2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
AW Listed winner for the Gosdens in November 2024 but he hasn't been near that form since a Listed second last June; second and third places early this year came in small fields and other options look more solid. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Latest win came in a Listed race over 1m4f here for the Gosdens in November 2024 but he hasn't been at his best in five starts for this yard; needs a major revival. |

9st 12lb |
Ex-Gosden 5yo; something of a revival with his second and third in small fields at Lingfield (1m2f) on last two outings for current yard, the latter a Group 3; bit more to prove back in the different scenario of this handicap but, with 7lb claimer recruited, he's not entirely dismissed. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Smart on the Flat at his best but signed off for Karl Burke with two disappointing runs in the autumn and was rather hesitant at some of the flights when disappointing favourite on last month's stable/hurdle debut; subsequently tailed off in major Flat handicap; may yet get his act together over hurdles but he is very tricky to weigh up at the moment. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won sole start here, a 2022 maiden; smart at 1m3f-1m6f for Roger Varian and Karl Burke but reappearance was easily the best of three runs last year and, after a 21,000gns sale in November, well beaten at 11-10 for hurdles/yard debut two weeks ago; that's not the most promising stepping stone to this. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Really smart Flat campaigner although he was susceptible to the odd aberration; in fine form as recently as last April, when just denied in valuable 1m6f Musselburgh handicap, but last two starts for Karl Burke showed the other side of his coin and left that yard for 21,000gns in November; still rates a fascinating hurdles debutant with the market potentially offering significant clues. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Having dropped down the weights he returned to form when runner-up off today's mark at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) recently on his second start for this yard; however, he's 5-22 on AW as opposed to 0-11 on Flat turf, and needs to back up that latest performance now back on grass. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has been a smart performer in his time (rated 18lb higher), but well below form in his last two starts including on stable debut here (1m2f) last month; tongue-tie removed after one use; look elsewhere. |
11/1 |

11th 7 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Formerly a smart AW performer for Mick Appleby, but not quite the force of old; makes his debut for another new yard (same owners) in a new headgear combination after eight starts for Shark Hanlon; well treated if he could rediscover anything like his best form. |

Won at Goodwood (1m4f) in May and has run creditably on three of her four starts since; apparently no ground worries and she has place claims. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |

Well treated on last season's form (including here) but disappointing in the main this season; her best form has come on soft/heavy going. |

Record is 2-14; best effort this term when third in suitable conditions at Chester (1m2f, soft) on penultimate start; each-way possibilities off current mark, provided she gets ideal ground (soft/heavy). |

Dual Group 3 winner from the front in Germany in summer 2023; ran well for a long way at this year's Royal Ascot before a lesser effort in Group 2 company not long afterwards, and makes her AW debut back from a break; can do better. |

Four wins last year, including two over C&D, and ran well when third of 11 here last month; 1lb below her last winning mark and worth a second look. |

The last of her four wins last season came over C&D (good to firm) in September, with earlier wins at 1m4f; some creditable shows this term but well beaten on two of her last three starts, the first of those following the same pattern as her other rare starts on softer than good. |
