Fine record of 3-5 on the AW for Andrew Balding; 0-3 on turf on the Flat for that yard and hasn't troubled the judge in three runs over hurdles since joining this stable; pulled up over timber at Listowel after break latest; questions to answer. |

Three-time AW winner on the Flat; okay efforts in maiden hurdles at Navan and Limerick last autumn without really threatening to win; will qualify for a handicap mark after this. |

Triple AW winner over 1m2f for Andrew Balding before being sold for 48,000gns; was beaten 26l on debut over hurdles at Navan and has to improve loads. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Slow starter whose losing run goes back 17 races to March 2025; however, he went down by only a nose over C&D (good) last month and was caught too far back in a Class 2 at Ayr since; bold show likely with his sights lowered. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Slow starter whose losing run goes back 16 races to March 2025; however, he's been second on three of his last four starts, most recently at York (1m4f, good) last Saturday; slow ground is probably fine; each-way chance. |
12/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |

Often a slow starter; couldn't get into it at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but runner-up twice in a row at Hamilton (1m5f/1m3f, good) before that; could be involved if today's race pans out favourably. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Was winning for the first time since his debut when just prevailing over 1m4f here (good) last month, but may not have been suited by the conditions when third of six at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) 12 days ago; each-way claims. |
5/1 |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Was winning for the first time since his debut when just getting the better of Patrol at Newbury (1m4f, good) last month; 5lb higher and could probably do with the ground drying out (best form on good or faster), but still respected. |
5/2 |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has slipped to a career-low mark and well-backed fifth of 15 when returned to turf at Doncaster (1m2f) in March last time wasn't too bad; however, his record over that sort of trip is far more appealing than his two runs at 1m4f and his turf tally is 0-11. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Seen mostly at up to 1m4f, over which he delivered a telling late challenge on the other Newmarket track in May; while that looked encouraging for longer trips, his one attempt at 1m6f (on soft last July) and two at 2m (last two Northumberland Plates) saw him well beaten; that's not conclusive proof that he won't stay 1m6f but it leaves his stamina unproven. |
33/1 |

12th 11 (13) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins at this track but he came 13th in this race last year; that was his only appearance over this long a trip and he was also below form when he had a crack at 1m6f, so he's unproven beyond 1m4f, over which he's contested his last nine starts; stamina is the big doubt. |
16/1 |

4th 7 (12) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Track regular who finished third in this race (good to soft) in 2024 and stayed on from the rear to be fourth in last year's edition; also won last season's Great Metropolitan over C&D (good) and got back in the winning groove when taking Newmarket handicap three weeks ago; latter success puts him on a career-high mark but he's unlikely to be far away. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Bought for 20,000gns out of the O'Meara yard for which he won three times at up to 1m2f; made a quiet stable debut at Chester but was no doubt bought with hurdling in mind. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bought for 20,000gns out of the O'Meara yard for which he won three times, the latest over 1m2f at Ripon in June; well held at York since then; unraced over this far which is a worry. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |

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. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-11, including four defeats for this yard; late interference didn't cost her the race at Windsor (1m, good to firm) but it was a respectable effort in a first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces are now added; likely to race prominently. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

0-7 for Peter Chapple-Hyam and 0-3 this year for current yard; on dangerous mark and was runner-up at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in March but she didn't match that back on turf at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) last time; tongue-tie is now added and she needs to find more back at this trip. |
