20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
All three 2yo starts were on softer than good, winner of novice contests at Ffos Las (7.3f) and Nottingham (8.3f); completed his hat-trick in six-runner handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW) ten weeks ago, never in doubt at 8-11 after he quickened on 2f out; up 7lb and on probably different ground but he's been winning in some style and has more to give. |

9st 11lb |
Winner of novice contests at Ffos Las (7.3f) and Nottingham (under penalty in quite valuable race over 8.3f) at two; gelded since; doesn't look short of speed but should stay this far; the one to beat. |

24th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Came good at seventh attempt, with cleacut success at Wetherby (7f, good) last month, and didn't really have race run to suit when keeping-on third behind all-the-way winner at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; remains very much of interest. |

3rd Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Justified favouritism at Wetherby (good) three weeks ago, proving suited by the drop back to 7f and opening his account at the seventh attempt; back up 4lb but remains unexposed at this trip; shortlisted. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
5yo who has raced only ten times; looked very promising in the first part of the 2024 season and things clicked again with a 2l win at Newbury (1m2f, good) two months ago; possible player after a 5lb rise. |
9/1 |

1st 1 (3) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Talented 5yo, but has endured some lengthy absences in his career and was returning from another 280 days off when seventh of 24 in the Spring Cup here (1m, good) last month; return to this trip is not a problem and he's interesting down in grade. |

1st Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Fair on the Flat for Ed Walker last year; made inauspicious start to hurdling career in the autumn (failed to complete consecutive races) but his run at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) in February was more encouraging and further progress is possible in handicaps. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
0-8 on Flat, with plenty of fair form (best effort at 1m2f); however, she refused at the third flight on stable/hurdle debut in November and was pulled up before two out when 66-1 at Newbury one month later. |

9st 4lb |
Wheels have come off since last summer's Ffos Las near-miss (7f, good to soft), including on all four starts for current handler; drop to another career-low mark isn't sufficiently enticing. |
66/1 |

28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Ex-Archie Watson; 11-race maiden and hasn't run well enough this season to suggest he can take this. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Had a close call at Ffos Las (extended 7f, good to soft) in June 2024 but much less to show for subsequent handicap runs, most recently here this month when back from an absence; one to watch for now. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A fair 1m scorer for Andrew Balding in 2024; off 22 months but quickly back on track with second of ten in 1m2f handicap at Ayr 11 days ago; needs considering off an unchanged mark. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Scored over 1m for Andrew Balding in 2024; off 22 months and came in last of 16 for his new yard in 1m1f York handicap 22 days ago; blinkers replace usual visor now. |
25/1 |

16th 9 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Useful handicapper for Andrew Balding but stumbled and unseated rider at the start at Goodwood in August 2024 and not seen since; returns for a new yard (same owner); a watching brief has to be the call. |

raced in third, headway over 3f out, led narrowly over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, headed inside final furlong, soon no chance with winner, no extra and lost second towards finish |

3rd 15 (8) |
20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
2yo win was 1m2f on soft; no improvement this season and although his sixth of 13 in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) last time was creditable, others seem to shout out more loudly for 1m4f. |

There's potential in her pedigree but he failed to beat a rival on her two runs for David Evans in August 2023; absent since and probably best watched on her stable debut. |
