5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month for Jack Morland and, following a 22,000gns sale, he was back with his former yard when following up in 15-runner race at Ascot (upped to 1m4f, good to firm) in July; couldn't complete the hat-trick in a big field at the York Ebor meeting but still performed with credit in fourth; considered under Billy Loughnane. |

Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month for Jack Morland and, following a 22,000gns sale, he was back with his former yard when following up in 15-runner race at Ascot (upped to 1m4f, good to firm; always close up) four weeks ago; back up another 7lb but his peak 2024 form (a win on good to soft here) was better still; on the shortlist. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won twice in 2024 for Jane Chapple-Hyam; spent a year with Jack Morland and got off the mark for him at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) 19 days ago; sold again for 22,000gns one day later and this is his first run back with his former yard; back up 4lb and not proven beyond an extended 1m2f (unraced over this far); tongue-tie and headgear worn for his last yard is removed; quite a few questions, but peak 2024 form was a bit better. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
AW Flat handicap winner in Britain over 1m6f; ran three times for this stable, second at Leopardstown off 92 before luckless run in Ascot Stakes; returned after 12 months off in same race last time and ran too bad to be true; very useful staying handicapper and fascinating recruit to hurdling for top jumps stable; should stay well. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Dam is Ascot Gold Cup winner Estimate; inconsistent for Sir Michael Stoute in 2024; beaten on the nod at Leopardstown (1m4f) last May on debut for new yard, after which he was all the rage for this race but it was a nightmare for favourite backers, as he was shuffled back (from stall 1) and towards the rear entering straight before running on nicely until denied any room again in the last half furlong; absent since but same mark today and he is surely capable of significantly better; granted better luck, he should have a big shout. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Dam is Ascot Gold Cup winner Estimate; inconsistent for Sir Michael Stoute last term, best efforts when second on good to firm in June and drubbing his opponents over 1m6f on AW in August; tailed off in the Melrose at York (6-1) final 3yo outing but made a bright start for new yard when beaten on the nod at Leopardstown (1m4f) last month; needs improvement but there is a great deal to suggest he arrives here with major potential as a stayer. |

9st 9lb |
Decent 3yo who's enjoyed a revival round Chepstow of late, beating a subsequent winner off 7lb lower last month before following up a fortnight ago; every chance of completing the hat-trick. |

Prevailed by 1l in C&D contest (good to firm) last month on only his fourth start for current yard; back up only 3lb he remains attractively handicapped on 3yo form; respected. |

Losing run up to 14, but now 22lb below his last winning mark and showed a bit more when fourth of nine at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) last time; that form is working out quite well and one to be interested in. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
1-22 for Alan King, with his sole win in June 2024; had a respectable first two runs for new yard over C&D this season, before tailed off on good to firm at York four weeks ago; now 6lb below his peak mark. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His sole win came back in June 2024 but he often runs well and was third of seven at Chester (2m, good) four weeks ago on his second stable start; might be in with an each-way shout. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |

Much respected on his form for Alan King, for all that he was 1-22 for that yard; following a 30,000gns sale he ran okay over C&D on last month's stable debut, but no more than that. |
