14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Going the right way, and a handicap win at Doncaster (1m2f) last month was a career best; however, he's up significantly in grade here and will need another jolt of improvement to follow up; the Doncaster run was his first encounter with soft ground, so the more rain that falls, the better. |

Scored by wide margin here (1m Class 4) in May; creditable second off this 9lb higher mark on two occasions since, latest at Newbury (good to soft) upped to 1m2f; could go well again. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Built on the promise of his seasonal return when a close second at Warwick (2m, good) last month, despite making a mistake at the last; a 5lb rise asks a little more, though Lewis Stones's 3lb claim helps offset that, and he still looks favourably treated on his best Flat form; with further progress likely, he's high on the shortlist. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Sole success came on the Flat in a Sandown maiden in 2023 when trained by Alan King; beaten 29l on stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 18 days ago in his first handicap hurdle; best watched. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Sole success on the Flat came in a Sandown maiden in 2023 when trained by Alan King; no joy in three runs over hurdles; sold for 10,000gns to join new yard in October; makes handicap debut and probably best watched for now. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Made no impact last autumn in first two handicaps (1m2f/1m6f, soft) and absent since; however, his trainer has won this three times since 2011, including with the reappearing Sinjaari in 2020, and this lightly raced 4yo showed considerable promise earlier last year; very interesting contender. |

13th Oct 2023 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
A win and two seconds at novice level, best form when beaten a neck at Hamilton (1m3f, good to soft) in August; rather disappointing when favourite for 1m2f handicap debut at Doncaster (soft) but there's been a rethink about his trip; trainer (runs two) won this race in 2019 and 2022. |

3rd 2 (5) |
14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |

Form figures of 212 reflect his solid record at novice level; achieved a very useful RPR at Hamilton (1m3f, good to soft) most recently, pulling clear of the remainder; looks the type to improve further and do well in handicaps; respected. |

9st 13lb |
4yo who has enjoyed a progressive season with three handicap wins (1m4f, good to soft/good; including here); won soft-ground novice over C&D last year; however, he's gone off the boil the last twice and has to bounce back. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Progress has not been smooth but he's scored this season over 1m4f at Doncaster, Haydock and Ripon; fair fifth of nine at Ayr (1m5f, sole run on good to firm) on penultimate start perhaps dents his prospects and he was well beaten last term on sole attempt at 1m6f; however, he's looked good for those three wins, better than the winning margin suggests on last two occasions. |

14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has taken her form to a new level in 1m2f handicaps the last twice, winning at Newmarket (good) then close second at York Ebor festival (good to firm); open to further progress at this distance; in the mix. |

2nd 3 (1) |
25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Folded over 1m4f at Royal Ascot having gone off too fast in the early stages; benefited from the return to 1m2f and economical tactics at Newmarket (good) since; still unexposed in handicaps and may build on that win. |
9/1 |

1st 3 (1) |
29th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Reportedly lost her action on the soft ground when pulled up in the Cheshire Oaks (1m3f) on reappearance; returned to form when fifth of 11 in Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 16 days later but overdid it up front when tailed off in 1m4f handicap at Royal Ascot (40-1); unfair to judge her on that latest run but she needs overall improvement. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Lacks both consistency and recent match practice (absent for 200 days) but holds a fighting chance provided he's in top form; has gained both handicap wins off 2lb higher, including over C&D (good) last July. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Won a 1m novice here easily as a 2yo when trained by the Gosdens; back off the same mark as when successful at York (7f, good) in July and wasn't beaten far, albeit only eighth of 14, at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) 19 days ago; not ruled out. |

9st 3lb |
Won four races in succession in 2023, three over 7f on the AW, the other over 1m here (good); hasn't won since; mainly disappointing last season and tailed off on AW on stable debut last time; best watched for now. |

23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

29th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
His wins have come on good to soft (unproven on soft/heavy); dropping down the weights and the drop back in trip could help, but he was beaten a long way the last twice and needs to turn things around in first-time blinkers. |
9/1 |

11th 5 (10) |
7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; tailed off on final start last term (his only run on soft) but third of six at Lingfield (11.6f, good) on reappearance this May was career-best form; 3lb lower today, following a poor show at Epsom (good to soft) on Derby Day; mixed messages there and not certain to get 1m6f. |
