22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has been keeping busy, winning at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last month and going close on two of his three starts since, most recently beaten half a length at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); has won here and is capable of another bold bid. |
7/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Usually front-runs; never better than with his first and second at the end of last month, which were on AW however and his top four RPRs have now been registered in that sphere; something to find on turf, including as he was third here (1m6f, good to firm) earlier in July but is now 7lb higher and he dropped out at Chepstow on Thursday. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Last won in August 2024; placed in three of eight starts last term and it was a hot race in which she was well beaten at York (40-1) on 2026 return; 15lb below peak mark but others seem to be banging on the door more loudly. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Twice runner-up over 2m from five visits here, plus fourth of 20 in this race in 2024; ran creditably over 1m4f on 2025 return and is 11lb lower for this reappearance, but others seem to be banging on the door more loudly. |
20/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
First and second in two visits here (1m6f, soft/good to soft); patchy form so far this year and ideally would prefer further, but she has dropped 5lb lower than when last successful; respected. |

5th Aug 2024 Good 2m 2f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Two-time Flat winner at 2m for Keith Dalgleish (best RPR 88); took too long to settle on hurdling bow at Worcester last month; tailed off back on the Flat at Galway last week; best watched for now. |
28/1 |

31st Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y |
10st 2lb |
disputed lead, led clearly after 3f, faced challenge halfway, soon headed |

18th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Beaten a long way on last two Flat starts, in July 2023 and this February (stable debut); therefore has something to prove but he showed useful form as recent as last May and will be a strong contender if tapping into that ability on today's hurdle debut; the betting may be informative. |
