28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
7yo who has a good record here and has been better than ever in AW handicaps this year, and he wasn't beaten far when fifth of six in Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; however, his form needs to go to a new level and he's unraced beyond 1m4f on the Flat. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
In the form of his life this winter with a win at Lingfield (1m4f) in February and close calls in his other three outings; those were on AW, which does seem to suit him particularly well, and also in handicaps, which leaves him with something to find in his first Group venture. |

Fourth in this last year on sole previous visit to Newcastle and he's now 3lb higher; went close on first two starts this winter before winning at Lingfield (1m4f) in February; could run well but may prefer a longer trip. |

Yet to fire over fences but his best hurdle efforts would make him of interest off his reduced mark; better ground could help, as could blinkers, and he's one to watch in the market. |

23rd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |

Soundly beaten in the autumn on his two chase starts but didn't run badly when fourth of six at Wincanton last time in a race that has worked out well; this lightly raced 7yo is on a handy mark on last season's best hurdle form and today's race may not take much winning; interesting. |

11st 8lb |
Ended string of heavy defeats when third in first-time cheekpieces here (3m1f, good; handes soft) last month but didn't find much in the closing stages, and it's hard to tell whether he'll build on that performance. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |

Only 1-24 and that win was nearly two years ago; he was in no form earlier this year and plenty depends on whether cheekpieces can trigger something; he's dropped to a good mark. |

Sole win came off just 1lb higher in May 2024; some creditable efforts subsequently but his hurdling has often held him back and he's been tailed off all three starts since January. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Potentially well handicapped but he's 0-7 over fences and has been well below his best the last twice, on good ground (tried a visor) and soft (no headgear); did win in a tongue-tie when trained in France and that aid belatedly returns; couldn't rule out. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |

Made it 0-6 over fences when tailed off in first-time visor at Leicester in December; however, the headgear is left off today and he's on a competitive mark on his best chase form; won on testing ground in France; could be thereabouts if bouncing back to form. |

28th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 4 |

Two hurdle wins and better form when second over fences in December in 2m handicaps at Warwick and Newbury, both on good to soft; short-headed in the latter but flopped when favourite at Hereford (upped to 2m5f) six weeks ago, when having three runs in just over a month was blamed; stamina to prove beyond 2m2f, even if he's back to form; yard is going strongly. |

Has been resurgent after wind surgery and he's won at Catterick (2m3f, soft/good to soft) in the last two of his three runs for current yard; up another 5lb but he scored with some authority last time and remains well treated on old form; key player. |

11st 4lb |
Made quite a promising hurdle debut for Chris Gordon in the autumn but beaten about 35l on last month's handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, good to soft); ought to be suited by today's step up in trip but needs to take a big step forward on first start for new stable. |

Disappointed at Newbury in late November but that was his first blip in handicaps, having previously posted form figures of 1121122 (from 2m to 2m4f; unraced over further); has got himself high in the weights but if back on song he'd have each-way claims if staying the trip. |
