Below par in Stewards' Cup but largely in good form over 5f/6f otherwise for current stable, keeping-on third in Shergar Cup Dash most recently; again has place claims. |

6f winner at Thirsk (good) in May and back at a similar level when a keeping-on third behind Dubai Bling at Ascot (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; should run his race but others are perhaps better treated. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f) in July but well below par both runs since and he failed to beat a rival in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last time; needs to take a major step forward. |
33/1 |
|
14th 10 (13) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
0-5 at Ripon but he has run well here; back near his best when seeing off 16 rivals at Ayr last month but a subsequent Hamilton run (5f) was underwhelming; still feasibly weighted despite being 1lb wrong but he is another who would make more appeal on a slower surface. |

10th 10 (2) |

Running well this year, including close third to Vantheman over C&D in May, and he posted a deserved win in a big field at Ayr (6f, good) 26 days ago; raised 5lb but he was very competitive off similar marks in 2024. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Listed winner in France; mostly rather vulnerable in handicaps for this yard, including over C&D in May, but he didn't get much of a run behind Fandom at Thirsk (good) next time and confirmed he was on the way back when leading near the line at Goodwood (also 6f, soft) two weeks ago; has quite a bit more to do under a penalty (3lb badly in). |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Got up in the final strides over 5f here (good to firm) three weeks ago on his fourth start for this yard; he could have more to offer for this stable, especially back up in trip with his Irish wins having come at 7.5f/7f; respected up 4lb for last time. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Short-headed on stable/seasonal debut at Musselburgh (5f, soft) in April; excuses at Newmarket (7f, good) next time and he returned to form when fourth of 14 at Thirsk (6f, good); one to consider back down in grade. |
6/1 |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Well beaten at Newmarket last month (7f, good; has won at that trip in the past) but he failed to settle and didn't look at home on the track; prior to that he kept on strongly to go very close at Musselburgh (5f, soft) on his stable debut and he remains one to be interested in. |

Thirsk winner (6f, good; from 6lb lower) in April; various near misses since, including at Newmarket and York, and as recently as last week at Thirsk (beaten a head); high draw is helpful, the prospect of rain-softened ground less so; still rates a player. |

Sole win from 18 starts came on his debut in a 5f maiden on soft ground in May 2024 but he has posted some good efforts since; midfield finishes in three starts this year, including when drawn wide at York over 7f on his last two outings; drops back in trip and down in grade with the visor returning. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |

8yo who can be in and out but he won at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in April and has run well in defeat on his last two starts, at Epsom (6f, soft) and Newcastle (6f, AW); he was a close second of 14 last time and this C&D winner can be in the mix if he's once more on a going day. |

Coaxed back to his best by the Quinns this year, winning 6f handicaps here and at Chester and then running a fine race in a hot sprint handicap at the Curragh last month; weakened in the closing stages of the Stewards' Cup, a race in which he was 5lb well in, and a personal best is needed to defy this highest mark of his career over the shortest trip he will have tackled. |

Beat his 21 rivals at York in May and added a handicap at Chester (6f, good) last month; ran a fine race behind Sondad at the Curragh two weeks ago and is 7lb better off for half a length this time; officially the best handicapped horse in the race (5lb ahead of his mark) and another big run should be forthcoming. |

Group 3 win on soft ground in Germany in 2024; chequered history since but the drop to 5f and fitting of a tongue-tie sparked a transformation at Newcastle in June, winning the Gosforth Park Cup in game fashion; not certain to be in the same form again but he won't be far away if he is. |
