Twice well held at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) since winning from 1lb lower over C&D (well behind Metallo on the first occasion); needs to bounce back in the first-time cheekpieces. |

Registered a Class 4 success at Chelmsford last month on third start for new yard, taking his 1m2f form figures to 421; upped a couple of grades but may have more to offer at this distance. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Left Charlie Johnston for 1,000gns; 150-1 on hurdle debut at Perth and performed accordingly. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut. |

Four AW wins, including C&D, and returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark; more good runs than bad at this track and he's not discounted. |

Should be well handicapped but his two runs for his current stable have resulted in heavy defeats; cheekpieces tried for a second time (well beaten on the occasion they were tried). |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time turf winner who posted two AW wins in autumn 2024 off higher marks than today's; lightly raced since, however, with patchy form, and others have more obvious claims. |
16/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-time winner when trained by Rae Guest and posted respectable efforts on the AW over 1m2f in two of his three outings for Edward Smyth-Osbourne; has been off since January and drops back in trip on his first start for this yard. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Fairly useful on Flat (2m winner) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and has taken quite well to hurdling, winning then third over 2m1f at Cartmel in the summer; carries a penalty but should be thereabouts. |
7/2 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fairly useful on Flat (2m winner) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and has taken well to hurdling, just shaken up to beat six rivals over C&D (soft) last month; open to improvement and should go well under a penalty. |
5/2 |
|
1st 7 |
21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Signed off on the Flat for Jane Chapple-Hyam with 2m AW win in January (RPR 80) and was very much in contention before final-flight unseat over C&D (good to soft) on stable/hurdle debut in May; Richie McLernon presumably had the pick of the two stable runners in this race; shortlisted. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent enough at a similarly low level all year, winning twice, and there are no concerns regarding track, trip or ground; that's enough to see him shortlisted in a weak affair. |
7/4 |

3rd 2 (6) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two 1m2f wins this year, the latest a fast-ground handicap at Leicester in May; respectable efforts since without hitting quite the same heights; should give a good account. |
4/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Has won twice this year and did well after a slow start to claim fourth in a similar race at Lingfield (1m2f, good) last month; if he breaks on terms then he holds strong claims. |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
C&D winner (good to soft) just over four years ago; on a losing run since going back-to-back at Nottingham and Newmarket (both heavy at around 1m) in the autumn of 2023 and recent efforts are not enough to tempt despite this falling mark. |

Continues to drop down the weights but this 8yo struggled in the main last season and it was the same story on last month's reappearance; needs to turn things around. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dual winner for Ian Williams; sold for 20,000gns last October; third to Poet's Dawn over C&D (stable debut) early last month and runner-up to a progressive rival over 1m here subsequently; highly likely to make presence felt. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 10 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Successful over 1m2f at Newbury (good to firm) off this mark for Ian Williams last summer; creditable start for new yard after nine months off (had wind surgery) when third of five over 1m2f here (good) 12 days ago; entitled to build on that but 9.4f at Wolverhampton is the shortest trip he's tackled prior to this. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |

Won for Ian Williams at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last July and runner-up three times subsequently; sold for 20,000gns last October and absent since (wind op in interim); may be best watched on stable debut. |
