9st 9lb |
With new yard this year and much improved when readily making all in good-ground handicaps at Epsom (1m2f) and York (1m4f) this spring; a first crack at 1m6f isn't fanciful but he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat in 1m4f Listed race at Newmarket eight weeks ago. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Very useful dual-purpose performer; runner-up in Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen last summer and arrives on the back of a good effort on the Flat at Newmarket three weeks ago; very much one to consider back in this sphere. |
11/4 |

8th 2 (6) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Saw daylight all too late when strong-finishing fifth in this race last year (much better than his 2024 performance in it); Meydan this January/February did not yield much (stiff tasks) but he's now 4lb lower than this time last year, too well handicapped to be ruled out; rare run in cheekpieces. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Useful on Flat and over hurdles; good second in notable summer handicap at Market Rasen on last attempt in this sphere; filled the same position, albeit comfortably beaten by Rubaud on same terms, in this contest 12 months ago; needs a personal best to go one better. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Awarded C&D Queen Mother's Cup last June and much lower in the weights now, but that's because his form has fallen off a cliff; dangerous if blinkers (replacing other headgear) spark a revival but carries clear risks. |
40/1 |

9th 3 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Awarded this race last year when also ridden by Becky Smith, and 6lb lower this time around; can't be totally written off but he's gone the wrong way over the last 12 months and was well beaten at 100-1 here last month. |
5/1 |

15th 8 (12) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Promoted to first in 1m4f handicap here (good to firm) last June and he races off 2lb lower today; however, he wasn't at his best last year on his final few runs for Edward Bethell, and failed to threaten over hurdles in the winter on his first two starts for this yard; may be best watched. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won 1m3f maiden (soft) on debut last April; improved form in defeat in Listed race and 1m5f Group 3 on next two starts, before a lesser show in Group 3 last August; given wind surgery three days later and reappeared with creditable fourth of 13 in handicap here (1m4f, good) one month ago; has a bit to find but today's longer trip can suit and this lightly raced 4yo remains open to progress. |

He's dropped to a dangerous mark but this 7yo has struggled to get competitive this season and others arrive with more compelling claims. |

7th 11 (6) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |

Successful at the 2025 Newmarket July festival (1m6f) but has failed to repeat the form since; new headgear needs to prompt a resurgence. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |

Beaten under 3l in the Shergar Cup Stayers last time and is possibly running into form; however, usually races over further nowadays and this drop back to 1m4f looks a negative; cheekpieces reapplied. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Notoriously hard to win with and, bar a Uttoxeter maiden hurdle, he hasn't scored since landing a French conditions race in 2022; respectable fourth of 12 at York (16.5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; same mark. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (12) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
His last Flat win came in France in 2022 but he won over hurdles last autumn and was a clear second of five to stablemate High Fibre in this code at Newmarket (2m, good to firm) last month; probably versatile ground-wise and holds each-way possibilities. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Hasn't scored under this code since his French days in 2022 but looks interesting with usual visor removed, having gained all wins (Flat/hurdles) without headgear; yard also runs High Fibre. |

9st 2lb |
Won 1m4f/1m2f handicaps here in April, latterly under Harry Vigors off 2lb lower; then struggled at York's Dante meeting; back from a break with a second over hurdles last month; might just be vulnerable against rivals with lower mileage. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |

Dual C&D winner (good/soft); returned to form with two Flat wins in April, but was soundly beaten when back over hurdles here in June and contests a much stronger race today. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in two maiden hurdles in the spring and ought to cope with the forcast heavy ground here but made low-key return to the Flat at Haydock (11.6f, heavy) this month and needs that outing to have brought her on. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |

A fairly useful 1m4f scorer for Jack Channon in 2024; twice placed over hurdles this season for her new stable here and at Fontwell so needs considering back on the Flat. |

2nd 2 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful over middle distances on the Flat (five wins) and made promising stable/hurdle debut when third at Haydock (1m7f, good) last month; that run came after a layoff and she'll be dangerous if it brought her on. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

Third over 1m6f at Redcar on penultimate start but the bottom line is that he has not won since July 2023; what might offer hope is that, in a 56-race career, this is the first time he's had his tongue tied. |

11st 3lb |
1m2f Flat winner for Alan King; yet to win over hurdles but a close second at Warwick in May (2m, good); fair run when stepped up to 2m6f at Cartmel in July (faded after the last) but bled from the nose when pulled up in a chase last time; bit to prove. |

Ex-Alan King 6yo who is 1-30 overall, the win coming on the Flat in 2023; one effort of note for this yard when second over hurdles in May; well held on the Flat more recently; chase debut. |

Ex-Alan King, with new yard this year; overall 0-7 over hurdles and 1-22 on the Flat; return to this sphere over 1m4f here (20-1) three weeks ago wasn't greatly persuasive but he is well down the weights. |

12st 5lb |
Finished strongly to force a dead heat with Ryebridge over C&D (good to soft) on his handicap hurdle debut 13 days ago; wore cheekpieces on that occasion but they are now replaced by the visor he wore regularly during his Flat career; retains handicapping scope on his useful form in that sphere. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |

3lb lower than when winning at York (1m2f, soft) a year ago and very likely to have his optimum conditions, but a leap of faith is required following two poor efforts since returning from 308 days off last month. |
