8th 5 (2) |
9th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Regressive maiden who's often pulled hard and is having his first run at shy of 1m; was among the favourites here a fortnight ago and is better drawn if the first-time headgear helps. |
9/2 |
|
6th 5 (10) |
25th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Mainly disappointing this year, and although has tumbled down the weights, needs to improve to take this on fourth AW start. |
8/1 |
|
7th 9 (10) |
16th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Seven-race maiden who has struggled in his four handicaps this season; dropped another 4lb but he was beaten 18l at Newmarket last time (1m2f, good) and has plenty to prove. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Failed to complete two of his three chases in the autumn and now reverts to hurdling after a break; suited by this C&D and only 1lb above his last winning mark but entitled to benefit from this outing. |
12/1 |
|
7 |
17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dual Flat and dual hurdle winner, with latest success gained here (2m, good) in July; not bred for chasing but held every chance before penultimate-fence mishap at Kelso (2m1f, good) last month and is dropped in grade here. |
7/2 |
|
7 |
17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Two-time Flat winner who has been in good form over hurdles this summer, winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) two months ago; this 5yo is a major player if taking to fences at the first attempt. |

2nd Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Turned over at short odds in ordinary AW maiden last month on return from layoff; however, may improve with that outing under his belt and now switched to handicap level; not written off. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
11th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed ability over 7f on AW last winter, solid third at this course on final outing (first two have boosted the form since); leading contender provided he's in similar form at this longer distance on return from absence; headgear fitted. |
4/5 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
13th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Modest form in 7f AW maidens at Chelmsford and Newcastle; early days but he needs a great deal better. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four-time Flat winner and quite useful, so his second in a modest maiden hurdle at Plumpton was rather underwhelming (2m, good); could build on that but needs to. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 210y |
8st 7lb |
No win since 1m2f Newbury success two years ago; form this spring poor; handicapper quick to drop him but no improvement; cheekpieces now tried. |

7th 10 (1) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 90y |

No win since 1m2f Newbury win in May 2024; form this spring poor but handicapper quick to drop him and jockey booking looks positive. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 190y |

22nd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Successful in five-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last Sunday, opening his account at the 15th attempt; clear possibilities in his bid for a quickfire Scottish double. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
15th Sep 2024 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
raced in third behind clear leaders, pressed leaders against rail 3f out, edged right when disputed lead 2f out, sustained duel with runner-up from over 1f out, led final 110yds, won going away |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
4th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Looked as though he might be on the way back when third of eight on return from 320 days off at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) in July, but has gone quiet again twice since; now 0-13 and hard to warm to despite dropping into a Class 6 for the first time. |

26th Apr 2024 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Defied absence to win on stable debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in January; this drop back in trip may help but he's been soundly beaten in sixth the last twice (1m4f/2m, AW) and needs to get back on track. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |

Three Flat wins but no joy over hurdles so far, including in two handicaps; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces; best watched. |
50/1 |
|
9th 5 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 169y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won three on the Flat but doesn't look up to much over hurdles; completely tailed off on handicap debut here when friendless in the betting; tries two new forms of headgear. |
66/1 |
|
7th 3 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Three Flat wins (1m2f-11.5f); beaten 24l, 50l, and 49l respectively in three attempts over hurdles; switches to a novice handicap but it is easy to look elsewhere. |

22nd Jun 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Not many win novices by 10l but that was the case with him at Windsor last month (1m, soft) and the horse who beat him on his handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good to firm) is favourite for Saturday's Group 3 Jersey Stakes; should have finished closer that day and he's just the type his trainer improves with experience; player. |
18/1 |
|
2nd 8 (5) |
27th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 37y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Went very close at Kempton (1m, AW) last month on his second start then bolted up in Windsor novice (1m, soft) on turf debut; tackles very different ground in this first handicap but his pedigree provides optimism he'll handle it, and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie; respected. |
11/2 |
|
1st 8 (3) |
1st May 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Confirmed the promise of his sole 2yo run when missing out narrowly in a 1m maiden at Kempton last month (well backed); open to further progress and there is encouragement for slow ground on pedigree; leading claims. |

2nd 1 (1) |
20th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well bred; his win when 8-13 in a maiden at Pontefract (1m2f; all three turf starts on good) in July on fourth start came in pretty much last-gasp fashion; gelded not long afterwards and this handicap debut is his first run since; could have more to offer. |
11/4 |
|
1st 11 (5) |
11th Jul 2023 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has improved with each of his three starts (1m, AW/good), most recently a good third at Newmarket; this well-bred Sea The Stars colt could continue to progress now up in trip and he's a leading contender. |

18th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Useful on the Flat at his best; safely held on first two hurdling starts (2m3f/2m1f) and was tailed off when unseating rider on latest outing but makes his handicap hurdle debut in a low-grade race and may yet transfer some of that Flat ability to this code. |
9/1 |

12th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Flat winner for previous stable; form for current yard, including twice over hurdles at Fontwell, leaves a lot to be desired. |

Maiden (0-10); runner-up in a first-time hood at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last May; has struggled since, including in three runs (9.5f-1m4f; headgear recently removed) in 2024; no reason to anticipate revival. |

Verdict
Distinctive chestnut HOSANNA POWER is taken to build on his Doncaster promise and go one better. Kingsley Pride, the chief threat on form, and interesting newcomer Star Ahoy are feared most. Another Dimension looks best of the rest.[Steve Boow]
