22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Last two wins came over an extended 2m4f at Goodwood and he may still need this given he was returning from over a year off when well beaten at Newmarket last time; yard could hardly be in better form, though. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten in this race three years ago and then went missing for 640 days; confined to four races in 2024, easily the best of them his defeat of 17 rivals over 2m4f at Glorious Goodwood (4lb lower); fully entitled to need this after another long absence. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Not the most consistent but won off this mark over C&D in October and ran well at Lingfield on penultimate outing; a bit below form when hooded first time 15 days ago in a small field; player if it's one of his good days. |
25/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not the most consistent but won off 1lb lower mark at Kempton (2m) in October; returned to form when third of eight at Lingfield (2m) two weeks ago; first-time hood now goes on and another to consider. |

Saw off reopposing stablemate Enemy when successful over 2m at Kempton in October but down the field in a series final there at the beginning of December and eased off after hanging left under pressure at Newcastle last month; hard to know what to expect. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Made most for two game wins in four-runner C&D races (good to firm) last summer, latterly in this race off 2lb higher than today; second to Baileys Khelstar over C&D on latest outing was in just a three-runner race but easily his best Flat effort this year, so he could be on his way back. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Comes into this off the back of winning a three-runner race over hurdles at Fontwell, but he is equally adept on the Flat with two wins in four-runner contests over C&D (good to firm) last summer, including this race off 1lb lower; respected. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Second on Chelmsford Polytrack in latest AW race; tremendous progress last year once sent handicapping in cheekpieces, racking up four wins and the last three of those (in small fields) were over 2m, increasingly impressive; improvement stalled at Newmarket in the Cesarewitch Trial and Cesarewitch itself on last two outings, but he remains of major interest on this return. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Tremendous progress once sent handicapping in cheekpieces, racking up four wins and the last three of those (in small fields) were over 2m, increasingly impressive; he was put in his place, improvement ending, when never-dangerous third to Reverend Hubert over C&D three weeks ago off revised mark, but he's able to race off 5lb lower today; considered. |
9/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Since sent handicapping in cheekpieces he's delivered form figures of 12111 and has looked seriously progressive since upped to 2m, again winning as he liked last time at Goodwood (good to firm); handicapper didn't hold back with a 10lb rise but that might not halt his progress. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 185y |
9st 3lb |
Three wins on the Flat and two over hurdles for this versatile performer; most recently landing a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Gowran in October; ground versatile in the past although might just prefer it a bit softer these days. |
5/1 |
|
7th 6 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 3lb |
Dual-purpose; 2-14 over hurdles, the latest win coming off 5lb lower at Gowran (2m4f, soft) in October; not a bad run when fading in the closing stages at Punchestown latest (23.5f, yielding) after a break; sharper now, this shorter trip a plus and has run well here on the Flat; in the mix. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |

Three-time Flat winner won his second hurdle race at Gowran over 2m4f last October but was pulled-up at this track next time; poor on the Flat latest; others make more appeal |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Smart dual-purpose type won a nice Flat prize over 2m a fortnight ago; came off worse in a couple of 3m clashes with Happy Jacky last year, but not by much, including when beaten a head in the corresponding race; relishes good ground. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
9st 2lb |
Dual-purpose; signed off last season with a solid effort in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, gd-fm); may have needed the run over an inadequate 1m6f here last month; sharper now and moves up in trip; beaten in this last year off 8lb lower but respected nonetheless. |
20/1 |

18th 6 (18) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Drew 8l clear in Cesarewitch trial at Newmarket in September (2m2f, good); couldn't follow up in the real thing when sixth of 19; up 10lb compared to his last win and he has never won after an absence before. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 200y |
9st 4lb |
Capable under both codes, both Flat wins coming in 1m6f Killarney handicaps, last summer off 72 before good second at Newmarket (2m2f); Curragh comeback run in late May was poor but more expected of here. |
6/1 |
|
24th 15 (12) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Capable under both codes, with dual wins in each; won a Killarney handicap in August and was a distant runner-up at Newmarket in September (8l behind Reverend Hubert); finished seventh in this race last year, and may need this comeback run once again. |
15/1 |
|
7 (1) |
20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Another who is capable under both codes and has been on a roll on the Flat this year, gamely repelling allcomers from the front over 1m6f at Killarney last time (good); however, off this mark in today's company, this would be his toughest test yet on the Flat. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Without a win since 2023 and was out of form when last seen over hurdles in the autumn; this year's Flat form has been fairly respectable but he's on the downgrade and makes only limited appeal back in this sphere. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023 but he's been in fair form on AW this spring including when fourth on Polytrack (2m) in his last two starts; should be in the mix again but he needs to find more to make a big impact; cheekpieces are removed and blinkers return. |
9/2 |

4th 4 (1) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023; expensive to follow in recent times but he arrives in form and this is a touch easier again off a career-low mark; can't be left out of calculations. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Inconsistent for new yard in the second half of last year but posted wins at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) and Nottingham (1m6f, heavy; when last seen); in the mix if at the top of her game on this reappearance. |
2/1 |
|
2 (6) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) last month on second stable start and didn't see out the stiff finish at Pontefract (2m2f, soft) last time; she's not discounted now back down in trip. |
13/2 |
|
9 (9) |
20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Ultra game from the front when winning last week's 2m2f Musselburgh Gold Cup (good to soft); effectively 4lb lower with Ashley Lewis taking off 7lb, but she had a very yard race and this rise in class may find her out. |
