Made all in Listed mares' hurdle at Kempton (3m, good to soft) in November and was runner-up (beaten 12l) in another at Haydock the last time, which was a good run back at 2m3f (heavy); should give her running but others might be better in. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
8yo former hurdler/chaser who turned his attentions to the Flat last summer; enjoyed a solid spell in soft-ground staying handicaps in the autumn and produced a career best in this code when winning over C&D (Dreams Adozen fourth) on his reappearance in April; found the Northumberland Vase too warm when last seen two months ago but he's not discounted. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |

8yo who is a former hurdler/chaser; enjoyed a solid spell in soft-ground staying handicaps on the Flat last autumn, and produced a career best in this code when winning by 3l on his reappearance at Southwell (2m, Tapeta) two months ago; a 5lb rise isn't harsh and he could be involved. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lots of Flat racing and lowly rated these days; hadn't shown much over hurdles but kept finding to finish a 5.5l third over 2m4f here 22 days ago on his handicap debut, and this longer trip looks the obvious move. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |

Lowly rated these days on the Flat and has shown little in three runs over hurdles; makes handicap hurdle debut up in trip and needs to show significant improvement. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

A fair 1m6f Flat winner; built on his hurdling debut seventh when third of four in 2m Doncaster novice 27 days ago but this demands considerably more. |

12st 0lb |
Has won four chases, the latest off 1lb lower at Hexham last June (1m7f, good); good second following a break at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good); should go well again. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |

Won off this mark at Hexham (2m, good; in added blinkers) last June; that was in a lower-grade contest (Class 4) and his productivity ebbed away thereafter (0-5; hurdles and fences); bit to prove off a 190-day absence; likely to draw benefit from this comeback run. |

9st 11lb |
Absent 666 days before this season; well treated on 2022 form when he sprung back to life at Goodwood (2m, heavy) 12 days ago, winning the same race he took two years ago and this time doing it easily by 17l; well treated under a 5lb penalty (due to go up another 4lb) and 5lb claimer is recruited; form dipped when he came on to this race in 2022 but he clearly has a huge chance if repeating the Goodwood form. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
11st 13lb |
Dual Nottingham winner; acts on soft, unraced on heavy; shot back to some form when storming home in an amateur riders' race at Bath (11.5f, good to soft) last month; well below form next time (1m6f, which he stays) but Henry Callan galvanised him to a 1m4f win at Newbury (soft) on Saturday; sole attempt at 1m2f was in 2021 but he had to hold on at Newbury after going clear and his appearance over this trip with 4lb penalty no longer looks ridiculous. |

12st 0lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles on good to soft, at around 2m (acts on a sound surface); stays 2m5f; some way below his best since last spring; well treated on form of almost a year ago if bouncing back but has that to prove. |
10/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Out of form on slow ground during the winter but his recent fifth at Wincanton (3m, good to soft) was a step back in the right direction, and he might be seen to better effect if the ground is genuinely good here. |

Well below best on soft/heavy ground in recent months and not yet proven beyond about 2m5f but now very well handicapped on last spring's good-ground form, and the drying conditions here offer renewed hope. |

Flat winner for Godolphin last September (1m4f; RPR 86) but well beaten in two good-quality Goodwood handicaps for new stable this year; could have a future over hurdles but is tricky to weigh up at present; visor removed after one use. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |

1,500,000gns yearling but scored only once (1m4f; in cheekpieces) in five attempts for Charlie Appleby and was sold for 30,000gns in January; flopped in a 2m race on soft on final run for that yard and gave no immediate encouragement on yard debut in a competitive race here (2m, good) ten weeks ago, then refused to enter the stalls for a 1m4f race since; visor is added. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Cost 1,500,000gns as a yearling but scored only once (over this trip) in five attempts for Charlie Appleby and was sold for 30,000gns in January; no immediate encouragement on his stable debut but that came in a competitive race here (2m, good) a fortnight go; drops back down in distance and might do better for a yard that's won this race for the last two years. |
