26th Sep 2024 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Third in a Class 2 at the Newmarket July meeting before 4l winner from the front at Sandown (both 1m2f, good) in August; creditable fourth of 12 in 1m4f York Ebor meeting handicap (good to firm) last time and has to be a player back in slightly calmer waters; showed promise on soft last year. |

9st 11lb |
7f novice win as 2yo; better form in defeat in handicaps this year, finishing second over 1m1f here (good to firm) before a good third of ten in a traditionally very strong 3yo event at the Newmarket July meeting (1m2f, good) four weeks ago; should go well. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Much respected on his form for Alan King, for all that he was 1-22 for that yard; following a 30,000gns sale he ran okay over C&D on last month's stable debut, but no more than that. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win (22 races) was on AW in June 2024; five seconds on turf and bang there on AW (1m3f/1m4f) on last two starts before 30,000gns sale (left Alan King) in April, but this is the first time he's gone beyond that on Flat. |

Sole win in 1m2f Lingfield AW handicap nearly two years ago; has been running well since back on AW of late but it's pushing it to call him well handicapped in this competitive race. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Hard to fancy on the evidence of the last 12 months but he was useful in his prime and he's one to watch in the betting off a reduced mark on his third start for this yard. |
33/1 |

9th 11 (12) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
A dual 1m2f scorer in 2024 for Simon and Ed Crisford; failed to fire for Susan Corbett last year, though, and he came in a below-par fifth for his new yard in 1m Bath handicap last month; not easy to make a case for. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
10st 11lb |
Three-time winner on the Flat on good/good to firm ground; some useful runs in defeat over hurdles; something amiss over hurdles last time; started Flat campaign with a good run over 1m4f at Leopardstown. |
8/1 |

13th 13 |
30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time winner on the Flat on good/good to firm ground, rated 90; some top runs in defeat over hurdles; beaten a short head at Navan in September and third behind the classy Talk The Talk at Limerick next time; soft ground likely against him at Cheltenham in November; positive return to action on the level at Leopardstown last time when second; big player. |

2nd 2 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Twice a winner over slightly shorter in Bahrain winter before last; bought for 55,000gns last summer and campaigned over hurdles so far by new connections notably touched off in Navan maiden (yielding), too keen and didn't get home on soft at Cheltenham when last seen in November; yard going well, not one to rule out. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Needs to rebound from a substandard AW run ten days ago but made the frame on two of three turf starts in the spring (both times over 1m1f) and this longer trip probably suits better; can't be ignored off current mark. |
12/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Both wins last season were over 1m2f, latterly over C&D in September off 1lb lower than today; two minor honours from three starts this turf season ensure that he has a prominent place in calculations. |
6/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins last season were over 1m2f; hasn't worn headgear so far this season and was below-par dropped to 7f last time (good to firm; reportedly never travelling) having run creditably when fourth at Ayr after a break 15 days earlier (1m1f); interesting with cheekpieces back on |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
A fair 1m2f scorer on the Flat who got off the mark in this sphere in 2m Stratford handicap last June; back from ten months off with a promising third of eight over C&D two weeks ago, finishing well having suffered a poor run from two out; very much one to consider. |
6/1 |

3rd 3 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won with tongue-tie added in a Stratford handicap (2m, good) last June but he's been well held over hurdles and on the Flat in last two starts; may have needed his reappearance run at Chester last month but his form is patchy and he's still 6lb higher than for his hurdle win; others preferred. |
6/1 |
|
11th 8 (11) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a low-grade handicap hurdle last summer but this is his first Flat run since 2024, and he needs to prove he's worth his current mark. |
