No worthwhile form in three bumpers and two hurdle races, in blinkers for last three starts; opposable. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Gradually progressive over hurdles and recorded his second success in this sphere, over C&D (good to firm), in July; 6lb higher here but he won with authority and should go close on his follow-up bid. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
3m1f winner who has been running well for a while and would have prevailed in another stride over C&D a month ago; up 4lb so has another career-high mark to deal with, but clear claims. |

Came good in 16-runner handicap at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) in November, his eighth attempt, and returned from break with two good efforts this spring, latterly when third (just behind Jafimgoso) at Southwell (3m, good) three weeks ago; another to consider. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
0-4 over hurdles but has shown ability and matched the pick of his maiden/novice form when a 9.5l third on handicap debut at Southwell (2m; refitted tongue-tie/cheekpieces), fading late; well beaten on the Flat since following wind surgery and first-time blinkers need to spark some improvement. |

Both wins came in 2022 when trained in France; returning to the Flat for the first time this year when the race was voided at Wolverhampton; he was 50-1 that day. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |

Both wins came in 2022 when trained in France; returns to the Flat for the first time this year after a couple of runs over hurdles; down to a career-low mark and has had wind surgery but others are preferred. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
First Flat start since 2024 when he came home strongly to win slowly run 1m6f handicap at Sandown (good; 50-1) on his stable debut in June; the searchlights had to be switched on at Goodwood (soft) three weeks ago, and stamina for this far remains unproven, but he could bounce back on the forecast better ground. |
10/1 |

9th 4 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Pulled up over hurdles on final two runs for Ben Pauling but he won his two previous Flat races when trained in Ireland and belatedly completed a hat-trick when coming from last to first despite steady fractions in a 1m6f handicap at Sandown in June (good); raised a fair 5lb; showed some early promise on slow ground. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Four AW wins in Ireland in 2024 (10.7f-1m4f), all in blinkers; modest hurdle form for Ben Pauling in 2025; makes his stable debut after 205 days off and he goes without headgear. |

Outran 50-1 odds when third over C&D (good) in July, his third start for Sarah-Jayne Davies, but ran poorly here last month and now has it all to prove again; cheekpieces are refitted. |

Outran 50-1 odds when third over C&D (good) last month, his third start for Sarah-Jayne Davies, but needs a better performance today and his overall profile remains unconvincing. |

9st 11lb |
Has won her last four races by an aggregate of about 52l; made all at Lingfield (1m5f, AW) most recently; climbing the weights and steps up further in grade but commands respect in current form. |

Completed a turf hat-trick (11.5f-2m) last month and gained the last two wins by very wide margins, latest in a match race; respected in current form, assuming she's as effective back on AW. |

Refused to race on last visit here when due to contest a handicap hurdle in October; won over an extended 1m3f and 2m back on the Flat this month, scoring by 19l last week at Nottingham when 2lb well in under a penalty; that was an apprentice race so has no penalty. |

25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Reached a smart level on the Flat for the Crisfords (effective at 1m with give underfoot); flopped on hurdling/stable debut for Nicky Henderson in July but had wind surgery afterwards and there was some encouragement to be gleaned from her fifth at Ascot (1m, good to soft) 19 days ago; that could be a run to build on and her sole start at 1m2f was inconclusive; not at all ruled out. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Reached a smart level on the Flat for the Crisfords (effective at 1m with give underfoot); bitterly disappointing in a novice hurdle on debut for Nicky Henderson but unwise to read too much into that and she's had wind surgery in the meantime. |
16/1 |

8th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Very useful on the Flat for the Crisfords and a respectable sixth in a 1m Newmarket handicap in October; switched to a top jumps stable for hurdling career and could easily be too good for these if taking to it, providing the stays. |
