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. |
25/1 |

10th 6 (6) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won three times in December (1m/1m4f) and continued in good form, getting back on the scoresheet in a five-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month; didn't run badly over 2m at Kempton last Saturday; drops back in trip here and may find today's company to be too competitive. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Basically progressive in a busy winter AW campaign and probably stays 2m, although the last three wins were over 1m4f (twice) and 1m6f (latest start); raised another 3lb but needs respect. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All eight wins have been on AW but he's lost his way with heavy defeats at Newcastle (12.4f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in last two runs; still lightly raced on turf but he needs a major revival back in this sphere. |
20/1 |
|
11th 2 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner over 1m4f/1m5f here and Taryn Langley gets on well with him, but he has never attempted this far before and he must put an uncharacteristically poor effort at Newcastle 13 days ago behind him. |
16/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Reliable 6yo, who won three times (1m4f/1m5f) during a busy spell this winter and he ran another solid race when runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last Friday; should go well again on this drop back in trip and he's respected with Hollie Doyle booked. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
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 were on last two outings but his turf form still needs improvement. |
6/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Something amiss on sole start here (2024); very busy since and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW (which has dominated career) and his turf form needs improvement. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 32y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Prominent racer who posted four wins in the second half of last year, including a C&D defeat of Charging Thunder on good; suffered a heavy defeat on AW last time but it was in a strong Good Friday race at Newcastle and Charging Thunder was once again behind him; a bold show seems likely in these much calmer waters back on turf. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Not the most consistent but won off this mark over C&D in October and ran well at Lingfield on penultimate outing; a bit below form when hooded first time 15 days ago in a small field; player if it's one of his good days. |
25/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not the most consistent but won off 1lb lower mark at Kempton (2m) in October; returned to form when third of eight at Lingfield (2m) two weeks ago; first-time hood now goes on and another to consider. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Saw off reopposing stablemate Enemy when successful over 2m at Kempton in October but down the field in a series final there at the beginning of December and eased off after hanging left under pressure at Newcastle last month; hard to know what to expect. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Dual hurdle winner who is 0-4 in handicaps; however, he should be on a fair mark given the level of his Flat ability and he ran quite well in a valuable Newmarket handicap at the Guineas meeting; player. |
9/4 |
|
7th 9 (8) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Had underwhelming hurdle and AW campaigns before his second of five when returned to Flat turf at Beverley (2m) 18 days ago; this demands markedly better and his 2024 and 2025 turf records aren't that persuasive. |
25/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 32y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Second to Sax Appeal over C&D and successful over 1m6f at Wolverhampton (both off 2lb higher than today) last July; it's hard to be enthused by his more recent efforts, including well held at Newcastle on Good Friday, but this is a much less competitive scenario. |
