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. |

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. |

Third reserve; four-time winner in Britain for George Boughey, including two on quick ground; starts out for new yard off what looks a tough mark; rain would be a negative. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Completed a four-timer in April/May but has taken backward steps the last twice; chance of resuming progress depends on how well he responds to added cheekpieces and the new trip. |

British raider; AW winner is 2-3 on turf; beaten 3.25l when third of 6 on latest in class 5 handicap at Nottingham (1m6f, gd-fm) and 12lb higher here; previously won back to back 1m6f races on the AW at Chelmsford and Wolves by combined distance of 20l; career best needed. |

11st 6lb |
In good form under both codes since April, winning once on the Flat and three times over hurdles, latest when scoring comfortably on his first attempt at 2m6f at Stratford eight days ago; escapes a penalty for that success and could have more to offer over this even longer trip; key player. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
In good form on the Flat (one win) and over hurdles (two wins) since returning from a break in the spring; not yet proven over this far but recent 2m1f Flat third offers hope he could have untapped potential as a staying hurdler. |
11/8 |

2nd 2 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |

Has got himself high in the weights over hurdles but has continued to run well in recent weeks; assured stayer who is only 3lb higher than for his 2m1f win at Bath back in the spring. |

6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful on the Flat at his best; weakened into well-held fifth on stable/hurdle debut at Worcester (2m, good) in May but both subsequent Flat runs were respectable; upped in trip with cheekpieces refitted here; ought to be capable of improvement over jumps. |
10/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Very lightly raced 5yo who has been unable to fulfil the significant promise shown when winning in 2023 on his second outing; however, he didn't run badly in fourth of five here (2m2f, good) in June on his second stable start and this is less competitive; could be a contender. |
11/4 |

4th 2 (2) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1m2f Flat winner (soft) but has made the track only five times since that success in October 2023 and was right out of form on last two outings last year; changed hands and left Andrew Balding before well beaten in a maiden hurdle one month ago; a recent positive sign is lacking. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Useful Flat racer who won a 2m maiden hurdle here in July and was close second over C&D (also on good) when upped in trip for last month's handicap debut; seemingly overlooked by Sean Bowen today but helps to give trainer Olly Murphy a good hand in this race. |

2nd 2 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Useful Flat performer for the Crisfords; has made a solid start over hurdles, winning over 2m here and then fourth when penalised at Uttoxeter; should have a future off this sort of mark. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

Respectable Flat form for the Crisfords and has made a bright start over hurdles, winning as he liked last time at Worcester (good); the second nearly went one better next time; a strong contender even with a penalty. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Versatile tactically; his only two wins were in 2023 but this highly reliable handicapper has been runner-up in six of his seven races since, including in useful company and also over 2m when he wore cheekpieces on last three occasions (hung right and lost out to a rallying rival last time); now tries blinkers and has each-way claims from low draw. |
11/2 |

2nd 7 (7) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Versatile tactically; off since last July but short-headed last May after a longer absence and he was also runner-up on his two other starts last term, taking his handicap record to 121224222; upped to 2m with cheekpieces enlisted for last two outings, one of which was on Chelmsford Polytrack; edging up the weights but should go well again. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Sound efforts at Newmarket (1m6f) and Chelmsford (2m, AW) this season, taking handicap record to 12122422; the cheekpieces worn last time are retained; up another 2lb but again looks a solid contender. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
No win since 2022 but has a pretty solid record over 2m here, most recently when beaten just under 3l on penultimate start; second in the 2022 Cesarewitch over 2m2f but he came 11th in the last two renewals of this race; worse than good to soft ground looks against him. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Useful on his day; no win since 2022 but has shaped encouragingly at Chelmsford (1m6f) and Goodwood (2m) this term, staying on both times; can't be dismissed off current mark. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Finished fourth in this race last year, then second here next time; ran encouragingly in AW event on reappearance; capable of being involved but is badly out of the winning habit, with losing spell going back to 2022. |

Both wins have been on the Polytrack at Lingfield, last time winning by 2.5l in first-time blinkers over 1m5f; very much had the run of things that day but could be capable of defying the 5lb rise should the headgear continue to help. |
6/1 |

1st 3 (1) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Course winner (1m2f); ran well at Chelmsford in June off 5lb higher; stepping up to 2m hasn't worked on his last two starts, albeit in stronger company than this; blinkers added now back down in grade and he's one to be interested in. |
4/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |

Remains lightly raced and his useful dam got better with age for this yard; promising fourth at Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) last month but soundly beaten there since (2m) and he needs to raise his game today. |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
10st 2lb |
Three flat wins for Michael Bell came at 1m6f on quick ground; ordinary enough hurdles form for current yard but fine run on the flat over this trip at the Curragh on Derby weekend back on decent ground, only losing second late on when 2lb out of handicap; down in grade here and tongue-tie tried; has to be respected. |

3rd 11 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |

Dual-purpose; 3-13 on the Flat for Michael Bell, all three wins over 1m6f on fast ground; has placed AW form at around this trip; modest form on easy ground over hurdles so far for this yard but return to quicker conditions on the Flat could revive; 2lb wrong. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Enjoyed a fine 2025 with seven wins at up to 2m; yet to score this season but arrives in good nick, fourth in 2m2f Musselburgh handicap two weeks ago; he's well in the mix off a 2lb lower mark with blinkers refitted. |
9/2 |

4th 1 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
His strike-rate is better on AW than turf and this inconsistent 6yo was a tailed-off third at Southwell (2m, AW) in July last time; however, before that he was a close third of 20 in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m, AW) and he's shown some good turf form this season; capable of a big run. |
