Jakajaro
JAKAJARO was the impressive winner of 2 significant handicaps prior to running well in leading 5f events on his last 2 starts and can gain a breakthrough Pattern level success. Cover Up was better than the result in the King Charles III and is also shortlisted, whilst the progressive Rosy Affair produced a career best to make the frame in that race and also merits consideration.

Ended 2025 on the up with 6f victories in Pontefract listed event and Group 3 at Deauville. Good head second in listed race at Newmarket on return before scoring at Haydock (both 6f). Ran a stormer when 1¼ lengths fourth of 26 in King Charles III Stakes last month, so holds strong claims here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot5fGood to FirmFlat4/26Haydock Park6fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat1/15Newmarket (rowley)6fGood to FirmFlat2/9Deauville5f 212ySoftFlat1/7Pontefract6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/10- 9(3)Havana AnnaJ: G.

Listed winner over 5f at Naas last summer prior to finishing second in the Group 1 Cheveley Park at Newmarket. Didn't need to be at her best when taking the Lacken Stakes at Naas (6f) on return and backed that up with a good 1¾ lengths fourth of 22 in Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot6fGood to FirmFlat4/22Naas5f 205yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat1/8Del Mar5fFlat12/12Newmarket (rowley)6fGood to FirmFlat2/9Longchamp4f 214yVery softFlat2/10- 3(5)JakajaroJ: Jamie SpencerT: Robert Cowell57-1145Age 57/27/24/1

Returned from 5 months off with back-to-back handicap victories at Newmarket and York, the latter saw him run out a most impressive winner of a 21-runner contest away from the main action. Further good efforts up in grade in the Temple Stakes/King Charles III since and he makes plenty of appeal.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot5fGood to FirmFlat5/26Haydock Park5fGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat4/12York5fGoodFlat1/21Newmarket (rowley)5fGoodFlat1/8Churchill Downs5f 110yFlat7/12- 2(8)Cover UpJ: James DoyleT: Simon & Ed Crisford41-1380Age 67/18/115/2

Had a productive spell at Meydan during the winter/spring, winning listed event and Group 2 Blue Point Sprint, both at 5f. Wasn't seen to best effect on return to European action when 3 lengths thirteenth of 26 in the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot last month, lacking room late on.

Highly progressive and exciting at 2, completing a hat-trick in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot. Picked up where he left off when winning 6f Navan listed race on return but has underperformed both outings since and suddenly has something to prove.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot6fGood to FirmFlat16/22Naas5f 205yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat8/8Navan5f 180yGood to Yielding (Good in places)Flat1/7Ascot5fGood to FirmFlat1/15Naas5fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/4- 1(9)Bucanero FuerteJ: D.

Smart performer who won Group 3 Phoenix Sprint over 6f here last summer but not quite at his best in 3 outings this spring, albeit having stepped forward slightly with each run.

Proved better than ever when landing 16-runner handicap at York (5f) in May. Backed that up when third at Epsom (6f) next time and produced a career best upped to Group 3 company when a length third of 9 to Rumstar in Sprint Stakes at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago.

Won 3 times for Adrian Murray in 2025, including listed races at C&D and at Dundalk. Not disgraced having tried to keep tabs on an impressive winner when sixth of 27 in handicap (22/1) at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 29 days ago but difficult to fancy in this stronger company.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot5fGood to FirmFlat6/27Curragh5fGood to YieldingFlat4/12Cork5f 110ySoft (Soft to Heavy in places)Flat7/8Dundalk6fStandardFlat2/5Dundalk5fStandardFlat1/12- 7(1)BrusselsJ: W.

C&D winner who took a handicap in Bahrain in December but down the field there next 2 starts. Career-best when winning an 8-runner listed race (28/1) at Cork (5f, good) 34 days ago by ½ length from Likedbymike, but suited by the way race developed and more is needed in this company.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCork5fGoodFlat1/8Sakhir4f 214yFlat10/18Sakhir4f 214yFlat13/14Sakhir4f 214yGoodFlat1/16Curragh5fYielding to SoftFlat2/11
