26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
8st 7lb |
Dual-purpose; 3-13 on the Flat for Michael Bell, all three wins over 1m6f on fast ground; has placed AW form at around this trip; modest form on easy ground over hurdles so far for this yard but return to quicker conditions on the Flat could revive; 2lb wrong. |

Four-time Flat winner for Michael Bell, rated 78 at his peak; best form on good/good to firm and has been soundly beaten in three hurdle starts for this stable; potentially interesting if the ground is not too slow. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Former Group 3 winner who's been on the slide for a while now; suggested he was about to exploit a much reduced mark when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month and he attracted good support when keeping on for third at Brighton (1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; overall profile far from persuasive but he still warrants consideration. |
3/1 |

3rd 6 (1) |
27th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Suggested he might be able to exploit his much reduced mark soon when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) a fortnight ago but his run at Kempton (1m4f) on Wednesday was a backward step and he remains without a win since his Irish Group 3 success in June 2022. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Average form over hurdles but performed with credit when fourth of nine finishers over C&D (good) behind Superstylin on chasing debut last month; may do better in this sphere but has his work cut out to reverse form with that rival. |
14/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Was struggling for form over hurdles before finishing a 3.5l third of ten behind Gore Point at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in June, but failed to build on that last month back from a break; makes chase debut off a sliding mark but others have more obvious claims. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
She wasn't at her best on her return to action at Chelmsford three weeks ago but was progressive last year and this thorough stamina test could prompt further progress; new blinkers replace cheekpieces this afternoon. |

1st Jun 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Came good with two handicap wins on fast turf last summer (1m6f/2m; wore cheekpieces) and was placed on AW on next two outings (2m; no headgear); has fitness to prove after 267-day absence but the cheekpieces are back on and further progress is possible this year. |

13th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Eight-race maiden who ran creditably in a hood over 1m6f on three outings this summer, on final occasion staying on from well off the pace when fourth on soft at Goodwood; cheekpieces instead when running poorly at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) 16 days ago, hanging left, but he now reverts to a hood. |

Seven-race maiden who ran creditably in a hood over 1m6f on last three outings, staying on from well off the pace on soft at Goodwood on latest; cheekpieces replace the hood; player if they have no adverse effect. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Six-race maiden who has shaped with some promise in 1m6f handicaps at Sandown (good) the last twice; looks a tad quirky but has possibilities if getting his act fully together. |

Has won five on the Flat at up to 1m6f; off the mark for this Flat season when winning at Salisbury by 4.5l 13 days ago; up 6lb but a contender. |

1st 7 (2) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Has won twice over hurdles this year and only went down by a head on his return to Flat action last week at Bath (1m6f, good); effective over this shorter trip and looks a good bet to give his running, which can't be said for all of these. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Better expected last time, after two poor efforts and back to the visor from cheekpieces, but ran below market expectations in finishing behind Merrijig; 2lb better off today but has work to do if he's to turn things round. |
3/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D win last August came off an 8lb higher mark; the booking of Billy Loughnane will draw some in, back to the visor worn for his two AW victories, but two poor efforts on turf lately will need overlooking. |
12/1 |
|
10th 4 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two 2m wins last year on good and faster ground; a return to hurdling stalled his progress and hasn't been at his best back on the Flat in his last two races, though 1m4f was on the short side after a break at Newbury; could stage a revival. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Latest of his six wins was in clearcut style in this race last year (good to firm) off 1lb higher, making all; running creditably back on turf this season and looks set for a bold show, but all of today's rivals are either in good form too and/or far less exposed. |
5/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
His six wins include two over C&D; no match for No More Bolero when second here (2m1f, good to firm) in April, although he is 5lb better off with that rival; fourth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) four weeks ago and holds place claims. |
9/4 |

4th 13 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |

Scored for the sixth time when making all at Newbury (13.5f, good to firm) off 1lb lower in July and gave it a fair go from the front when second at Bath (2m1f, good to firm; Educator third) three weeks ago; same mark and should make his presence felt. |
