Won twice last year and is 2lb lower than when successful at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) in June; met late interference when beating one home over C&D 11 days ago (Green Team second); capable of playing a part at this level granted a clearer run. |

Well held in three runs for this yard (also saddle two others) in the summer and goes without a tongue-tie for the first time since debut back from a break; potentially on a fair mark now and worth a look in the market. |

Turf maiden winner a year ago and a close third from 3lb higher at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in January on his final start for Sylvester Kirk; held in both starts since returning for this yard in May with cheekpieces applied, but the drop in class offers hope. |

Has been a useful stayer in his time but losing run is up to 16, despite him having fallen 21lb below his last winning mark, and last two efforts were well below his best; best to look elsewhere. |

Defied a much higher mark over C&D in 2022; however, recent form is nowhere near that level and he finished behind two of these rivals here five weeks ago; losing sequence looks set to continue. |

11st 8lb |
Bought out of the Emma Lavelle yard for 3,800gns in July after finishing tailed off on the Flat in first-time cheekpieces; won a maiden hurdle last October and could go well if Gordon Elliott can get her back to that level of form. |

12th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Flat maiden despite threatening a couple of times; never finished out of the first two in first four hurdle runs and she had a stiff task from out the weights at Cheltenham in April, before a disappointing run back at this level at Warwick last month when appearing not to stay the 2m5f; remains with potential in this sphere and is one to consider back in distance. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
In the form of his life when winning four in a row for Ben Brookhouse last summer, namely a maiden hurdle followed by three Flat handicaps over 1m2f and 1m4f (twice) on good/good to firm; better effort in Bahrain for George Baker this year when third of seven over 1m2f (good to firm) five weeks ago; returns to Britain on a career-high mark and may prove vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |
20/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won the 2024 Ladies' Derby at Epsom and repeated the trick when romping away with this year's edition (1m4f, good to firm) in June; completed a hat-trick (first leg was over hurdles) when defying penalty under Paul Hainey at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and a 4lb rise for that success looks fair; usually sets the pace and he's a big player again in his bid to make it 3-4 over C&D; cheekpieces added. |

Seven wins over 2m on the AW here; getting on and lacks consisency now; hard to recommend having twice been pulled up over hurdles latterly. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Had lots of Flat racing and won eight times; has yet to offer a great deal over jumps (0-7) but soft ground was no good to him here last time; others are still far more convincing. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Eight-time Flat winner (1m2f-2m) who has yet to make a similar impact over hurdles and hasn't been seen in this sphere since pulling up over 2m4f here last April; others make more obvious appeal. |
