11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Not seen to best effect when mid-division in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) last time out but prior to that he kept on well to make a winning reappearance at Haydock (7f, good to firm) and this very lightly raced 4yo retains potential, especially back up to 1m. |
4/1 |

10th 14 (26) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Found a gap on the inside and knuckled down well to justify favouritism at Haydock (good to firm) on sole start this term, taking overall record (AW/turf) to 3-5 and form figures over 7f to 1121; looks the type to improve further and commands respect up just 2lb. |

1st 9 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Began his career with two 7f AW wins and he was a fine second at Chester on his handicap debut last June (7f, good); fourth of 17 in a 1m handicap at Ascot when last seen nine months ago, a run that can be marked up as he raced away from the first three home; still has potential and he returns with his stable back in better form. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
His latest Newcastle defeat isn't the run to judge him on and he had been progressing well beforehand; no problem with the return to turf and stepping back up to 7f will be of benefit; interesting with cheekpieces now given a go. |
9/2 |
|
13th 8 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Unexposed and progressive handicapper who has two wins and two seconds to his name from four AW appearances; lost little in defeat at Kempton 16 days ago when chasing home a smart rival who was winning the race for the fourth time; a stiff 6f should be fine but stall 1 might not be beneficial given the forecast of a brisk crosswind; stable also runs Ferrous. |
7/1 |

2nd 5 (1) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Ridden forward and improved each of his three starts last year, achieving a first and second over C&D before seeing off Serengeti at Wolverhampton (also 7f); looks set to make an even better 4yo and prove tough to beat. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Ran well, only a neck behind Elarak, in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot to maintain his solid record in headgear; good second in the Victoria Cup the time before; threatening to win a big prize; shortlisted. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 9 (23) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Versatile as regards ground; has a good record in blinkers and ran well switched to a visor (retained today) last time, finishing only 1l behind The Wizard Of Eye in the Victoria Cup and taking form figures over C&D to 242; solid contender who again has frame possibilities. |
16/1 |

2nd 9 (12) |

Six-time winner, including in first-time blinkers at Glorious Goodwood; close third at Haydock (7f) with reappearance under his belt, paving the way nicely for a crack at this prize; has made the frame in both C&D attempts; possibilities in new headgear (visor). |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Two wins at Goodwood last autumn and admirably consistent in defeat this season, going close in a big field over C&D (good) then finishing fifth in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm; second of 20 in group); there is every chance that he will be bang there. |
3/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a Goodwood double during his 2025 campaign; good second in notable handicap at the York Dante festival (1m, good) most recently, going down by only a neck; he's paying the price for his consistency, however, with the assessor failing to relent. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Following an encouraging reappearance fifth at Haydock in April he was beaten a long way on his final two starts for Ed Bethell; however, he's well treated on last season's form and perhaps he'll have been revived by a change of scenery; market check advised on stable debut. |
20/1 |

11th 1 (11) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Won novice events at Kempton (7f, AW) and over C&D (good) for Roger Varian last summer but has mixed record in handicaps since; made a promising stable debut when fifth at Haydock in April but he was a long way below that form in another Class 2 event at Ascot last month; now drops back in grade but regular hood is removed and he comes with risks attached. |
8/1 |
|
25th 12 (18) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who ties in with Great Acclaim on a stable/seasonal debut effort at Haydock that took his form figures over 7f to 1135; may resume progress with that outing under his belt; one to consider, especially if the market signals speak positively. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has won over 1m but raced mainly at 7f; not solid on 2026 form and he came up short when a 50-1 shot in big field at York most recently; opposed in another competitive race, back up in trip. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |

Slow starter; on a long losing run; creditable effort at Chester four weeks ago but this stiff 7f isn't sure to suit. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

Slow-starter; on a dangerous mark but he is without a win since October 2023 and one 7f run didn't see him improve for the trip. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Close third in Listed company at Wolverhampton last month on his first attempt at 7f and he wasn't beaten for a lack of stamina; not at his best in a hot sprint handicap at Newcastle on Good Friday; no surprise to see him bounce back with a big run. |
10/1 |
|
8th 5 (9) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Did well in early 2025 on AW, winning a C&D handicap in good style and following up in Listed company at Lingfield; finished third in the corresponding race 12 months ago when rated 5lb higher; running himself back into form this winter, most recently a close third over 7f four weeks ago, and he looks primed to give Clifford Lee a winning return to the saddle. |
6/1 |

3rd 4 (6) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 1 |

Strong AW form in the first half of 2025; awkward leaving the stalls in his two runs this winter and the form has been well short of his best; steps up to 7f for the first time. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Top handicap form for the Crisfords in 2023, including at York; absent for 1038 days prior to his Haydock return in April and duly well beaten; better run here at the Dante meeting and he should be at concert pitch now. |
40/1 |
|
9th 10 (16) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |

Won this for the Crisfords in 2023 when 1lb higher; missed all of 2024 and 2025 and down the field at 40-1 on last month's stable debut at Haydock; he may have needed that run but has to prove how much ability he retains. |
66/1 |

11th 8 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |

Progressive handicapper for the Crisfords and he was last seen finishing second in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) in June 2023; sold for 20,000gns in May 2024; only dropped 3lb during his 1038-day absence; likely best watched. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

33/1 |

12th 4 (12) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |

Won a valuable pot as a 2yo; slow to come to hand as a 3yo but he changed yards last summer and made an impressive winning return from a gelding operation last September (6f, good to soft; cheekpieces on for the first time); fine reappearance when third in the Listed Cammidge Trophy at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; raised 3lb for his troubles and still has to prove his stamina for 7f. |
