3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Well treated on 2023 form but hasn't raced on the Flat for over two years and recent hurdles efforts suggest he's not the same horse now; needs to prove he retains peak ability. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime; yet to win over hurdles, but has made the frame on his last three starts, since returning from a lengthy absence; down to a career-low mark and holds claims. |

Useful on the Flat in his prime; 0-8 over hurdles but posted best of three runs for new stable (since a long absence) when third at Taunton (2m, good; behind Mi Sueno) last month and is another 1lb lower here; respected. |

27th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Improved 3yo, winning 1m2f Nottingham maiden on return and best form when leading home his group at Salisbury in June (1m4f), winner was a class-dropper who raced alone; however, he dropped right out at Goodwood after and needs to redeem himself with tongue-tie added on AW debut. |

9st 5lb |
Made all in five-runner maiden at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) in April on reappearance, by a nose as 5-4 favourite; creditable third of six on handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and the impressive winner followed up at Royal Ascot; now worth a go at 1m4f. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
A fair hurdles winner (also fair on Flat) for Ben Brookhouse; pulled up on his first two runs for current yard at Catterick and here this year though and he also came in last of eight on the Flat for R Mike Smith three weeks ago; very hard to warm to. |
33/1 |

8th 2 (3) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on Flat form for Ben Brookhouse in early part of 2025, but pulled up in two handicap hurdles when owner-trained this year; now in the care of Mike Smith for Flat return; others have much less to prove. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Fair Flat racer who won a juvenile event on hurdling debut in 2023 but was not seen again over jumps until pulled up in Catterick handicap on stable debut in January; current ability in this sphere remains hard to gauge. |

6yo who is 0-5 over hurdles and 1-13 on the Flat; tailed off in this year's two runs, at 1m2f and 1m. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1lb below sole winning mark, but very lightly raced since joining this yard and failed to beat a rival at Newbury (1m1f, good) last month; probably best watched on AW debut. |
33/1 |

14th 10 (14) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1-10 over 2022 and 2023 for Ralph Beckett, with a soft-ground win over 1m2f, but modest over hurdles in 2024; fourth of eight for new yard in a 1m2f handicap last July was a partial revival but that was his only race last year and he needs to build markedly on it; tongue-tie (worn as a hurdler) returns. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ran big race in defeat over C&D (good to firm) in May and is still well handicapped but ought to have been suited by the soft ground when soundly beaten at Goodwood (1m6f) in June and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |
14/1 |

7th 5 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Only beaten a neck at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago (has won on soft); 2lb higher and has to prove his stamina over this far on the Flat. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Regressed over hurdles last year but there was some encouragement with a hood deployed when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on his Flat return last month; blinkers (retained) were back on when a pace bias and wide draw did for him at Chester three weeks ago; not entirely ruled out. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Last three runs have been over 1m2f at Newbury and was bang there on each occasion; still on a good mark and has won over this far; seems fine on most surfaces. |
7/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

He had been threatening prior to his C&D win in an amateur riders' race three weeks ago; a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |

29th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Bath (soft; acts on heavy) in April and ran respectably most starts since; however, he was a remote seventh behind Miller Spirit over C&D 17 days ago, despite starting favourite at a track he does handle. |

7th 6 (8) |
12th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won at Bath (1m3f, soft) in April and has run creditably on most starts since, at up to 1m6f; unlikely to be far away if she handles this track. |

5th 1 (5) |
6th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won here in 2022 but has not fared so well in his three subsequent visits; won at Bath (1m3f, soft) in April and has run creditably over 1m6f in three of his four races since, so has each-way claims. |

11th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Back-to-back 1m4f wins on Polytrack/Tapeta earlier this year and the race didn't go her way when fourth of nine at Wolverhampton last week; good chance at this lower level. |
11/4 |
|
4th 9 (9) |
2nd Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Well held on turf in her two runs this season but she's 2-3 on AW and both those wins were by 5l in 1m4f handicaps in February; still looks feasibly treated on her best form and she's interesting back in this sphere. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
11th Jul 2023 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two stylish wins over 1m4f on AW in February and this lightly raced 3yo hasn't had many goes on turf; however, tailed off when back on grass at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) recently and has something to prove after that. |
