27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
0-7 since winning debut but has been set some stiff tasks and there was enough promise in her last-time-out fourth (1m3f, here) to suggest she could soon double her tally; hood retained; market informative on return. |

8st 13lb |
Really encouraging fourth behind the subsequent 1,000 Guineas winner in last year's May Hill at Doncaster (1m, good) one year ago is starting to fade from the memory and she's beaten a total of two horses in three starts this year; needs to turn the ship around. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won AW maiden (about 1m1f) in France last spring; rather up and down over a range of trips for this yard, albeit this is easier than the two turf handicaps contested in Britain; hood refitted; reservations remain. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ran well for close second over 8.6f at Wolverhampton in December; beaten favourite twice since but there have been possible excuses, as he likely did too much too soon over 9.4f back there on the first occasion and his rider lost an iron at the start (not regained for a number of strides) over C&D since; withdrawn from an intended start last month after refusing to go in the stalls; the Wolverhampton second is solid form and he might be worth another chance. |

0-5 for James Owen but he ran well for second over 8.6f here in December; not quite so good since, including when well backed at Kempton 13 days ago, but he's clearly thought to be well treated. |

Dipped into Class 5 company at Newcastle in March and won comfortably (extended 1m4f); two disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove; has run well in two course visits, at least. |

Won for blinkers first being fitted and did so again for them going back on over C&D two months ago; lacked consistency in recent times and there's not much wiggle room off this mark but he's capable if on a going day. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Made all in a novice at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft) in August; that looked promising but she was soundly beaten in Listed event at York (1m4f, good to firm; 8-1) and last of six when 5-4 favourite on handicap debut at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft); those give cause for concern. |

Thrice-raced filly who was soundly beaten in 1m4f Listed event at the York Ebor festival most recently; made all at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft) earlier in August and may still have more to offer; respected back down in trip/class. |

11st 4lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat for Andrew Balding; made inauspicious start to hurdling career last season but his close third on handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, good) five weeks ago was much better, and he may yet transfer more of that Flat ability to hurdling. |
11/4 |

3rd 8 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |

A fair 1m2f Flat winner for Andrew Balding; yet to show any form of note in three juvenile hurdles this winter though and needs this switch to handicap company to yield major progress. |

Won a Goodwood maiden (1m2f, gd-fm) on debut for the Gosdens; creditable efforts on turf and AW in three subsequent starts; bought for 20,000gns in December; overlooked by Foley, so probably best watched after break on stable bow. |

$260,000 filly who won on debut over C&D (good to firm) in August and was beaten just over 4l when second of five in Kempton novice (1m4f, AW) last month; in top hands and could benefit from this drop back in trip on handicap debut; she's one to consider. |

Ex-Kevin Philippart de Foy; formerly a useful performer and was successful at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) last April; now 24lb lower than for that win but she's struggled since and has form figures of 9050876 for her current yard; opposable. |

Struggled early on for this yard (at huge prices) but he was dropped into a Class 6 at Wolverhampton (1m4f) 12 days ago, backed into 11-8 favouritism and duly returned to form, finding only an in-form rival too good; 1lb rise not an issue given what he was capable of last year; key player. |

2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Two wins (1m2f/1m4f) in 2025 for previous yard, but he's raced in the rear and stayed there in all five runs for this trainer; on dangerous mark on this drop back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

Changed hands for 9,000gns after winning at Wolverhampton last summer (9.4f; left Kevin Philippart De Foy); low-key stable debut over 1m3f here in November (33-1) and this might not be enough of a test back from another break. |

23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

0-7; two best efforts have come on the Kempton Polytrack, as when beaten less than a length into fourth of 12 off this mark over 1m4f in April; tongue-tie now given a go and each-way claims if showing that sort of form back here. |

Resurgent 8yo who has rattled off a hat-trick on AW this spring including a clearcut win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; this is tougher off 9lb higher but he remains feasibly treated on his old form and is a five-time winner on turf; key player. |

Has a patchy profile but he justified support when bouncing back with a strong-finishing win here (1m4f) last month; up 4lb but that was a cosy success and the form has been boosted by the runner-up since; interesting contender. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Won a 1m novice at Kempton in September 2023 but 0-10 in handicaps since; did catch the eye when third at Kempton (1m3f) back on AW in November but hasn't built on it twice since, finishing remote third at Chelmsford (1m6f) latterly; the return to 1m4f may help but others are more convincing. |

Verdict
Just Keep Flying cost favourite backers on her last two starts but still got seriously involved and she’s had only three races all told. She could still have potential and and stands out in that respect. However, HINCHINBROOKE has been back to form recently, including over C&D, and this could be where Jane Chapple-Hyam’s 3yo gets off the mark. Hebridean Nomad is an interesting each-way option off his reduced mark and with a drop back in trip.[Richard Austen]
