25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Soft-ground debut winner who comfortably landed a Doncaster handicap (1m, good) last September; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been beaten 11l and 18l in Listed events in his last two starts; has bit to prove after another break and he's untried on AW. |
7/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Soft-ground debut winner who comfortably landed a C&D handicap (good) last September; failed to kick on subsequently and he's narrowly bottom of this pack on form, but this lightly raced 4yo may still have more to offer and he's the only course winner in the line-up; not discounted. |

7th 7 (1) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Close second in his first two handicaps, then improved to win at Doncaster (1m, good) in September in dominant fashion; the latter form was not repeated when just 8-1 for the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (good to firm) two weeks later but he still came sixth, perhaps stretched by 1m1f, and may still be open to progress; not dismissed. |

10st 3lb |
Capable of very useful form, such as keeping-on second off current mark at Doncaster (1m, good) when last seen nine months ago; just looks far from certain to go one better, being 0-12 since debut success in 2021. |

Handicap debutant who is unlikely to defy top weight judged on 2025 efforts; however, very useful on his day and he's is on a handy mark based on the pick of his Listed/Group form. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy; on a competitive mark on last year's best efforts but he's without a win since September 2022 and finished merely in mid-division on reappearance in the Lincoln here in March (unseated rider on the way to post); others are more persuasive. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Winless since September 2022 and 0-9 last year after returning from a stint in Australia; however, last season's best efforts came over C&D, including when fifth in this (good to soft) and runner-up in October (heavy); 7lb lower than 12 months ago and Jack Callan removes valuable 5lb; each-way claims. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
10yo who won this in 2023; frequently runs well in quality handicaps and he's 5lb lower than when a cracking third in the Royal Hunt Cup last June; scratched from the Lincoln when running a temperature on his intended comeback last month and he tends to improve for a run these days; also winless since 2023. |
15/2 |

11th 2 (1) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
9yo who has drawn a blank since winning on the July Course in summer 2023 and needs everything to drop right but he often runs extremely well in defeat, including when third in the Royal Hunt Cup in June; another respectable effort when sixth of 20 in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good) a fortnight ago; not discounted in this slightly easier race. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Heavy-ground winner of a Glorious Goodwood handicap (1m) last July and he had dipped below that winning mark when scoring at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last time; 2lb nudge shouldn't stop him being competitive. |
11/1 |
|
1st 1 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; won off 1lb higher at Goodwood (1m) last July but has mixed record since and was beaten 11l in the Spring Mile on his reappearance in March; this is a big drop back in grade but he's now 1-11 in handicaps and others are more convincing. |
12/1 |
|
11th 4 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Not disgraced (fifth of 14) in sole Doncaster attempt and current mark is workable; however, may be more interesting when back at Goodwood with this reappearance under his belt, having gained both wins there. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Built on his solid reappearance at the York Dante meeting when resuming winning ways back on the Knavesmire (1m1f, good) under Ryan Moore three weeks ago; the way he held on determinedly suggests this slightly longer trip should be within range; looks sure to go well. |
15/8 |
|
1st 1 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Fifth of 15 in a hot 3yo handicap at last year's Ebor meeting (1m, good to firm); another solid 1m course effort when sixth of 18 in Class 2 on Dante meeting reappearance; that rates a good launchpad for the season from this still unexposed 4yo; makes obvious appeal under Ryan Moore. |
7/2 |

6th 17 (15) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
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. |

Too headstrong in a clear lead at Southwell (7f) last time, so did fairly well to be beaten only 2l in the end; gained last win off 10lb higher at Newcastle in August 2024; fighting chance provided he settles. |
10/1 |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well treated on last year's high points and it wasn't a bad run from off the pace at Chelmsford 12 days ago, given how that race panned out (pulled hard/got behind/found trouble); the cheekpieces are worth persevering with. |
4/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Performed well (first and third) at Chester in last two turf attempts and may be capable of further progress returned to this sphere; helps to give his connections, who also run Aalto, a robust hand. |
9/1 |

7th 3 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Good effort to win a 7.6f handicap at Chester on his reappearance and he ran to a similar level when third back there (7f) four weeks ago; today's stiffer test at the trip will suit and he has shown promise on AW. |
4/1 |

3rd 5 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
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. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |

3rd 4 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
His best efforts for Godolphin came on AW; no show in two turf runs for Ed Bethell in the autumn but he bounced back to form wih a bang when making all in a 7f handicap at Kempton in November; a 2lb rise is manageable but there are other front-runners on show and he has a 197-day absence to overcome back on turf. |

Progressive hurdler when last seen in 2023, although below best on final start that September; had smart AW form in Group 3 and Listed 1m2f races for Roger Varian earlier and his mark has dropped 8lb since last seen on the Flat; fascinating to see how the betting goes back from absence. |
