1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Showed improved form (won/second) in 2m handicaps at Goodwood in May; came up short at Royal Ascot (2m4f) since but may have more to offer back down in trip/grade; tongue-tie applied. |
8/1 |

12th 19 (7) |
17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Tailed off last June in the Derby and 1m4f Group 2 at this meeting; gelded and reappeared this season with two improved performances in 2m handicaps on good ground at Goodwood, winning the first in emphatic style and collared close home by Manxman on latest; up another 2lb but another bold show may well be on its way. |

Gelded prior to emphatic success over C&D (good) this month on handicap/seasonal debut, proving suited by the new trip and opening his account at the seventh attempt; respected with further improvement plausible. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Last-gasp win under Taryn Langley in a warm race at Lingfield (2m, AW) on Good Friday; bumped into a well-handicapped rival at Goodwood (2m, good) since and respected off the same mark for last year's winning yard. |
9/4 |

2nd 1 (3) |
3rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won off 2lb higher at Goodwood (1m6f, good) last May, form which he's failed to match since but his last-gasp win under Taryn Langley in a warm race at Lingfield (2m, AW) 15 days ago was a healthy step back in the right direction; back up 4lb but back in serious calculations. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Three Flat wins and he's 2-5 over hurdles; competitive in both disciplines since returning from a break and this scenario is ideal for him. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made good start to hurdling career in the autumn, including when going close in a Cheltenham novice (2m4f, good to soft; has won on good ground); reappeared with a creditable third at Plumpton last month and he's feasibly treated on his best Flat form last year, including a sequence of runner-up efforts over staying trips; respected back in this sphere. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Useful Flat performer who made good start to hurdling career in the autumn, including when going close in a Cheltenham novice (2m4f, good to soft; has won on good ground); flopped at Ascot (2m5f, good) in November but has had a break since and retains potential now in his first handicap hurdle. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well held over hurdles in last three runs but he's won plenty under both codes including three over C&D; still 3lb higher than for his win here last June but he needs watching in market back on the Flat; effective on good/good to firm but most of his wins have come on slow ground. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won plenty under both codes, including over C&D, and has slid to an attractive mark; this is less competitive than the races he's been contesting of late and he's one of the likelier winners back up in trip. |
3/1 |
|
7th 8 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who returned to form with clear second at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) in December; only seventh of 12 at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) but didn't run badly and he's not discounted. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning at Pontefract (2m1f, good to firm) last September when with Sir Mark Prescott; hasn't been with this yard for long, but he has looked better on Tapeta than on Polytrack thus far. |

2-11 for Sir Mark Prescott, including 2m1f win at Pontefract (good to firm; 3lb higher today) last September in first-time cheekpieces; sold for 90,000gns in October and his only run over hurdles was a modest one in March; cheekpieces absent that day and in this race; others preferred. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A nine-time Flat winner over 1m6f-2m, he made a pleasing hurdles debut when third of five finishers (with stablemate Alex The Great 27l back) in a Hereford maiden (2m, good) 15 days ago; steps up in trip and holds place claims. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hurdles debutant who is a nine-time AW winner at 1m6f/2m, most recently in March; one of the better contenders in terms of achievements but an unconvincing turf record leaves him with something to prove. |
11/2 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Got back on the scoresheet at Lingfield (2m, AW) last month and he ran to a similar level when fourth at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 11 days ago; on lower mark back on turf but he's struggled in his six runs in this sphere including three 2m handicaps; risks attached. |
