6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Only fourth of nine at York (1m4f, good) in July last time but prior to that he was beaten just a neck by Stressfree when making the running here (1m4f, good) in May; effective on soft/good to soft; remains lightly raced and is not written off now back here. |

Effective on good to soft and good; record of 2-7 and better than ever when putting the pace to the race and just missing out at Haydock two months ago (1m4f); solid contender here off 3lb higher. |

2nd 13 (10) |
31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
All turf starts have been on softer than good; won a Southwell novice last July, followed up in 1m4f handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) and good third of 15 off this mark in valuable 1m4f race at Newmarket; he failed to live up to favouritism at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) on reappearance but wasn't disgraced and, after just six races, may still do better. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Notoriously hard to win with and, bar a Uttoxeter maiden hurdle, he hasn't scored since landing a French conditions race in 2022; respectable fourth of 12 at York (16.5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; same mark. |
6/1 |

4th 3 (12) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
His last Flat win came in France in 2022 but he won over hurdles last autumn and was a clear second of five to stablemate High Fibre in this code at Newmarket (2m, good to firm) last month; probably versatile ground-wise and holds each-way possibilities. |
8/1 |

2nd 2 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Hasn't scored under this code since his French days in 2022 but looks interesting with usual visor removed, having gained all wins (Flat/hurdles) without headgear; yard also runs High Fibre. |

0-2 on AW; won soft-ground maiden in France for David Menuisier last August and placed in Doncaster handicap (1m4f) the following month; weakened on stable debut at Windsor (1m2f) in April and didn't fare that much better over 11.4f there (good to firm) last time; handicapper is relenting, though. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Useful Flat racer who won a 2m maiden hurdle here in July and was close second over C&D (also on good) when upped in trip for last month's handicap debut; seemingly overlooked by Sean Bowen today but helps to give trainer Olly Murphy a good hand in this race. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Useful Flat performer for the Crisfords; has made a solid start over hurdles, winning over 2m here and then fourth when penalised at Uttoxeter; should have a future off this sort of mark. |

Respectable Flat form for the Crisfords and has made a bright start over hurdles, winning as he liked last time at Worcester (good); the second nearly went one better next time; a strong contender even with a penalty. |

Sole win was in a novice at Newcastle (1m, AW) last October but he was only just caught in a Hamilton handicap (1m4f, good to soft) last Monday; on same mark here and he's an interesting contender on this drop back in trip. |
9/2 |

2nd 6 (4) |
23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |

0-12 since winning last October on his third start and he's inconsistent; however, he returned to form with a close fifth of 13 at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) recently and this stiffer track may well be a positive; chance. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Superior on AW but handicapped accordingly and he was a promising fifth over 1m4f here (good to firm) in August, when he raced wide early and was in the lead at the furlong pole; again faded when last of five in Listed race at Chester last time (1m4f, good to soft; tough task at weights) and this drop back in trip could prove ideal; drawn low and one to consider seriously. |
9/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Best form on AW, on which he's 5-7 (including a 1m4f Listed win from the front last December) whereas 0-8 on turf; has shown easily his best turf form in two of his last three starts (gelded before latest) but much better is seemingly required today. |

Best form on AW, on which he's 5-7 (including a Listed win from the front) whereas 0-7 on turf; he now has a 10lb lower turf mark and managed sixth of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) on penultimate start, but that's easily his best turf form; gelded since a poor show on latest outing. |

C&D winner (Class 4; from 22lb lower) last October; won well at Plumpton (2m; from 13lb lower) in April and posted a career best in a C&D Class 2 in July, run down only late on (not fluent at the last two); the task is even tougher from 4lb higher; certainly isn't discounted though. |

Best on good ground as he showed when running away with the Sussex Champion Hurdle at Plumpton in April; however, that came at a cost to the tune of 10lb and he failed to fire behind Moon Chime in the Swinton; others might be better in here. |

9st 11lb |
Came up short in big field at York nine days ago; can't be totally dismissed on September form, namely a win at Redcar and placed effort over C&D; however, strike-rate for current yard is modest compared to how his career started. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |

Dual turf winner who last scored when bagging a 1m2f AW handicap just under a year ago; now 5lb lower but that's still the same mark he was beaten just over 4l at Beverley 10 days ago; likely needs to find a bit extra. |

Lightly raced 4yo who easily won a handicap at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in December and didn't run badly when last of seven at 150-1 in Group 3 Aston Park at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) last month; however, he faces another tough task in this Listed event and is best watched. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Showed some useful Flat form for the Gosden stable in 2024 but last year's stable debut was disappointing and he made a low-key start to his hurdling career when eighth of ten in Musselburgh maiden (2m1f, good to soft; jumping lacked fluency) in March; needs to take a big step forward. |

Veteran whose last win was in August 2021; second off a career-low mark at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW; second run since wind surgery) on penultimate start but he's lightly raced on turf these days and has not made a significant impact in this sphere for a long time. |
