21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won first two races this year, the second a 1m3f handicap here by 5l (good); mixed form since (faced a stiff task last time); each-way chance. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
A gelding operation saw him improve to win a pair of 1m3f handicaps in the spring, and following a blip he was back in form when third at Ripon (1m4f, good) on Saturday; that may suggest he's plateaued for now but he can't be readily dismissed. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but prior to that he was 2-2 since being gelded, with convincing wins at Southwell (1m3f, AW) and Hamilton (1m3f, good); could bounce back. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
2-11 for the Gosdens, whom he left after winning at Sandown (1m6f, good; in regular cheekpieces); later bought for 77,000gns and did well at the Shergar Cup (2m, good to firm) given he pulled hard early; effective on good to soft (unraced on slower). |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
2-11 for the Gosdens, scoring for the first time on turf when leading late on at Sandown a month ago (1m6f, good; in regular cheekpieces); later bought for 77,000gns; tackles a new trip here and might well have more to offer; good to firm seems fine. |

1st 3 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Record is only 1-10, the success in AW maiden; however, shaped well in C&D handicap (good) most recently, staying on for third place in his first attempt beyond 1m4f; possibilities off current mark kept to this scenario. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ran poorly last time, taking turf record to 0-6; broadly consistent on AW otherwise for current yard and he is 2-2 over C&D, the wins gained last autumn; 3-8 overall in this sphere; likely to be played late by Jamie Spencer (up for first time) and has possibilities back here. |
9/2 |
|
9th 8 (1) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Headgear helped on AW last September-December, including for 1m6f/2m hat-trick; peak form was not repeated this year, including in two small fields this spring but they were at 1m3f/1m4f; returning to 2m should be a big help but none of his turf form (five races) approaches this mark. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Headgear helped last autumn, with him landing a hat-trick, including two over 2m round Southwell, latterly off a 4lb lower mark; solid effort there last Thursday, back from a few months off (1m3f), but he'll want a similarly strong pace this evening. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two 1m4f wins at Lingfield (AW) this year; he has run creditably in defeat off this mark on his last four starts but he will need extra to overcome it; untried on slower than good to soft. |
16/1 |
|
4th 3 (12) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Two wins this year over 1m4f on Lingfield Polytrack, dictating the pace on second occasion; good third at Kempton (also 1m4f on Polytrack) on latest start, which gives him each-way claims if it's transferred to Tapeta. |
11/2 |

3rd 6 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Two wins from six starts since joining Hayley Burton, both over 1m4f on Lingfield Polytrack; dictated the pace on second occasion and he's not been in quite such good form on either start since, albeit with 2m looking a stretch on latest; probably on the premises. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Mostly campaigned over middle distances but the recent drop to 7f has been the making of him; surged clear under Oisin Murphy to win over C&D (good to firm; unraced on softer than good) three weeks ago and a 9lb rise looks fully justified; thriving and needs taking seriously once more. |
15/8 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Made it 11th time lucky when seeing off three rivals at Lingfield (7.5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but the majority of those starts have been over 1m2f+ so he is unexposed over this sort of trip; Oisin Murphy also has a very good record for the stable. |
11/4 |

1st 3 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
0-10 although he did 'win' at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm; demoted for interference) last August; best run since when second to Classic Encounter at Redcar (1m, good to firm; first-time visor) when last seen in May; gets a weights pull and a form case can be made. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
AW maiden winner for Peter Chapple-Hyam last term but it was an inauspicious start for this yard when suffering two heavy defeats in the spring; possibly flattered when fourth of six at Chester (10.5f, soft) four weeks ago but she's not handicapped out of this if that signals a revival in fortunes; first try at this trip (sister to a Grade 3 1m4f winner). |
25/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Signed off for Peter Chapple-Hyam with a breakthrough win at Chelsmsford (1m2f) in August; off eight months and has failed to beat a rival in handicaps at Southwell (1m3f) and Ascot (1m2f) this spring though. |
20/1 |
|
9th 3 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
1m2f AW maiden winner last August on her final start for Peter Chapple-Hyam but always behind in 1m3f Southwell handicap on her recent return for Ian Williams; can only be watched after that. |
