2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
1m winner at Newmarket and York last summer but failed to shine on last two outings, when co-second favourite for the C&D Cambridgeshire on first occasion; only mid-division when 13-2 in the Spring Cup at Newbury two weeks ago but not beaten far and the draw looked a problem; not ruled out. |

11th 7 (4) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Below par on his last two 3yo starts but he'd previously won competitive 1m events at Newmarket and York (both good to firm) in the summer, and he did well to prevail at York after having to wait for a run; only 3lb higher here and he'll be a major player if ready to roll after six months off. |

3yo who won good handicaps this summer at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) and York (1m, good to firm); underwhelming when mid-division in the Cambridgeshire three weeks ago, even allowing for the 1m1f trip, but he's not written off in view of his previous abundant promise. |

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. |

Two turf wins at around 1m on good ground last summer, the second of them coming off a 1lb higher mark; not far off his best form when fourth at Lingfield early this month but he has since finished a remote 11th at Musselburgh; not a solid option. |

9/1 |
|
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. |

8st 4lb |
Respectable efforts last July-September after moving into handicaps, the best run coming over C&D (good to firm) in August when close fifth of 17; gelded since last seen and it's possible this lightly raced 4yo will have more to offer for his good yard this term. |

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 |

Won a Nottingham maiden (1m, good) and a Yarmouth handicap (1m1f, soft) last year; respectable sixth (Mirsky third) of 12 in 1m1f Musselburgh handicap on reappearance three weeks ago; wandered around a little under pressure there and now refitted with the cheekpieces he wore once last season; could resume his progression and much respected from a handy inside stall. |

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. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
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. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (15) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |

1st 8 (17) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
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. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Made virtually all for a clearcut win on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good) in April but hit with 9lb rise for that success and he's been vulnerable in two subsequent runs; reported to have had post-race heat stress at Newmarket last month but this is a deeper race and others are preferred; the hood worn last time is removed. |

Nicely bred gelding who ran well in small-field handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) most recently, taking record to 112; the form of his maiden/novice wins (7f, good) has substance; goes into deeper waters but is open to further improvement. |

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. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Five handicap wins (7f to 1m; four in a hood) in a productive 2025, including on a fast surface, and he looked unlucky when third of 15 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, heavy; Kaleido ninth) in July; probably needed reappearance in March and likely didn't stay 1m2f when never competitive three weeks later; this mark demands a return to his best, though. |

Winner of his first three handicaps in 2025 (up to about 1m; good) and showed this mark wasn't beyond him when going close at Glorious Goodwood (1m, heavy) last July; should come on for his recent reappearance and have a say with cheekpieces back on. |

Finished close up in fifth in the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot last year (1m, good to firm); his 3yo campaign rather fizzled out but he dropped in the weights as a result and took full advantage with his 7.6f success here 24 days ago; well drawn again and a 4lb rise isn't beyond him. |

Fifth over C&D (good) at this meeting last year on his first outing for Ian Williams and followed that with a very good fifth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); failed to match that level later in the campaign but his mark has dipped and dangerous if bouncing back to form after a winter break; a good draw and Billy Loughnane in the saddle are positives. |
