9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Won the same Listed event at Chester in 2023 (soft) and 2025 (good), posting a personal best in latter; not seen since but he has plenty of form when fresh and cannot be ruled out. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won this in 2023 for Andrew Balding; useful handicap efforts for new trainer when third over C&D in May and in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month but they are short of level he achieved when winning this. |
7/1 |

3rd 10 (32) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Smart for Andrew Balding in 2023 when a Listed winner at 7f and in the frame in Group 2s; did well for latest trainer at Chester (7f, good) in May when, racing wide throughout from high draw, he still managed a close third to Myal and Never So Brave; back up 2lb but past form makes him worth a look. |

Ended 2022 on a high and she's continued the good work, albeit without winning, this season; runner-up three times in Listed events and also ran well in the Ayr Gold Cup when racing nearest the far rail; handles all ground but the recent rain is an obvious positive. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
His only turf wins came in a Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, but they were in 2023 and he needs the cards to drop right for his late bids; scored on AW in January but subsequent form, including when 40-1 in the Victoria Cup last Saturday, isn't good enough. |

Very useful but rather needs the cards to drop right and gained his only turf wins, namely in Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, in 2023; peak AW form this year when scoring in January; finished seventh (off 4lb higher) in this contest 12 months ago. |

Seems held by Marshman on Newcastle running but may fare better with that reappearance effort under his belt and bearing in mind he has been consistent otherwise for current stable; however, yet to break his Listed/Group duck after many attempts. |

11th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Four AW runs, winning 6f novice on Wolverhampton Tapeta as 2yo; nearly all best form on soft or slower on turf; seen only six times since Group 2 win at the Curragh in May 2022 but he wasn't too far off his best when fifth in a Group 2 at Chantilly recently and ran well enough in a C&D Group 3 on 2022 reappearance to think he can make a go of it back here. |

4th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Dual Group-race winning sprinter in his time who has finished unplaced in three starts since returning from 259 days off in July, albeit his latest outing was at Group 1 level; has winning form on Tapeta and this is easier so could play a part in the first-time cheekpieces. |

Went close at Newcastle on debut for new yard, taking AW record to 11113; came up well short in the Bunbury Cup since and is only 1-11 on turf; not the percentage call. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Went close at Newcastle (6f) two weeks ago on debut for new yard, taking AW record to 11113; effective at 7f; only 1-10 on turf and doesn't look the percentage call in this major handicap. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

4-4 on AW when trained by Archie Watson, including a 7f handicap win at Chelmsford off a 3lb higher mark; 2024 was disappointing and he was also well held on his reappearance in Qatar in January; should be of more interest back on AW starting out for a new stable. |

9st 8lb |
Running in this for the third time, finishing second in 2023 and 2025; on both occasions he arrived on the back of a 7f win at Kempton and he landed that same race yet again 23 days ago; should give it another good shot. |

18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

James Doyle is 5-5 on him, three of those successes coming in this race (2023, 2024 and 2025); he's 2lb lower than last year but weakened into last place when back in a handicap over track and trip ten weeks ago. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 1 |

Listed winner at Deauville (7f, AW) last November and defied lofty mark in Kempton handicap (7f, AW) in March; also effective on turf and was second of six in a good conditions race at Thirsk last month; however, this 6yo needs to be better than ever if he's to take this. |

6th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Well beaten on both Chester runs this season but one was her reappearance and the other was a tough Listed assignment; in between she went close at Haydock and she was a two-time course winner last year (7f, soft/good to soft); could go well now back in a handicap in first-time cheekpieces. |

Disappointing on reappearance at Chester a fortnight ago, especially as she has a good record fresh and likes that track and soft ground; however, perhaps she needed the run this time around and she's run really well on all three previous visits to Haydock; not ruled out. |

Won two 7f novice events (one here) in late 2022 when trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam; struggled in 2023 and he hasn't been seen since pulling up in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield 664 days ago (for James Owen); plenty to prove on his belated return; first runner for his owner-trainer. |
