11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Short-head winner at the other Newmarket track (1m6f, good to firm; made all) on second start this term and nearly made it 3-3 under Saffie Osborne at Goodwood (1m6f, good; led over 1f out) later in May, holding Dancing In Paris by a short head but pipped by subsequent Royal Ascot winner French Master; up 2lb today, as is Dancing In Paris, and looks a leading contender. |

2nd 11 (1) |
24th May 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Immediately back to best with his two runs this season, tenaciously making all for a short-head win at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) on latest; that made it 2-2 under Saffie Osborne; 5lb higher today; big question to answer were the ground softer than good but he otherwise looks set to run well. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Last won in August 2024; placed in three of eight starts last term and it was a hot race in which she was well beaten at York (40-1) on 2026 return; 15lb below peak mark but others seem to be banging on the door more loudly. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Twice runner-up over 2m from five visits here, plus fourth of 20 in this race in 2024; ran creditably over 1m4f on 2025 return and is 11lb lower for this reappearance, but others seem to be banging on the door more loudly. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
First and second in two visits here (1m6f, soft/good to soft); patchy form so far this year and ideally would prefer further, but she has dropped 5lb lower than when last successful; respected. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
C&D winner in 2022 but his latest success came nearly two years ago; third on his first two outings this season (1m4f) and did enough to suggest he's still in form when fourth of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) 20 days ago; drop back in trip may not be ideal. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (1) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
It has been nearly two years since the last of his four wins but his two starts in 2026 have seen him finish third; conditions won't be an excuse and he's more solid than some. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Defied a much higher mark at Beverley in 2022; poor strike-rate since but he ran encouragingly when favourite at Catterick (1m4f) on seasonal debut and has possibilities back here, being so nicely weighted. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 190y |
11st 12lb |
Decent performer on the Flat, winning twice and rated 87 at his peak; hooded (retained) and tailed off on his Irish and hurdles debut on heavy at Punchestown last month; ground more suitable now but can only be watched after that last effort. |
80/1 |
|
9th 3 |
24th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 0f 157y |
11st 12lb |
Useful form on the Flat for Ed Bethell including a 1m6f win off 82; hood goes on for his stable/hurdles debut; stays at least 2m on the level so this may not be a sufficient stamina test; probably best watched, especially on this ground. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Three Flat wins and he's 2-5 over hurdles; competitive in both disciplines since returning from a break and this scenario is ideal for him. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made good start to hurdling career in the autumn, including when going close in a Cheltenham novice (2m4f, good to soft; has won on good ground); reappeared with a creditable third at Plumpton last month and he's feasibly treated on his best Flat form last year, including a sequence of runner-up efforts over staying trips; respected back in this sphere. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Useful Flat performer who made good start to hurdling career in the autumn, including when going close in a Cheltenham novice (2m4f, good to soft; has won on good ground); flopped at Ascot (2m5f, good) in November but has had a break since and retains potential now in his first handicap hurdle. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Chance on November's Doncaster hurdles second, less so on all which has followed; unexposed in this sphere, with one start over fences compared to the other trio's 41 combined, but none too convincing on that belated chase debut at Wetherby latest (1m7f, good), jumping left and weakening. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper/Flat/hurdles winner; on a handy mark but his form has dipped in 2026, so this switch to fences needs to have a reviving effect; latecomer to this game, being a 10yo. |
13/2 |
|
6th 1 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Unable to beat a rival on AW on last two starts but could be a different proposition now back hurdling and back here, as two visits to Doncaster (both C&D) have yielded an easy novice win (good) and a good second in a handicap (soft; in November); very much of interest given record at the track. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Chase/hurdle winner who won on the AW at Lingfield in February 2025; hasn't been in top form on his last couple of runs over hurdles; on a fair mark now. |
20/1 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime but suffered heavy defeat in that sphere last month, after a layoff, and also struggled in a handicap hurdle three weeks ago; sports refitted cheekpieces; others have much less to prove. |
25/1 |
|
6th 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Seven-time Flat winner who has also scored over hurdles (2m1f, soft) and fences (2m, good); on dangerous mark back over jumps but he's not seen much action in the last 12 months and has been tailed off in his last two Flat runs; risks attached. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) this year, including on his latest start last month; 2lb out of the handicap today and he's 0-13 on turf, but has been placed a few times on grass and is not discounted. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2-33 but both wins have come here, the latest over C&D last month; found to be lame when down the field two days later and 7f looked too sharp when third here three weeks ago; he's one to consider now back up in trip. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Too strong for his rivals in a Class 6 over a mile here last month; reportedly finished lame when disappointing (13-8f) behind Golden Strike here four weeks ago; revised 3lb higher mark has now kicked in. |
