30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Narrow winner of a competitive 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday; two midfield finishes this month and he will need a career best to come out on top in this field. |
12/1 |

6th 4 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Has in-and-out profile and was only sixth at Ascot (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, but he's effective on turf and has won three of his last eight starts, most recently at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month; not ruled out. |
12/1 |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Behind Dosman at Southwell when tried in new blinkers two runs ago but left that form behind with a narrow verdict at Lingfield (1m), which seemed unlikely from where he was turning in; only 3lb higher and he's a C&D winner. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Finished a close fourth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster in March when rated 6lb higher (1m, good to soft); short of that level in three runs since, including when sent off favourite at Sandown last month (7f, soft; after three months off); drops in class with a hood tried but he comes with risk attached. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Hasn't kicked on as might have been expected from promising fourth of 21 in Spring Mile at Doncaster (good to soft) in March in two subsequent outings; still has time on his side though and he brings a different profile to most; needs to settle better but quite interesting. |

Form subsided slightly on final 2025 starts but now 2lb lower than his Carlisle win (1m, soft; acts on good) last June and he ran well for a long way in a strong Newbury handicap last month; may not be far away. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins for Ed Walker last season and positives can be drawn from the fact that one was on his seasonal return and the other was over C&D (good ground); returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark and a promising claimer is booked; contender. |
7/2 |

5th 7 (8) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Successful on soft ground in Ireland; has notched two handicap wins since joining Ed Walker (including under today's rider Oisin Murphy) but he needs to bounce back from a below-par run at Goodwood last time; same trainer/jockey won this last year. |
11/1 |

7th 9 (6) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Seems versatile as regards surface; won a shade comfortably at Haydock (7f) most recently, taking form figures for current stable to 1921; may be capable of further progress, with return to 1m no issue; big player. |

Well beaten in series final on AW last time; form otherwise this term features a few placed efforts; sole attempt over C&D (soft) resulted in a comfortable win off 9lb higher in 2023; one to consider. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins over shorter as a 3yo; improved when second at Kempton on his seasonal return last month (1m) and when third at Nottingham 17 days ago he found himself poorly positioned; well worth another crack at this trip and he should make a bold bid. |
5/2 |

3rd 1 (5) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Turf (1m, good) and AW winner (7f) in 2025; ended last season with a placed effort at Lingfield and he reappeared with a good second at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last month; looks interesting off unchanged mark and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |

Three-time Flat winner on yielding/soft for Johnny Murtagh; no success in Britain in recent years and poor form in three runs over hurdles for current yard over the winter; doesn't appeal as well treated. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to win a handicap but not for a lack of effort and he ran well for second over C&D last month; perhaps stretched by 1m2f at Lingfield last month and he is one to take seriously back down in trip. |
3/1 |
|
11th 8 (4) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came in a Lingfield maiden (6f, AW) a year ago, but is back off the same mark as when beaten half a length over C&D (good to firm) in May; soft ground not a problem and each-way claims if reproducing that form. |
12/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

6f AW maiden winner who seems to stay this trip; not at best on last three starts (hung left returned to AW last time) and will have to fare better if he's to win this. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

All runs at 1m; tad disappointing in handicaps so far but again gave the impression he'd be worth a crack at 7f last time; could easily confirm earlier promise this evening. |
9/1 |

6 (6) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Began career with two seconds and a win; less successful in handicaps but he wasn't disgraced when sixth in a warm race at Southwell in July; withdrawn after breaking out of the stalls at Chelmsford in August; carries risks (well held here on only turf start) but he's well bred and lightly raced so there may be better to come from him yet. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |

Often leads; won this race (soft) off this mark last year but his form has dipped noticeably since two creditable thirds in June; last time's Racing League appearance can be forgiven, however, and he's not totally dismissed back here. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Hurled in on what he achieved as a 3yo and belatedly returned to form when a length winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f; backed into 9-2); raised just 3lb and he has form here. |
4/1 |

1st 1 (5) |
5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Thrown in on his 3yo form but he has gone the wrong way in a hurry and a wind operation last November hasn't arrested the slide; drops into his first 0-55 and has a good apprentice booked so a revival isn't completely out of the question. |

17th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Both starts over 6f at Goodwood last year, stepping up from her debut in May when successful there the following month (race has produced winners); year absence since then is a concern, but she is a half-sister to an AW winner and she should appreciate the longer trip on breeding; respected, especially if market positive. |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Successful on 2yo debut; has failed to repeat that form since, well held over C&D most recently; chance depends on how well he responds to new headgear. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won on 2yo debut at Haydock (1m, soft) last September; the return to slow ground may be a positive but he's gone backwards from that initial promise and was soundly beaten at Haydock (1m, good) only 12 days ago. |
9/1 |

11 (11) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Overcame greenness to win on C&D debut (soft) last September; has failed to back up that form in four subsequent outings (mainly AW) and needs a first-time visor and return to Haydock to spark a revival back from eight weeks off. |
20/1 |
Verdict
The suggestion is ATA RANGI who may have more to offer for his current stable. Interesting handicap debutante Alerta Maxima is second choice, ahead of Hot Cash who is still unexposed on forecast slow ground. Several others have clear possibilities.[Steve Boow]
