Sole success came on AW at Wolverhampton and he comes here on the back of a good fifth of seven over C&D four weeks ago; that form is working out really well so he merits serious consideration eased 1lb. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

3yo who has an up-and-down profile and was tailed off at Southwell last time; however, he won at Kempton (1m4f) two starts ago and is also effective over this C&D; not discounted. |

The only 3yo in this field and made the most of a sliding mark when winning by a neck at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) this month; the fourth won here on Monday and he can't be dismissed easily from a 3lb higher mark. |

Course scorer but she came in a never-dangerous seventh of 12 on her yard debut in 7f handicap here 18 days ago; more is required with cheekpieces removed today. |
20/1 |

7th 4 (4) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins when trained by Karl Burke (1m/1m4f); posted her best effort for Darryll Holland when fourth of seven (beaten 1l) here over 1m3f last month but she was well beaten at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 16 days ago; drops down markedly in trip for her stable debut. |
18/1 |

10th 5 (8) |

9st 8lb |
Dual Tapeta winner (1m/1m4f), who gave it a good shot when a close fourth at Southwell (1m3f) four weeks ago; usually races prominently and has possibilities if she can find something extra with cheekpieces added. |

Good second of 16 (AW) on his stable debut/reappearance last April and went on to land similar events in June and July; turf no issue and was second of 17 at Ascot (also 1m, soft; acts on good to firm) in September; career-high mark but still respected on this return. |

Ended his 2024 campaign with a hat-trick, scoring narrowly at Southwell (1m2f, AW) the final time and taking overall record to 4-11; this progressive sort is effective on turf and one to consider. |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
No great shakes on Flat but comfortably won from the front in her first three completed starts over hurdles, including by 8l in a fillies' juvenile Listed event at Newbury (2m, soft); major backward steps, however, against the males in Grade 2s at Chepstow and Kempton. |

No great shakes on Flat but comfortably won from the front in her first three completed starts over hurdles, including by 8l in a fillies' juvenile Listed event at Newbury (2m, soft); player on that form but she faded badly when second favourite for Grade 2 at Chepstow (again 2m on soft) at Christmas. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut. |

Below form after racing a bit too freely in 1m6f race won by Sea Grey here three weeks ago but his two previous runs (10.3f/12.5f) were very respectable and, after only six starts, he's not yet fully exposed; could have a say if aided by addition of tongue-tie and/or cheekpieces. |

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. |

3rd 5 (2) |

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. |

Out of a well-connected mare but was sold out of Andrew Balding's stable for 18,000gns after very disappointing handicap debut in March (1m2f, AW); upped in trip for this stable/turf debut; considered only if lively in the betting. |

29th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

11st 7lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer with 2-6 strike-rate over hurdles; gave good account when third of eight at Kempton (2m, good) last month and is probably still on a workable mark but has something to prove on the much slower ground here. |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Useful Flat racer who was 2-3 in novice/maiden hurdles for Paul Nicholls in the spring; tackles much stronger opposition on this handicap hurdle debut and his tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern but, nevertheless, he's still very unexposed over jumps. |
5/2 |

14th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won Flat handicaps at about 1m1f (AW) and 1m4f (good; RPR 83) and he's found a new calling over hurdles judged by the way he won at Chepstow (dropped to 2m, good) recently; he shouldn't have a problem with this sharp 2m and is the one to beat. |
