10st 0lb |
Found three races not run to suit his hold-up style in the summer and this mark is likely within range when he gets a decent pace to track; maybe that will happen today, under Silvestre De Sousa (11-46 for the yard), back from a short break. |

Won a Southwell novice (1m) last September and that was it for the season; hasn't threatened in either handicap this year, though wasn't beaten far at Newmarket last time (1m2f) when held up in a slowly run affair; has a handicap in him. |

11st 3lb |
Good impression made on April's Ayr hurdling debut (2m, good to soft; third won next time), but form of successful Newton Abbot follow-up has taken a few knocks and it was a crunching fall she took at Ffos Las latest; mark okay, and all about whether she's over that unfortunate experience. |

22nd May 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Three Flat wins in Germany; up and down in Britain but was involved in two close finishes in 2024 (best RPR 87); 2-2 over hurdles for new yard, having it pretty much her own way at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) recently; Sir Galahad will provide much more of a test but it looks tight between them. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple turf winner at up to 11.5f; less effective on AW surfaces but her best such effort was when last tried at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in May; if able to repeat that form she would have claims from this 5lb lower mark but she's not easy to predict. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1m2f win here in April in a consistent season, bar one blip; raced freely in the lead when she last tried this sort of trip (penultimate start) but she did well over 11.4f on soft when held up last October; each-way player. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Bar one blip she's been running well for George Scott and won over this trip at Haydock in April off the very same mark; last two runs weren't bad at all, having not got the run of things at Ripon and she raced freely when third at Catterick (1m4f). |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Two of his six wins have come over C&D; can go well fresh so his low-key return to action at Yarmouth last month was disappointing; down in class and has the assistance of Henry Callan in the saddle so he could leave that well behind. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner who had irregular form in 2025 but he only just failed on his reappearance at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last spring and he's 4lb lower now; on the cards that he'll return with a good effort. |

Formerly with Harry Charlton; won over 1m4f (AW) on yard debut last winter but nothing good to take from his subsequent races. |

5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 4yo who won on stable debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last November but finished down the field on his next two starts; needs to get back on track on this first outing of the year. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 1m3f Class 5 handicap at Southwell in October and slightly better form when collared late over 1m2f at Lingfield 11 days ago; 1lb higher in a better race but current wellbeing will count for plenty here. |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
3-36 and has suffered heavy defeats on turf in two his last three starts, but he went down by just a head at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in between; perhaps not the most reliable, but would be a player on that form. |

Useful in his younger days but nothing like as good for Alan King this year back from around 18 months off; perhaps the return to his old yard will do the trick and a reproduction of his Newbury third (1m2f, good) in May would give him a fair chance at this lower level. |

Dam was useful over this trip and he's shown enough in three starts over 7f-7.6f to suggest he's worth considering back from a short break on handicap debut now handed a stiffer test and fitted with first-time headgear/tongue-tie; watch the market. |

First foal of a Group-placed 1m winner whose siblings include Oaks/dual Arc winner Enable; attracted support into 15-2 on recent Wetherby debut (7f, good) and he ran well to finish third of 16 behind a useful prospect; has quite a bit to find with Upscale but he should know more this time and is open to progress over this longer trip. |

5-14 on AW; stopped quickly in last year's Northumberland Plate and it was a similar story in added cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (1m6f) the following month; afforded time off thereafter, returning with a sound effort at Southwell (2m; beaten a neck) in December; key player from a 1lb higher mark. |

31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Completed an AW hat-trick at around 2m during the winter, but has disappointed in his last three starts including when beaten miles in the Northumberland Plate (2m, Tapeta); will need the first-time cheekpieces to make a big difference. |
25/1 |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Disappointing on last two outings, denting his good records both on AW surfaces and at 2m; having been dropped just 1lb, he needs to return from three months off with a career best; good 5lb claimer is enlisted. |
