18th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 125y |
11st 12lb |
Glorious Goodwood 1m2f handicap winner for William Haggas in 2024 and the task has been to get him to settle over hurdles; there was really no second at Listowel, so easily did promising Love Me Tender (GER) win, but it was still a fair effort; hood now left off. |

2nd 1 |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Talented 1m2f performer in Britain, including a Glorious Goodwood success in 2024 for William Haggas; beaten 15l last time at Killarney and shouldn't be long in winning over hurdles. |
7/1 |

3rd 1 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Dual Flat winner in Britain on good-to-firm; improved on moderate hurdles debut when beaten 17l at Listowel on good 84 days ago having raced plenty keen; each-way claims if building on that. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Front-runner who rallied well when beating Aphrodite Spirit at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month but she came up short when favourite in a seller at Goodwood (1m3f, soft) last time; needs to step up again after that and others are preferred. |
16/1 |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Has been running well in 1m2f/1m4f handicaps and showed a willing attitude to edge home on the AW last Wednesday; solid chance, though wouldn't be certain to appreciate softening ground. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Not at his best in recent outings and still 6lb higher than for his successful reappearance at Goodwood (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in May; others preferred. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Returned from winter break with an impressive Goodwood win (1m2f, good) in May, when overcoming trouble in running; has had plausible reasons for defeats since and could well have more to offer back with what look ideal conditions. |
5/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |

Came up short in handicaps at major festivals the last twice; respectable form otherwise this term, winning at Goodwood then close second at Epsom; ran well here in sole AW attempt; not dismissed at this level. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden who was beaten a head when 2-7 in a novice at Bath (1m2f, good to soft) last month; third of six in a handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, good) next time but he was below his best at Nottingham (8.5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) eight days ago; steps back up trip with headgear removed for his AW debut. |
7/2 |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden who was turned over at 2-7 in a novice at Bath (1m2f, good to soft) two starts ago, when beaten into second; however, he's since been third of six in a handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, good) and that form gives him leading claims; it's possible first-time cheekpieces will be a plus. |
7/2 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 3yo with some good efforts in novice and maiden events (1m and 1m2f), just run out of a Bath event (good to soft) 19 days ago; probably needs a bit more off this mark now handicapping but that's possible. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times on the Flat when trained by Ed Walker (1m-1m2f) and made all over hurdles at Bangor for this stable in June; however, he was beaten 4l when third of four at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) in July and is unproven over this far on the Flat. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (2) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not seen on the Flat since signing off for Ed Walker with narrow success in first-time blinkers at Salisbury (1m2f, good) in October but won a recent handicap hurdle for new connections (no headgear) and is unexposed over this sort of trip in this sphere. |
7/1 |

1st 1 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat when based with Ed Walker; well beaten on stable/hurdle debut in January but his next two runs were much more encouraging, and there is still hope that more of his Flat ability can be transferred to this discipline. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Made the frame on first three turf starts this season but has not been in the same form since and this 8yo is nothing like the force of old; first AW run since 2024; others preferred. |
16/1 |

5th 1 (10) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up over this C&D in June; shaped better than the bare result at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) next time and didn't get home there last time over 11.5f after kicking clear; now 14lb below his last winning mark and he'll appreciate this drop back in trip. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Latest defeat when sent off favourite here (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago wasn't quite as bad as it looks, but his losing run is now up to 20 and his best form has come over shorter. |
9/2 |
