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. |

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. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

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. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Successfully returned to 6f in the spring, winning narrowly at Newbury and finishing a close second there next time (both on good) but he wasn't himself on his next two starts, over 7f and 6f; on the back burner. |
18/1 |
|
11th 4 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Dropped to 6f in the autumn and won a 16-runner handicap at Newbury (good ground) in April; solid form when second back at Newbury in May but he ran poorly at York (7f, good) when last seen 12 weeks ago; not handicapped out of things if freshened up by his break. |
12/1 |

19th 2 (3) |
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. |

9st 13lb |
Won a 5f maiden at Bath in 2024 but 0-11 otherwise, and offered nothing in two runs following wind surgery and a gelding operation; risky at the minute. |

Has gone off big odds and finished well held on last three starts, latest on reappearance after being gelded; slipping in the weights but needs a revival. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
His last win was was in 2023 but that was a Group 3 event and he went close behind Where's Freddy over C&D (good to firm; 3-1 favourite) 13 days ago; on same mark here and he's a big player if he can repeat that form; visor added. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
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. |

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. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time winner, who acts on good to firm and good to soft; 0-9 since his AW win last December, but he's run plenty of good races this season including when fourth at Newbury (7f) last time; continues to edge down the weights and he shouldn't be far away. |
7/2 |

4th 8 (8) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
0-8 this season but he's been bubbling under, and he'd have gone close to winning at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday but for being badly hampered inside the final 1f; dangerous if he's fully recovered from that. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Mixed form this season but last two efforts creditable and the way his challenge petered out late on over 1m at Ascot a fortnight ago suggests this return to 7f could prove ideal. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Returned to form with easy win in small field at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) in July and showed it was no one-off when following up with something to spare over C&D (good) last month; found out off this mark at Ascot since but he was caught away from where the main action unfolded. |

Returned to form with easy win in small field at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) in July and showed it was no one-off when following up with something to spare at Haydock (1m, good); this 5yo is on a career-high mark but has never been better and is entitled to considerable respect; has won here. |

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. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Won over C&D (good to firm) in June before respectable eighth of 20 at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good; second of six in near-side group); versatile ground-wise and has run really well on both visits to Salisbury; chance. |
