3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins on turf came on testing ground in France and his best efforts in Britain have been on the AW, including a win at Kempton in October; below par in recent starts and has been dropped another 2lb. |

His best efforts in Britain have been on AW and he was ideally suited by testing ground when trained in France; none too consistent, either. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Has shown most of his AW form at Kempton but ran creditably at Southwell most recently; makes Wolverhampton debut with a tongue-tie replacing usual hood; brings uncertainty. |

3rd 4 (1) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Ended 2025 with two good placed efforts at Kempton; not at the same level at Lingfield last month and he has a bit more to prove on Tapteta. |

Scored at Kempton (7f) in April and right back on song of late, edged out only very late on when runner-up in similar event there last month; must enter calculations despite a 2lb weights rise. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Got back on the scoresheet at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) last month and he backed that up with a 2l fifth from off the pace at Doncaster three weeks ago; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he gets some luck. |
3/1 |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Resumed winning ways in 14-runner handicap at Wetherby (7f) 16 days ago; up 5lb but scored cosily there so this strong traveller is a likely player again for his in-form yard. |

7f and 1m winner on good; has been unable to return to the heights of his most recent win at York last July, in six subsequent starts; back on a handy mark; could be better for his reappearance and is not written off. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He's dropped to a mark fully 15lb lower than when a close fourth over C&D last August; however, this regressive 5yo has struggled to get competitive this year; a first-time visor replaces a tongue-tie. |
7/1 |
|
7th 5 (10) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Should be well handicapped but that has been the case for a while and his losing run stretches back 18 months; attracted support at Yarmouth last month (7f, good) but fared no better; now tried in a tongue-tie. |
12/1 |
|
8th 1 (10) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins in 2024 but he has drawn a blank since; returns to his optimum trip off a reduced mark and this is his first Class 5 handicap for some time; not solid but he has the ability to go well. |

Listed winner in Ireland as a 2yo who regressed sharply for Jamie Osborne; been off for four four months since well held over C&D and the change of scenery will need to have done the trick. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Useful on his day and is a stone below last winning mark but looks far from sure to take advantage, having failed to beat a rival in latest start; yet to score on AW. |
14/1 |
|
6 (11) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
7-36 on turf and 0-15 on the AW, albeit in the frame on 12 occasions; 2lb lower than when chasing home Al Ameen over C&D in May, but has a high draw so others are preferred for win purposes. |
12/1 |

6th 5 (11) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Patchy form since last win over a year ago and cheekpeices now replaced by first-time visor; edging down the weights but may find one or two too good from double-figure draw. |

British form figures 2221321; returned from a slightly less productive stint in Dubai to narrowly edge out Sergeant Pep in a 7f Class 4 at Lingfield (13-8 favourite) ten days ago; with consistency being his forte, he should be one the premises once again from just 2lb higher. |

7f novice win at Kempton last August and he showed better form in two handicaps there last autumn; down the field in two runs in Dubai this year but he looks a key player back on British soil. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden and novice winner who is yet to win a handicap but last time's third of 14 at Newbury (7f, good to firm; fourth has won since) was his best run of this term; far from ruled out off a career-low mark. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (10) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
He's gone 0-12 in handicaps but is edging down the weights and ran well to finish fourth of ten at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time (form has been franked); this season's runs have been in Class 3s so this is a drop in grade. |

9st 8lb |
Gained a deserved first win since 2024 in 1m apprentices' handicap at Ascot a week ago, when well on top at the finish; escapes a penalty and is able to race off 2lb lower than last time, so he's very hard to side against. |
10/11 |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
7f AW novice winner in 2024 but 0-17 subsequently; in the frame at 7f on his last four starts, though, and he stays 1m; due for a 2lb drop but still considered. |
4/1 |

4th 3 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

7f AW novice winner at two; 0-16 in handicaps but yet another sound effort in defeat last time at Newmarket (7f, good); handicapped about right but one of these can come his way. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Useful form in his early outings but well held in three well-spaced-out starts in handicaps, the latest for this trainer; switch to cheekpieces will need to make a big difference. |
25/1 |

7th 7 (6) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Useful form on his first two starts, winning a 7f maiden at Newcastle (September 2024) before a good fourth under a penalty one month later; life has been tougher on his last three starts and he returns for a new trainer after five months off. |
33/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Both turf wins have come at Doncaster, the second in the corresponding event 12 months ago; wouldn't judge him too harshly on York last time and the return to this track and Class 5 company could see him rebound. |

19th 16 (19) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Behind on his only run here (2023); Doncaster last June saw his only turf win since 2021, amidst plenty of AW success admittedly but he was out of form in February when last seen; has a competitive mark but other cases look a bit more solid, particularly as he's drawn wide. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |

Good-ground 7f Newbury handicap winner off 1lb higher for Charlie Clover last term but, after rejoining Jane Chapple-Hyam, he found Meydan a struggle in the winter; weakened to be beaten 8l in amateur riders' event at Chester (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago but that was his stable debut after three months off and he's down to a career-low mark; might step forward so watch the market. |
25/1 |

9th 1 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
A fair 7f scorer for Charlie Clover in 2025; little show in a trio of runs in Meydan for Jane Chapple-Hyam early this year though; since changed hands for 10,000gns and he starts out for another new yard with more needed in first-timne cheekpieces. |

9st 7lb |
Won first time out twice in the past, which is a positive back from seven months off, although he's getting on now; a long time since he was seen regularly on turf and doesn't run at shy of 1m often, meaning others have more pressing claims. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Had an AW double (one here) over about 1m last summer but his latest two outings for his new yard have been moderate; another furlong would have been preferable, even if leaving those efforts behind. |
