22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed big prize over this trip on Rowley Mile (good to firm) on 1,000 Guineas day in May and was close third in another heritage handicap over C&D (good to firm) when reappearing last month; nudged up only 2lb for that and in much calmer waters today; good chance. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Second run after wind surgery saw him better than ever back on turf for a clearcut win in 12-runner race on the other Newmarket track (1m6f, good to firm) when last seen nearly ten weeks ago; 7lb rise demands better still but he's a regular Flat winner who needs respect. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
All of his Flat success for this yard has been on AW, albeit with good-ground hurdle wins too and he was runner-up at Goodwood (1m6f, good to firm) last August; has a run under his belt this term but to win this would require a new best performance on turf. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ran big race in defeat over C&D (good to firm) in May and is still well handicapped but ought to have been suited by the soft ground when soundly beaten at Goodwood (1m6f) in June and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Only beaten a neck at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago (has won on soft); 2lb higher and has to prove his stamina over this far on the Flat. |

2nd 3 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Regressed over hurdles last year but there was some encouragement with a hood deployed when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on his Flat return last month; blinkers (retained) were back on when a pace bias and wide draw did for him at Chester three weeks ago; not entirely ruled out. |

Useful Flat winner in Germany earlier in career and twice runner-up over hurdles during the past year, but now 0-15 since arriving in Britain and modest in two starts back on the Flat last month. |

Useful Flat winner in Germany earlier in career but has barely bettered modest form over hurdles in Britain and trailed home well beaten back on the Flat at Doncaster last week; outsider. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Cheekpieces haven't worked the last twice and now tries blinkers; his 10l third at Bangor last April when 9lb higher is not forgotten. |

12th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Below par on good ground the last twice but probably needs it softer, as when third at Bangor last April; 7lb lower than then so has to enter the reckoning despite his absence. |

4yo; poor maiden on Flat and hasn't shown enough across his three hurdle runs to suggest he's the one to be on for today's handicap debut. |

Poor maiden on Flat; minor RPRs in both attempts over hurdles; doesn't have the form to be considered seriously. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
2-6 for Adam Nichol and was only just denied off 3lb lower at Market Rasen a month ago (2m4f, good); in form and should stay this far. |
11/2 |

2nd 5 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
2-5 for new stable this year; gained the wins on heavy and good to soft ground but coped perfectly well with good ground when close third at Kelso (2m5f; first-time tongue-tie) last month; hood (worn for three of her last four races) is discarded; likely contender again. |
9/4 |

3rd 8 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won when the hood went back on at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in January and followed up at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft); disappointing at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last time but she was missing the hood, which returns today along with a first-time tongue-tie; could have a part to play. |
