25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner (good; 4lb higher today) in June; not so hot back here on good to firm next time, albeit in a better race, and although he wasn't beaten far at Chelmsford (AW) on latest start, that was in only seventh of 11; faces fewer rivals this time but not top of the list. |
9/1 |
|
7th 9 (10) |
15th Aug 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Successful at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) last winter and added another win at Newmarket (1m2f, good) in June; not so good back there last time, albeit in a better race, and others are higher up the list. |
8/1 |
|
9th 9 (3) |
14th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Ten races and usually seriously involved, this season's exception on soft ground; best efforts came in 1m2f handicaps on good ground under Neil Callan at Newmarket on last two starts, the latter a C&D win since which the second and fourth have both won; not harshly treated with 4lb rise. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Not in top form since returned to the Flat but solid hurdles record (1121322) suggests a resurgence is likely; ran creditably, albeit fortunate to finish second the way things panned out, in the Champion Hurdle when last seen in this sphere; has the best chance at the weights. |
4/5 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up (albeit fortunate) in the Champion Hurdle in March and easily made all in this last year (soft; seems versatile ground-wise); he enjoyed the run of the race 12 months ago and hasn't shone on his two Flat starts this year, but he drops back in grade today and may once more benefit from an uncontested lead; could make another bold bid now back here. |
7/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won the Golden Gates Handicap at this meeting in 2023 (1m2f, good to firm) and was a Listed winner at Newmarket (1m4f, soft) last September; runner-up in the Champion Hurdle in March, albeit fortunate; failed to settle when tailed off back on the Flat at Sandown (2m) last month and this drop back in trip seems a likely plus, but a Flat career best is required. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Record of 1-11 but he's well handicapped on his best form last season and was beaten less than 2l when fifth in a Class 4 at Chester (10.3f, good) last time; hood is now removed but he could be dangerous on this drop back in grade. |
6/1 |
|
5th 6 (8) |
4th Aug 2024 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well beaten after racing far too freely on heavy ground here (12.3f; first-time hood) in June and needs to settle better today but ran well on both previous Chester starts and may benefit from this drop back in trip. |
13/2 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
15th Jun 2024 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 1m2f winner in 2023 who shaped well on his seasonal return when fourth of seven over C&D last month; he can make his presence felt with a hood added. |

12th Sep 2024 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Listed winner at Newmarket (1m4f, soft) last August followed by a Group 3 second on the other track there (1m4f, good to firm); made a respectable return in the Lancashire Oaks at Haydock this July, before a lesser show at Deauville (1m4f, soft) in another Group 2; below form both starts in cheekpieces, including last time; needs a career best but 1m6f is well worth a go if she's back on song. |
18/1 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
6th Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Listed winner at Newmarket (1m4f, soft) last August on third start, and good second in Group 3 on the other course there (1m4f, good to firm) next time; below par at Ascot in October but retains potential for her top yard, which was won this nine times (stable runs two today); not discounted. |

25th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Juvenile hurdle winner on heavy ground in March; five months off before doing well back on the Flat this August/September, notably when clearcut winner at Chester (1m4f, soft); third in useful 1m5f event here (heavy) five weeks ago; major each-way claims. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 15 (11) |
21st Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Juvenile hurdle winner on heavy ground in March; five months off before showing improved Flat form when a close second at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) and clearcut winner last Saturday at Chester (1m4f, soft); up another 5lb; a rising force, with more to prove away from soft ground but the recent rain looks a big positive. |
11/1 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Juvenile hurdle winner in March and returned from five months off to finish a good close second back on the Flat at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) three weeks ago; pulled 4l clear of the third so a 3lb rise looks more than fair. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
His turn was looking near when runner-up in three handicaps during early 2024 but he's been out for a long time and returns after a wind operation; best to let the market guide. |

2nd 6 (4) |
24th Mar 2024 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo whose turn looks near, having finished a good second in a couple of 2m AW contests since handicapping; possibilities provided he's as effective on turf and back down in trip. |

11st 0lb |
Some useful Flat form in 2023 and his hurdle mark continues to fall, but tailed off/pulled up the last twice and needs to turn things around. |

Not beaten far when fifth from off the pace over C&D two runs back and it was over 2m when never counting at Chepstow; this race looks more suitable. |

Faded to towards rear in AW novice events at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in December and Kempton (1m3f) this month, albeit with her fifth of six in the latter appearing to be fair form in very warm company; has since changed hands and left the Gosdens. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 150y |
11st 4lb |
Not the most consistent sort but enters calculations on last month's second over 2m at this venue, when those behind included King Kali (fourth) who was returning after a lengthy absence; three seconds from his last five starts, but lesser displays in between; blinkered first time. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 9lb |
Dual-purpose; sole success over hurdles came off 3lb lower at Bellewstown (2m1f, gd-yld) in April 2024 for Gavin Cromwell; yet to really hit form for this stable, though did run ok over 2m4f here in August; drops in trip and place chance if repeats that off 3lb lower. |

11-race maiden (Flat/hurdles) and she's struggled at massive prices in her six hurdle races; long way out of the weights again and can only be watched back in trip. |
