21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Over two years since he last ran on the AW but that made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton; won last year's Stewards' Cup and this year's Wokingham, so clearly a tip-top handicapper when on his game; found the ground too slow in last month's big handicap at Goodwood but his run back there last time is not so easily forgiven. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Had an excuse (ground not fast enough) last time when failing by a long way to complete Stewards' Cup double; made all at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in his other two British runs this term, including the Wokingham; very useful handicapper when conditions are ideal. |
3/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Sprang a 40-1 surprise in this race 12 months ago, making all to beat Apollo One with the stands' rail proving advantageous; unsuccessful stint in Bahrain early in the year saw his handicap mark ease and he's returned to Britain with a bang, making all at Ascot (6f, good to firm; strong tailwind) in May and repeating the dose in the Wokingham there six weeks ago; only 4lb higher and foolish to think he couldn't slip the field again. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer started his campaign with back-to-back handicap wins at Newmarket (5f, good) and York (5f, good); yet to score at Pattern level but huge runs the last twice in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock (5f, good) and when a 1.5l fifth of 26 in the King Charles III (5f, gd-fm) at Royal Ascot; fourth in this last year and should be in the mix again. |
9/2 |

5th 6 (23) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
3-30 turf strike-rate doesn't do justice to his ability and he confirmed his recent improvement when a highly creditable fourth, again from the front, in a Group 2 at Haydock (good to soft; acts well on good) in May; this stiffer track and tougher opposition are likely to count against him. |
25/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
He's got back on track in a major way in 5f handicaps this spring, winning at Newmarket then impressively making all in a big field at York last week (both on good ground; effective on soft early in career); back up in grade this afternoon but this thriving 5yo could be capable of another bold bid. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Hooded all starts for this yard; can lead; has had just three runs in 6f handicaps, improving on a respectable effort in the Shergar Cup here when a ready winner at Goodwood (good to firm) last August; not so good on soft ground in the Ayr Gold Cup after and, while he is likely to do better as a 4yo, he was well held in a Listed contest on his comeback. |
33/1 |
|
6th 3 (10) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won two 6f events last summer, notably a Goodwood handicap (good to to firm; RPR 106) in August; not at the same level in the Ayr Gold Cup when last seen but there should be more to come this year. |
12/1 |
|
10 (15) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Unexposed 3yo; solid effort when third in a Shergar Cup sprint last month and made no mistake in a small field at Goodwood four weeks ago (also 6f, good to firm); penalty in a stronger race asks a big question of him, even though 2lb well in, and this will be the slowest ground he's tackled. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Not beaten far at Hamilton in August (5f, good) but only four ran there and he hasn't built on it since; will be 3lb lower from the weekend and easy enough to have reservations. |
25/1 |
|
2 (11) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Smart on his day, as when close up in a Group 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in April 2024; showed he was sharp enough for 5f when going down in a tight finish at Hamilton (good; four ran) in August and although below that level since he'll be suited by a return to good to soft ground in this lower grade than of late; has run well in a visor and it's now refitted. |
8/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Appeared to run well when a close third at Hamilton last month but that effort is sandwiched by two lesser efforts; down in the weights but stable may have stronger claims with Democracy Dilemma. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
On a good mark, fully 14lb lower than when winning last season's Great St Wilfrid, but 0-14 at 5f and he is drawn out wide. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
12lb lower than for his win in the Great St Wilfrid last August (6f, good to firm); mixed bag in 2026 but he is the type to pop up soon, albeit probably over a shorter trip. |
16/1 |
|
8th 11 (10) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) off a 9lb higher mark; some creditable efforts since but he's hard to predict and has struggled at Chester and York in his last two starts; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back on this drop back in trip. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
First win for nearly two years when he picked up a Windsor handicap (6f, good to firm) off 3lb lower in May and his subsequent effort at Chester, when never competitive, was a puzzling one a fortnight ago; same mark but it would not be a big surprise if he bounced back. |
20/1 |
|
7th 6 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Prevailed at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month, proving suited by the return to turf and belatedly registering a first win since joining Ian Williams; a 3lb rise still leaves him feasibly handicapped on the best of last year's form. |
13/2 |
