24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 2f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Three-time flat winner showed a little bit more over timber at Tramore (16.5f, good) last time but was still beaten 7.5l into eighth; down 2lb but needs to improve again to be competitive here. |

17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 1lb |
Three-time Flat winner (twice in France, once in Britain) at up to 1m4f; has shown little over hurdles, but can be forgiven his recent run at Cork, failed to recover after being badly hampered four out; may do better. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won three handicaps at Lingfield (1m4f-1m5f, AW) this winter; never a threat when fourth back on turf at Windsor last month; others hold stronger claims. |
14/1 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All eight wins have been on AW but he's lost his way with heavy defeats at Newcastle (12.4f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in last two runs; still lightly raced on turf but he needs a major revival back in this sphere. |
20/1 |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner over 1m4f/1m5f here and Taryn Langley gets on well with him, but he has never attempted this far before and he must put an uncharacteristically poor effort at Newcastle 13 days ago behind him. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has yet to score this year but is getting close, finishing second of eight over C&D (good to firm) last Tuesday; 8lb lower than for his two wins last autumn. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
At the veteran stage and has finished unplaced in his last ten starts, but now 8lb below his last winning mark; could still have a big effort in him. |
7/2 |

5th 3 (8) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice on turf in the autumn of 2025, including C&D; well handicapped on that form and his last two efforts have been respectable; should go well with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
3-34, with latest win last November on Lingfield Polytrack; shot back to some form when beaten a neck off career-low mark in six-runner race on turf at Leicester (1m4f) on latest outing and he's notched up a few placed efforts at this track, so he's one to consider back up 2lb. |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
3-33 and has shown little in two runs since switching to current yard; has dropped to a career-low mark but needs to raise his game. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-17 on AW but he returned to form with a staying-on third here (1m6f) last month; now drops back in trip but he's 1lb lower than last time and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style; visor reapplied. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 (7) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
On losing run and 0-16 on AW, unable to justify favouritism at Chelmsford 12 days ago; another 2lb lower today and too much ability to discount. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
10-32 on the AW and as tough as old boots, going down by less than a length in his last three outings including when beaten a short head over C&D in March; likely to be bang there once again. |
13/2 |

2nd 6 (7) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D record is currently three wins and two seconds from five starts; most of his career wins have come in the winter but he continues in good form and has strong claims. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All of his ten wins have been on AW and he had a near-miss over 1m3f at Kempton last Wednesday; on same mark here and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won a Sedgefield handicap hurdle in May (2m1f, good to firm) but has been rather disappointing over hurdles and on the Flat since; needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |

4 (6) |
5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Four-time hurdle winner, including last month; has winning form on the Flat and forget Chester last week as the saddle slipped. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, including last month; has winning form on the Flat and placed on the AW earlier this year, but has no form here and others have more going for them. |
25/1 |
Verdict
This will probably be decided by the rematch between TORTURED SOUL (nap) and Charlie’s Choice who were first and second off the same marks in an apprentice handicap at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, and the result will probably be the same. Sharp Distinction, with his commendable record at this track, is third on the list.[Richard Austen]
