20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Listed winner in France; mostly rather vulnerable in handicaps for this yard, including over C&D in May, but he didn't get much of a run behind Fandom at Thirsk (good) next time and confirmed he was on the way back when leading near the line at Goodwood (also 6f, soft) two weeks ago; has quite a bit more to do under a penalty (3lb badly in). |

1st 1 (4) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Good third off this mark at Thirsk (6f, good) last week, doing best of those drawn in single figures and that despite meeting some trouble in running; has plenty of form on soft in France; one to take seriously. |
3/1 |

3rd 6 (2) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Having been gelded he made a promising reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month; failed to build on that when sixth at Ascot (6f, good) but he got upset in the stalls; well handicapped on his French form up to last July and he's not ruled out. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
His progress looked to have stalled after winning at Chester in July but he was back to his best when third at Goodwood 12 days ago, not really getting a clear run at things until it was too late; runs off the same mark here but he will have to prove himself on soft ground. |
8/1 |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Down the field at Doncaster four weeks ago but that was his first attempt at 7f and it was in a more competitive race than this; he had a 3-8 strike-rate previously (including 6f wins on good/good to soft) and this 3yo could bounce back with a bold show for his top yard. |
6/1 |

13th 8 (8) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Strike-rate of 3-8, with one of those wins on good to soft; endured a wide trip when placed at Chester last time but was beaten 4l and whether he wants 7f remains to be seen (confined to sprinting thus far). |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not the force of old but that is reflected in his handicap mark; has undergone wind surgery since his latest run but it isn't enough to earn him the vote in this competitive race; usual headgear is absent today. |
22/1 |

6th 4 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five visits here have resulted in three wins and two places, all at 6f; made an encouraging return when fourth of nine at Ripon three weeks ago and he's slipped to a dangerous mark; tempting. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All of his four wins have been at Yarmouth (6f, good/good to firm) and latest was in September 2024; well treated on old form but he had a mixed record last season and was well held in the autumn on his final two runs; has a bit to prove after six months off and others are preferred. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Capable of fairly useful form but finished last of 18 over C&D in final start for Jamie Osborne; sold for 18,000gns later in October; headgear switch; best watched. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won a heavy-ground handicap at Salisbury last month and backed it up with a good second at Newmarket; below that level at Goodwood 12 days ago and needs a full revival. |
20/1 |

4 (3) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Back to winning ways at Salisbury (6f, heavy) last month and second at Newmarket (6f, heavy) since; this in-form C&D winner has solid claims. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Three of his last four wins have come at Goodwood (6f; heavy and good ground); probably not too track dependent as he won at Newbury in May but he has more to find on his first run at Ascot, off another career-high mark in a daunting race. |
16/1 |
|
1st 6 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Justified favouritism (6f, good) on seasonal debut, taking Goodwood record to 3-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-12; a possible danger provided his progress can be sustained away from that track. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

A three-time winner for James Owen in 2025, signing off with a second C&D success in October; has a career-high mark to overcome on his seasonal return but not taken at all lightly. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Not the force of old but won over C&D (good) off 2lb higher in April and last week's second at Epsom (6f, good to firm) confirms he's back in form; bold show likely. |
11/4 |

2nd 1 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Not the force of old but won off 2lb higher at Catterick (6f, good) in April and beat his group when fifth overall in 14-runner Ayr handicap (6f, soft) last month; also suited by fast ground; can make his presence felt. |

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

Three-time C&D winner; successful at Catterick (6f, good) in April but held in more competitive races since; not handicapped out of things but might prove vulnerable for win purposes. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Successful over C&D on 2yo debut; 0-13 since but ran encouragingly at Windsor (6f) most recently, after a spell at Meydan; returns to this venue with a fighting chance off current mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 11 (8) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
0-12 since his wide-margin debut win as a 2yo but he ended 2025 with some good runs and went close in Dubai in December (6f, good to firm); his last two runs at Meydan weren't his best but a break may have freshened him up and he is on a dangerous mark. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Musselburgh (5f) in April but below form all three runs since, fourth of six at Haydock (5f) 11 days ago; this course winner is handily weighted if back on his A-game though. |
3/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last month and bounced back from lesser run at Newbury (6f, good) when sixth of ten at Thirsk (5f, good to firm), beaten just over 2l; back on slow ground today and could be in the mix. |
15/8 |
|
6th 4 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Easily saw off 11 rivals at Musselburgh last month (5f, soft), form that has received some boosts since; not well drawn when down the field at Newbury two weeks ago (6f, good); mark left alone and perhaps vulnerable over 5f on a quick surface. |
