19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Hasn't won since completing an AW hat-trick in early 2025 but went close in 1m6f handicap at the Newmarket July festival when last seen; place possibilities, provided he remains in same form. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Fourth in this race last year off the same mark; fine efforts when runner-up in February on first two starts (2m, AW) since rejoining this yard, but reportedly made a respiratory noise next time and, following his third wind operation, he was a soundly beaten outsider in Listed race four weeks ago; others seem more solid. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Latest of his useful Flat form was an AW win in February 2025 but he failed to shine in his other two Flat starts last year; flourished as a hurdler instead and perhaps this run will be needed before a return to that sphere; the market may guide. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |

Has performed well in several notable handicaps, including a strong success at Windsor (2m; beat the subsequent County winner) in January and good second at the Cheltenham Festival (upped to 2m4f, soft) last time; solid contender who looks set for another big run. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Fine third from the front in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) on his first start for Richard Hughes; proved way too headstrong to give himself a chance of lasting home in the Copper Horse at Royal Ascot next time but ridden with restraint and saw things out a lot better when fourth of seven in 2m Newbury handicap (good to firm) since; has a bit to find on the figures back at Listed level. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |

Only 1-10 for Dermot Weld but was highly tried on occasions; made most from wide draw in major handicaps on both starts for Richard Hughes, reeled in late on when third in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) but backpedalling before the home straight at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm); big shout if he reverts to the Chester performance. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Back on the mark he defied over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in March but recent efforts haven't been obviously encouraging, for all the 7f trip of the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot is almost certainly too short for him these days. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Effective at 7f earlier in career but seems to need much further now and gained last three wins over 1m4f/1m6f (stays 2m); still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf in any case and looks unlikely to figure in this hot prize, back down sharply in distance. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Rarely seen on softer than good but it used to be okay (2023); made the frame only once (Saudi Arabia in February) from seven starts this year; admittedly hampered at Newmarket six weeks ago on latest outing, a race in which he ran well last term before finishing fifth in this; 7lb lower than 12 months ago and has a place squeak but there's been no win for over three years. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
0-9 on turf; that's despite some good form last year but his best two runs this season were on AW, latterly when winning at Southwell in July on his step up to 2m; that came by 13l in a five-runner race but he failed to fire in anything like that manner when back on turf at York (2m, good). |

0-8 on turf; that's despite some good form last year but his best two runs this season were on AW, latterly when winning at Southwell early last month on his step up to 2m; that came by 13l in a five-runner race; has a 6lb higher mark in this very different contest but he's unexposed at the trip. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Raised his game for two 1m4f wins this winter and ran respectably in another AW race three weeks ago after 81 days off; a close call on turf on handicap debut (1m6f, good) last November gives plenty of encouragement that he will prove as effective moving away from AW this afternoon; in the mix. |
5/2 |

3rd 2 (2) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |

Didn't need to improve to win an uncompetitive C&D novice in the winter but did it impressively and he bettered that at Southwell (off 2lb lower than today) next time, coming from off a steady pace to get up in a busy finish; remains open to further improvement. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
First Flat start since 2024 when he came home strongly to win slowly run 1m6f handicap at Sandown (good; 50-1) on his stable debut in June; the searchlights had to be switched on at Goodwood (soft) three weeks ago, and stamina for this far remains unproven, but he could bounce back on the forecast better ground. |
10/1 |

9th 4 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Pulled up over hurdles on final two runs for Ben Pauling but he won his two previous Flat races when trained in Ireland and belatedly completed a hat-trick when coming from last to first despite steady fractions in a 1m6f handicap at Sandown in June (good); raised a fair 5lb; showed some early promise on slow ground. |

10st 4lb |
Enjoyed a fine 2025 with seven wins at up to 2m; yet to score this season but arrives in good nick, fourth in 2m2f Musselburgh handicap two weeks ago; he's well in the mix off a 2lb lower mark with blinkers refitted. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |

His strike-rate is better on AW than turf and this inconsistent 6yo was a tailed-off third at Southwell (2m, AW) in July last time; however, before that he was a close third of 20 in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m, AW) and he's shown some good turf form this season; capable of a big run. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
C&D winner (Class 4; from 22lb lower) last October; won well at Plumpton (2m; from 13lb lower) in April and posted a career best in a C&D Class 2 in July, run down only late on (not fluent at the last two); the task is even tougher from 4lb higher; certainly isn't discounted though. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |

Best on good ground as he showed when running away with the Sussex Champion Hurdle at Plumpton in April; however, that came at a cost to the tune of 10lb and he failed to fire behind Moon Chime in the Swinton; others might be better in here. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Thriving since the cheekpieces went on in December, winning six of his nine starts in them and that includes his last four races (on Southwell Tapeta four runs back); the big majority of those races were on AW, with a comfortable success at Lingfield last time (has never run at this track); up another 5lb and into a better race but he may well carry on the good work. |
