13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful on the Flat at his best and made the frame in two maiden hurdles in April 2025 (both 2m, good); this is his first run since and he doesn't set a daunting form standard but, nevertheless, he's a big player. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four-time Flat winner and quite useful, so his second in a modest maiden hurdle at Plumpton was rather underwhelming (2m, good); could build on that but needs to. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well when second of nine in returning cheekpieces at Leicester (1m4f, good) 15 days ago, but all seven wins have been on the AW; still 6lb lower than for the latest of those, but he attempts beyond 1m6f for the first time on his 63rd outing. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All seven wins have been on the AW (1m2f-1m4f) and he ran creditably on his last two starts; however, he's yet to finish in the first three in five starts on turf and others are preferred; cheekpieces are back on for the first time since 2024. |

7th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Again didn't look straightforward here last time, on his second run back from a long absence, pulling hard having jumped awkwardly from the stalls; that was over 1m3f and he'll need to be way more amenable over this trip. |
10/1 |

3rd 2 (8) |
10th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-5; was having his first race in over three years (gelded in the meantime) when fifth of seven on stable debut at Goodwood (1m6f, good to soft) last month; didn't look the most straightforward there and others are more compelling for now. |
12/1 |

5th 7 (8) |
14th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden whose best efforts in France as a 3yo came on soft ground; has been gelded and is entitled to need this first run in more than three years for a yard also responsible for Miller Spirit. |

9st 5lb |
Doubled his winning tally with a game success at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) 20 days ago; 3lb higher and still needs to prove his stamina over this far, but a major player otherwise. |

3rd 8 (1) |
1st Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ended last year with a Wolverhampton win (9.4f, Tapeta) but he's finished down the field in two runs at Nottingham (1m2f/8.3f) this spring; wasn't beaten far last time and is effective at 1m2f on Polytrack but others are more persuasive. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Won over 1m2f on turf last August and AW in October; also had AW form in the winter but recent efforts do not look persuasive. |
25/1 |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten twice in a row over hurdles this spring and only fifth of seven when back on the Flat at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago; however, he won over C&D last August on his sole previous course visit and is well treated on AW form as recent as February; not written off. |
13/2 |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner (from four runs), latterly off a 1lb lower mark last autumn; said to have stopped quickly when well beaten at a short price over hurdles last month, which leaves him a bit to prove, but he has one of the more experienced jockeys up. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 4lb |
British challenger; dual-purpose; has won on the AW on the Flat but is 0-10 over hurdles; went close off 1lb lower at Huntingdon (20.5f, soft) in January; ground may have been too lively at Southwell latest; could outrun his odds back on easier ground. |
28/1 |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
No match for the winner in his last two races over hurdles but both were well handicapped and returning to a longer trip looks the right move; on the shortlist. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Flattered by close proximity to one who hacked up at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) but still ran well; fine over this shorter trip and didn't run too badly on the AW last time. |

23rd Jan 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Was snapping a losing run when prevailing narrowly at Lingfield (1m4f) but then followed up over the same C&D ten days ago, defying a 4lb penalty without being overly pressed; only 2lb higher for this despite another penalty, but stamina for 2m is unproven. |

took keen hold, prominent, steadied into midfield with one circuit to go, hung left over 1f out, pushed along and ran on well inside final furlong, led final 110yds, comfortably |
