Six-time winner at up to 2m in Britain but yet to hit any sort of form for current yard; career-low mark and tongue-tie tried so don't rule out. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |
9st 11lb |
Donegal yard likes to pick up horses with back-form, often from Britain, and try to rejuvenate them; six-time winner at up to 2m but hasn't been finishing out his races in Ireland and been off a while. |

Six-time winner for Charlie Johnston and best form over this trip; poor on first two runs for this yard at big prices; better than bare result when beaten over 5l at Gowran last May; yard's first runner of the year won on Tuesday; no surprise were he to go well after a break with leading claimer aboard. |

Consistent gelding who ran up to his best when third in a Class 2 handicap over this trip at Newton Abbot in August (2m5f); unlikely to be far away. |

Collected a good prize at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in April and has made the frame on all fourth subsequent appearances; can cope if the ground softens here and will probably be on the premises again. |

29th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Some creditable efforts over 2m this year and he wasn't far behind Red Flyer in a Class 2 over C&D (sixth of 13) last time; his losing run is mounting up but he's edging down the weights and could go well on this drop back in grade. |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, headway over 3f out, soon outpaced, rallied from 2f out, kept on inside final furlong, went third towards finish, not pace to challenge |

10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Just did enough to pip My Bobby Dazzler in this race last year (good ground; wore cheekpieces) and returned to form with front-running success in first-time visor at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in March; safely held, though, in Cheltenham race won by Long Draw in April and remains on career-high mark. |

It was the middle leg of a hat-trick when beating Harbour Lake in this 12 months ago and the first-time visor triggered a return to form at Newbury last time (3m, good to soft; made all); has to be considered off 4lb higher. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Last month's down-the-field finish in a valuable Flat marathon is easily overlooked and he reverts to hurdling on an attractive mark but he's on the downgrade and has become inconsistent; soundly beaten twice in cheekpieces last season and now tries blinkers; hard to predict. |
7/1 |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All British Flat wins (five of them) have been at Goodwood but the last four were on soft ground, latest in June 2025; sixth in this race in 2023 and fifth last year, both on soft; last August saw his only run on good to firm in the last three years and he wasn't discredited, but he needs to step up on this year's efforts, particularly as he's 4lb out of the handicap. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Ran creditably in sole Sandown attempt (four years ago) but is still seeking a first British Flat success away from Goodwood; modest third there last time in a race he'd won in 2022. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Missed 2025; has mostly been coming from well off the pace this term and that yielded a win at Thirsk (2m, good) in May and he ended up on the heels of the leaders in a Shergar Cup race at Ascot (2m, good to firm) when next seen 11 days ago; 5lb claimer takes over in what looks a tougher race. |

A winner off this mark on the AW just over two years ago when trained by David Simcock; returned from a long absence in the spring and back to his best best when coming from a long way off the pace to win well at Thirsk (2m, good) 69 days ago; back from a break with his yard going well; considered off 4lb higher. |

Four-time winner on the Flat but not since 2020; finished last on both appearances this year and makes very limited appeal on this belated hurdling debut; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers. |
