22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Dual winner for the Gosdens (C&D then over 7f in Qatar); uncompetitive of late and this is a deep race in which to try and bounce back; cheekpieces return. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins for the Gosdens, namely a 1m AW novice and a 7f handicap in Qatar; two runs since returning to Europe have been underwhelming though, albeit both have been tough assignments, and Native American may be the stable's main hope. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple C&D winner, the latest last August when rated 5lb higher; obvious chance if anywhere near that level but he has been struggling more recently; the return to 1m2f will help but not a solid option. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has done nearly all his winning at about 1m2f, most recently last August; inconsistent since but drops back in grade off a workable mark; stayed on for creditable effort in sole attempt over 1m4f. |
16/1 |

11th 6 (9) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Eight-time AW winner and first and second in two of his four races here; didn't run at all badly last time at Lingfield (1m2f) but looks vulnerable at the minute in a race of this nature. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Things didn't pan out his way on first crack at 1m4f here last time (AW) and that was another in-form effort; has found his level again but wants a good test over this trip, he hasn't won in a long time and has become inconsistent on turf. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten half a length or less in his last three goes on the AW (7f-9.5f), but losing run up to 22 and has never attempted this far before; others safer. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has gone close recently and was only beaten half a length at Lingfield (1m, AW) 13 days ago but is without a win since landing a Group 3 for the Gosdens three years ago; looks sure to be thereabouts once again. |

All three wins, and top five RPRs, achieved here; found just the favourite too strong following a gelding operation last time; major claims despite 4lb rise. |
4/1 |

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

Gelded since last run; best at Kempton and has a record of 11142 here, most recently going very close off 5lb higher in March; attractively treated and enters calculations returned to his ideal location. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has improved his rating almost every time, on last two outings taking second in strong 1m handicaps at Newcastle (AW) and Thirsk (good to firm); came from almost last when closing to half a length in 13-runner race last time and looks well capable of a prominent finish here despite 2lb rise. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (11) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
7f course winner on good to firm last summer and has done little but progress since, winning over 1m at Southwell on New Year's Day; excellent second of 14 at Newcastle (1m again) since, with reopposing Flight Plan and Apiarist in behind; should continue the good work back on turf; top of the list. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (13) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
The winner of four of his eight starts and he had a bit to spare when rewarding odds-on favourite backers at Southwell on New Year's Day; unlikely this mark will prove beyond him in time; solid candidate. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
He needs to produce more than he's managed back on turf on his last two starts but prior to those he was a good second at Kempton (7f, AW) in March, and he won on grass at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last May; capable of having a say if getting back to his best. |
11/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent of late on the AW, runner-up at Kempton in October and March, but his turf efforts have been more up and down; never better than midfield in Spring Cup at Newbury two weeks ago and only 1lb lower today. |
16/1 |
|
12th 23 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Equally effective at 7f and 1m and arrives in good form from the AW; could be thereabouts again, although he finished behind several of these when only seventh in this race 12 months ago. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

1m looks worth revisiting; didn't get the rub of the green over 7f last time but bouncing back from the widest stall won't be easy. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
5f/6f wins at two and was close up in a Group 2; hasn't looked well handicapped this season and seems to be treading water; the cheekpieces tried last time are left off. |

1 (11) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Mid-division in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot on sole crack at 1m (good to firm) and fair fourth at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) since; however, improvement is necessary today in first-time cheekpieces. |

9st 3lb |
Only had to reproduce what he'd done twice before to readily get off the mark at Chelmsford last time (1m), following gelding operation and wind surgery; needs to pull out more now handicapping but that's entirely possible; yard took this in 2023. |
15/2 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Went very close here (7f) on debut in November and was placed on dirt in UAE (1m/9.5f) on next two outings; below form when 4-9 favourite on latter occasion but was given wind and gelding operations during subsequent seven-month break; will be hard to beat here if back on song. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Another prominent racer; now a seven-time winner on the AW after this year's wins over C&D and at Wolverhampton (8.6f); those were Class 4s but he's got a canny habit of never winning by far so remains on a fair mark. |
7/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Having slipped down the weights he returned to winning ways with a comfortable success at Lingfield (1m) four weeks ago; up 4lb but not handicapped out of things. |
5/2 |

1st 5 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

Has dropped to a dangerous mark, 8lb lower than when last successful, but losing run up to 11 and he was behind three of these at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 13 days ago. |

Progressed during a light campaign last season and turned in a career-best effort over this trip for the first time at Ayr (good to firm) ten days ago; holds decent claims upped 3lb under 3lb claimer Jack Callan, who's enjoying a fine season and is 10-44 for the yard. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Hit hard by the handicapper after winning at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last May; ran well fresh when third at Kempton (1m, Class 4) in October but held in better quality races since, including at Newmarket 18 days ago; moves beyond a mile for the first time. |
11/1 |

10th 12 (10) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Signed off 2025 with a low-key effort but he'd previously won convincingly at Haydock (good to firm) and run well when third at Kempton (AW), both over 1m; not ruled out if cherry ripe after 192 days off. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

9th 8 (10) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Tailed off in two races since winning off 7lb lower at Newbury last August (1m; in first-time cheekpieces which are now absent); might be high enough in the ratings even if all the better for being gelded; absent since October. |
40/1 |
|
14 (1) |
22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Won two of his first three handicaps and may have been undone by slower ground last time (drifted to 4-1; subsequently taken out of a race due to it being soft); perhaps best watched on AW debut, for all that his half-brother has won twice on Tapeta. |
