19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Two handicap wins off top weight last year (1m2f, good) and he was a Listed runner-up at Chester (1m4f, good to soft) last Saturday on his belated reappearance; this front-runner can make another bold bid provided today's second start back from the absence doesn't come too soon. |

2nd 2 (2) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Last seen finishing tailed off in the November Handicap; the season had gone well prior to that, winning twice at about 1m2f and also finishing third in this race; this prominent racer loves it here but his stamina looked stretched by this far last year and a ten-month absence will probably count against him. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who defied top weight at York (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago and won over this C&D (good to soft) last September; has run some good races on soft ground in the past; he's just 2lb higher than last time and can produce another bold show. |

9st 4lb |
Won Windsor novice (1m, good to firm) in June and bounced back from a lesser run on handicap debut at Ascot when making all at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month; he's in good hands to continue to progress and could give another bold account up 5lb. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
11st 12lb |
Useful on the Flat in Britain, rated 89; made a winning start for this yard over hurdles at Killarney in May (2m1f, gd-yld); heavy defeat in a Punchestown novice too bad to be true; returned with a small graze on right-fore cannon bone, possibly picked up when blundering five out. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner in Britain (1m-1m3f); made promising start to hurdling career on stable debut after 11 months off when landing 2m1f maiden at Killarney 27 days ago, beating Tyson Fury by 4l; jumping was very novicey and needs to improve; form of that race has a solid look to it and he's a leading contender; wouldn't want much rain based on Flat form. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
1m4f Flat winner in France last August when trained by David Menuisier but it's hard to get excited by his efforts on the Flat or over hurdles for current yard, the latest over hurdles at Uttoxeter 13 days ago; best watched unless the betting speaks in his favour. |
20/1 |

4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
1m4f Flat winner in France last August when trained by David Menuisier; 80-1 fifth of 13 to Uncle Remus over C&D (good) 19 days ago was easily the closest finish from his five runs over hurdles; needs to build markedly on that but his old Flat ability is not yet forgotten. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner; won impressively on hurdles debut at Down Royal and then touched off in the Royal Bond by Koktail Brut; further behind that rival in DRF Grade 1 and beaten a neck by Le Labo in Grade 3 at Naas; still in the mix when falling at the last at Fairyhouse last time in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); can go close with a clear round. |
8/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Three Flat turf wins, including a Leopardstown premier handicap on heavy; has taken well to hurdling, winning Down Royal maiden and just denied by Koktail Brut in Grade 2 Royal Bond over C&D; 2l behind Koktail Brut when fifth in DRF Grade 1; sloppy jumping proved costly when beaten a neck by Le Labo at Navan; first time with cheekpieces. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 77y |

Three Flat turf wins, including a Leopardstown premier handicap on heavy; has taken well to hurdling, winning Down Royal maiden and just denied in Grade 2 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse; DRF fifth at Grade 1 level wasn't a bad effort either; skips the Supreme for this and sets the standard. |

Ended last season with a useful handicap win at Doncaster; below-par favourite at Newmarket on reappearance but is lightly raced and may rater higher still; more interesting than the bare figures suggest. |

17th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Successful over 1m2f but quite a free-goer and looked well suited by the drop back to 1m and being allowed to stride on when making all in 12-runner Doncaster handicap (soft) on final 3yo start; his new triple-figure rating demands a smart handicap performance but this lightly raced 4yo is probably capable of one. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 3-4 this season for new stable includes two wins in major handicaps; took his form to an even higher level with impressive performance in a conditions race at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to soft) on last appearance; one of two Andrew Balding-trained runners who are going into deeper waters but may be capable of further improvement. |
20/1 |

1st 3 (9) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won in style at Newmarket (1m1f) in May, first home in the centre group in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m) in June and tidy winner of the valuable John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f) three weeks ago; more to prove on ground softer than good, which he tried four times in previous seasons; going great guns but needs markedly better form to upstage all of today's rivals. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Won over 1m2f for Sir Michael Stoute and scored in style on his stable and seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m1f, good) in May; first home in the centre group when sixth of 30 in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) last month and he could have more to offer now back up in trip; interesting contender for connections who won this in 2019 and 2021. |

0-11 since winning his first two starts in 2023; runner-up twice (1m3f/1m4f) this summer but three of his last four results were well below that level; rearing as the stalls opened did not help when he tried 1m5f at Ayr last time and he was also hampered over 2f out, but others look more solid. |

20th Nov 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Returned from ten months off to win a Southwell maiden (1m) in August; that is strong form and a subsequent defeat in a 1m2f handicap on good to soft turf shouldn't be held against him; pedigree points to AW being more suitable than turf and there could be plenty more to come from him. |

Showed promise last autumn on both 2yo starts (1m, good) and came clear with very useful yardstick to win Southwell maiden (1m, AW) on last month's reappearance; cost 370,370euros at last year's breeze-ups and has potential off his handicap debut mark, especially now up in trip. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
1m2f/11.5f novice winner who was purchased out of the Gosden stable for 58,000gns in the autumn; encouraging stable debut when second over 1m2f at Sandown three weeks ago, when he dropped some strong hints the step back up to this trip would see him in even better light; interesting. |
