18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Very smart Flat horse for Andrew Balding; had wind surgery after his one blip over hurdles and then won at Musselburgh despite a slipping saddle (2m1f, good to soft); carries a penalty but looks a major player. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
1m6f Group 3 winner on the Flat in 2024; promising second on hurdle/stable debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; took backwards step at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in January but has had wind surgery since and he's a key player if back on song; versatile ground-wise. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |

1m6f Group 3 winner on the Flat for Andrew Balding in July 2024; promising second on last month's hurdle/stable debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) and this step up in trip may well be a positive; he's one to consider. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Absolutely thrown in on old form but regressive the last two seasons; insufficiently competitive this term; blinkers replace recent cheekpieces. |
20/1 |
|
7th 1 (5) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Course winner who is fine on slow ground and continues to drop down the weights; however, he's been regressive in the last two seasons and was tailed off here recently when the tongue-tie/cheekpieces were first applied. |
50/1 |
|
13th 13 (9) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
No ground worries but his career highlights (1m4f/1m6f) were in 2024, including a win in this race; 6lb lower today but that's after a rather muted 2025 when still with Roger Varian and his form went badly the wrong way in three runs this January-April for new connections; tongue-tie and/or cheekpieces, both fitted for the first time, need to work the oracle. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive in 2023 and well handicapped on best of that form; it's not been repeated and she finished last in her only two races (last August) on firmer than good; while there's renewed hope to be gained from the competitive displays on her last two outings, others look more potent as win prospects. |

3rd 5 (1) |
16th May 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Smart handicap form in 2023 included C&D win in premier handicap; below par during a light campaign last year but much more encouraging effort on second start this term when forcing pace in 1m4f Cork handicap 10 days ago, rallying well when beaten a neck; less negatives than some of these regarding trip and ground so could be the one to follow Kyprios home. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Given his useful Flat form for Charlie Johnston he's been disappointing over hurdles (0-9), and was again well held last week at Kelso; 3lb lower in future. |
8/1 |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner for Charlie Johnston (8.5f-12.5f); yet to score over hurdles (0-7) but doesn't have a massive amount to find with Lets Mingle and Summergrounds based on their recent C&D clash; the task isn't an impossible one. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has faced a few difficult tasks this summer and he proved resurgent when back down in grade at York (1m2f) last time; remains on same mark as when winning a spring event; beaten twice (fifth in 2024, down the field last year) in this race, however. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |

Won at Pontefract back in the spring and ran well here in May, but the wheels have come off since then; has finished out the back here in last two races, behind stablemate Castle Stuart on both occasions. |

Won at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in April; respectable fifth of 15 over C&D (good) at the Dante meeting in May but well held twice since, latterly at 100-1 in the John Smith's Cup. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 11y |
11st 2lb |
Useful three-time Flat winner for William Haggas; has developed into a smart handicap hurdler; stuck to his task when first past the post in a big field at Aintree's Grand National meeting (2m, good to soft) only to be disqualified for a whip offence; 6lb extra for that arguably made the difference when he was beaten a neck in the Swinton at Haydock; progressive sort. |
9/1 |

2nd 1 |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Useful on Flat and has quickly reached a similar level over hurdles, posting a career best when first past the post in a big field at Aintree's Grand National meeting (2m, good to soft) only to be disqualified for a whip offence; seeks compensation but a 6lb higher mark will make things tougher. |

Dual Newmarket winner, a 1m2f maiden and 1m4f handicap (off 3lb lower); has been a bit all or nothing but returns as a 4yo now gelded and remains in his top yard; ran well on his previous AW start; dangerous. |

1m2f Flat winner for Alan King; yet to win over hurdles but a close second at Warwick in May (2m, good); fair run when stepped up to 2m6f at Cartmel in July (faded after the last) but bled from the nose when pulled up in a chase last time; bit to prove. |

Ex-Alan King 6yo who is 1-30 overall, the win coming on the Flat in 2023; one effort of note for this yard when second over hurdles in May; well held on the Flat more recently; chase debut. |

Ex-Alan King, with new yard this year; overall 0-7 over hurdles and 1-22 on the Flat; return to this sphere over 1m4f here (20-1) three weeks ago wasn't greatly persuasive but he is well down the weights. |
