7th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who won three of her first four starts on the AW, the latest at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) in February; has been mostly quiet since, though, and this looks a tough task; stable also runs Malka. |
33/1 |

5th 1 (5) |
28th Sep 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Very lightly raced 5yo who is unproven on turf and has been below par the last twice; however, she's on a competitive mark judged on her AW form earlier this year and is a player if back on song following a break. |
7/1 |

6th 6 (5) |
24th May 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Unexposed mare with a good record on AW, including a C&D win; wouldn't judge her too harshly on latest heavy defeat at Goodwood (Listed) and she still has time to do better in this sphere. |

Deep Impact mare placed once in six starts in Japan; nothing in one AW run for Sir Mark Prescott and in two starts at Dundalk for this yard. |

3rd 6 |
25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has been running well under both codes for most of this year and was clear of the rest behind a lightly raced winner at Worcester a month ago (2m7f, good); just 3lb higher. |
2/1 |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won three in a row on the Flat in the spring (1m6f-2m) and was placed over hurdles on next two outings (2m/2m2f); has won over 2m7f before and could plausibly still have untapped potential as a stayer over jumps. |
9/2 |

5th 2 (6) |
9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Completed Flat hat-trick when winning by a neck at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) on June 5; solid efforts when third over hurdles the next twice and he has to be respected off a mark just 2lb higher than at Lingfield. |

in rear, pushed along briefly early, ridden and some headway from 2f out, kept on inside final furlong, nearest finish (jockey said gelding never travelled) |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Won a Haydock maiden hurdle in 2023 (2m3f, good to soft) and lightly raced in the meantime; tailed off in her last three handicaps and had wind surgery since the latest; risky. |
25/1 |
|
9th 8 |
18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Sole win was in a Haydock maiden (2m3f, good to soft) in April 2023 and she's finished tailed off in both runs since returning from a long absence in December; has plenty to prove and she's untried at this trip. |
25/1 |

7th 9 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Haydock maiden hurdle (2m3f, good to soft) winner in April 2023 who had bits and pieces of handicap form the following season; tailed off on her return from a 617-day absence at Wetherby (about 2m5f, soft) in December and that outing will have needed to bring her on a good deal. |

3rd 8 (11) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole success came when trained by Andrew Balding in 2023; plenty of water under the bridge since but showed signs that another win may not be far away when second of ten over C&D last month, running on after her path was blocked; place claims at least. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
1-22; didn't run badly when fifth of 12 on her return from nine months off here (1m3f; first-time tongue-tie) in January; should stay this far on breeding, but improvement is required. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (9) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Inconsistent sort but she was placed over C&D in the first of her two starts last year, which offers hope for a big effort on reappearance; three years since sole win, however. |
16/1 |
Verdict
Top of the list is Gary Moore’s TREBLE JOY (nap), who has finished runner-up on Polytrack in the last three of his four starts and sets a good standard on his clear second behind a smart rival in a C&D novice ten days ago. Star Legend finished 3l behind the selection in that race but that was a major step forward from his initial form and he looks the main danger with more improvement on the cards. Third choice is Andrew Balding’s returning filly Ring Fenced.[David Moon]
