20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
8yo whose last turf Flat run was in May 2024 (tailed off) with some fair hurdles form since; three seconds and two fourths from his five visits to Ascot, most notably when beaten a neck in this race two years ago off the same mark as today; that followed a 1m6f win and he's not entirely dismissed even though the 1m6f Copper Horse on Tuesday (first reserve) was seemingly his preferred engagement this week; usually wore headgear in 2021 and 2022, now tries a first-time visor. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Reserve; has a good record here and went close at this meeting in 2023 (1m4f, good to firm); stays 1m6f; some good runs over hurdles since last November but it remains to be seen if this 8yo is the same force as two years ago; wears a first-time visor. |

26th Apr 2025 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Useful on Flat and has a solid record (2122) over hurdles; penultimate effort in this sphere is a strong piece of form; however, rather lacks room for significant progress, having raced 41 times in total. |

29th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Not at best on the Flat the last twice, but her previous effort over hurdles at Bangor (2m, good) in September was encouraging, given she made a costly late error; unexposed in this discipline after just the five runs and not out of this. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Record of 2-42 and her last win was in March 2023; didn't fire as favourite when back on the Flat here (1m3f) last month but that race wasn't run to suit and she looks interesting on some placed efforts on Polytrack (1m4f) in the spring; not ruled out off dangerous mark. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
0-8 but he's dropped 11lb since tackling handicaps and took steps forward on last two starts when third of 11 at Hereford (3m2f, soft) and second of nine at Doncaster (extended 3m, good to soft); ridden all season by Cameron Johnstone-Baker; again in serious each-way contention. |

0-7 but he's dropped 11lb since tackling handicaps and took a step forward when third of 11 at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in December, having been upped in trip; could be involved. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won off this mark on his chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in May and the returning cheekpieces might help, but he's been tailed off on his last three chase starts and arrives with something to prove. |
6/1 |
|
5th 4 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Winning chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in May but progress stalled when beaten 53l at Market Rasen in July; shaped well when runner-up back over hurdles here (2m1f, good to firm) 11 days ago and resumes over fences in a first-time visor; has more to offer in this sphere. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made a bright start to his chasing career when scoring at Fakenham (2m, good) in May and bettered that when third off 5lb higher at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July; reverts to hurdles after a disappointing run at Market Rasen last time but not out of this if bouncing back. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who returns to turf 4lb higher than when last seen on it after a Polytrack win in the winter; 0-11 round here down the years and needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Lingfield a month ago. |
6/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D (fourth victory here) in December and collared only late on having set a good pace when fourth of eight in 1m Kempton handicap 45 days ago; he merits serious consideration eased 1lb in a headgear change. |
3/1 |
|
4th 7 (1) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Most effective when able to dominate as he again showed when making all at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; given no peace up front there last time and now 7lb higher than for the win, but dangerous if allowed his own way and does have winning form over C&D. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Pulled up over hurdles a month ago but he won on the Flat in June, albeit over an extended 1m3f; likely to find this too sharp a test. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won off a lowly Flat mark in June (11.4f, good to firm) but not seen over hurdles since 49l defeat (albeit on soft ground) on handicap debut in December 2024 and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry; tricky to weigh up back in this sphere. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a C&D handicap (good to firm; 3lb higher today) in June; fair C&D third seven days later and the disappointing show on latest outing was over 1m2f; case can be made on that winning form and some 2025 efforts. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Flat turf and dual hurdles winner (2m/1m7f, good) last autumn; hasn't seen much action this year but he went close at Lingfield (1m2f, soft) in June and was a creditable fourth at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last month; looks interesting now switched to back to hurdling and he's still lightly raced in this sphere. |
3/1 |

4th 1 (9) |
9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Flat turf and dual hurdles winner last autumn; close second in sole outing this year; may remain competitive, provided the return to AW doesn't backfire; 0-9 in this sphere. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Scored on the Flat at Brighton (1m2f, good to soft) in October and added two hurdle wins to his tally the following month; probably still on a workable Flat mark and seems versatile regarding ground but has fitness to prove after 172-day absence. |
