13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Uncharacteristically below par when well beaten at Chester last month and the track wasn't an excuse; four Group 3/Listed wins last year, including when making all in this under a 5lb penalty (same today), and he reappeared with a Listed win at Musselburgh in April; leading claims if back on song. |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 84y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Justified favouritism in Listed grade at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) on seasonal debut, making it five wins from his last nine starts and taking overall record to 13-36; Chester record reads 112, most recently running creditably in this race 12 months ago; again likely to give his running. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who keeps pulling out more, with 12 wins; the four last season (April-October) included career-best form; unraced here; has never won first time out but he has run creditably and is the clear form pick. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for trainer; dual-purpose sort who has run creditably in the last three Melbourne Cups (rated 107 on the Flat); 2024 County Hurdle winner was well below his best in that race this season back from a break (2m1f, soft); improved display at Cork when 3.25l behind Ndaawi (16.5f, yielding); a good bit to find with Lossiemouth even if running to his rating, which he hasn't done so far this term. |

2nd 3 |
5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 70y |
11st 2lb |
Classy dual-purpose sort who has run creditably in the last three Melbourne Cups (rated 107 on the Flat); below best after a break in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham but should be sharper now and Harry Cobden has won on him before; top rated at 153 and obvious chance. |
5/4 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
Won this in 2024 and third last year, albeit off much lower marks; operated a little below his very best on the Flat last year, including in Australia in the autumn, which perhaps raises a few doubts as to whether he'll be able to find the career-best hurdle performance which will be needed to defy such a lofty mark. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Ready winner of Rowley Mile handicap here (1m4f, good) in May and creditable third in Group 3 Aston Park Stakes at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) next time; stretched by 1m6f at York since and the drop back in trip is in his favour; however, he needs something extra to come out on top in today's company. |

3rd 4 (2) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ready winner of Newmarket handicap (1m4f, good) last month and respectable third in Group 3 Aston Park Stakes at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) latest; further improvement is needed now up in trip but this lightly raced 4yo is in excellent hands to continue to progress; unraced on slow ground. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
17th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who returned to Britain with a career-best performance to win a handicap at Newmarket (1m4f, good) a fortnight ago by about 3l; goes up in grade today but this progressive Frankel gelding, who cost 2,000,000gns in 2022 and is in top hands, could be up to the task. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Very smart Flat horse for Andrew Balding; had wind surgery after his one blip over hurdles and then won at Musselburgh despite a slipping saddle (2m1f, good to soft); carries a penalty but looks a major player. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
1m6f Group 3 winner on the Flat in 2024; promising second on hurdle/stable debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; took backwards step at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in January but has had wind surgery since and he's a key player if back on song; versatile ground-wise. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
1m6f Group 3 winner on the Flat for Andrew Balding in July 2024; promising second on last month's hurdle/stable debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) and this step up in trip may well be a positive; he's one to consider. |
