28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Listed win in Germany in October 2024 and went close at Sandown and Newbury last term; however, after a disappointing October he made it 0-10 for the season and this is a tough race in which to try to break his British duck. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Smart on the continent, including on testing ground; 0-9 for Jamie Osborne but he has run some good races, including a near miss over C&D last month; not so good at Ascot since but returning to Class 3 will be in his favour. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Smart on the continent; some notable form in eight defeats for this yard, last time going down narrowly in a Class 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft; second-time cheekpieces); however, he was behind four of these here the time before. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
In good form last June, winning off this mark over C&D (good) before an excellent second at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); some fair efforts this season and on a good mark now; not out of it. |

6th 7 (1) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten on his last 14 starts and he's been expensive to follow in that time, but he was denied a clear run at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month and again ran well when fifth of 19 at York (7f, good) last time; could be thereabouts. |
11/2 |

5th 5 (13) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
His losing sequence is up to 13 but he's 4lb lower than when runner-up at Royal Ascot last June and was denied a clear run when third at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last Saturday; bang there if getting the breaks. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Snapped a losing sequence in big field at Newbury (6f, good) in April and good second there (6f, good) since; won over C&D in 2024 2yo campaign and he should be fine back up to 7f; bang in form and he's one to consider. |

2nd 7 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Narrowly regained the winning thread in big field over C&D (good) last time when dropped back to 6f for first time since debut; unexposed at this trip and still looks favourably treated back up just 3lb; respected. |

1st 6 (4) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned over as far as 10.3f and this will be his first 6f run since his 2yo debut; well beaten in the Lincoln on his reappearance (1m, good to soft); dangerous mark judged on best 2025 effort (7f, good to soft); trip is a query but Oisin Murphy a notable booking. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Record is only 1-10, the success in 2yo maiden; has bits of useful form, including at Group level, but his handicap record is rather unconvincing; chance of doubling his tally partly depends on the effects of two physical tweaks (had gelding/wind operations since last run). |
33/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Suited by softer than good; best effort in Class 2 handicaps over 7f this season when third at Chester in June; ran well in the Mill Reef and Horris Hill at Newbury last autumn; interesting back here and dropped in grade. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
On a three-year losing run and nothing like the force of old but his current mark reflects that and this is a good bit easier than the two handicaps he tackled in the spring; no surprise were this class dropper to go well with his yard among the winners. |
8/1 |
|
12th 29 (24) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two-time Group winner over 7f but is on a near three-year losing spell and current mark reflects that he's not the force of old (admittedly showed bits of useful form in 2025); needs to step up on reappearance effort; failed to shine in the last two runnings of this contest. |
33/1 |
|
8th 4 (12) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner who could only beat one home in this race when it was staged as a Class 2 last year; managed a handful of creditable efforts subsequently but it's hard to ignore his last win came back in June 2023 (7f Group 3); returns on reduced mark. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Has a progressive profile and made it three wins from eight attempts when easily making all at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) last November; subsequently gelded; a 10lb rise means he'll need another personal best but he's a low-mileage 4yo who may have more in the tank. |
12/1 |

1st 3 (9) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who returned with cracking thirds in 1m1f/1m Goodwood handicaps in August; didn't find much after moving up looking a threat at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last month but the Goodwood efforts are solid and he's given another chance. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Four wins over 7f/1m, two on the AW; fair third at Newmarket in April (1m, good) but not so good since; acts on any ground although withdrawn on account of the going (officially good to firm) last time. |
7/1 |
|
5th 8 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Four wins split between turf and AW; his last success was off this mark at Lingfield in December but he has a mixed record since and was a well-held fourth at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) last month; others preferred. |

His ability is not in question but he needs everything to fall right and has often flattered to deceive; stepping back up to 1m is worth a go but others look safer. |

6th 11 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |

Not at the top of his game on either run this year but well backed at Chester last time, when the tight track may not have been ideal; on a handy mark on last season's best form and and he's not discounted. |

9st 7lb |
Made a winning debut in December 2024 and ran well in defeat on several occasions last year; signed off with a poor effort when ninth of 11 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last September but handicapper has given him a chance if he can hit the boards running. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Low-mileage 4yo who has raced mainly on AW; unable to sustain his progressive RPRs the last twice but gives the impression he's still in form; went close in sole turf attempt and is unexposed in this sphere. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

Well suited by this track, recording both her wins here and in the frame on her other three visits; ran on well to take third at Goodwood eight days ago; one to take seriously. |

3rd 9 (9) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Both wins at Windsor but she is effective elsewhere; runner-up in two of her three starts this year but she's back from nine weeks off and could prove vulnerable. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dropped down the weights last summer and he has rediscovered his spark this time around, following third-placed efforts here and at Goodwood with a comfortable Salisbury success (all over 7f); probably stays this far but he has yet to be placed in his six 1m starts so it will be breaking new ground for him to win today. |
3/1 |

1st 5 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Hasn't won since defying a 10lb higher mark at Glorious Goodwood two years ago but his two efforts this term are very encouraging, latest back at Goodwood (7f, soft); attractively treated and firmly in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has some strong C&D form; the second half of 2025 was disappointing but he dropped in the weights and his reappearance third at Kempton was a welcome return to form; big player. |
