6th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Sometimes hangs left but is moving in the right direction and comfortably justified favouritism over C&D in December, recording a first win since joining shrewd current connections; good second on trials day at Newcastle (kept to 2m) since; may improve further at this trip; respected. |

2nd 7 (6) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Had been running well in defeat before outclassing his five rivals in a Class 4 at Wolverhampton (2m); 5lb higher this time in a stronger contest but looks a good bet to give his running. |

2nd 1 (10) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Fourth in this race last year off the same mark; fine efforts when runner-up in February on first two starts (2m, AW) since rejoining this yard, but reportedly made a respiratory noise next time and, following his third wind operation, he was a soundly beaten outsider in Listed race four weeks ago; others seem more solid. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Fine efforts when runner-up in 2m AW handicaps in February on first two starts since rejoining this yard; reportedly made a respiratory noise at Musselburgh in April and he's had a third wind operation since; however, even if returning to form, a career-best if needed from this 6yo today. |

6th 4 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
A poor show last May prompted a second wind operation and it was a solid campaign otherwise; never better than when second this February in 2m AW handicaps at Wolverhampton and Lingfield, but peak turf form isn't far behind it and he'll probably be on the premises. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won 1m4f/2m handicaps on the AW early this year; beaten just over 7l in hot handicaps at Carlisle (1m3f) and Royal Ascot (1m6f) on last two outings, shaping much better than ninth of 16 suggests in the latter (big move to dispute lead early in straight) but his turf strike-rate is 3-37. |
33/1 |

9th 9 (18) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won 1m4f/2m handicaps on the AW (3-36 on turf) earlier this year but this is a different ball game altogether and his run at Carlisle 17 days ago was no more than average; plenty of others appeal more. |
50/1 |

9th 2 (12) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Durable veteran who won twice on the AW early this year; however, he was soundly beaten at Newcastle on Good Friday and faces some unexposed rivals on his return to turf. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Back on the mark he defied over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in March but recent efforts haven't been obviously encouraging, for all the 7f trip of the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot is almost certainly too short for him these days. |
33/1 |
|
19th 27 (27) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Effective at 7f earlier in career but seems to need much further now and gained last three wins over 1m4f/1m6f (stays 2m); still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf in any case and looks unlikely to figure in this hot prize, back down sharply in distance. |
66/1 |
|
9th 6 (11) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Moving up to 1m4f worked well in December and comparable form at 1m6f/2m since, including another win three starts back; he's come up a bit short in warmer races this year, though, including behind Align The Stars at Kempton, and none of his turf form (admittedly at up to 1m2f) is close to this mark. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-time AW winner, including thrice at Southwell; close third in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle last weekend when returned to this sphere; back up 2lb but takes a drop back in grade; solid chance. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four (one here) over 2m in 2025; AW has dominated his career; three of his last four turf starts were respectable and he's edging down the weights, so not entirely dismissed. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW which has dominated his career; best turf ratings two and three runs back before tailed off (might have overdone it up front) at Goodwood latest; again has just four rivals today but others are preferred. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Prolific 8yo who gained his 11th success when taking 1m4f Ripon handicap in April; also effective at 2m this term, including C&D, but he's edged back up the weights; place player but he may be vulnerable for win purposes. |
