Dual Group winner at Meydan early in 2025 and went close in a Group 3 at Dundalk in October. Has blown the start in 2 of his 4 outings this year and he does seem a hostage to fortune given how he's ridden. Was poorly drawn at York last time, though, and blinkers are back on.
|
Fourth behind Argentine Tango in listed event at Ayr earlier this season. She's a much-improved filly now, proving too strong at the finish for Badri when successful at Pontefract last time. Up 5 lb but nicely on top that day so she's on the shortlist.
|
Completed an all-weather hat-trick at Wolverhampton in April. Not in the same form back on turf next 2 starts but showed he's very capable on grass when second over C&D last month. Shade better than bare result at York since.
|
Impressive winner on debut at Doncaster prior to acquitting himself well when fourth in listed event in May. Has continued the good work in handicaps, fitted with a tongue tie and better than ever when second in a big-field contest at York 17 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.
|
Revitalised by the refitting of a visor when winning a Newmarket handicap for third successive year in July. Better than he was able to show under a more patient ride at Yarmouth but harder to excuse Pontefract run latest.
|
Useful sort who showed a nice turn of foot to open his account for current yard at Doncaster (5f) in July and shaped much better than bare result when ninth of 23 at Goodwood, finishing with running left having been denied a clear run. Major player.
|
Strong-travelling mare who won 3 times in 2025. Has returned in rude health, going close again in big-field handicap at Glorious Goodwood and typically went with plenty of zest when sixth of 12 to Rhythm N Hooves in handicap at Newbury latest. Eased 2 lb.
|
Front runner who seemingly hasn't been the easiest to train this year. Ran with a lot more encouragement than had been the case earlier in the season when only beaten 2½ lengths at Newmarket before not looking too happy on soft ground at Sandown last week.
|
Ran with plenty of credit to finish a close third at Windsor in June. Raced on the unfavoured part of the track when respectable eighth of 13 in a C&D handicap in July and won a Newbury handicap for the second time 3 weeks ago.
|
Recorded a quick-fire hat-trick over 6f last summer for William Haggas and off the mark for current connections at Newmarket 2 weeks ago. That was his first crack over 5f and that has opened more options for him.
|
Won maiden/novice events over 6f at Ayr for Archie Watson last summer. Bounced back to form on second run for new yard with fourth over C&D in July, finishing well having been denied a clear run 1f out. Failed badly to build on that at York since.
|
Resumed winning ways over 5f at Windsor in June and was unlucky not to finish even closer when beaten a half-length into fourth over the same C&D next time. Didn't go with any verve but did stick on for third at Nottingham 4 weeks ago.

Manatee Mehmas (10/3), Fluorescence (7/2), Rhythm N Hooves (5/1), Dyonisos (8/1), Gold Star Hero (8/1), Glamorous Breeze (9/1), West Acre (11/1), Maelstrom (14/1), Rocking Ends (20/1), Zoulu Chief (22/1), Mesaafi (25/1), Underwriter (28/1), Cinque Verde (33/1)
Plenty to consider but DYONISOS was a big eyecatcher at Goodwood last month so he looks the way to go. The assessor has been very fair with Glamorous Breeze and she's dangerous if getting into her usual rhythm, with Fluorescence and Manatee Mehmas also of interest.
