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. |

Campaigned mainly over further and has done most of his winning on AW; form has dipped of late and his losing run continues to mount up; wears new headgear. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Six of his seven wins have been on AW; may just have needed the run after a break when fifth at Ayr on Thursday (1m5f, soft) and has an each-way chance. |

Went close to snapping long losing run in Queen Mother's Cup at York (1m4f, good) in June; a danger to all if in that form but three lesser runs have followed. |

Doubled his tally at Newbury (1m4f) in May but beat only two in 1m3f handicap there following month; needs to hit the ground running after a layoff. |

7th 5 (7) |
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 |

3rd 7 (5) |
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. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Seen mostly at up to 1m4f so perhaps unwise to read all that much into last two defeats over 2m and 1m6f; not impossibly treated on his solid 1m4f form earlier this season, and last year's efforts included a 2l defeat in this (not seen to best effect) and a victory over Insanity at York (1m4f, good to firm); in the mix. |
13/2 |

6th 5 (3) |
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. |

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. |

Absent since June but he will appreciate the return to AW and is 1lb lower than for his last win; this looks too competitive though. |

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. |

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. |
4/1 |

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. |
