7th 8 (12) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Rattled off a four-timer (good to firm/good/soft) in 2024 and landed his first two starts of 2025, latterly the City & Suburban (also 1m2f) at Epsom in April; just one good run from four starts in Meydan this winter but his British return, when second at Goodwood with two of these behind six weeks ago, could be a run to build on. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |

Dual winner last spring (including over C&D) and comes here in good nick after a spell in Meydan; he's not discounted. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Ran in snatches and reportedly hung right when well beaten at Haydock latest; something to prove after that but progressive previously, winning twice in the spring (1m2f, good), and could bounce back with a big run. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
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. |
100/30 |

5th 1 |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
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. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has posted some good efforts this season but is without a win since September 2024, and finished behind Amidst The Chaos at Doncaster last time; visor returns and he has an each-way chance. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Winless since 2024 but in good form this season until last of six (in refitted cheekpieces) in 1m2f Epsom handicap 16 days ago; headgear is quickly dispensed with and this course scorer is the sort to bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Without a win since 2024 but earns good marks for his consistency in recent months and lost out only by a head off today's mark at Ripon (1m2f, good) in June; probably won't be far away. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Probably no ground worries; not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, but he was fourth in the Ebor last year off a 2lb higher mark; ran creditably on reappearance, before none of his three starts since panned out favourably; can be given a place chance. |
33/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, but he was fourth in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to firm) last August off a 2lb higher mark; ran creditably on reappearance, before neither start since panned out favourably; only ninth in this last year on his only run at Goodwood. |
25/1 |
|
11th 2 (13) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, and never involved when 7-1 for last year's 1m4f Duke of Edinburgh at this meeting; however, it would be unwise not to recall his fourth in the Ebor at York last August (1m6f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark and he was unsuited by the steady pace at York last time out (1m4f); could get competitive should this pan out favourably; stable won this in 2022. |

Dual course winner in the past and completed a double elsewhere in April; however, finished behind Tony Montana at Glorious Goodwood most recently and is rather weighted to the hilt off current mark. |
14/1 |
|
10th 13 (7) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Has won twice at this track, albeit in very different races to this; 1m2f wins at Newbury and Epsom (made all) on good ground in April and ran well again when third at Sandown this month on good to firm; each-way player if he's in the same form. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 2 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |

Better than ever with 1m2f wins at Newbury and Epsom (made all) on good ground in April but a further 5lb rise proved enough to stop him at York last time; might be vulnerable again. |

10yo with a 9-57 record on turf compared to 0-9 (three seconds) on AW; still a force on turf last season (won off 5lb higher) and 2025 reappearance was okay but he took a backward step at Ripon next time. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
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. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 (9) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
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. |

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. |
9/4 |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y |

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. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 5lb
|
Second reserve; after a stint over hurdles (1-5) he's back with his former trainer for whom he finished fourth in the 1m4f 3yo handicap here two years ago (off 3lb lower); seems to retain all his ability and would have each-way prospects if getting a run; well beaten on the Flat in sole attempt in cheekpieces. |

4th 1 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Useful handicapper on the Flat for George Boughey; off the mark on fourth hurdle start when taking Ludlow handicap in good style last time; drying ground suits; should go well despite 9lb rise. |
9/4 |

1st 1 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four wins for George Boughey at 1m2f/1m4f and useful in that scene; wouldn't have won but displayed some ability until falling at Sandown on hurdles debut in January; also offered something to work on in two starts the following month; Flat form makes this opening hurdle mark look dangerous. |

9st 1lb |
Won at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in April and respectable fifth of 15 to Warrant Holder over this C&D (good) in May; the return to Epsom maybe didn't suit latest (well beaten) but he needs to bounce back with a career best. |

12th 12 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
6yo who has a career-high mark on the strength of his win at Pontefract (1m2f, good; acts on soft/heavy) in April; creditable fifth at York next time but the chief disincentive is probably that he ran poorly in this race last year on his only visit to Epsom. |

Formerly with Sir Michael Stoute, smart over 1m4f in 2020 when usually visored; absent for 1373 days before last season and staged a partial recovery when tried in cheekpieces at Musselburgh (1m6f) on second run back, admittedly in only eighth of 14 (beaten about 5l); dropped another 6lb since but also absent another 407 days. |

Strike-rate of 4-12; wasn't helping his jockey when a close third behind an improver at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) and blinkers could be a significant addition, replacing regular cheekpieces; there's nothing wrong with his mark. |
