2nd 10 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Built on debut promise by completing a Newmarket double (7f/6f) last October and the form has received several boosts since; came off a true line last time but may keep straighter with headgear now applied; open to further progress and commands respect on handicap/seasonal debut, especially if the betting speaks positively. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
650,000gns breeze-up purchase; fourth at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last month and he built on that when justifying 4-9 favouritism in a five-runner maiden here (7f, good) four weeks ago, making virtually all to score by a neck; has 7lb penalty and 7lb claimer is enlisted; speedy pedigree bolsters hopes that he can adapt to 6f. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Gelded since finishing last when favourite for the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m); had progressive 7f form previously and recorded a wide-margin success at Newmarket (good) the time before, taking record over this trip to 2211; may still have more to offer and remains of interest. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to run a bad race as the sixth at Newmarket (1m, good) on handicap debut was a close one; back over 7f there and sent off the 4-11 favourite, he romped home by the thick end of 10l to earn today's 11lb higher mark; that rise asks serious questions, but he has the wind in his sails and Oisin Murphy would have had options for this. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with an AW win over 7f (made most); thoroughly encouraging reappearance here (1m, good) in April on handicap debut, where he looked likely to reward market support but the race slipped from his grasp late on; major chance off the same mark back at 7f. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Fair form at Newmarket in his two runs last October; edged out a 1-3 favourite in novice at Lingfield (1m, AW) in May and led over 2f out when easily following up in a five-runner handicap on the turf track there (1m1f, good to firm) five weeks ago; up 9lb and into a much more competitive race but it's hard to pin down exactly how good he is. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
From a speedy family; improved upon last backend's two Newmarket efforts when coming away with a long odds-on favourite to win on his Polytrack comeback here (1m) last month; taken out since on account of unsuitable (good) ground; remains open to improvement now handicapping. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Got up to beat the favourite with the pair clear last week at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and he's unexposed at this trip; may well defy the penalty but softening ground could complicate matters. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-15 but he wasn't discredited when a staying-on third of six in 5f Musselburgh handicap 17 days ago; has his stamina to prove over this markedly longer trip, though. |

3rd 6 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
14-race maiden; second in a C&D novice in 2025, but has raced mainly over further since; beaten over 7l back over 5f at Newmarket last time; bit to prove. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won two in a row at Newmarket (6f/7f, good to firm) this summer but he was well held in his hat-trick bid there (fourth of six) last month; that was behind a big improver, but he needs to find more to defy this mark and is untried on AW. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Thriving on this course this summer, and beat Lion Of Mali a neck over C&D three weeks ago; edging up the weights only slowly and should give another good account of himself. |
100/30 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
7f 2yo winner who kept on well to win in a small field here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; this is more competitive but he did it cosily under Ryan Moore, who remains on board, and the return to 7f may be a plus. |
