14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Looked as good as ever when winning readily by 7l at favourite track Taunton (2m3f, good) three weeks ago and is now 3-19 over hurdles; 7lb higher here but still respected in current mood. |
5/1 |

1st 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Landed a 'hands and heels' event over C&D in March and respectable efforts in two subsequent starts, latterly when second off this mark at Exeter (about 2m2f, also good; Green Sky tailed off) on Friday; on the premises again if this doesn't come too soon. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Multiple Flat winner at up to 1m6f and dual hurdles winner at up to 2m3f; goes well on a sound surface; 6lb higher than when scoring at Taunton on his penultimate start; beaten more than 9l when unpenalised at Plumpton latest, but should be competitive. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |

Veteran who was successful in this race last year but was in slightly better form at the time (completed an October double); that said, wasn't entirely disgraced when in the frame on latest start. |

Veteran who has lost his way since winning over this far at Lingfield in June (good to soft) but he is dropping back from Class 4 level. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran who showed a fire still burned when winning a six-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) in June; third to Beach Point over C&D next time but his form has dipped on his last two starts; rain will help but vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |

Has proved consistent on the AW since last September, including when winning at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) last month; has run well off this mark in both outings since and looks one for the shortlist. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
A fair hurdles winner (also fair on Flat) for Ben Brookhouse; pulled up on his first two runs for current yard at Catterick and here this year though and he also came in last of eight on the Flat for R Mike Smith three weeks ago; very hard to warm to. |
33/1 |

8th 2 (3) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on Flat form for Ben Brookhouse in early part of 2025, but pulled up in two handicap hurdles when owner-trained this year; now in the care of Mike Smith for Flat return; others have much less to prove. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Fair Flat racer who won a juvenile event on hurdling debut in 2023 but was not seen again over jumps until pulled up in Catterick handicap on stable debut in January; current ability in this sphere remains hard to gauge. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Well backed to win a 1m4f handicap here last September but nowhere near that in his next three runs; latest effort over 1m here (first-time blinkers) a fortnight ago was a step back in the right direction, however, and he'd be a threat if building on that now back up in trip; now tries cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

4 (10) |
11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 1m4f handicap here (13-8 favourite) last September but he's finished tailed off in three subsequent runs and latest was at Windsor last month; blinkers are now added and has lots to prove on this drop back to 1m. |
16/1 |

7th 3 (3) |
5th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Kept on well to score on Polytrack at Kempton (1m4f) in September and is also suited by turf but he ended last season with two heavy AW defeats and returns from 163-day break with a point to prove. |

9st 3lb |
Won narrowly over C&D last August and at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in September but poor since then, including in three starts over hurdles for this yard; hard to know how he will fare back on this surface from 2lb above his last winning mark. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-17 on AW but he returned to form with a staying-on third here (1m6f) last month; now drops back in trip but he's 1lb lower than last time and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style; visor reapplied. |

On losing run and 0-16 on AW, unable to justify favouritism at Chelmsford 12 days ago; another 2lb lower today and too much ability to discount. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Sprung a 40-1 surprise at Windsor in June (1m, good to firm); now 2lb lower but that is a result of having shown little since; handles Polytrack but others look safer. |

9st 8lb |
0-11 (Flat/jumps); made most when fifth of ten at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last August but pulled up when reported to have made a respiratory noise over fences at Lingfield (2m, soft) in December; best watched on return from 171 days off. |

9th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten in three maiden/novice hurdles during 2022-23 season and has not raced over jumps since he was pulled up on chase/handicap debut 13 months ago; can't be recommended on that evidence but has shown some ability on the Flat this year and remains very unexposed over fences. |

Has yet to win on the Flat or over jumps and had the run of the race up front when collared at Lingfield last time (1m4f; January); still needs respecting on the back of a positive run. |
5/1 |
Verdict
The 4yo GALILEO’S COMPASS is well handicapped on his best Irish form and he could leave his two British runs behind now back on better ground after a wind op. Rogue Tornado is solid and the second choice. Haliphon ran well on his last visit here and also needs respecting.[Alistair Jones]
