9st 7lb |
Record of 3-4 this season for new stable includes two wins in major handicaps; took his form to an even higher level with impressive performance in a conditions race at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to soft) on last appearance; one of two Andrew Balding-trained runners who are going into deeper waters but may be capable of further improvement. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won in style at Newmarket (1m1f) in May, first home in the centre group in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m) in June and tidy winner of the valuable John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f) three weeks ago; more to prove on ground softer than good, which he tried four times in previous seasons; going great guns but needs markedly better form to upstage all of today's rivals. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Won over 1m2f for Sir Michael Stoute and scored in style on his stable and seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m1f, good) in May; first home in the centre group when sixth of 30 in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) last month and he could have more to offer now back up in trip; interesting contender for connections who won this in 2019 and 2021. |

Maiden under both codes has been running well enough in defeat lately but he has run poorly both starts at this course so questions in that respect. |

0-5 over hurdles and his two runs in handicaps when last seen in this sphere in April/May were not encouraging; some positives in his Flat form this year, but his 27l defeat at Tramore last time was not one of them. |

Maiden has finished in the first three in five of his nine Flat starts; not beaten that far in a Naas handicap latest (1m3f, good) when a shade keen early; eased 1lb and now wears a hood and tongue tie; could go well if settling better. |

Pulled up after a very slow start at Leopardstown last month but was only beaten roughly 2l on her yard debut/seasonal return at Navan in April and was well backed that day; not ruled out. |

AW winner yet to score on turf but has gone close on multiple occasions; carried head high when beaten 1.75l by Hurricane Helen latest on stable debut at Navan (1m2f, good) after 171 days off; up 4lb for that but should strip fitter and could turn that form around with cheekpieces applied; claims. |

Seems to run best when fresh and hasn't built on his second at Bath in April (1m, good); reservations in the new headgear. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Seems best when fresh and duly ran well (close second) at Bath on seasonal debut; appeared to be a disappointing favourite at Epsom later in April but that effort is excusable with the race likely coming sooner than ideal; only attempt under Tom Marquand resulted in sole win (off current mark to boot); respected on return from 11-week break. |

Returned from seven months off to win this race from off the pace last year; couldn't build on that in four subsequent starts last season but was back down to that winning mark when slightly unlucky second at Bath (1m, also good) on his resumption three weeks ago; of firm interest. |

9st 10lb |
Odds-on in winning a weak 1m2f novice at Windsor (good to firm) and now has to bounce back from a forgettable handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, good to soft); blinkers are turned to. |

12th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |

Didn't beat much in a Windsor novice (1m2f, good to firm; 4-9) but she's made steady improvement in each of her runs and there's stamina in the pedigree for this longer trip; interesting. |

17th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Bigger price of her trainer's pair when well held in an ordinary Newbury maiden on debut; did much better last time, when a clear second to a stablemate (third successful since), and holds leading claims tonight. |

9st 8lb |
Bred to be smart and has got closer in each of her runs, going down by 2l from the front at Newbury last time (1m2f); that form could receive a boost should Beatrice Shilling go well in the previous race; might be on a very fair mark. |

20th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
From a family that has served her owner well; 18-1 and 10-1 when showing significant ability in good-ground maidens at Newmarket (1m) and Haydock (1m2f); needs better to win this, though. |

From a family that has served her owner well; faded into fifth in 1m maiden at Newmarket's Craven meeting, showing ability while looking in need of the outing/experience; may improve. |
