9st 9lb |
Dual Newmarket winner, a 1m2f maiden and 1m4f handicap (off 3lb lower); has been a bit all or nothing but returns as a 4yo now gelded and remains in his top yard; ran well on his previous AW start; dangerous. |

16th Jun 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Triple winner at up to 1m6f, all on a sound surface; stepped up on two early-season efforts when scoring at Newmarket last month; went up 3lb for that and was beaten over 8l at Hamilton (1m5f, good) latest; more needed. |

Three 1m4f wins on the Flat for Ed Walker; made a winning debut for Tim Vaughan over hurdles last summer but two subsequent runs (wind op before latest) haven't been so good; not sure what to expect back on the Flat. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat racer who showed some fair hurdling form for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland last year and did not need to be at best to justify short odds in modest Ffos Las novice (2m4f, good to soft) for new stable in last month; faces tougher task under penalty but still has a big role to play. |

Useful Flat racer who was creditable second of 14 at Cork (2m4f, good) on hurdling debut for Joseph O'Brien in November; became rather disappointing for that stable afterwards and was sold for 10,000gns in March but makes debut for Tim Vaughan in a modest race. |

Good ground saw his worst performance (second start) and he's unraced on firmer; won 1m2f novice at Newcastle (AW) in June and close fourth of six on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f) 12 days ago; respected on that form and he shaped as if he'd stay 1m6f. |

9st 13lb |
Veteran whose last win was in August 2021; second off a career-low mark at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW; second run since wind surgery) on penultimate start but he's lightly raced on turf these days and has not made a significant impact in this sphere for a long time. |

9yo who was down the field at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last time but was running consistently well prior to that; this C&D winner has an each-way chance if bouncing back. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |

Hearty strike-rate on turf, adding another in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; less of a win machine on AW but both wins have come on this track, over C&D and 1m4f in early 2024, and he was involved in a tight finish back on AW at Wolverhampton two starts ago; not far away. |

7lb beneath the mark he defied at Sandown in July 2025 (1m2f, good to firm) but he's not made the same impact this season and now looks exposed; blinkers are turned to; others are way more intriguing. |

Held up; picked up one 1m2f Sandown handicap in summer 2024 and 2025; hasn't quite had the same impact this season, including twice at that track and when tried in cheekpieces on latest start, but he is now 6lb below his peak mark and a case can be made. |

8st 10lb |
Improved with steps up in distance on his first three starts, 4-9 when he won a maiden at Catterick (good to firm) in May in a style which suggests he's a stayer; took a slight backward step, however, when making his handicap debut over 14.5f at Doncaster (good) and has been dropped just 1lb. |

His three runs were at 1m, 1m2f and 1m4f this spring and he's been improving; 4-9 when he won a maiden at Catterick (good to firm) last time, in a style which suggests he's a stayer, so further improvement should be on its way on this handicap debut. |

Took her form to a new level with a game success in Newbury Group 3 on stable/seasonal debut; not so good front-running in a four-runner Group 2 at Newmarket (also 1m4f on good) three weeks later; player if reverting to the Newbury form but her three attempts at this sort of trip (summer 2023) were not as good as that year's runs at 1m4f. |

Useful for Rae Guest; took her form to a new level with a game success in Newbury Group 3 on stable/seasonal debut, taking record to 6-21; faces a stiffer task in this grade but may rate higher still and she's the sole C&D winner in the field; very hard to dismiss. |
