1st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Trainer on a lengthy losing run but has had a good few pop up at big prices here down the years; this gelding, whose best work for Archie Watson came on the AW, will need to improve a lot upon his two starts for current connections if he's to follow suit. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Better with each of his three runs for this yard and wasn't beaten far at Kempton a fortnight ago, despite hanging right; stays this far and is quite happy on Tapeta, so he's one to consider. |
6/1 |

3rd 3 (5) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not the most reliable and winless since March 2024 for Gemma Tutty; hinted at a revival though on just second run for his new yard with fourth of eight in 1m1f handicap at Goodwood last month; not without interest off a tumbling mark with Oisin Murphy up for the first time. |

9st 10lb |
Lost his way last autumn and, after changing hands for 9,000gns, he was out the back on stable debut at Bath (1m, good; fine on soft); potentially well handicapped but has enough to prove. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |

On a long losing sequence and he was tried without usual cheekpieces when beating just two in 1m2f Leicester handicap 24 days ago; visor is tried again now but others still appeal more. |
13/2 |

6th 1 (8) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still capable of winning off 30lb higher exactly two years ago, but basically consistent at a lower level these days, and still well suited by a galloping turf track; this step up to 1m4f looks long overdue. |
13/2 |

5th 1 (8) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Has gone 0-24 since winning over 1m1f at York (good to soft) two years ago and needs to improve on this season's efforts. |

21st Dec 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His only win came in a 7f Doncaster maiden as a 2yo; struggled for David Evans thus far but he's dropped 22lb since August and many of those runs have come over an inadequate 6f; the booking of Rossa Ryan and the addition of a visor point to a better showing this evening; confidence would increase if backed. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Developed into a very useful handicapper for Ray Craggs in 2024, including a C&D win on good to firm; failed to scale the same heights for David Thompson in 2025 but has a reduced mark to work with now back under the care of his owner. |
20/1 |

12th 7 (2) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner off this mark last summer and better than the result (met trouble) when fifth to Sir Busker in this 12 months ago; shaped as if retaining all his ability when sixth on C&D return in June and there have been excuses for two lesser runs since, with Thirsk fifth last time coming over a 7f trip which is likely a little on the short side for him nowadays; no shock were he to go well. |
25/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Won two in a row on turf last May/June (1m/1m2f) for Ray Craggs (who still owns him) and fair sixth on stable/seasonal debut at York (1m2f) in June; might not have been over those exertions when well held over 1m on AW at Newcastle 13 days later; effective over 7f. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Five-time winner on a handy mark but it's been a quiet start to this season and, even if back on song, looks vulnerable to stronger stayers over this far; the return of a visor might be no bad thing. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
C&D scorer who made a promising return from a poor draw when seventh of 22 in 7f York handicap four weeks ago; figures on a handy-looking mark now and he's interesting. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended winless 2025 campaign with a placed effort in an above-average seller; starts his 2026 season off 8lb below his last winning mark but chance partly depends on the weather as he's best on ground softer than good. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Soft-ground specialist who landed a fifth success when scoring at Ayr (1m) in September; yet to get going in three starts this year but he's edging down the weights and the booking of Colin Keane catches the eye; requires monitoring in the market with every drop of rain in his favour. |

7yo who was better than ever last season, a campaign that concluded with a fine second of 17 over C&D (good); races off the same mark today but he hasn't shone on his two outings this year. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Short-headed at Carlisle (1m, good) in August and he's also gone close on soft ground in the past; however, he's failed to threaten on his last two outings and this 6yo remains without a win since September 2022. |
12/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Below par returned to Ascot (1m) most recently; still on a three-year losing spell but is very attractively weighted, being 12lb lower than when favourite for this contest 12 months ago (finished third). |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Bettered his 2023 third in this when runner-up (under Becky Smith) to Terries Royale in last year's soft-ground renewal; last win came off a 13lb higher mark in September 2022 but he went mighty close at Carlisle (1m, good) one month ago and this has likely been a target; player again despite stall 1 probably not being ideal. |

Five wins from 39 starts, the most recent coming at York (1m2f, good) last June off a 6lb higher mark than today's; well beaten in two starts since returning from his second wind operation and now has cheekpieces applied. |

6th 1 (3) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |

Won an amateur riders' race off a mark 2lb higher than today's at York (1m2f, good) last June but he didn't match that level on his six subsequent starts; never-dangerous sixth of ten at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) when last seen 181 days ago and has since undergone his second wind operation; each-way claims on his return. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Posted sound effort when placed off today's mark at Haydock (1m, good) last month but remains without a win since June 2023, and the faster ground here may not be ideal; not the percentage call. |

7 (1) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Some encouraging efforts off a reduced mark this season but his form nosedived at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) two weeks ago; has something to prove again after that and his last win was over two years ago. |
7/1 |
Verdict
Noble Order created an extremely favourable impression when winning at Newcastle in February and he’s probably still well handicapped. He’s high on the list, along with last year’s runner-up Shaladar and the three that ran so well in the Spring Mile, namely Look Back Smiling, Thunder Roar and Clear Angel (second choice). That said, PISANELLO returns to action on a winning mark, goes well fresh and looks to have plenty in his favour.[Paul Smith]
