17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Close third in two handicaps at Worcester (2m, good) during the summer but he's been well held in his last two starts; on dangerous mark but has bit to prove again and he's now 1-11 over hurdles. |
16/1 |

5th 4 |
25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Close third in consecutive C&D (good) races in June/July, latterly when two short heads behind Mojo Eho, and subsequent defeat in competitive Class 3 race at Cartmel can be overlooked; ought to make his presence felt. |
5/1 |
|
7th 14 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Close third at Worcester (2m, good) on both starts since returned to hurdling in June; not yet fully exposed over hurdles, but moves up from Class 5 today and the forecast rain may not be in his favour. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Signed off for Ralph Beckett in good form on AW in autumn 2024 but, following a long absence, he was well held this summer in his two runs for new connections; some ability remains but he's best watched for now. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Signed off for Ralph Beckett in good form in autumn 2024 but, following a long absence, was last of four on last month's stable debut (1m4f, turf); might need a few more runs before he's of interest again. |
20/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Southwell handicap (1m4f; visor first time) and was placed seven times for Ralph Beckett in 2024; subsequently sold for 42,000gns in October 2024, but hasn't run since; no easy task after a long break. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not had lots of racing and things were looking up when edging out a useful yardstick at Doncaster in May (1m6f, good to firm), only to then not beat a rival in his next two races (1m5f/2m); back to the drawing board. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful at Doncaster (14.5f) on reappearance, opening his account; last of five in 1m5f AW event since but looks likely to be better suited by this step back up in distance and return to turf; showed solid promise at Newbury on debut; may do better still and remains of interest. |

Last success was off 7lb higher at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last December; best recent run when beaten 2l into third over this C&D last month; holds place claims. |

3rd 1 (9) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Two 1m wins on turf (good to firm/good) last year and later won over 1m2f on the Polytrack; well treated on the pick of that form but he's been quiet this year and was well held back from a break at York 16 days ago; needs to raise his game. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
1m2f Flat winner who has yet to show anything of note over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago; needs this step up in trip and the tongue-tie to spark considerable improvement. |
25/1 |

6th 6 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1m2f Flat winner who has been completely tailed off in all three runs over hurdles; at least goes handicapping off a lowly mark and drying ground would help matters, so watch the weather. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Refused to race at Musselburgh in February when last seen so comes with a risk attached; however, prior to that he won a juvenile hurdle at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) and has potential off this opening mark in view of his useful Flat form (effective on soft in that code). |

Narrowly justified favouritism at Wetherby (second hurdles attempt) last time, adding to his Flat win; stiffer task upped in grade but may be capable of further improvement. |

Had a near miss over C&D on his stable debut last month but neither run since has been quite so good; a new visor replaces cheekpieces this time; not ruled out. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Ex-Charlie Johnston; went close on stable debut over C&D last month but he wasn't in the same form when a 5-4 favourite here a week later; that took his record to 0-10 and he needs to step up again after that latest run. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
He's won twice under Rebecca Hitchen, most recently when reverting to hurdles and defying a first-flight blunder at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month; just 3lb higher today and in the mix if producing another good run. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 |
29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Modest fifth over hurdles at Cartmel in July and a similar story back on the Flat twice since; Rebecca Hitchen's 10lb claim is helpful from a handicapping perspective. |
7/1 |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |

Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March; mainly in good form subsequently but not at his best when sixth of seven in 1m6f handicap here last month; the sort to bounce back. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Showed improved form (won/second) in 2m handicaps at Goodwood in May; came up short at Royal Ascot (2m4f) since but may have more to offer back down in trip/grade; tongue-tie applied. |
8/1 |
|
12th 19 (7) |
17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Tailed off last June in the Derby and 1m4f Group 2 at this meeting; gelded and reappeared this season with two improved performances in 2m handicaps on good ground at Goodwood, winning the first in emphatic style and collared close home by Manxman on latest; up another 2lb but another bold show may well be on its way. |

By Golden Horn and the first foal of an unraced half-sister to 1m4f Group 1 winner Behkabad; second favourite for maiden at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in November, slowly away and held up last until 3f out before running on into third of 11, just in front of the hampered Games People Play; others have better form but he could leave his well behind. |

Gained a fourth Flat win for William Haggas with a hard-earned success in the 1m6f Old Borough Cup at Haydock last September; looked like a useful recruit to hurdling when winning at Cork in January; had plenty to do when clipping heels and unseating on the home turn in a Grade 1 here in February; valuable 5lb claimed. |

Looked one to follow when impressive on handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, soft) last September; failed to kick on from that initially but got back on track with convincing win in small field at Ripon (1m4f, soft) in July; could have more to offer for top yard now things have clicked again, especially now back up in trip, and he's not necessarily a soft-ground specialist. |

16th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not an immediate hit in handicaps but the step up to 2m saw him win twice on turf and once over C&D; foiled in the four-timer at Southwell but he lost nothing in a tenacious defeat to one who is now 3-3 at distances beyond 2m (first two well clear); up another 3lb but looks sure to go well. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Typical improver from the yard who bids for a four-timer after two wins over 2m on turf and a particularly emphatic success at Kempton (2m, Polytrack); has been hit with another 10lb rise for that latest success, but folly to rule him out given the possibility of further progress. |
9/4 |

1st 8 (10) |
7th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A few costly defeats in early summer but has got it together since tackling this trip and may well have more to offer upped another 5lb on his AW debut (is a half-brother to a Polytrack winner); is shortlisted for a stable in its usual high-summer form. |
6/4 |
Verdict
Love Warrior and HOSAAMM put up similar, game, front-running performances over 1m on soft ground first time out and it’s not easy to choose between them but they could fight it out. Move On In and Duke’s Command are next on the list among those who have run, while Mr Hampstead and The Reverend are newcomers who could have a big say.[Richard Austen]
