27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Smart handicap form for Jack Channon in 2024; well beaten in two runs last year and no sign of a revival in two runs for Brian Toomey this year; starts out for John Butler off a much-reduced mark; worth a market check. |
25/1 |

13th 6 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Showed notable handicap form in 2024 but has posted duck eggs in three runs since that campaign and needs to prove he retains ability; best watched on second run for new yard, unless the market suggests otherwise. |
25/1 |

20th 19 (15) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Well treated on his 2024 form for Jack Channon and he won the Spring Mile at Newbury (1m, good to soft) on his reappearance that season; however, just two runs last term, finishing down the field in April/May, and he has plenty to prove making his stable debut after an absence; blinkers go on. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Scored twice in Qatar for these connections; question mark about ground softer than good, despite the official going at Goodwood last time when he was second in a strong conditions stakes; in good form in Britain on last three outings now but that does not mean he looks well handicapped. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 9 (5) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Below form two years ago on sole start on softer than good (soft); scored twice (1m2f/11.5f) in Qatar for these connections; looked in top form in the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m; eighth) and Listed race at Sandown (1m2f; third of six) on last two outings but a fair bit extra is needed to win this. |
25/1 |

4 (5) |
4th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Has scored twice in Qatar for current connections; came up short in Listed grade returned to British soil but ran creditably in the Royal Hunt Cup since; difficult task at the weights returned to this level. |

10st 4lb |
Won off this mark for Marco Botti at Doncaster (1m2f, good) in September 2024; however, absent since that November and it remains to be seen how much ability he retains; stable debut (remains in same ownership). |

16th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Had soft ground as a possible excuse for his no show in the Balmoral at Ascot last month and solid record in handicaps before that, including fourth in Hunt Cup and a defeat of subsequent Cambridgeshire winner Liberty Lane at Doncaster (1m2f) in September; has a 2-2 AW record; no surprise were he to make his presence felt in this higher grade. |

6th Oct 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive results at two and three; successful in York handicap (1m, good) most recently, taking overall record to 2-6; that form has been franked since; open to further improvement and looks appealing. |
7/2 |

1st 5 (1) |
10th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
7f novice winner on the AW and confirmed his effectiveness on Polytrack when a close third back there over 1m 18 days ago; that was his first run since being gelded and in a tongue-tie; likely contender if handling this faster ground (all turf runs on slower) and breeding offers hope in that respect. |
11/2 |

3rd 10 (7) |
23rd Aug 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Form of ready novice win on third start last back end (7f here) is strong with the second 3-5 since (peak RPR 100) and other winners in behind; excuses can be made for defeat on his return/handicap debut (started 3-1) and he could be a different proposition now gelded; tongue-tie goes on. |

Veteran who won this race in 2016 and 2022, albeit was in ostensibly better form at the time on both occasions; absent since a below-par effort over C&D five months ago; the market signals may prove helpful. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender. |
9/2 |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner, three times at around 1m2f (good/good to firm) last summer; well handicapped on his best form last season but he's been quiet in two runs this spring and needs to rediscover his spark. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won this in 2021 and was third in one of the divisions 12 months ago; returns off a 6lb higher mark than last year but on the back of two wins at Lingfield, the latest narrowly from the front off 3lb lower; thriving 9yo who must have some sort of chance. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Generally kept away from fast ground but won easily on good to firm over 1m2f here for Olivia Tubb early in the month; retains most of her ability for a yard enjoying a good spring but she's often come to hand early in the past and a 7lb rise will test her. |
5/2 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Registered his seventh win when scoring on reappearance at Newbury (1m2f, good) last year and he attracted support before finishing second to an unexposed sort at Epsom (8.5f, good) on recent comeback this time; might not come on a bundle for that but this trip is more suitable and he's in with an each-way chance. |

6th Oct 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Well-bred colt who won a notable conditions race at Newbury as a 2yo; has proved disappointing since, latterly in handicaps; chance depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

8th 7 (3) |
23rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Well-bred 3yo who is in good hands and has dropped down the weights; however, he's struggled this season and needs to turn things around. |
