6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Filly who has been campaigned over a variety of distances this season; didn't run badly when ninth of 12 at 80-1 in the Melrose at York (1m6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but others make greater appeal. |
33/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Filly who has run over various trips this year, posting respectable efforts in 7f Listed race and 1m4f Group 3 before 7l second of three in Pontefract handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last Sunday; it's possible she'll be suited by this new distance but others have a lot more substance to their claims. |
50/1 |

2nd 2 (1) |
17th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won valuable 2yo fillies' series final at Goodwood (7f, heavy) last September and returned to form with Listed fourth at Carlisle (soft) in June when dropped back to 7f; didn't run badly when well-beaten third of four in 1m4f Group 2 at Haydock (good) last time; has more to prove than her two rivals but she's not ruled out now back in a handicap. |

1st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent 3yo who ran creditably at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Derby day most recently, taking form figures to 11233 while shaping as if this drop back in distance will prove ideal; seems versatile as regards ground; 1-1 over 1m1f and holds solid claims. |
11/4 |
|
2 (5) |
7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Two from two in novice events last term (one on soft) and creditable placed efforts in 1m2f/1m handicaps on both starts this season; may still do better but the return to this trip isn't guaranteed to help as settling him is still something of an issue. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Debut at Ayr last September remains his only win but three of his last four starts (two over 1m2f at Ayr, one C&D) suggest he is capable of getting seriously involved. |
7/2 |
|
8 (2) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won 2yo debut here (1m, good) last September and clear second behind well-handicapped winner in handicap over this C&D (good) in July; has shown promise on good to soft (unraced on softer); close fifth at York 11 days ago and he could play a leading role now back here. |
5/1 |
|
10 (10) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Second to an unexposed Haggas horse at Ayr before racing too freely for his own good when favourite for a Racing League handicap at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft); if giving himself a better chance here he might not be far away. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive to win three 1m2f handicaps (Lingfield AW, Chester and Epsom) this season before never dangerous at Newmarket three weeks ago on his first race on good to firm; best effort on good to soft, soft in places, the time before, with a strong finish to pip Grecian Legacy, and he may well bounce back to go well again. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
The most exposed runner in the line-up but he's been progressive in handicaps and completed a double with his strong finish at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last month; up another 5lb but he did well to overcome trouble last time and is now 2-3 on turf; Ryan Moore booked; major chance. |
9/2 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |

Six races on AW and two on good ground; progressive in 1m2f handicaps, leading 1f out for a tidy win in nine-runner race at Chester last Saturday; up 5lb but experienced and respected. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Beat only two rivals in a 1m1f fast-ground handicap at Lingfield but coped well with the 4lb rise to finish close up at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); firmly enters the reckoning. |
5/1 |
|
4 (5) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 3yo won a 1m2f Newbury maiden and doubled his tally in a three-runner 1m1f fast-ground handicap at Lingfield 13 days ago; only 4lb higher and quite fair to factor in further improvement going forwards. |
6/1 |
|
3 (2) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won by a head in Newbury maiden (1m2f, good) in May; ran creditably on handicap debut at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) next time but soundly beaten when 16-1 at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on latest; against Hot Dancer, this one probably needs overall improvement. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat for Andrew Balding; made inauspicious start to hurdling career last season but his close third on handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, good) five weeks ago was much better, and he may yet transfer more of that Flat ability to hurdling. |
11/4 |

3rd 8 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
A fair 1m2f Flat winner for Andrew Balding; yet to show any form of note in three juvenile hurdles this winter though and needs this switch to handicap company to yield major progress. |
16/1 |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |

Beaten when falling late on at Kempton two weeks ago and before that was tailed off behind Maestro Conti; worthy outsider. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistency seems far less evident in the last year or so but one trend has developed, as he's 3-13 on AW compared to 0-11 on turf; AW second last time was his best effort for a while but he's not the percentage call here. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dead-heated off 1lb higher at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) last April but he's not easy to predict and has finished down the field in his last four starts; may have needed his reappearance run at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month but others are more convincing. |
5/1 |
|
8th 5 (8) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

Has won at 1m but last two wins have been over 1m4f and his form can be up and down. |

Not at his best in recent outings and still 6lb higher than for his successful reappearance at Goodwood (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in May; others preferred. |
14/1 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Returned from winter break with an impressive Goodwood win (1m2f, good) in May, when overcoming trouble in running; has had plausible reasons for defeats since and could well have more to offer back with what look ideal conditions. |
5/1 |

4th 1 (7) |
27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |

Came up short in handicaps at major festivals the last twice; respectable form otherwise this term, winning at Goodwood then close second at Epsom; ran well here in sole AW attempt; not dismissed at this level. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 157y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
1m2f/1m4f winner on the AW for previous yard; settled better than in his first two runs over hurdles when demoted from first place in a 2m soft-ground maiden at Fontwell 15 days ago; that was a step forward but this handicap debut demands another. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 11 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Dual AW middle-distance winner for Charlie Johnston; picked up for 26,000gns; inclined to pull hard in two runs over hurdles for his new yard, who won this with a 4yo last year, and needs to be more amenable upped slightly in trip round here. |
