9st 6lb |
A first win since 2023 when scoring by a neck at Ballinrobe (1m5f, good) in July; not beaten far in two runs since, latterly in a valuable handicap at Leopardstown a week last Saturday when nearest at the finish; definite chance. |

No wins in eight; back from being gelded when a 2.5l fourth at Southwell (1m4f) but he hung left on the heavy ground (and in new cheekpieces) when a well-held third at Chester; others look safer. |

17th Apr 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Placed on first three starts (gelded after second) but much improved to win eight-runner nursery here (1m, good to firm) in September on final outing, always prominent and rallying extremely well; up 5lb but likely to be well suited by 1m2f+ and therefore one to note. |

Third on first two starts (7f, good/soft) and, having been gelded, he was beaten about 2l by Blown Away when runner-up at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last time; he's 4lb better off with his conqueror on today's nursery debut and this 525,000gns yearling is open to improvement for his powerful yard. |

31st Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ultra-consistent and registered a deserved first win in a novice at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) on latest outing; however, having had to settle for a place in his 1m2f handicaps at Ascot (good) and York (good to soft) in May, this field looks more demanding; worth a go at 1m4f but others are preferred for the win. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Out of form on the Flat in recent weeks; not beaten far when fifth of eight on handicap hurdle debut at Kelso (2m2f, good to firm) eight days ago and remains unexposed over jumps but overall profile is not persuasive. |
20/1 |

5th 6 |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Landed a juvenile hurdle at Hexham in June 2024 when trained by Ben Haslam; has been in the doldrums on the Flat for current yard and hard to be confident of improvement now back over hurdles. |
16/1 |

8th 10 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Returned to form with a close second in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month but she's been back in the doldrums since; has plenty to prove again and her sole Flat win was in 2024. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice over 6f at Doncaster this summer, the second win coming off a 1lb higher mark; struggled on his last four starts and a full revival is required. |
20/1 |
|
14th 4 (10) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Landed a pair of 6f handicaps here in early summer; well below form elsewhere on all three runs since, only 17th at York and Thirsk on last two outings, but the return to Doncaster ensures he retains some interest on this first 5f venture since reappearance. |
33/1 |

17th 6 (16) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a pair of 6f handicaps at Doncaster in early summer but he's been well below par both runs since, only 17th in 6f York handicap last time; lots more is needed. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner but recent C&D second of 14 is as good as anything he's produced, leading until the final 110yds; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if in similar form. |
17/2 |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
This trip on fast ground suits and every chance with a repeat of his two runs at Ripon; took a backward step here two weeks ago but he has C&D form and could run well. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

1m2f on fast ground suits and comes into the reckoning after two sound placed efforts at Ripon this season, beaten a head into second place last time; chance. |

18th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 125y |
11st 12lb |
Glorious Goodwood 1m2f handicap winner for William Haggas in 2024 and the task has been to get him to settle over hurdles; there was really no second at Listowel, so easily did promising Love Me Tender (GER) win, but it was still a fair effort; hood now left off. |

2nd 1 |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Talented 1m2f performer in Britain, including a Glorious Goodwood success in 2024 for William Haggas; beaten 15l last time at Killarney and shouldn't be long in winning over hurdles. |
7/1 |

3rd 1 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Dual Flat winner in Britain on good-to-firm; improved on moderate hurdles debut when beaten 17l at Listowel on good 84 days ago having raced plenty keen; each-way claims if building on that. |

1st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Winless since debut (5f, soft) in April 2023 but his form seems to have stabilised for this yard of late and he's run two fair races at about 5f on fast ground this summer (finished third at Bath in July, demoted to fourth for interference); every chance back at 6f. |
7/2 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
3rd Jul 2024 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Hasn't won since his debut at Yarmouth in April 2023; has finished in the frame on his last three starts, beaten half a length when second at Windsor (5f, good to firm) nine days ago with a first-time visor; the same headgear is retained and he should go close. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
24th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Awarded the race in the stewards' room on 2yo debut; 0-11 in the meantine but was only 2l away when boldly ridden at Lingfield last time (6f, AW); still uncertain as to what his best trip is (has tried 1m) and a first-time visor replaces blinkers. |
