2nd 3 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Reliable sort with a good first-time-out record, and he looks well worth this first foray beyond 14.5f, but there is something to prove if the ground if firmer than good; promising 7lb claimer has his first ride at Chester. |
14/1 |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced for a 5yo; has twice made the frame since returning from another seven months off in June, finishing fourth of 13 in the Mallard at Doncaster (14.5f, good to soft) last month (runner-up has since won the Cesarewitch); placed in both starts on AW as a 2yo including one here; not dismissed. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Respectable eighth of 23 in the November Handicap here (1m4f, soft) ended his 2024 campaign; gelded before his good third of 14 at Epsom (1m4f, good) this April on final start for Raphael Freire (same stable) but absent again since; no show at Royal Ascot 2024 on his only go at this sort of trip. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
1m2f second last year on his only race at Sandown; second off today's mark at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) on penultimate start was easily the best of his four runs on turf this season but his only win remains an AW maiden. |
11/1 |

10th 9 (10) |
15th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Looked to be suited by the step back up in trip when runner-up at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, despite not looking at home on the track; may be able to build on that performance today and he's a possible. |
10/1 |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, headway on outer after 3f, soon hampered rival, edged left and hampered 4f out, hung left from over 2f out, soon led, no extra and headed towards finish |

22nd Apr 2023 Soft 1m 3f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
1,200,000gns yearling; Derby entry by Sea The Stars out of the Musidora winner So Mi Dar, herself a sister to the high-class 7f-1m performer Too Darn Hot; 5-1, came from off the pace when third of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (1m2f, heavy) three weeks ago; that form won't win this race but he should improve, perhaps markedly; interesting to see cheekpieces already. |

1,200,000gns yearling; by Sea The Stars out of the Musidora winner So Mi Dar, herself a sister to the top-class 7f-1m performer Too Darn Hot; bred in the purple and represents a top stable; fascinating newcomer. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Highly fruitful in his two and a half years with this yard, including two wins (Flat/hurdles) this February/March; needs to bounce back from a rare flop but the chief concern is his 0-15 record on Flat turf. |
18/1 |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with a Flat success at Southwell and he's bagged back-to-back handicaps here since, readily landing the odds over C&D 13 days ago; hiked up 10lb now but thriving and still the one to beat. |
11/8 |
|
1st 5 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won on the Flat at Southwell (2m, AW) in January and followed up here (2m1f, good) last Tuesday, which was his second run in a handicap hurdle; escapes a penalty for that recent win and there can be considerable optimism that he'll be suited by this step up in trip; could be tough to beat. |
5/4 |

1st 4 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Runner-up to a dual subsequent winner on handicap hurdle debut at Perth (2m, good) in September and reverts to this discipline after clearcut 2m AW win in January; could still have untapped potential over jumps; must be considered. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

On a near two-year losing spell and isn't certain to confirm last-time placings with Ryebridge, who is less exposed; that said, again has an each-way squeak. |

Habitual slow-starter who again got going too late to land a blow when seventh of 13 at Kempton (1m3f) ten days ago; the visor he wore that day is retained; has just one win from 15 goes and needs something extra. |

Has had just two AW races, including when second as 2yo; sole win (13 races) came over 1m4f at Ffos Las last August off 2lb higher, on the first of two starts with a tongue-tie which returns today; not so good since, with blinkers on last two outings, but the tongue-tie might help. |

15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Both wins have come here, the latest over this trip (good to soft) in November; may have found the ground too testing when a long way behind Aire Spray back here last month, but others look more solid nonetheless. |

Front-runner who enjoyed a resurgence last year, winning three times over hurdles and once on the Flat; absent since November, though, and will need to resume in peak form to have any chance off current mark. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

In excellent form over the last few months, winning three times over hurdles and once on the Flat; latest success came from the front over C&D (good; 9-2) 17 days ago; nudged up another 2lb and this is a warmer race but she's fit and hard to discount. |

Won over this trip at Pontefract (her only start at 1m) last April and added to her good record in testing conditions when comfortably making all at Nottingham (also heavy, 1m2f) last autumn; probably needs a downpour, which isn't forecast. |

10th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |

Win last summer came over 1m2f and stamina isn't assured as he goes beyond 1m4f for the first time; this summer's Beverley efforts give him claims if he does see it out though. |

5th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |

Course winner at 1m2f for Richard Fahey but he hasn't entirely answered the stamina question over this far as yet, most recently when third of eight over C&D ten days ago; might be tough to reel in Walter Hartright if the latter is on song. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Short-headed on 2024 reappearance and won it last year; thrived last season when winning three races and not far away in the other three, including at this track; highly respected for that campaign, and first-time-out record, but the handicapper reacted and he now needs to resume improvement. |

5th 3 (9) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |

5yo who has thrived this season and made it two 1m4f wins in a row when powering ahead at Hamilton (good to firm) a fortnight ago; also effective here (and on soft ground) and has hinted he could be even better now tackling 1m6f for the first time; trainer won this in 2015 and 2017; player. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |

Won on reappearance at Chester (1m2f, good) in May before being placed in two competitive handicaps, then back to winning ways at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; hit with 9lb rise for last time but this thriving 5yo had 5l to spare and could play a leading role once more. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Scored off 2lb higher over C&D last April and was also on target off today's mark on turf last summer; ran well when fresh last year and has a fighting chance if fully tuned up for this reappearance outing. |
