disputed lead, prominent after 2f, led over 2f out, ridden and quickened over 1f out, kept on well final 110yds, readily |

11th Sep 2023 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Still a maiden after eight starts but he didn't get much luck when a creditable third off this sliding mark at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last time; wouldn't want this to be tactical but he has claims if he gets a decent pace. |

The best of his seven runs was on debut when runner-up on Tapeta; the hood is again absent after a quiet latest effort at Newmarket; none too convincing. |

7th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Good second over fences in July but failed to complete his next two chases and both subsequent Flat runs were also disappointing; reverts to hurdling with questions to answer. |

18th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Ex-Richard Hughes; four Flat wins (one on the AW) at up to 1m4f; yet to race at this sort of trip on the Flat and not shown a great deal for his new yard; hood now tried; not an obvious candidate. |

Hasn't looked a natural over hurdles/fences and has enough to prove back on the Flat here having failed to complete the last twice; tongue-tie retained; blinkers added. |

25th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Juvenile hurdle winner on heavy ground in March; five months off before doing well back on the Flat this August/September, notably when clearcut winner at Chester (1m4f, soft); third in useful 1m5f event here (heavy) five weeks ago; major each-way claims. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 15 (11) |
21st Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Juvenile hurdle winner on heavy ground in March; five months off before showing improved Flat form when a close second at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) and clearcut winner last Saturday at Chester (1m4f, soft); up another 5lb; a rising force, with more to prove away from soft ground but the recent rain looks a big positive. |
11/1 |

1st 4 (4) |
14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Juvenile hurdle winner in March and returned from five months off to finish a good close second back on the Flat at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) three weeks ago; pulled 4l clear of the third so a 3lb rise looks more than fair. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won two from five last season and made an encouraging reappearance/stable debut when fourth of nine at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; stepping back down to 7f looks a positive move and the booking of promising claimer Jake Dickson is a plus; high on the list. |
13/2 |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
In fine form for Denis Quinn last summer, winning Class 5 handicaps at Southwell and Newmarket in August and running well when fourth of 17 at Ascot 258 days ago; he will need to be cherry ripe to defy this mark back from his absence though. |
12/1 |

25th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
0-15, but having dropped a long way in the weights she only went down by a head and a neck when third of ten at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 15 days ago; capable of another big run from the same mark; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

10st 0lb |
Has won five on the Flat at up to 1m6f; off the mark for this Flat season when winning at Salisbury by 4.5l 13 days ago; up 6lb but a contender. |
6/1 |

1st 7 (2) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Has won twice over hurdles this year and only went down by a head on his return to Flat action last week at Bath (1m6f, good); effective over this shorter trip and looks a good bet to give his running, which can't be said for all of these. |

1m4f AW winner for Roger Varian one year ago; shaped okay over C&D in April (first Flat run for this yard) but he's been bitterly disappointing since; now drops in class and the addition of a visor could help. |

9st 10lb |
Can lead; creditable effort on second start for yard when runner-up at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in June but he's had problems at the stalls otherwise this year and refused to enter them in July; capable but risky. |

Consistent dual purpose mare who was probably not ideally suited by the good to soft ground when respectable fourth at Stratford (2m) last month; on a good mark now and can go well if the rain stays away; usual tongue-tie removed. |

Ex-Irish maiden who ran encouragingly (third over 8.5f) here last month on second start for new stable; possibilities off same mark, provided she takes well to first-time cheekpieces. |

Not seen again for the Gosdens after winning on his 2yo debut (Tapeta) and was sold for £1,500 in June; didn't offer a lot for his new yard (pulled hard; now goes in a hood) four weeks ago. |
