24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 0-7 this year but he has encouraging recent form; ties in closely with Brosay on penultimate effort and ran well, faring best of the near-side group, in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) latest; wears cheekpieces for first time on home soil; major contender. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Reinvigorated by gelding/wind operations in March; good seconds at York and Ascot either side of a York eighth (behind Northern Ticker) where plenty went wrong; 3lb ahead of the handicapper; capable of being involved. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Gelded and underwent wind surgery after an unsuccessful stint in Bahrain over the winter; two good runs in 6f handicaps in midsummer, notably his York second in July (6f, good); only eighth back at that track two weeks ago but he stumbled leaving the stalls and then got a bump in the final furlong when still in contention for a place; missed an intended run due to soft ground as a 2yo and could probably do with it drying out. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Far from straightforward and his best form has come on AW; two good runs and three poor runs since joining Ruth Carr, his latest Newcastle fourth (blinkered first time) falling into the former category; not the most solid option but he is better than this level on his day and it is always worth a second look when Billy Loughnane is booked for the stable (four wins and four seconds from 22 rides). |
10/1 |

4th 10 (8) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
5lb lower than when third on his stable debut in February; struggled since and connections now reach for blinkers; not solid but he's more than capable on his day. |
16/1 |

10th 2 (10) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Blew hot and cold for Jack Channon and signs that it may be the same for new connections, shaping well at Wolverhampton in February but turning in lesser efforts twice since; well handicapped if this is one of his good days and the return of cheekpieces (first time for Ruth Carr) looks a plus. |

10th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Two wins came as a juvenile for Charlie Hills, at 5f/7f on different ground types; has plunged in the ratings. took third behind Exceeding at Leopardstown in April; unplaced favourite at Gowran next time; runner-up to an in-form rival at Roscommon before fifth at Listowel; capable of getting in the mix. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Both wins came as a juvenile for Charlie Hills at 5f/7f on different ground types; has plunged in the ratings and took third (0.5l behind Exceeding) at Leopardstown (7f, yielding to soft) in April; unplaced favourite at Gowran next time, but took the runner-up spot at Roscommon (7.5f, good to yielding); in the mix. |

Both wins came as a juvenile for Charlie Hills at 5f/7f on different ground types; has plunged in the ratings and profited from a drop in grade when third at Leopardstown on his penultimate start; unplaced favourite at Gowran last time. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Usually gives his running and won with a bit in hand over 1m here two weeks ago (1m, good); goes further this afternoon and off a career-high mark (4lb higher), so likely to need more. |
6/1 |
|
1st 7 (3) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Consistent across his five starts last year and won off this mark at Nottingham (1m, good) last June; reappeared with close eighth of 24 in the Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, good) and could build on that effort today; chance. |
11/2 |

8th 24 (15) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Reliable last season, going close under a positive Sam Hitchcott ride over C&D (good) in May; met some trouble at Newmarket on final start; not discounted, although he'll need a career best from his current mark. |

11th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not totally solid on his 6f turf form, having failed to back up Newbury Listed effort in two subsequent runs; however, has a respectable peak rating at face value and holds possibilities if proving suited by this change of trip/surface. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
8th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Fourth in two starts at Newbury (6f, good; 33-1) in July, firstly in a novice (form worked out well) and then in a Listed contest (66-1); failed by some way to match that form at Salisbury (6f, good; 5-2) last month and has something to prove all of a sudden. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf and remains on a career-high mark, so seems up against it; however, consistent record (12233) at Windsor includes a good effort (neck second) in this contest last year; solid contender back here. |
5/1 |
|
6th 7 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Steadily progressive since handicapping and it was a personal best when landing 9.5f AW handicap in April; back on turf with solid third of ten off this career-high mark at Windsor (1m, good to firm) one month later and he may still be capable of better. |
7/2 |

3rd 10 (5) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last time for a fifth AW win; upped in grade but receives weight all round and is a solid contender, with C&D form figures reading 1223. |

5th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up on nursery debut at Newbury (7f, good) in August and filled the same spot at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last time behind one who has followed up off 4lb higher; runs off the same mark as last time and he's a major player on his AW debut. |
11/2 |

2nd 3 (5) |
15th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Down the field in his first three starts (6f) but took a step forward when second of 12 in a 7f nursery at Newbury 17 days ago; that effort offered hope of better and a 3lb rise looks fair enough; this will be the quickest ground he's tackled but he's a strong contender. |

Ex-Richard Hughes; no worthwhile form since moving yards, under both codes, and blinkers replace the tongue-tie. |

Had some fair Flat form last year for Richard Hughes but he was beaten 32l in this sphere on yard debut last August and has shown little over hurdles in two starts this year. |

Still short of his best form but last month's midfield finish at Southwell was a step back in the right direction; 2lb lower today and no surprise to see him in the shake up. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Well handicapped on the pick of his form which includes a win here, but he arrives under a cloud; finished last on Sunday and hard to fancy. |
