27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
0-7 since winning debut but has been set some stiff tasks and there was enough promise in her last-time-out fourth (1m3f, here) to suggest she could soon double her tally; hood retained; market informative on return. |

Really encouraging fourth behind the subsequent 1,000 Guineas winner in last year's May Hill at Doncaster (1m, good) one year ago is starting to fade from the memory and she's beaten a total of two horses in three starts this year; needs to turn the ship around. |

Proved expensive to follow for James Owen on AW over the winter and he was tailed off back on turf here (1m2f, good) in April; down in the weights but he has a point to prove on his first run for Hayley Burton (same owner). |

9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner whose three appearances here have yielded two wins (7f and 1m) back in 2022/2023; also finished runner-up in this race (good to firm) in 2024 and he was back on track when fairly close third of four at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; winner and second have won subsequently and he warrants consideration. |

Dipped into Class 5 company at Newcastle in March and won comfortably (extended 1m4f); two disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove; has run well in two course visits, at least. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Made all in a novice at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft) in August; that looked promising but she was soundly beaten in Listed event at York (1m4f, good to firm; 8-1) and last of six when 5-4 favourite on handicap debut at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft); those give cause for concern. |

Thrice-raced filly who was soundly beaten in 1m4f Listed event at the York Ebor festival most recently; made all at Newmarket (1m2f, good to soft) earlier in August and may still have more to offer; respected back down in trip/class. |

11st 4lb |
0-5 over hurdles for Seamus Mullins but made the frame in two good-ground handicaps for him this spring (2m/2m1f); has refitted cheekpieces and Sean Bowen enlisted for this stable debut (same owner); interesting. |
9/2 |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat for Andrew Balding; made inauspicious start to hurdling career last season but his close third on handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, good) five weeks ago was much better, and he may yet transfer more of that Flat ability to hurdling. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |

A fair 1m2f Flat winner for Andrew Balding; yet to show any form of note in three juvenile hurdles this winter though and needs this switch to handicap company to yield major progress. |

Won a Goodwood maiden (1m2f, good to firm) on debut for the Gosdens; creditable efforts on turf and AW following that; purchased for 20,000gns in December; decent sixth of 16 at Gowran (1m4f, yielding) on seasonal return when behind the stable first string; Foley rides now in a first-time hood trying this trip for the first time. |

Multiple winner in this code at up to 1m4f, including on fast ground; usually held up; has had four starts from 1m-1m2f since a break, running reasonably consistently in defeat; drops 2lb and back again in grade; player. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Creditable third off 9lb higher over C&D on soft ground (acts on good to firm) last September in his only Epsom race; AW campaign in the winter for new yard did not go at all well until he perked up a bit in February on his last two outings; needs to build on that after his break but he's too well handicapped to be ignored. |

4th 4 (1) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Struggled early on for this yard (at huge prices) but he was dropped into a Class 6 at Wolverhampton (1m4f) 12 days ago, backed into 11-8 favouritism and duly returned to form, finding only an in-form rival too good; 1lb rise not an issue given what he was capable of last year; key player. |

2nd 2 (8) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Two wins (1m2f/1m4f) in 2025 for previous yard, but he's raced in the rear and stayed there in all five runs for this trainer; on dangerous mark on this drop back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

Changed hands for 9,000gns after winning at Wolverhampton last summer (9.4f; left Kevin Philippart De Foy); low-key stable debut over 1m3f here in November (33-1) and this might not be enough of a test back from another break. |

Resurgent 8yo who has rattled off a hat-trick on AW this spring including a clearcut win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; this is tougher off 9lb higher but he remains feasibly treated on his old form and is a five-time winner on turf; key player. |

Has a patchy profile but he justified support when bouncing back with a strong-finishing win here (1m4f) last month; up 4lb but that was a cosy success and the form has been boosted by the runner-up since; interesting contender. |

Won a 1m novice at Kempton in September 2023 but 0-10 in handicaps since; did catch the eye when third at Kempton (1m3f) back on AW in November but hasn't built on it twice since, finishing remote third at Chelmsford (1m6f) latterly; the return to 1m4f may help but others are more convincing. |

Verdict
Just Keep Flying cost favourite backers on her last two starts but still got seriously involved and she’s had only three races all told. She could still have potential and and stands out in that respect. However, HINCHINBROOKE has been back to form recently, including over C&D, and this could be where Jane Chapple-Hyam’s 3yo gets off the mark. Hebridean Nomad is an interesting each-way option off his reduced mark and with a drop back in trip.[Richard Austen]
