14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
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 2 (8) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
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. |

Her last win came at last season's Glorious Goodwood when the ground was heavy; she has run mostly respectably this term but having ground softer than good, preferably soft or heavy, seems vital to her chance. |

12th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Gelded after four defeats last season when progressive; failed to justify favouritism on his return at Chelmsford (1m AW) but it was by no means a bad run and both this surface and the longer trip could benefit. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
16th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Gradually got the hang of things in four starts last year and was unlucky not to finish closer when third of 11 on nursery debut at Newmarket (1m1f, soft) in October; gelded soon afterwards and now returns from 138 days off; is a half-brother to a French AW winner, but not sure the drop in trip is what he needs. |
3/1 |

3rd 9 (11) |

sweating, mounted in chute and taken down early, took keen hold, in touch with leaders, not clear run from 2f out, pushed along and kept on final 110yds, went third final strides (jockey said colt was denied clear run inside the final furlong) |

Fair third in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter last July and he's dropping down the weights; however, he's struggled since that Uttoxeter run and was fading when falling three out at Chepstow last time; now 0-16 across both codes. |

14th Apr 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 5-11 on turf and his last success was at this track (1m4f, good to firm) last June; good second at Newcastle (1m2f) in final run for George Boughey but he returned for new yard with a tailed-off effort at Kempton (1m3f) last month; has bit to prove after that and he needs to bounce back near best; regular tongue-tie removed. |

13th 9 (2) |
29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Regular winner in three campaigns with George Boughey, for whom he ended last June with a win at Pontefract (1m4f) and good second on Newcastle Tapeta (1m2f); unraced on Polytrack; hood joins his now usual tongue-tie and he'll be competitive for new yard (same owners) if starting this term where he left off last season. |

Absent since finishing 5l behind Caprelo here in May; may put up a better fight in the rematch, having been fresh when gamely making all over C&D earlier in the spring. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Having his second start back from wind surgery when making all and just holding on over C&D last month (first two clear); has since finished fourth of eight in a slightly better race at Ascot (2m, good to firm); respected, especially if again allowed an uncontested lead. |

Won twice over 1m2f on good to soft ground last year, but his four efforts since returning in April have been moderate to say the least; 3lb below his last winning mark but has plenty to prove. |

Won twice during light campaign last season (1m2f, good to soft; including here); however, he's been well beaten on both outings this year and a major turnaround is needed in first-time cheekpieces. |

C&D winner; comes here on the back of two good course runs over 1m4f but defying the widest stall over this C&D could be an insurmountable challenge. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two handicap wins this season (1m and 1m2f, good to firm and good to soft); wouldn't judge her too harshly on her last two efforts (both on soft) and she's more appealing than many. |
9/2 |

7th 4 (8) |
20th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |

Two narrow wins this summer, over 1m at Leicester (good to firm) and 1m2f at Newbury (good to soft) and both under Alec Voikhansky; form dipped on soft going last Tuesday but she's a major player if bouncing back. |

3-8 over hurdles for Tom Dascombe (often with forcing tactics) and he won his first two on the Flat once joining this yard; solid fourth of 13 from the rear at Warwick (2m, good to soft; kept on) 11 days ago; respected. |
