Scored at Yarmouth (11.5f) in October and is knocking on the door again, runner-up over C&D nine days ago; he can go well again off an unchanged mark. |

C&D win last December; off the mark for the year when winning a Yarmouth handicap (11.5f, soft) in good style in October; ran well over 1m2f here four weeks ago, carried right by the errant winner, and he's capable of another prominent showing. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Quickfire double at Lingfield (2m/1m5f; good) last August when the now-regular cheekpieces first went on; she's fired only once (last September) from her four subsequent starts, however. |
14/1 |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won back-to-back at Lingfield last August (2m/1m5f; good) after the cheekpieces went on but the last of those wins was by 12l and she's struggled since, presumably because of her new mark; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |

Second on soft last October; cheekpieces going on in August saw two easy wins on good ground at Lingfield (2m/1m5f); raced too freely at Goodwood next time but resumed her progress when third of eight here (1m4f, good to soft) five weeks ago; respected on her upward curve. |

28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He's just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D last December but he returned from a break with a heavy defeat over C&D in May and was again well beaten at Ffos Las last month; a major turnaround is required. |
12/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Scored on Tapeta during the winter (1m6f) but returned from break with very disappointing run on that surface last month and switches back to turf with a point to prove; usual hood removed from headgear ensemble. |

8st 12lb |
Made it 0-10 when tailed off on stable debut at Newcastle last December, and off since; however, she's well treated on last year's best form for Hughie Morrison and shouldn't be written off back from a break. |

Nine-race maiden; has left the care of Hughie Morrison for 1,000gns since finishing fourth of eight at Yarmouth (1m3.5f, soft) in October; career-low mark for return to AW; best to monitor for the time being. |

Nine wins over the years, including two early last summer, but he's been going the wrong way this term; admittedly badly hampered on latest outing; 6lb below his last winning mark. |

9st 8lb |
Five-time AW winner who is 1-17 on grass and finished tailed off in a match last week at Chepstow; did run well the time before but that was on the AW; due a 1lb drop. |

Only 1-16 on turf Flat and 5-25 on the AW, but latest return to form at Kempton (2m) bodes well for him giving Hope Rising something to think about. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |

Two course wins to his name from four starts; none of his six victories have come off a mark quite this high and he's lost his way since going in at Wolverhampton in March; needs a revival. |

0-13 but has made the frame in five of her six starts this year, finishing close behind Two Plus Two and Douglas Dc over C&D early last month and third of nine (just behind Walk The Moon) in a 0-50 classified event back here 12 days later (met trouble); frame material again. |
