Unraced on firmer than good and she's won on good to soft, soft and heavy; suited by about 1m6f and her fifth of seven at Newbury on latest start was creditable; probably on the premises. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ran creditably in sole Sandown attempt (four years ago) but is still seeking a first British Flat success away from Goodwood; modest third there last time in a race he'd won in 2022. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

All five domestic Flat wins have come here including this race in 2022; just 1lb above his last winning mark and respected with the ground likely to be in his favour. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well held over hurdles in last three runs but he's won plenty under both codes including three over C&D; still 3lb higher than for his win here last June but he needs watching in market back on the Flat; effective on good/good to firm but most of his wins have come on slow ground. |

9st 9lb |
Fourth in this 12 months ago off 4lb higher; started this campaign with two good seconds (1m4f/1m6f) but has been tailed off the last twice on good and soft ground; now has more to prove than some of these. |
9/1 |

6th 8 (3) |
26th Aug 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three seconds and two thirds from his six runs at Goodwood; no win since May 2022 but good second at Ascot (1m4f) and Goodwood (1m6f; alongside Vaynor) in his first two appearances this season, before something seemed amiss at Newmarket six weeks ago; has a competitive mark if straight back to form and the cheekpieces (which received a positive initial response when fitted in the last two seasons) get their first airing this term. |

Three-time Flat winner (1m-1m6f) for Richard Hannon; having only his fifth start over hurdles when scoring by 15l at Southwell (2m, good) eight days ago; 7lb penalty shouldn't preclude another big effort. |

Dual-purpose; lost form since promising second off 97 at Tipperary back in May 2023; changed yards after another below par effort at Cork on latest off 86; mark falling but hard to fancy on recent efforts; needs a revival. |

Useful bumper winner; showed plenty on good ground in his qualifying runs when switched to the Flat and runner-up at Ffos Las (1m6f, good to soft) early this month when 10-11 in his first handicap; it looked like he had more to offer but he was a disappointing favourite over 2m here yesterday. |

12th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fair Flat performer (stayed at least 1m6f); promise in maiden/novice hurdles last year and possibly found soft ground against him when pulled up on handicap hurdle debut; back on track when returned to a better surface with a close second at Stratford (2m3f, good) last month; shouldn't be far away off a small rise. |

Useful on the Flat for the Charltons; promise in maiden/novice hurdles last year and perhaps found soft ground against him when pulled up on handicap hurdle debut ten weeks ago; may fare better returned to drying ground. |
