1st 7 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Well beaten at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month but he was in good heart previously, finishing fourth at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) two starts ago where the trip appeared to stretch him; possible player. |
7/1 |
|
27th 13 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Gelded prior to showing improvement and performing solidly (12134) over 7f-1m1f this year, mostly on AW, including a good effort on finals day at Newcastle; respectable fourth at Newmarket returned to turf and again looks likely to give his running. |

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. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He was making his seasonal debut when only fifth in this race 12 months ago but he's been kept on the go this winter and has been better than ever; suspicion others will prove better handicapped here though. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
He has been a fine servant to connections and added wins eight and nine to his tally in 2025, the latest a 1m handicap at Kempton in November; ran as well as he ever has when second to an upwardly mobile 4yo over C&D five weeks ago but even that effort will need bettering in this field. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has failed to build on an eye-catching reappearance effort but seemed to be outstayed over 1m2f most recently; unlucky second in the C&D Britannia at this meeting last year (good to firm; might well have won but for traffic issues) and looks very interesting back here, bidding for compensation. |
9/1 |
|
8th 9 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Unlucky second in last year's Britannia at Royal Ascot then caught the eye on reappearance; hasn't exactly lived up to expectations in two starts since but remains of interest assuming this new scenario (steps up from 1m) prompts a positive effect; too soon to give up on him. |
7/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Went close in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June on his fourth start; not seen again until a good fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) this March, despite a slow start and having to come very wide in the straight; disappointing favourite in the Lincoln at Doncaster three weeks later, perhaps with the good to soft ground against him but overall improvement is required moving from handicaps into this Group 3. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

AW form this year features two wins in January and creditable fifth in the Lincoln Trial; only 1-14 on turf and looks unfavourably handicapped, being 4lb higher than last appearance in this sphere. |
20/1 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1m Polytrack wins at Chelmsford and Kempton in January; respectable fifth in Class 2 events on last two starts, including over 8.6f here 13 days ago but it remains to be seen whether this step up in trip will suit him. |
7/1 |
|
5th 12 (9) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Well-beaten seventh in 1m4f Group 2 at this meeting on final run last year; won handicap at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in February, has held his form and had possible excuses, while also appearing as if he's well worth another go at 1m4f, so he's given a second look despite needing overall improvement. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Two novice wins on turf and he made it 3-6 when scoring at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in February on his second handicap start; solid fourth to The Glen Rovers at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last month and, while improvement is necessary today, this is just his ninth run and he may have more left in the tank. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won his first two starts for Karl Burke last year but he hasn't kicked on from his handicap debut second (1m, good to soft) last September (RPR 95); sold for 22,000gns in April; drops in class but not a solid option. |
14/1 |
|
19th 3 (17) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Has been unable to sustain his early progress, most recently out of the money when a 20-1 shot in the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton; needs to raise his game. |
25/1 |

7th 10 (3) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |

Free-going sort who has won two of his six starts; should be sharper with last month's Southwell reappearance behind him and still has some potential. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Smart performer on AW, winning this race in 2024 and third 12 months ago; cheekpieces have given him a lift of late, winning a 7f handicap at Kempton ten days ago; still on a handy mark and he is sure to be popular. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Goes well fresh and should cope if it gets tactical given all three of his C&D wins were achieved in single-figure fields; pushing two years since he last got his head in front but the handicapper is giving him a chance and he responded well to first-time cheekpieces (retained here) when fifth over track and trip last time; of significant interest. |
7/2 |

1 (10) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 4-13 on AW and 3-4 at Kempton; below par returned to this sphere ten weeks ago and losing run is mounting up but a revival would put him in the picture; 1lb below last winning mark. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time turf winner who scored off 1lb higher over C&D last autumn; took a while to get going this season but he's been placed at with cheekpieces added in his last two runs (1m, good to firm); usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets some luck. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Had a fine year in 2025 and he spent the spring in the handicapper's claws; offered more encouragement when tried in cheekpieces at Newbury (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago; should have a big run in him. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A 2025 campaign that featured five wins was always going to be a hard act to follow and he has found it tough going so far this year; has slipped back to a winning mark though and cheekpieces are now given a go. |

Four wins over 7f/1m, two on the AW; fair third at Newmarket in April (1m, good) but not so good since; acts on any ground although withdrawn on account of the going (officially good to firm) last time. |

Dual winner at 1m who was dropped back down to 7f when he scored at Newmarket (good) in May; stayed on for third over that trip on the July course a fortnight ago so this first start at 6f is something of a surprise. |

Not straightforward but he is a capable performer on his day and he landed his first turf success when beating Silver Ghost on the Rowley course six weeks ago, again hanging right under pressure but full value for the neck winning margin; up 3lb but has the ability to feature. |
6/1 |

1st 7 (13) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
0-7 on turf and his best form (and both wins) has come on AW; below par on AW on last two starts and arrives with something to prove. |
