handicaps, bagging three (over 1m) during his progressive period last term and proving resurgent when close second to Erzindjan at Newmarket (1m1f) latest start; first home in the unfavoured group in the Britannia at this meeting 12 months ago; looks set to go well. |

Gamely justified favouritism in Thirsk handicap (good to firm) last time, taking record to 3-3 (all 1m); has obvious allure, being an improving contender who remains unbeaten. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |

3yo with an unbeaten record after contrasting wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm; 28-1; came from last to first) in May and Southwell (1m, AW; 7-5 favourite; made all) in June; meets a higher calibre of rival on today's handicap debut but he's hugely unexposed and could be anything. |

|
8th 9 (7) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Arrived for the Britannia on the back of a hat-trick of wins, the last of them coming in the competitive Silver Bowl at Haydock (1m, good), but he met trouble at a crucial stage at the Royal meeting and his midfield run is best ignored; will be very dangerous if getting the breaks this time. |
11/2 |

17th 8 (33) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
All good this year and completed his hat-trick in the always-competitive Silver Bowl at Haydock (1m, good); has made a canny habit of not winning any of his races by far and could still be on happy terms with the handicapper despite a 6lb rise; a tough colt who won't be fazed by the challenge of a Britannia and he's on the shortlist for yard that won this in 2020. |

16th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
1m1f winner at York in June but disappointing at Sandown next time on his only attempt at 1m2f; respectable efforts (1m1f/1m) on his last two starts, the latest on good to soft when wearing first-time cheekpieces, but he needs to find a bit extra. |
11/2 |

5th 5 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Seems well suited by York and followed an encouraging reappearance there with a big-field win over this trip (good; effective on heavy) on that course in June; perhaps has share of weight now but a return to 1m and the fitting of cheekpieces could spice things up. |
6/1 |

Showed improved form when beating 15 rivals to land a 0-85 York handicap in June (1m1f, good) but he disappointed when favourite at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last month; may be capable of bouncing back. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |

Won at Yarmouth (1m1f, soft) last September on final 3yo start and returned to form when third to Mirsky in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago in reapplied cheekpieces (retained), which he may well have won granted a clear run; lightly raced and in top hands; firmly in calculations. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |

5th 3 (13) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Unraced on going softer than good; Listed winner as a 2yo and, dropped back from Classic level, ran respectably in the Jersey Stakes (7f Group 3; fared best of the near-side group) at Royal Ascot most recently; that latest effort has received several boosts since; clear possibilities on handicap debut, provided the cards drop right (usually held up in rear). |

Gained Listed win at Newbury (6f, good) last summer on final 2yo run and excelled himself when eighth in last month's 2,000 Guineas (66-1) despite being hampered at the start; needs another step forward and he was well held in the Coventry here 12 months ago, but he may not be fully exposed. |

9st 0lb |
This 3yo has very much gone the right way since an AW debut success in March, including two 1m Ascot handicap wins (another excellent run there when third in Britannia at Royal meeting); caught wide and too far back when eighth of 17 in handicap at York's Ebor meeting last month and that shouldn't be taken to suggest his improvement has come to a halt; won't need to advance his form too much to make his presence felt in Group company. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Progressive 3yo who strolled home in a C&D handicap in May and performed even better when a close third in the Britannia here (again good to firm) the following month; that run more than justifies a further 5lb rise in the weights and he's a major player again on a course he clearly handles very well. |

Looked good when beating his 14 rivals at Thirsk on debut in April and defied a penalty at Newbury (again 7f on good) one month later; the Newbury second and third have won since; good prospect and the drop to sprinting shouldn't be an issue (dam won the Abbaye); an intriguing contender. |

Last year's heroics were always going to be a tough act to follow but he got back on the scoresheet with a last-gasp win at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month; back up 3lb but he remains feasibly treated and could be a big factor again back up in trip. |

Last year's heroics were always going to be a tough act to follow but the addition of cheekpieces, allied to a reduced mark, have seen an upturn in his fortunes since June; latest Windsor second (1m, good to firm; stable debut) wasn't far off his best and he's high on the list with Billy Loughnane aboard for the first time. |
