30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins were as a 3yo (1m/1m2f; soft/heavy); lightly raced in the meantime and best RPR since being gelded came on his only run on soft ground; has never been lower in the weights and with the ground up his street he's considered. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner in 2024 (1m/1m2f; soft/heavy), the most recent coming in a handicap at Leicester off the same mark as today's; stepped forward from his reappearance when fourth of 14 at Sandown (1m2f, good) two months ago but has been off since; any rain would be welcomed. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Probably no ground worries; not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, but he was fourth in the Ebor last year off a 2lb higher mark; ran creditably on reappearance, before none of his three starts since panned out favourably; can be given a place chance. |
33/1 |

8th 5 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, but he was fourth in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to firm) last August off a 2lb higher mark; ran creditably on reappearance, before neither start since panned out favourably; only ninth in this last year on his only run at Goodwood. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Proved somewhat resurgent in the Epsom race won by Too Soon and looks a possible danger provided he builds on that effort; useful on his day and peak form includes a success in the 2024 November Handicap. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (17) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won 23-runner November Handicap (1m4f, soft) in 2024 and he's 2-3 here (1m2f and 1m4f) including a win on good to soft last September; those are the clear positives but he's been poor in three starts at 1m2f (snow/AW/good) this year; has a tempting mark if he can stage a revival, so needs a market check. |
20/1 |
|
9th 1 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
A very useful 1m2f/1m4f winner at his best but lightly raced in recent seasons and came in last of 11 in 1m2f AW Lingfield handicap in February; needs to take a big step forward after a break. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Regressive on the Flat and has 0-8 strike-rate over hurdles; not beaten far when fifth in first-time visor (now removed) on latest Flat start in June and returns to this code on a workable mark but others have more appealing profiles. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Hasn't won since recording a three-timer in 2024; last of six on return to action at Salisbury (1m4f, good) last month when favourite; has dropped to a career-low mark and first-time visor goes on; may be worth another chance. |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat racer who took pretty well to hurdling last season, winning at Warwick (soft) and Huntingdon (good to soft); pulled up in Aintree festival Grade 1 in April and made low-key reappearance on the Flat last month but can feature here if aided by first-time cheekpieces. |
9/2 |

13th 4 (3) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Fairly useful on Flat for Charlie Johnston, winning over about 1m2f at Ayr and Chester last term; also won two 2m juvenile hurdles early this year, by 20l on second occasion, but pulled up when 28-1 in the Aintree Grade 1 in April; off since and needs to be in peak Flat form. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Fairly useful on Flat for Charlie Johnston and going the right way over hurdles, winning 2m juvenile races at Warwick (soft) and Huntingdon (good to soft) in recent months; stable jockey Paul O'Brien partnered him at Huntingdon but is on Filibustering this time. |

29th Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Didn't always look straightforward for Andrew Balding for whom his form petered out; however, he won two of his eight races (1m/1m2f) for that yard and has joined another good one to go hurdling; bought for 20,000gns. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Dual turf winner for Joseph O'Brien but her form on the Flat and over hurdles for this yard has been patchy; plenty to prove back from 17 months off. |

14th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |

Better effort back from a break this autumn when second of seven at Catterick (1m4f) at the end of October but she was beaten 4.5l; AW debut. |
