24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Strong 6f form here until a disappointing run eight days ago, tanking through the race but finding little off the bridle; should be fine back at 5f and he remains on a dangerous mark. |

9th 7 (3) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Has turf form but starting to look like an AW specialist, rewarding market support when seeing off Heavenly Heather and 11 others over C&D two months ago; weighted to confirm the form with his old adversary and he is still 2lb lower than for his fine C&D second last May; strong claims. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Began his time with Julie Camacho with two solid runs in the spring, notably when second of 13 at Newcastle (6f); things have gone south since, albeit in top sprints, and a wind operation didn't arrest the slide at Haydock four weeks ago; cheekpieces return (ran well over 7f here in one previous use); stable also runs Solar Aclaim. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who has a strike-rate of 12-34 overall and 3-4 at York, the most recent course success in 7f Group 3 last June (equally effective at 6f); ties in with some of today's opponents on penultimate effort; removal of usual hood backfired last time; likely to go well. |

6th 6 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner whose 12 wins include a Group 3 at York (7f, good) last June; he was an excellent third of 19 in the Group 1 Champions Sprint at Ascot (6f) in October; has since run up to his best in a 5f AW race at Newcastle in January and it will be interesting to see how he gets on back at this trip on turf with his regular hood discarded; ran creditably in 6f Group 3 at Newmarket last time. |
8/1 |

3rd 9 (5) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Very useful front-runner whose strike-rate is 12-32; bagged Group 3 honours at York (7f) last June and a valuable pot at Doha (6f) most recently; unbeaten (4-4) in 6f contests on the Newmarket courses and has shown that he can win in sizeable fields; likely to make a bold bid back here. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won six 5f handicaps here in 2025; only 1lb higher than for the latest of them but he is rarely seen over 6f and connections now turn to a tongue tie for the first time. |
7/1 |

5th 3 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Boasts a fine record over 5f here, winning in December and reaching the frame on all three outings this year; 6f AW winner for previous stable but has raced almost exclusively at the minimum trip for Nigel Tinkler; should be on the premises if still fully effective at 6f. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Smart sprinter on his day; built on his return from a 510-day absence when fourth of six at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in December but he was slightly below that level at Newcastle (5f, AW) 39 days ago; now has his usual hood removed. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Smart sprinter on his day; absent for 510 days prior to his reappearance at Southwell in November; well beaten there but latest Wolverhampton fourth was a step back in the right direction; not discounted. |

6th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
In and out overall, but on a going day when winning this race last year (good ground) in emphatic fashion; also won Musselburgh handicap off top weight in March and has had possible excuses since (usual hood left off last time); could bounce back with the excellent Billy Loughnane a positive booking. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2025 with two good AW runs at Kempton; down the field in three AW starts this year and he had been given a wind op before weakening on his return to turf at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago; nothing wrong with this mark and he drops in grade but the jury's out at the moment. |
16/1 |

7th 10 (1) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Ended 2025 with two good AW runs at Kempton; down the field in three AW runs this year but he has had a wind op since last seen; unplaced in four turf runs but the defeats have been in good races and he has shown promise on grass; well drawn and his 7lb lower turf mark heightens interest. |
8/1 |
|
10th 2 (3) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Below best on both runs this year but failed to settle at Kempton last time, when a wide draw also didn't help; twice went close at Kempton (6f) towards the end of last year and this C&D winner is not written off. |
13/2 |
