20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
His win in July took C&D record to 3-4 (good to soft and good to firm); had a very awkward start here since and was soon tailed off (stablemate Cherry Cobbler was second) but, given his fine strike-rate here, he can't easily be left out. |
10/1 |

9th 6 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All four turf wins have been gained on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in his first two runs this season but he returned to form when beating Jumby over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago; only 2lb higher here and has leading claims if he can back that up. |
7/2 |

1st 7 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins on turf have been achieved on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in two comeback outings in recent months but eased 3lb and capable of bouncing back to form to a form with a bang. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
His last win was was in 2023 but that was a Group 3 event and he went close behind Where's Freddy over C&D (good to firm; 3-1 favourite) 13 days ago; on same mark here and he's a big player if he can repeat that form; visor added. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
On a three-year losing run and nothing like the force of old but his current mark reflects that and this is a good bit easier than the two handicaps he tackled in the spring; no surprise were this class dropper to go well with his yard among the winners. |
8/1 |
|
12th 29 (24) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two-time Group winner over 7f but is on a near three-year losing spell and current mark reflects that he's not the force of old (admittedly showed bits of useful form in 2025); needs to step up on reappearance effort; failed to shine in the last two runnings of this contest. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Both wins on the AW, a 7f novice and 1m handicap last month (when 4lb lower); never involved from off the pace back there a month ago but he could be ready for this longer distance; return to turf is no concern. |
7/2 |
|
8th 11 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Better than ever this year after gelding operation and wind surgery, coming from last to first over C&D three weeks ago; he's in deeper here but a 4lb rise hardly looks insurmountable and it feels as if he's just starting to fulfil his potential; leading contender. |
13/2 |
|
1st 1 (6) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Winning debut on AW at Wolverhampton (7f) last March but was well held in two handicaps later; however, he posted a solid effort when third at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on reappearance, having undergone wind/gelding operations, and should come on for that; this return to 1m could suit. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
He has finished second to The Good Biscuit (runs 3.15) over C&D twice this summer, more recently 11 days ago; 2lb higher today but should make another bold bid. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (11) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Races prominently; has recorded some creditable efforts in defeat this year, including chasing home The Good Biscuit over C&D (good to firm) in July, but well beaten at Beverley latest; first outing for six weeks. |
20/1 |
|
10th 3 (9) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Races prominently; easy winner of this 12 months ago when only 2lb lower and he returns on the back of some solid efforts, the latest over 6f which has to bode well; good chance. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Beat Cherry Cobbler by a neck on the July course (7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in June but his last two starts don't compare, including in this headgear combination on soft ground a fortnight ago; will need to get back on track. |
33/1 |
|
8th 6 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Form has dipped since winning in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (good) but now has another change of headgear and he's back on that last winning mark; won a novice on soft. |
25/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Responded well to first-time cheekpieces when winning over C&D (good) last month but he was well held back here (fifth of seven) 13 days ago; finished behind some of today's rivals in that race and he needs to step up again after that. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All wins have been over further when hooded and he's 0-7 at about 7f (has placed form); hasn't really fired in any of his last three races but this is easier than he's accustomed to; unraced at Chester. |
9/2 |

5th 4 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Threatened on AW and turf in the spring but his last two efforts have been below par (C&D latterly); feasibly handicapped but others are more persuasive. |
6/1 |
|
6th 11 (11) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Not at his best two weeks ago but he had been threatening on both AW and turf beforehand; on a dangerous mark and he can't be discounted. |

16th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Can front-run; now 1lb lower than for last August's Chepstow success (7f, good to soft) but he's been below his best in four starts this year, including at Kempton 12 days ago; drops back to 6f for the first time since his 2yo days. |
13/2 |

8th 11 (9) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner; 5lb lower than for his near miss at Lingfield (7f) in December; not at best in two runs back from a break but the type to come good again soon; perhaps that will be in a race that will feature fewer pace influences than this one. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-9 on the AW but he has gone close on two occasions, including when beaten a head at Lingfield (7f) in December; below his best on his next two outings and was last of seven at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month; needs to take a step forward. |
