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. |

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. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Classy sprinter who built on an eye-catching reappearance when justifying strong support in handicap at Windsor (5f, good) 12 days ago; found only one too good in French Listed event last summer and looks a strong contender back in this grade. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Chester (5f, good) last May and he's run some good races in big fields since including at York four days ago; finished eighth of 21 in that race but he didn't get much luck and that was an eye-catching effort after 235 days off; interesting contender. |
7/2 |
|
8th 3 (12) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Last season's 3yo campaign ended with two below-par runs but he may have been ready for a break; reappears on a competitive mark based on last summer's form in big-field 5f handicaps and Ryan Moore, who has an excellent 33% strike-rate for Clive Cox, is booked; could be involved. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Third of 22 in 3yo handicap over C&D (good to firm) at this meeting 12 months ago and progressive on AW since; soft ground may not have suited at Musselburgh last time and he's had wind surgery since; however, a career best is needed today and he has to prove he's just as good on turf as AW. |
16/1 |
|
11th 2 (1) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive and posted another personal best when third at Southwell (5f, AW) on reappearance; his turf form is at a lower level but he still won at Thirsk last spring and finished third in a big field at York's Dante meeting (both 5f, good to firm); race-fit and should be in the thick of things again if a low draw doesn't count against him. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer; thumped ten rivals in a C&D handicap last July and ran well off his revised mark (1lb lower today) back here in September; found the Group 1 Abbaye too hot to handle when last seen in October; won after a break last spring but he was well ahead of his mark then and that probably isn't the case now. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won the Palace Of Holyroodhouse Handicap at Royal Ascot (5f) last June and hard to knock her subsequent defeats including a near-miss at Glorious Goodwood; returns after 239 days off but she still looks feasibly treated and was a good third over C&D on her reappearance last season; dangerous. |
5/1 |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won the 5f Palace Of Holyroodhouse Handicap at Royal Ascot and hard to knock her subsequent defeats, including a near miss at Glorious Goodwood; perhaps not at her very best in a Listed race last time and this is her first run on the AW; still hard to dismiss. |
5/1 |
|
10 (1) |
30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Progressive 3yo who saw off 23 rivals in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse Handicap at Royal Ascot and performed better still when beaten a nose in 20-runner handicap at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good; unraced on softer) last month; still relatively low mileage and may have an even bigger run in her. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Prolific winner over the years, including over C&D; no impact yet this season but he wasn't disgraced from a wide draw at Chester last time and he's tumbling in the weights; solid each-way claims. |
12/1 |
|
7th 8 (11) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Close third off 6lb higher (from stall 5) in this contest two years ago and 2-4 at Chester overall; however, has a big doubt over current form, reflected in two duck eggs this season; wide draw adds uncertainty. |
25/1 |
|
12th 7 (10) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Ten-time winner whose mark is now 3lb lower than for his latest success; probably needed the run when well held at Southwell two weeks ago, but didn't show much and may require another before hitting his stride. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Underwent wind/gelding operations prior to his successful seasonal/handicap debut at the Dante meeting and returned to York a month ago when he held his own against older opposition (beaten a head); up another 4lb but he's a fast-improving sprinter who won his novice here. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 10 (4) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Wind and gelding operations prior to his seasonal/handicap debut at the Dante meeting here (5f, good to firm) in May, a race in which he proved far too strong for 21 rivals; that race hasn't worked out quite as well as might have been expected and he will need to improve again to defy an 8lb rise; low mileage though and his record suggests a three-month layoff is no bad thing; first run beyond a bare 5f. |

Three-time winner on good to firm last year, including over C&D in August off a mark 1lb higher than today's; 0-4 in Bahrain this winter but now returns to Britain on a handy mark having been off for 83 days; could have this run to suit and holds claims. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has won two of his last three and was drawn out of contention when beaten at Goodwood; always in a good place before doing it comfortably at Windsor (5f, good to firm); 7lb rise asks a question but he's on top of his game. |

8st 9lb |
7yo who recorded his 13th win when making all off a reduced mark at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago; 3lb higher on this step back up in grade but he remains well treated on his best form and is 2-2 over C&D, including a success off current mark in this race 12 months ago; key player. |
100/30 |

4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 3 |

Prominent racer; did best of the group to race on the stands' side when third in a 5f handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago; well handicapped on last summer's best and he has a good record at Bath; shortlisted. |
7/2 |

3rd 5 (7) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple wins include this race (good) in 2025, on sole C&D start, then won two of his next three starts; his form died down after that which leaves him well treated again, 5lb lower than his latest win; good claims but he did seem better for his reappearance when coming up trumps last April. |

10st 4lb |
In good form for most of 2025, winning two 5f handicaps last spring; not quite hit those heights this time around, including from a good draw at Chester 24 days ago (met some trouble in the home straight); today's drop into a Class 4 will help and she is back against her own sex; should go well. |

6th 11 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |

4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 3 |

Only sixth and ninth this year, but he caught the eye on his reappearance and blew the start next time; now 7lb lower than when winning over C&D (good ground) last summer; likely to be doing his best work late on and a leading contender if getting the breaks. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Well handicapped on last season's best, including a York win off 4lb higher (5f, good); only midfield at Beverley on his reappearance 17 days ago (5f, good to soft) but the ground would have been slower than ideal and he travelled strongly before plugging on past a few tiring rivals in the final furlong; better expected back on a quicker surface. |

Made it three wins from his five starts when landing a handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last August; her two other wins came at 6f; returned to form when staying on for fourth of 14 at Southwell (5f, AW) last September when last seen and the return to 6f could be a good move on her comeback. |

Lightly raced, improving sprinter who likes to be up there; her first real blip when down the field at York (5f, good to firm) but unlikely that she gave her true running; remains of interest and has run well on both visits here. |

9st 5lb |
6yo mare who sprang a 22-1 surprise in Listed race at Bath (5f, good) in April, swooping fast and late; likeable type with an impressive strike-rate but she'll need another personal best under a penalty. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |

Back to something approaching her best when winning a 14-runner handicap at Southwell last September (blinkered first time); may have needed the run back at Southwell last month (first run for 164 days); she'll do well to win but a minor placing isn't out of the question. |

Gained her first turf success at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last June and made it 5-10 on the AW when landing a handicap in first-time blinkers over this C&D in September; off since but she holds good claims on this surface off this 4lb higher mark. |
