14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 216y |
12st 0lb |
Four-time Flat winner for Michael Bell, rated 78 at his peak; best form on good/good to firm and has been soundly beaten in three hurdle starts for this stable; potentially interesting if the ground is not too slow. |

Four-time Flat winner for Michael bell achieved a rating of 78 in that sphere; best form on good/good to firm and has been soundly beaten in both hurdle starts for new stable; may be of more interest on better ground. |

Four-time Flat winner for Micheal Bell achieved a rating of 78 in that sphere; best form on good/good to firm and was soundly beaten on hurdles debut at Down Royal last month (2m1f, yld-sft); may need better ground. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Eight-race maiden; reached the frame in three maiden/novice events but he's been well held in three handicaps including in two runs for current yard; mark continues to fall but he weakened when upped to 2m at Kempton last time and others are preferred. |
14/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Seven-race maiden who made no impression over 1m6f most recently; chance of winning depends on how well he reacts to first-time headgear and going up further in distance. |

5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has shown considerable promise; no threat on either start this season, most recently his handicap debut at Goodwood (1m4f) on final run for Raphael Freire; remains in same ownership; needs something extra now up in trip (not bred for it) but not written off. |

Record of 3-6 on AW includes a couple of middle-distance wins at Kempton; returns here off a handy mark but has stamina to prove over this new trip; 0-5 for current yard. |

Beaten only half a length when fourth of six at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in June; however, beaten 4l when fifth back there (1m4f, good to firm) last time; slow ground may be preferable. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Close third on soft at Yarmouth (1m6f) last July was his best turf form; needs better given the improvement he's shown on Kempton AW (2m) in two of his three starts since, but he'd have a good chance if that form is transferred back to turf; won on 2024 reappearance; needs a close look. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
0-4 on turf but he was close up in two of his turf handicaps (good to firm/soft); blinkered on last four outings, winning from off the pace over 2m on Kempton AW on the first and latest occasions; carries a 4lb penalty and is 3lb out of the handicap, so more improvement is needed, but the latest win was delivered in strikingly good style. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Lightly raced since 2023 and still needs to prove he retains peak ability; has won over C&D (off 4lb higher) but failed to repeat the form back here last time. |

3 (4) |
13th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
His improved form in 2023 culminated with a C&D win but he's run only three times since and he didn't show enough at Haydock in July, following an absence, to earmark for this race. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Quite a useful handicapper at up to 2m for William Haggas on the Flat; well-held fifth of 13 on hurdling debut at Hereford in February but she left that form well behind when justifying favouritism with a 14l win at Kempton (2m, good) last month; has a penalty but that was an impressive win and she could have a lot more to offer in this sphere; strongly respected. |
7/4 |

1st 5 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Quite a useful handicapper at up to 2m for William Haggas on the Flat; ran to only a modest level when 15l fifth of 13 on her 2m Hereford hurdle debut (soft) 20 days ago but she's entitled to come on for the experience. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Quite a useful handicapper at up to 2m for William Haggas on the Flat; bought for 20,000gns last October; acts on soft ground; an interesting newcomer. |

Absent since finishing 5l behind Caprelo here in May; may put up a better fight in the rematch, having been fresh when gamely making all over C&D earlier in the spring. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Having his second start back from wind surgery when making all and just holding on over C&D last month (first two clear); has since finished fourth of eight in a slightly better race at Ascot (2m, good to firm); respected, especially if again allowed an uncontested lead. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two-time bumper winner (soft/good) who made all in Flat handicaps on Tapeta (1m6f) and turf (2m, heavy) in the second half of last year; ended last season on a low note but he still has scope for further progress and needs watching in market on his return. |
4/1 |

8th 8 (5) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Two-time bumper winner (soft/good) who has made all in Flat handicaps this year at Southwell (2m, AW) and Chester (1m6f, heavy); he did it easily last time and, while the form perhaps shouldn't be taken at face value, a 6lb rise isn't overly harsh; could make another bold bid. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won on soft last October, twice on AW in May/June and, although two of his four starts since were pretty disappointing, he reached new heights when scoring tidily at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; just 2lb higher than last time and when he's won he's done it in some style. |
6/1 |

1st 6 (9) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Bath (1m5f, soft) around a year ago but largely kept to AW since and went back-to-back in that sphere (1m6f/2m) across May and June; lesser effort at Kempton three weeks ago but he's not ruled out on this return to turf. |
13/2 |
|
10 (4) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won well over C&D in June, completing an AW double, and posted a solid effort back here last time (odds-on winner has boosted the form since); likely player off unaltered mark. |
