31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company three times in Britain this summer; well beaten back in handicap company at Galway earlier this month but okay fourth of eight in a Tramore maiden hurdle last time (2m1f, good to yielding); place chance. |

Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company in Britain this summer at Stratford (twice) and after making most (carrying head awkwardly, hung right) at Worcester (2m, good); no show on handicap debut at Galway and back into maiden company probably with a bit to find. |

Not the force of old (one-time useful Flat handicapper) but runner-up on latest three starts in modest maiden hurdle company in Britain; twice at Stratford and most recently after making most (carrying head awkwardly, hung right) at Worcester (2m, good); handicap debut and doesn't exactly appear thrown in. |

11st 12lb |
Useful on the Flat in Britain, rated 89; made a winning start for this yard over hurdles at Killarney in May (2m1f, gd-yld); heavy defeat in a Punchestown novice too bad to be true; returned with a small graze on right-fore cannon bone, possibly picked up when blundering five out. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |

Three-time Flat winner in Britain (1m-1m3f); made promising start to hurdling career on stable debut after 11 months off when landing 2m1f maiden at Killarney 27 days ago, beating Tyson Fury by 4l; jumping was very novicey and needs to improve; form of that race has a solid look to it and he's a leading contender; wouldn't want much rain based on Flat form. |

Mark continues to fall and he showed that the abilty was still there when third of seven behind King's Code at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) in December, but he remains without a win since the start of 2021; others are more persuasive. |

Looked a useful prospect on good ground last spring and confirmed it on AW in recent outings; dictated a steady pace when winning the Easter Classic Handicap at Newcastle (1m2f) four weeks ago; 4lb higher today but lightly raced and could continue on his upward curve. |

Five turf wins but has done most of his winning on the AW; surprising to see blinkers back on having won in a visor at Chester last month and then beaten only 4l in a Class 2 handicap at Goodwood; if that doesn't backfire then has possibilities. |

Took form to a new level on AW early this year, which he's not repeated but winning at Chester (1m2f, good) 18 days ago was a return to his best turf form; back up 3lb today, well held in this race two years ago (his only handicap here) and he also has more to prove on ground firmer than good. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Sole win from 19 starts came in a Salisbury maiden on his second start in 2023; has posted a couple of good efforts for this stable, including when beaten a neck at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; first-time hood) in February; cheekpieces are quickly discarded after a poor run here over 1m3f latest. |

0-11 on the AW and 1-18 overall; down another 2lb and cheekpieces are given a go this time, but he still has stamina to prove over this far. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

0-13 in handicaps and usually seen over further than this, but he did run well when fourth of nine over 7f here in March; with a couple in here that like to go forward, he may have the race run to suit and drops into a 0-80 for the first time; hood removed; interesting. |

Fine on Tapeta but has done most winning round Chelmsford, always over 1m2f; generally consistent in recent times, without looking quite as good, and has to prove his stamina going beyond 1m4f for the first time; the usual headgear comes off. |

Much more exposed than some of these and usually runs over 1m2f but gave pretty good account when fourth in valuable Chelmsford handicap (1m2f) a fortnight and is 1lb lower here; could have a say. |

Formerly a front-runner but more often held up these days; finished a 4l seventh at Wolverhampton in last two starts but he's 5-9 at Chelmsford and was runner-up over C&D in June; has possibilities back at this track and he needs a close look with Hollie Doyle booked. |
