8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a low-grade handicap hurdle last summer but this is his first Flat run since 2024, and he needs to prove he's worth his current mark. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has improved since handicapping, including a win at Stratford (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month; may not have quite seen out the trip when third of seven there (2m3f, good to firm) 12 days ago, but very much of interest back at this distance; 1lb well in. |

3rd 5 |
13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
In a first-time tongue-tie when off the mark at the fifth attempt over hurdles here a month ago (2m, good); up 6lb but this 4yo is progressive. |

2nd 9 (9) |
16th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has looked quirky but he's consistent and took well to new headgear at Southwell (1m4f, AW; off 4lb lower) most recently, opening his account at the tenth attempt; that form has been well advertised by the second and third since; highly respected in the retained visor. |
9/2 |

1st 1 (4) |
4th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Runner-up on his last four starts and beaten favourite on the last three occasions; rather threw away the Newmarket race he contested 12 days ago, hanging right and carrying his head high when in front; visor replaces blinkers this time; has the ability to run well but there are reservations. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
23rd Aug 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden but he's finished runner-up in his last three starts and was clear of the rest behind an improver at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm; blinkers added) three weeks ago; only 1lb higher here and he's respected back in trip. |

Won over an extended 1m6f at Doncaster in May but no progress since; could prove vulnerable dropping in trip. |

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. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Two 1m wins on turf last season and added another on AW at Lingfield (1m2f) in December; however, he needs to produce a bigger performance than he's managed across his four outings this year. |
40/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Lingfield (AW) in December on first crack at 1m2f and raced wide when sixth of 14 at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last month; this two-time turf winner remains unexposed at today's trip and is not ruled out. |
7/1 |

6th 8 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |

Won at Lingfield (Polytrack) in December on first crack at 1m2f; another big run when third of five in Listed race there (1m2f) next time; bounced back from lesser run when staying on for seventh of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) recently and he could be in the mix now back up in trip. |

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 |

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. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable. |
5/2 |

3rd 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |

Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March and comes here on the back of a good hurdling third at Market Rasen 13 days ago; this C&D winner must enter calculations. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

Tapeta winner in March (1m4f), and fair effort against a pace bias back on turf latest; no chances taken with initial hurdles mark (peak RPR 78 to date), but yet to encounter a sound surface in this discipline. |

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 |

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. |

1st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Gained a fourth Flat win with a hard-earned success in the 1m6f Old Borough Cup at Haydock last September; stamped himself as a useful recruit to hurdling when scoring at Cork last month. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
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. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Looked potentially smart when smooth winner on 1m4f Ascot handicap debut (soft) last September in first-time cheekpieces; hasn't progressed as might have been expected in three subsequent runs (favourite each time) but not disgraced either and may have found good to firm ground too lively (raced on softer than good otherwise) when fifth of 12 in a York Dante meeting handicap on reappearance (no headgear); still has time on his side and a potential class act giving weight away to lesser opposition in refitted cheekpieces. |

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. |

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]
