6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Sometimes races too freely, including when last seen, but otherwise a progressive 7f filly and her form includes good efforts in difficult circumstances at two major festivals last August; remains of interest. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Performed well, despite things not going totally smoothly, in warm 7f handicaps at Glorious Goodwood (went very close) and the York Ebor festival last month; still open to further progress; major player. |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Not at full strength two starts ago but had impressed at Sandown (good to firm) in June and then only just failed against another progressive type at Goodwood (also 7f, good to soft; suffered a bump) 19 days ago; raised 3lb but not done with from a handicapping viewpoint; good claims. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Twice a winner (1m/1m1f) in Ireland for Dermot Weld; improved a bit on just second start for new connections when beaten narrowly at Chester (7f, good) last week, always in the firing line; a 3lb rise should not prevent another bold bid. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (7) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who scored twice over longer trips in Ireland; far from disgraced (seventh of 18) at Newmarket dropped to 7f on stable/seasonal debut; possibilities, provided he builds on that effort. |
11/1 |

7th 10 (2) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won at the Curragh (1m1f) on seasonal/handicap debut in June and doubled his tally in Killarney conditions event (1m, also good) in August; big disappointment on final start for Dermot Weld in late September but new connections had to go to 150,000gns to secure him one month later; unexposed and interesting to see how he goes in the market ahead of this first start at 7f. |

Steadily progressive on turf and AW; prevailed at Wolverhampton (7f) on seasonal debut, making it three wins from his last six races; up only another 2lb and there's the possibility of further improvement; respected. |

Record of 3-9 (all last year) for Hugo Palmer; final effort took his Chester record (7.5f) to 7112; subsequently sold for 60,000gns; likely player, provided he remains in similar form on stable/seasonal debut. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Suited by good/firmer; has quickly found his form this season for new yard and ran creditably in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m) last Saturday when attempting to follow up his Beverley success (7.5f); may do better still. |
9/1 |
|
5th 14 (12) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who was having only his second start for this yard when clinging on over the extended 7f at Beverley (good to firm) nine days ago; only raised 3lb but this is a step up from that Class 4 and his draw isn't ideal for one who usually races close to the pace. |
12/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

Low-mileage 4yo whose last two efforts, latest on stable/seasonal debut, can be excused; steadily progressive RPRs otherwise and gained sole success over C&D (good to firm); interesting back down in class and returned to this scenario. |

Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell and comes here on the back of a good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap; this three-time C&D scorer must enter calculations. |

3rd 3 (5) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (6f-7.4f), who defied this mark at Southwell in January but he's been well held in three runs since; now drops back in grade but he needs to get back near his best. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |

12th 11 (16) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
String of runs last summer (6f-7f) suggested he was ahead of his mark but he often ran into trouble and/or got going too late; no surprise at all were he to take this back from a break but he is not one for the faint of heart. |
8/1 |

Two wins for Andrew Balding, the second an Ascot handicap in May 2024 (good), before 50,000gns sale last October; taken time to hit top form for new yard but sound runs on last two starts, latest a close third in a Newbury handicap last month (7f, good to soft); interesting. |

8th 11 (1) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |

Ran well at Kempton in sole 6f AW run (as 2yo) but proved a far better 3yo, winning three of his first four turf starts, over 6f and 7f; his form deserted him later but he returns to action only just above his latest winning mark last June; interesting. |

Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in January and he also won at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in February; he's continued in good form on Tapeta on his last two starts and is also effective over this C&D; might have a part to play. |
