8th Jul 2023 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Epsom (1m4f, soft) in April and good third at Ascot (1m4f, soft) next time; conditions should have been fine at Goodwood (1m6f, good to firm) last time but he was only sixth of eight and may find this too hot. |

27th May 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Grabbed the favoured stand rail when winning on soft ground at Epsom and a 4lb rise seemed to find him out at Ascot (again 1m4f on soft); may be vulnerable once more, though this faster surface won't faze him. |

25th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Scored twice in spring 2021; ran well in big field at Ascot (1m4f, good) on sole start last year and shaped as if his 2023 reappearance was needed; has the ability to take a serious hand. |
7/1 |

6th 4 (4) |
2nd Apr 2023 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
6yo who is very lightly raced for his age and ran well off this mark on his sole outing last year, when a good second of 16 at Ascot (1m4f, good) last May; there can be optimism he'll be fine on the forecast soft ground at this trip and he's on the shortlist on his return to action. |

3rd Nov 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Ex-Irish and sole win (27 races) was a 2021 maiden; placed in two (both 1m4f on soft) of six runs for new yard but the others were poor; hooded once this term; now has tongue-tie and a visor, both for the first time. |

10st 7lb |
Won three in a row (1m7f/2m, good-soft) prior to heavy defeat at Windsor a fortnight ago; however, the ground was soft, heavy in places last time which may have been too demanding, and he's not written off today. |
16/1 |

11th 12 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Won on the Flat in September and also successful on four of his five hurdle starts since, including on soft ground and in good style at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) last time; he's 7lb higher than last time and in a hotter race today, but he's clearly thriving and could go well once more. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

6th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won two 1m4f handicaps on turf for this yard last May; the handicapper has been in command this season but this represents a drop in class and she can't be ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
27th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Has gained all Flat wins at up to 1m4f, including here; failed to convince with stamina over 1m6f at Newmarket (good) last month; still has something to prove at this trip. |
12/1 |

7th 3 (8) |
19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Handicapper caught up after her two 1m4f wins in May 2022 but she continues to run with credit; not proven beyond 1m4f but it now looks worth a go and there are probably no ground worries for her; one of many with place claims. |

Has won three of her last six starts including an Ayr Listed contest (1m2f, good) last month; ran well to finish fifth of 13 in a Haydock Group 3 (1m4f, good) 20 days ago and placed in both AW starts, but she may be vulnerable to a less-exposed type. |

22nd May 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Prominent-racer who won two handicaps in a row at Newmarket (1m2f, good/good to firm) last autumn before fair fourth of six in Listed race there (1m2f, heavy); below par in Goodwood Listed race (1m4f, soft) on return but could improve for that outing and is not ruled out. |

1m6f win at Sandown last July and beaten by a head over hurdles in November; those were two of the best efforts in a very in-and-out campaign (hampered on sole start here) and he was always behind when reappearing 12 days ago; wore cheekpieces on six of his last seven starts but they're off today. |

No win since May 2021; ran well at Chester in May off a 9lb higher mark but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; this drop into 0-80 company can help but he's far from bombproof. |

Got back on the scoresheet over C&D (Class 4) last July but he's not really gone on from that and has been well held in his three runs this year; has dipped back below his last winning mark but he's not easy to predict and others are preferred. |

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. |
