15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has been useful in his time and is now 20lb lower than at this stage last year, but for good reason; best watched until showing a bit more spark. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
2yo and early-season 3yo form was good but, after a layoff later last term, he's not beaten many in his six races since; 15lb below his peak mark and this is a new trip but others have to make more appeal. |

Of major interest on 2yo/early-season 3yo form, including Polytrack, but the wheels have come off in the last 12 months; drops in class today but he has a point to prove for now. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Useful on AW/turf but was below par last time and seems weighted to the hilt back in this sphere; beaten off current mark (finished fifth of 12) in this race 12 months ago. |
12/1 |

10th 1 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Tough 7yo with a fine C&D record; might have needed the run at Glorious Goodwood after five months off, and fared much better when fourth at Chester two weeks ago; that should have put him spot-on for this and he has real each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (10) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
First of two wins over C&D came in this contest in 2024 off 4lb lower; had a fruitful AW winter campaign; reported to have met with a setback when being readied for Chester's May meeting and returned only when beating just one home in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) recently; has a high draw to contend with here and is 3lb higher than his last winning mark. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced on slow ground; won two handicaps in a row at Meydan (1m1f/9.5f, good) in February before Group 2 second there (1m1f, good) and he returned from a break with good third in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); things haven't gone to plan on his two starts since but a line can be put through Goodwood as he got no run; interesting contender. |
20/1 |

7th 6 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won two handicaps in a row at Meydan (1m1f/9.5f, good) in February before Group 2 second there (1m1f, good); returned from break with good third in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); flopped at Sandown four weeks ago but very much of interest on his earlier form. |

6th 2 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |

In great form since wearing cheekpieces, completing a handicap double at Meydan then running well in better races, latest at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm; Listed) back on home soil; solid claims in the retained headgear. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent type who arrives on a high after coming from the rear to win convincingly off lower turf mark at Newmarket (7f) in July; 7lb higher here but he's just as effective at 1m and not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
1st 4 (9) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
In-form 7yo who has reached the frame in his last three runs including when third of 11 in a C&D handicap (good to firm) three weeks ago; finished ahead of Exposure in that race and he has each-way claims again. |
4/1 |

3rd 5 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Gained last three wins on Newcastle AW; ran respectably back there on latest start; has bits of encouraging turf form this term but it's over two years since his last success in this sphere. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won over Chester's extended 7f in May and ran well in the Bunbury Cup in July; however, he was well held in France last time and his AW record leaves a bit to be desired; needs the first-time tongue-strap (replacing cheekpieces) to have a positive effect. |
12/1 |
|
4th 10 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Performed well (first and third) at Chester in last two turf attempts and may be capable of further progress returned to this sphere; helps to give his connections, who also run Aalto, a robust hand. |
9/1 |
|
7th 3 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Good effort to win a 7.6f handicap at Chester on his reappearance and he ran to a similar level when third back there (7f) four weeks ago; today's stiffer test at the trip will suit and he has shown promise on AW. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has been unable to sustain early progress and is 0-7 since debut success; ran respectably on penultimate start and is on a reduced mark but chance of doubling his tally largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |
12/1 |
|
10th 11 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; won debut on Southwell AW; close fourth on handicap debut there (1m) last October is markedly better than what he's done in three starts since, but he made late gains over 7f at Musselburgh on latest start to prompt some hope given today's step up in trip. |
18/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Successful 7f debut at Southwell; just a handful of starts since, showing useful form when fourth of ten on handicap debut in a warm race on Southwell AW in October only to run poorly next time; likely to come on for last week's Kempton run but now needs to show he can hack it on turf. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Added to his excellent course record with two more wins this year, including this trip; another excellent effort here when chasing home Gamrai over 1m3f in March, with next-time-out winners behind in third/fourth; fair fourth of nine at Newcastle (1m2f) when last seen in June and much respected back at Kempton. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (10) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Added to his excellent Kempton record with wins over 1m3f and 1m4f this year; another cracking effort there when chasing home the progressive Gamrai over 1m3f in March; probably worth ignoring a recent run on turf but his peak AW form (including all wins) has been achieved on Polytrack. |
16/1 |

13th 9 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |

Fine from 1m to 1m4f; has won on turf but the AW looks more his scene and especially Kempton where he beat all bar a handicap snip the last time; back on grass others look safer. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |

Smart handicapper at his peak but his form tailed off in the second half of 2025; has a reduced mark to work with as a result but the betting is perhaps the best guide after 198 days off. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Best form has come on AW and he hung left when 3l last of six at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May last time; however, the trip appeared to stretch him and he's off the same mark as for his win at Wolverhampton (8.4f, AW) in March; not written off back at 1m in first-time cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Broadly progressive, mostly at about 1m and on AW, until posting duck eggs in last two outings; may prove resurgent back down in grade, and pedigree suggests the return to 1m2f is worth a go. |
4/1 |
|
17th 8 (17) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Having been gelded last autumn he enjoyed a good stint on AW, winning twice (1m/8.6f); soundly beaten at Newcastle (1m, AW) last time and he needs to transfer his improvement back to turf, but he remains lightly raced for his top yard and is not discounted under Ryan Moore. |

Two wins last summer and he showed spark as recently as this April; he's dropped to a dangerous mark but has failed to shine on his last three outings and arrives with something to prove. |

7th 1 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Well treated on the form he showed last August, including win at Haydock and close third at the York Ebor festival; absent since finishing rather tamely over C&D two months ago. |
