6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Maintained his progress when repelling Victory Ace for a second AW success in May (1m) and Sandown last time didn't go entirely to plan after hitting traffic; remains of interest. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner this year but he's fine on turf too and ran creditably when second of ten at Musselburgh (again 1m, good) in April; up 5lb for latest Kempton success three weeks ago but likely he can do better again. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Solid effort to justify favouritism on his C&D comeback in March, having been gelded, when held up off an ordinary pace; backed that up when one of three to come away behind a cannily ridden winner on turf latest and holds leading claims upped 2lb. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Started career with 7f wins in maiden and novice events (soft/good to soft) but things went haywire after, way behind in Group 3 (9-1) and on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m; 7-1); gelded since though and returned with a much better effort, losing out only late over C&D (good; first-time cheekpieces); back up 2lb; should find something similar if the mindset holds. |

2nd 2 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Last year's two wins were over 7f on soft/good to soft before finishing tailed off in a Group 2; he worryingly suffered the same fate on handicap debut at the Craven meeting (1m, good) since when he's been gelded; has a few questions to answer now and the cheekpieces are new. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Showed his autumn form over 7f on soft/good to soft; well held in the Horris Hill when bidding to take his record to 3-3; however, gained his wins in good style and may have more to offer back down in class. |

8st 11lb |
Three wins at 7f and 1m (on this track; good to soft) but topped those efforts when a running-on close third, just behind Pandemonium over C&D (good; same terms) this month; should have more options now he's shown he stays this far; solid chance for last year's winning yard. |
11/2 |

3rd 3 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has done well for one who opened his account in a seller, bagging his second handicap over 1m here in April; however, progress has stalled, markedly so in his last two races (competitive ones admittedly). |
9/2 |

9th 14 (13) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Three-time winner at 7f-1m and steadily progressive until a below-par effort at Chester (7.5f) most recently; may bounce back but this is no easy task off current mark in such a competitive affair. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Often pulled hard last year and was gelded over the winter; this season his issue has been blowing the start and that's what cost him any chance last time; up to winning off this mark but has to be considered risky now. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Brighton novice winner last season at 1m; gelded in November; perhaps needed his first run back and then he stuck on gamely for a close third at Windsor (1m, good to firm); could step up again but will need to in this better race. |
2/1 |

Ended four-race 2yo campaign with clear win in Brighton novice (1m, good to firm) in October; never looked like winning on his seasonal/handicap debut at Southwell last month; may need more of a test. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Low-mileage 3yo; Newmarket winner for previous yard and ran well at Musselburgh on stable/seasonal debut; took a step backwards last time so needs to rebound. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |

Pulled up on his final run for Godolphin but his first two efforts read well; joined current yard for 25,000gns and kept on takingly for third behind Strength Of Spirit over 1m here in April (handicap debut); open to improvement. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
3yo who won on handicap/seasonal debut at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in April and good second at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) next time; disappointing at Musselburgh three weeks ago but could leave that behind back on AW; well worth a second look with yard in excellent form. |
8/1 |

6th 8 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Picked up from Roger Varian for 40,000gns; edged home on his handicap debut over 7f and again did his best work late at Kempton (1m, AW) when closing in on Blues And Royals with whom he's closely matched; goes further again here with little weight to carry and looks a major player. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 (9) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Picked up from Roger Varian for 40,000gns last autumn and had excuses on debut for his current yard (then gelded); easy to back, travelled well and got there in the nick of time on his 7f Lingfield comeback; improvement left upped 3lb. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
1m AW maiden winner in November for Ger Lyons; encouraging stable debut when beaten just over 2l at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) in April but it all went wrong when racing far too freely over 1m1f three weeks ago; takes a sharp drop in trip. |
33/1 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
AW winner for Ger Lyons, for whom he was 1-7; weak in the betting when fifth of 11 on yard debut at Wetherby but, although he wasn't beaten far, that was a Class 4; the hood that worked well for him in Ireland now returns. |
15/2 |
|
5th 4 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1m maiden winner at Dundalk (AW) for Ger Lyons in November, his fifth start; absent since second in a claimer over that C&D in December and, given his tendency to race too freely, removing the hood on this stable debut looks risky. |
13/2 |
