6f AW win on his stable debut in November; added to his tally when seeing off five rivals at Chepstow 16 days ago (Class 4; 5f, good to soft); in deeper today. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Done his winning on the AW but is fine on turf; not best drawn when behind All Ways Glamorous at Ascot in the spring (now 2lb worse off) before not looking to see out 6f last time; needs a career-best off his current mark but this is less competitive. |
6/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has done most of his racing on AW (4-20) but seems at least as effective on turf and he went close at Chepstow three weeks ago; all wins over 5f but he tends to finish strongly and should be just as good at 6f; may not be fully exposed and the booking of young Aussie star Zac Lloyd catches the eye. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; should be well treated now but that has been the case for a while and he keeps finding one or two too strong; conditions no problem and likely to give his running again; stable also run Savannah Smiles. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Losing run up to 13, but running well in defeat lately and fared best of those on his side when fourth of nine at Chepstow (5f, soft) 11 days ago; record over C&D reads 314; player. |
4/1 |

C&D winner who arrives in decent nick, leading long way when third of five over C&D eight days ago; must enter calculations off the same mark. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Multiple sprint winner who coped well with the rise in grade (Class 2) at Windsor on Monday and gets in here off a 3lb lower mark; that was from off the pace but can race prominently (drawn in 1); good chance. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Multiple wins at sprint trips; they were all in lower grades than today but he's not badly treated, even from 3lb wrong, and the slower the ground the better his chance against some who prefer good ground. |
13/2 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven turf wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; not in peak form on AW this year but last autumn's wins at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Leicester (5f, soft) make him of firm interest off this mark. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two turf wins last summer and three AW wins this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in April; ran well when third of five at Salisbury next time but two lesser runs have followed and he needs to raise his game. |
20/1 |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has won over 6f and 5f on the AW since March and he's perfectly capable on turf, though perhaps not on ground easier than good judged on latest run at Chepstow. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His four wins have all come over 6f on the AW and he's 0-10 on turf; having a rare start over 5f tonight and will need to improve on recent efforts. |
8/1 |

4th 3 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All four wins have been over 6f on the AW, the most recent at Kempton in March; below his best on turf in recent starts but did have an excuse (saddle slipped) at Bath four days ago; best watched. |
14/1 |
|
9th 1 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All four wins have been on AW over 6f; below form back on turf on his last two starts and blinkers worn for the first time, at Chepstow 15 days ago, are persevered with; best to wait until he returns to AW. |
