13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
He's on a competitive mark on his best form for Andrew Balding, which includes a good third of 22 over C&D (good) last May; market check advised on first run since last July, having been gelded and changed hands for 62,000gns in the interim, but he needs to be at the very top of his game. |
40/1 |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Kempton novice on his return in March and he's been placed in four handicaps since, including when third of 22 at York (7f, good) on his penultimate run; never dangerous when third on AW at Lingfield last time but that was behind an improver who made all and he's respected on this step back up in trip. |
6/1 |
|
9 (5) |
19th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Bred for longer distances but he's a free-going sort who seems better at 7f than 1m; won a Kempton novice in March and he's been placed in three handicaps since, including when third of 22 at York (good) last time; on unchanged mark and he should make another bold bid back on AW. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
This 3yo has very much gone the right way since an AW debut success in March, including two 1m Ascot handicap wins (another excellent run there when third in Britannia at Royal meeting); caught wide and too far back when eighth of 17 in handicap at York's Ebor meeting last month and that shouldn't be taken to suggest his improvement has come to a halt; won't need to advance his form too much to make his presence felt in Group company. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (15) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Good effort in the Britannia at Royal Ascot is flanked by two Ascot wins, latest in big field on King George day (1m, good) when taking form figures to 123131; progressive and very solid. |
11/2 |
|
1st 8 (17) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive 3yo who strolled home in a C&D handicap in May and performed even better when a close third in the Britannia here (again good to firm) the following month; that run more than justifies a further 5lb rise in the weights and he's a major player again on a course he clearly handles very well. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-7 and he has beaten just three rivals home in his four handicap starts; tumbling down the weights but carries risk. |
25/1 |
|
7th 3 (9) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Promising third at Kempton (7f, AW) last March on his second start but has beaten only one rival in three handicaps since; still lightly raced but he needs a transformation at this new trip; cheekpieces added. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-race maiden who has yet to be placed and he was tailed off in an Epsom handicap (1m2f, good) 12 days ago; visor is now added and he needs a major revival back in trip. |
16/1 |
|
9th 9 (6) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Patchy form across nine starts although latest fifth of 13 at Brighton (1m2f, good) was one of his better efforts; didn't seem to handle the track on his sole visit here, however. |
16/1 |

5th 6 (11) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unplaced in all eight starts over 7f-8.5f, his best efforts coming on the AW; nothing in his pedigree to suggest that stepping up in trip will prove the answer. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
He's gone backwards since his fair debut effort; shorter in the betting than may have been anticipated ahead of his reappearance last month but still finished well beaten. |
25/1 |

7th 7 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Achieved little in a handful of starts last year (5f-7f) and is hard to fancy returning from a lengthy absence. |
12/1 |

7 (7) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Unexposed after only four runs but struggled when 100-1 for last month's handicap debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and it takes a big leap of faith to support him in first-time blinkers. |

Won three times over 1m here last summer and 5lb lower than for the most recent; hasn't threatened in her last five starts, though, and another furlong would be preferable. |

6th 13 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Won three times for two different stables at Brighton last year (1m, good to firm-good) but was soundly beaten on first three starts for current stable this spring (all 7f); considered only if lively in the betting. |

3yo maiden; encouraging form over further since handicapping and shapes as if this drop back in trip will suit; one to consider. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; track and ground no concern and he was running on well when second over 5.3f here 12 days ago; has been placed over 7f but others may see it out better. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (7) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-11 but has made the frame in seven of his eight starts in handicap company, including when fourth of 12 in this headgear combination on his return from five months off at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 18 days ago (She Went Whoosh second); drops to this level for the first time and respected. |
11/4 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden who can take a strong hold but he finished well when runner-up over C&D (heavy) last autumn; returns after five months but he's handicapped on his best form and has had only three runs for current yard; needs a close look with hood added. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Capable of the odd howler but he opened his account in Southwell handicap (1m4f, Tapeta) in April and similar form when third in an amateur riders' race back there three weeks later; wasn't at his best in another amateur riders' race last time but he's recovered from blips before. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Finally opened his account at Southwell in April and he followed it with a solid third of eight there eight days ago; ought to be thereabouts again. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
A few near-misses around here before finally off the mark three weeks ago off 6lb lower (boasts a much better record on Tapeta than Polytrack); holds obvious claims under the vastly experienced Simon Walker. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Pick of Flat form when close third at Lingfield last June (11.6f; turf; Betelgeuse behind); won twice over hurdles since and is now asked to go further back on the level; interesting candidate. |
100/30 |
|
5th 7 |
18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won juvenile hurdle at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) in November and returned to form to win handicap against older horses at Huntingdon (2m, soft) a fortnight ago; did it easily last time and a 9lb rise may not stop him. |
15/8 |

1st 6 |
5th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Juvenile hurdler who came up rather short in Fontwell handicap most recently, failing to back up the form of his 66-1 win there; others preferred. |

Yet to offer much in his eight runs to date; beaten 13l at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month; wears first-time blinkers but not easy to warm to. |

8th 10 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Well beaten in each of his six starts (7f/1m) and this longer trip needs to bring out significant improvement. |
