17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 105y |
11st 12lb |
Won twice early in Flat career for Keith Dalgleish; missed all of 2024 and failed to recapture best form in five runs for Andrew Balding last year; big price on Irish/hurdling debut at Thurles; unlikely to feature. |

Won twice early in Flat career for Keith Dalgleish; missed all of 2024 and failed to recapture best form in five runs for Andrew Balding last year; rated 79 at season's end; others have stronger credentials. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Long layoff before he stuck on from last into a respectable sixth in nine-runner handicap at Goodwood (2m, soft; 7lb lower today) this June; seemingly found 14.5f too short at Doncaster next time (not disgraced) but his 2m run at Ascot 12 days ago was pretty disappointing. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Ended last year in storming form with a 1m6f/2m hat-trick, the final leg on Southwell Tapeta; not disgraced when never dangerous here in January and made a satisfactory return to turf (second at Newbury) in April, but this 8yo needs to hit another new high. |

Ended last year in storming form for 1m6f/2m hat-trick and not disgraced when never dangerous in January when last seen; peak efforts on softer than good but she's not dismissed. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on good and heavy ground; won off 2lb lower over C&D for Charlie Johnston last autumn and he ran well over hurdles last month, on his second run for current yard; seems tactically versatile and he's in the mix off a workable mark back on the Flat. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 7 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Useful on the Flat for Charlie Johnston, proving reliable and winning 2m handicap at Goodwood (heavy) last autumn (sold for 165,000gns soon after); 9-2, weakened to finish a well-held sixth of ten in Ascot juvenile (2m, soft) on hurdle debut in January; should be capable of a lot better in this sphere. |
2/1 |

6th 8 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 157y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Not far off useful on the Flat for Charlie Johnston, proving reliable and winning 2m handicap at Goodwood (heavy) last autumn; changed hands for 165,000gns in October; likely to be suited by longer distances in due course but he commands respect on his hurdling debut even so. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
1-20, but no doubting his consistency and was only just behind Naval Tribute when third of 12 in an apprentice handicap at Ascot (2m, good) last month; has had more chances than his old rival, but should again go well from the same mark. |
7/2 |

3rd 9 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came when evens for a Bath novice (1m2f, good to soft) as 2yo; respectable efforts across five starts at 1m6f and 2m in 2025 and he went mighty close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) in March after which he had a run over hurdles; strike-rate isn't a positive but he has the ability to figure. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 |
18th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Just 1-18 on Flat, with mostly fair form though and he was pipped over 1m6f just 15 days ago on latest start; just as good on turf as AW; sire Golden Horn has done well with plenty of jumpers; needs a close look on hurdle debut. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Best form on AW but has won on turf and it was his best effort on grass when third of six at Newbury (2m, good; plugged on) three weeks ago; each-way shout. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Has done best on AW, including three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f/2m) in the last six months; well held at Lingfield two weeks ago but has a modest record there; has won twice on turf, latterly on good ground at Bath (1m6f) last June but none of his turf form matches today's mark. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Something of a Wolverhampton specialist (3-5) though he has won on Polytrack at Kempton; the drop to 1m4f didn't help last time so the return to a longer distance should help, but his high draw may not be ideal even over this trip. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
His two wins last season (1m6f and 2m) both came on AW and by wide margins; also fully effective on turf and he made a most encouraging seasonal return when keeping on strongly in a 1m4f handicap (good ground) at Newmarket four weeks ago; still capable of better and the return to 1m6f will suit; Tom Marquand a good booking (a win and a fourth from two rides for the stable in the last five years); strong claims. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Made good progress handicapping for this yard from August onwards, scoring at Southwell (1m6f) then easily defying a penalty at Lingfield (2m, also AW) ten days later; fine effort when fourth in the Old Rowley Cup over C&D (good) in October and had soft-ground excuse on final start of the term; not fully exposed and he's respected on this return. |
5/1 |
|
6 (2) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Eight races; won by 10l at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in August and by 5l without any problems at Lingfield (2m, AW) ten days later; second of six to Blazeon Fine at Ascot (2m, good to soft) and another good effort at Newmarket (good) one week later considering it was a hot race over 1m4f; not proven on soft but back up in trip and may still have improvement in him. |
