1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Suited by soft ground; has lacked consistency since defying a 10lb higher mark at Newbury two years ago and blinkers had no clear effect last time; however, very well treated if this is one of his better days. |

6th 7 (7) |
18th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
His three wins in 2024 included this race off an 8lb higher mark; hit and miss this year, most recently when last of seven at Yarmouth on Tuesday; new blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

No win for nearly two years and 2024 delivered clearly his best ratings; placed twice over about 1m2f, though, in a four-race 2026 campaign and even that form makes this look a competitive mark. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Very capable off this mark when on his game but he refused to race on final run of last season and hasn't looked overly keen to get involved this campaign. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
4-9 over C&D including landing this race three years ago, but his starts have increasingly become a problem, flatly refusing to do so here in October; too risky. |

10th 9 (1) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Increasing tendency to blow the start last season culminated in a refusal to race on final appearance; that was at Newbury, where he'd previously been at his best; he's contrastingly 0-6 on AW and none of his form in this sphere lives up to today's mark; probably best watched. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat scorer for Hughie Morrison who showed winning hurdling form over the winter for her current yard; stumbled start and always behind on Flat return at Hamilton (1m1f) in June; steps back up significantly in trip now with a first-time tongue-tie also added; needs a betting check for stable which has won the last two runnings of this race. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
She's run reasonably well, albeit without seriously threatening, in her first two handicap hurdles (2m1f/2m, soft/good to soft); won five times on the Flat (at up to 1m4f) and she could have more to offer in this code, but it remains to be seen whether she'll stay this far. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Quite lightly raced 5yo who is well suited by soft/heavy ground; beat Impartiality by 3l at Beverley (1m2f) most recently, adding to his 3yo wins and taking record to 3-12; warrants respect provided conditions are again in his favour. |

Both wins were as a 3yo (1m/1m2f; soft/heavy); lightly raced in the meantime and best RPR since being gelded came on his only run on soft ground; has never been lower in the weights and with the ground up his street he's considered. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
1-22 for Alan King, with his sole win in June 2024; had a respectable first two runs for new yard over C&D this season, before tailed off on good to firm at York four weeks ago; now 6lb below his peak mark. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |

His sole win came back in June 2024 but he often runs well and was third of seven at Chester (2m, good) four weeks ago on his second stable start; might be in with an each-way shout. |

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. |

Won once as 2yo and his two best results last term also came on soft or heavy; unraced beyond 1m (has stamina on the dam's side) until his never-dangerous sixth of 15 behind a stablemate at Newbury (1m2f, soft) on last month's stable debut, when below form but he could build on that. |

Won over C&D (good to firm) in July and respectable third of six over C&D (good to firm) later that month; didn't see out 1m4f at Newmarket in August and he might not be far away now back down in trip. |

Ran creditably, keeping on, last time when bidding for a Nottingham double (1m2f; maiden previously); remains in form and, as his dam's side confirms, looks worth another crack at 1m4f; respected. |

Off the mark at the 18th attempt over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago off 3lb lower on his second run for this yard, with Jake Dickson aboard him; needs to come on again in this higher grade. |
