17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has faced a few difficult tasks this summer and he proved resurgent when back down in grade at York (1m2f) last time; remains on same mark as when winning a spring event; beaten twice (fifth in 2024, down the field last year) in this race, however. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Won at Pontefract back in the spring and ran well here in May, but the wheels have come off since then; has finished out the back here in last two races, behind stablemate Castle Stuart on both occasions. |

Won at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in April; respectable fifth of 15 over C&D (good) at the Dante meeting in May but well held twice since, latterly at 100-1 in the John Smith's Cup. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Has history in this race, having won it two seasons ago and only a length behind Night Breeze last year (good to firm; could have done with a truer gallop); just 2lb higher than 12 months ago and perhaps unwise to come down too harshly on his defeat at Royal Ascot, especially when his comeback run was so encouraging; shortlisted. |

13th 14 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner who mostly ran well last season and did so again when second at Pontefract (1m2f) on reappearance this April; each-way chance if he can avoid trouble from an inside stall. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Two AW wins in December and he returned to winning ways at Chester (10.3f, good) in July; not so good at Windsor five weeks ago and likely vulnerable to younger rivals. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had gone badly off the boil but back in a Class 4 he came from behind to score narrowly at Chester (extended 1m2f); if he's turned a corner then likely to have some say off 3lb higher. |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Rather disappointing kept to Ascot on penultimate start and he was well behind Manxman at York latest; however, returns to slightly calmer waters and has a fighting chance on best form. |
6/1 |
|
14th 15 (2) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Disappointed in this race last year and the form of his close third over C&D that September has not been matched; second of six at Ascot on penultimate start was his best show this term but he needs better than that. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won the Shergar Cup Stayers handicap over C&D last August and he was back to that level when second over 1m6f here (good to firm) a fortnight ago; remains on a competitive mark and needs respect. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
A good run of form last summer included a close second of 18 in a valuable 1m2f handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good; unraced on slower); however, he's failed to live up to that form since gelded and first-time cheekpieces (discarded now) may have been more of a hindrance than a help last time; capable but risky. |
12/1 |
|
12th 5 (13) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Went close at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) last July but well beaten in C&D Cambridgeshire in September; failed to settle and suffered interference on return, doing pretty well in the circumstances, but disappointing favourite at Pontefract 11 days ago; connections turn to cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive in last year's 3yo campaign, going close at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) in July; did pretty well to finish sixth on last month's return at Kempton (1m3f, AW) where he failed to settle and suffered interference; that run may have got the freshness out of him; on the shortlist. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Placed on both starts here and he continues to slide down the weights, but was beaten 17l into seventh of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last time and will need to do a good deal better than that; no headgear today. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 (11) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
His form deteriorated last year and he went 0-9; however, he's dropped down the weights and could improve for his recent comeback in a Listed race at Kempton (fourth); this C&D winner is not ruled out. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
7lb beneath the mark he defied at Sandown in July 2025 (1m2f, good to firm) but he's not made the same impact this season and now looks exposed; blinkers are turned to; others are way more intriguing. |
8/1 |
|
7th 11 (3) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Held up; picked up one 1m2f Sandown handicap in summer 2024 and 2025; hasn't quite had the same impact this season, including twice at that track and when tried in cheekpieces on latest start, but he is now 6lb below his peak mark and a case can be made. |
20/1 |

7th 7 (12) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |

Likes this C&D and won this race in 2024; creditable fourth to Stem here in July but then ran poorly at Ascot; now has cheekpieces fitted. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Very lightly raced, ex-French 5yo; up and down among his five British starts last season but ran some big races, including first time up, and he should be capable of winning off his current mark. |
9/1 |
|
13 (11) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Ex-French 4yo who has raced only six times; ran well on first two stable starts (including over 1m here on fast ground) and bounced back from Redcar flop with close second at Newcastle (1m2f, AW), where he may well have won with a clear run; unexposed at the trip and could have a part to play. |
