18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Record of 4-7 over hurdles but this is tougher than usual and he could have run a lot better back from a break at Newton Abbot; others appeal more. |
40/1 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Switched to hurdles for new yard last May-September and won four of his six starts (all on good ground), two of them over C&D (one a handicap); held in fourth of six at Plumpton last September when last seen but retains potential; yard among the winners and he could go well back from a break. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Not proven on firmer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; has a competitive mark and possibilities going beyond 2m, but this is also a better race. |
10/1 |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won back to back over 2m for Emma Lavelle last autumn and ran well to make the frame despite racing freely in a couple of Goodwood handicaps in May; one wonders if the drop back in trip will play to his strengths on stable debut but he makes greater appeal than most of these. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won 11.6f and 1m6f handicaps last year for the Gosden yard; two heavy defeats over hurdles to start off with for current one but he was a 5l fourth of nine over 2m here in May and he was held up in a small field when never threatening at Newmarket last time (1m6f); back here, on a realistic mark, he could feature. |
12/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
11.6f and 1m6f handicap winner last year for the Gosdens; soundly beaten on both attempts over hurdles for new yard but fourth of nine at 33-1 back on the Flat at Chester (2m) three weeks ago was much more like it; needs to build on that. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Nearly won over hurdles in May but two lesser runs followed and now 0-7 in that scene, while he's only 1-21 on the Flat (for Alan King); on a useful mark but probably not as good as he was, and he's unraced at Chester. |
10/1 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Useful on the Flat; back over hurdles for new stable this season, with by far the best of three runs a close second at Warwick (2m, good) two starts ago; pulled up over 2m1f since and not easy to predict over this new trip. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His sole win came back in June 2024 but he often runs well and was third of seven at Chester (2m, good) four weeks ago on his second stable start; might be in with an each-way shout. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Much respected on his form for Alan King, for all that he was 1-22 for that yard; following a 30,000gns sale he ran okay over C&D on last month's stable debut, but no more than that. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Edging down the weights and the return to a more galloping track could help, but his claims aren't compelling based on what he's shown at Chester this year on his three starts for a new yard. |
20/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won a small-field maiden last August and he went close in 1m4f handicaps in his final two runs for Ralph Beckett; left that yard for 90,000gns last autumn; struggled on stable debut here (2m, good) in May but he was a fair fourth over the same C&D last month; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's in the mix back in trip. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made all in a big field here (2m) last July and he's on a handy mark on last season's best efforts; however, he's been well beaten on both outings this year and needs to turn things around. |
7/1 |

5th 6 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all to win by 5l on heavy ground here (1m6f) in September and will warrant consideration if conditions become similarly testing today but his seasonal debut was disappointing and he's not one to rely upon. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Beaten just a neck at Pontefract (1m4f, good) last month on his second start before 5l fourth of eight to Hatteen at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm); he's 8lb better off with the winner for this handicap debut and further improvement is possible, but it's needed in this warm contest and there's a suspicion he may appreciate a longer trip. |

4th 8 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |

Runner-up in both his races and beaten only a neck in the latest (1m4f, good), but appears to have the weakest form claims of those with experience. |
