9st 6lb |
Mixed form across his three 2yo runs and merely fifth on last month's handicap and seasonal debut at Southwell (1m, AW); however, he was sent off at just 3-1 and was found to have been struck into; there's potential in his pedigree and he may be able to take a step forward today. |

Won two in a row last May (1m, good) and is 7lb below his last winning mark; however, hasn't produced an effort of note since returning to Britain after a stint at Meydan. |

Course winner who won two in a row last May (1m, good) and is 4lb below his last winning mark; showed some spark at Meydan in January but hasn't shone in Britain on his two runs since and needs to turn things around. |

1-7 for Ralph Beckett last year, the win coming in a Goodwood maiden (1m, soft); rain not an issue, but something to prove down markedly in trip on stable debut (same owner) after ten months off; market useful. |

Narrowly won Goodwood maiden (1m, soft) in May and has made the frame in all three subsequent handicaps (1m-1m2f); rather disappointing when beaten favourite on latest occasion, though, and may not be entirely straightforward; tongue-tie added today. |

24th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
2-4 over 6f, keeping on well when scoring at Newcastle last month (cheekpieces first time); only fifth at Kempton two weeks ago (7f) when he made a big move in the sixth furlong but couldn't quite sustain his effort close home; change of headgear today; not fully exposed as a sprinter. |

10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
A drop to sprinting paid dividends when he won a 6f maiden at Doncaster in June; two subsequent runs in 6f handicaps have been fine but he will need the new cheekpieces to prompt extra if he's to win. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Dual C&D (good) winner this season, latterly when keeping on too strongly for Mr Lincoln last month; subsequent 4lb rise does not look excessive and capable 10lb claimer Leah Noreci is booked but the forecast rain is a worry. |
11/2 |

1st 6 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Came from off the pace to win C&D (good) selling handicap for George Bewley in May, her tenth hurdling start, and also ran well when third here (2m6f, good) on last month's stable debut; this drop back in trip is probably the right move; ought to make her presence felt. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Winner over C&D early last month off a 3lb lower mark (second and fourth successful since); maybe wasn't best suited by the drop to 1m1f behind Katalyst here last time, when hanging right (not for the first time) having looked set to win; holds fair claims. |
4/1 |

3rd 1 (6) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Off the mark for new stable when taking a 1m2f handicap here (good to firm) 19 days ago; a 3lb rise shouldn't be an issue but he wouldn't want this to get tactical. |
11/4 |

1st 4 (1) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |

0-12 on turf but ran well when fourth of 14 at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in April and didn't enjoy a clear run when fifth of eight there (1m2f, good to soft) last time; has an each-way shout. |

Eight-race maiden but she ran her best race so far when second in a C&D handicap last month; less good back here ten days later though and she's vulnerable to less-exposed runners. |

Inconsistent gelding who was below par in three runs in the spring; has gone well fresh more than once, though, and returns from three months off on a career-low mark, so no surprise to see him fare better; keep an eye on the market. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won a 1m selling handicap (good to firm) at Thirsk when with George Boughey; has gone close a couple of times for this yard, including here (1m, good) 12 months ago when 3lb higher; below par in both starts this season but not written off. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Went close off this mark over C&D last backend and a good test over this trip is fine; quiet on his turf comeback and only has a selling handicap win to his name but he's quite capable. |

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. |
