25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who defied top weight at York (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago and won over this C&D (good to soft) last September; has run some good races on soft ground in the past; he's just 2lb higher than last time and can produce another bold show. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who won at Chester (1m2f, good) in July and returned to form when third of five in Listed race there (1m4f, good to soft) last month; he's saved his best for Chester this season but has shown promise at York in the past and the drop back in trip is a likely plus; can make a bold bid. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
This course rather dominates his turf record, most notably with a big career best to win 1m2f handicap in July in good style from the front; the scale of his defeats at other tracks on his last two outings is a concern and although better seems likely on this return to Chester, stamina is in doubt. |

Won Windsor novice (1m, good to firm) in June and bounced back from a lesser run on handicap debut at Ascot when making all at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month; he's in good hands to continue to progress and could give another bold account up 5lb. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner in Britain (1m-1m3f); made promising start to hurdling career on stable debut after 11 months off when landing 2m1f maiden at Killarney 27 days ago, beating Tyson Fury by 4l; jumping was very novicey and needs to improve; form of that race has a solid look to it and he's a leading contender; wouldn't want much rain based on Flat form. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner for Marco Botti in Britain; purchased for 89,000gns in August; brings a Flat rating of 89 for his hurdling/stable debut; should be suited by this better ground and of obvious interest given trainer/rider combination. |
5/2 |

Improved form after a gelding operation when going close at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) and Doncaster (1m2f, good) in March; respectable third of six at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; enters calculations under Rodriguez. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Quite useful on the Flat at his best; always behind on first two hurdling starts and didn't achieve huge amount when well-held third in slowly run Southwell maiden (2m, good) last month but is still worth a glance in the betting before this handicap hurdle debut; tongue-tie refitted. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner; won impressively on hurdles debut at Down Royal and then touched off in the Royal Bond by Koktail Brut; further behind that rival in DRF Grade 1 and beaten a neck by Le Labo in Grade 3 at Naas; still in the mix when falling at the last at Fairyhouse last time in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); can go close with a clear round. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Three Flat turf wins, including a Leopardstown premier handicap on heavy; has taken well to hurdling, winning Down Royal maiden and just denied by Koktail Brut in Grade 2 Royal Bond over C&D; 2l behind Koktail Brut when fifth in DRF Grade 1; sloppy jumping proved costly when beaten a neck by Le Labo at Navan; first time with cheekpieces. |

Three Flat turf wins, including a Leopardstown premier handicap on heavy; has taken well to hurdling, winning Down Royal maiden and just denied in Grade 2 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse; DRF fifth at Grade 1 level wasn't a bad effort either; skips the Supreme for this and sets the standard. |

Ended last season with a useful handicap win at Doncaster; below-par favourite at Newmarket on reappearance but is lightly raced and may rater higher still; more interesting than the bare figures suggest. |

17th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Successful over 1m2f but quite a free-goer and looked well suited by the drop back to 1m and being allowed to stride on when making all in 12-runner Doncaster handicap (soft) on final 3yo start; his new triple-figure rating demands a smart handicap performance but this lightly raced 4yo is probably capable of one. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
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. |
20/1 |

1st 3 (9) |
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. |

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. |

Promising return from absence when fourth at Chester (10.5f, good to soft) for new yard last month and he was best of the rest behind a handicap blot in the Cumberland Plate at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) since; enters calculations. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
2-2 as a juvenile but he didn't progress at three (quite highly tried) and left Karl Burke for 25,000gns that October; missed last year but there was plenty of encouragement when fourth at Chester (10.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; fairly quick second run back from a long absence sounds a note of caution but his yard's in fine form; respected. |

9st 1lb |
Returned from ten months off to win a Southwell maiden (1m) in August; that is strong form and a subsequent defeat in a 1m2f handicap on good to soft turf shouldn't be held against him; pedigree points to AW being more suitable than turf and there could be plenty more to come from him. |

Showed promise last autumn on both 2yo starts (1m, good) and came clear with very useful yardstick to win Southwell maiden (1m, AW) on last month's reappearance; cost 370,370euros at last year's breeze-ups and has potential off his handicap debut mark, especially now up in trip. |

Returned from a year off to reach the frame in competitive 1m2f handicaps at York (good) and Newbury (good to soft) last September; sold from the Gosden stable for 58,000gns last autumn and absent for a further 287 days ahead of this return for new yard. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Reserve; 5yo who has had just seven races, tailed off in C&D Group 2 here in 2024 on his only run on firmer than good; didn't spark again until gelded and finishing close up in 1m2f handicaps at York and Newbury last September; left the Gosdens for 58,000gns in October and cheekpieces are removed on this first run since; it's not the most solid profile but he's worth another go at 1m4f and isn't entirely ruled out. |

Posted three duck eggs after his novice wins last term; gelded prior to proving resurgent at York (1m2f, good; close fourth) on belated reappearance; possibilities off same mark if building on that effort. |
