30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Pulled up over hurdles on final two runs for Ben Pauling but he won his two previous Flat races when trained in Ireland and belatedly completed a hat-trick when coming from last to first despite steady fractions in a 1m6f handicap at Sandown in June (good); raised a fair 5lb; showed some early promise on slow ground. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Four AW wins in Ireland in 2024 (10.7f-1m4f), all in blinkers; modest hurdle form for Ben Pauling in 2025; makes his stable debut after 205 days off and he goes without headgear. |

3rd 8 (5) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
First two wins were on soft and heavy; has improved with each run this term, last time dealing with fast ground to beat Knight Templar at Sandown (1m6f); a 3lb rise isn't too damaging and she's hard to knock. |
9/2 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ground this fast is a nagging concern but she's building up some momentum this season and was nailed late on over C&D 41 days ago; only had the 12 races and she's consistent. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Her best form has come on slower than good and she looks on a fair mark when granted such conditions; latest Newbury third (2m, good to firm) was a good effort as she was keeping on well before being hampered by the winner 120 yards from home; each-way claims despite the likely drying conditions. |

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). |
10/1 |

6th 7 (4) |
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. |
8/1 |

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. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Now 1lb lower than for his Ascot win last summer (1m6f, good to firm) but that is a result of some modest efforts this year, including when back over more suitable trips on his last three starts; others look safer. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice last year, notably a 1m6f handicap at Ascot in July off a 1lb lower mark; well held in five starts since December but this trip more suitable than those he has been tackling and the return of the tongue tie could help; betting should be revealing. |
12/1 |
|
10th 5 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins last year, but hasn't beaten many in four starts over 1m-2m on the AW since returning from over five months off in December; slipping back down the weights, but probably best watched for now; stable also runs Vaguely Royal. |

10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1m6f and 2m wins on the AW last season and by clear daylight; excellent third at Newmarket (1m4f) after a break and it wasn't a bad run at Sandown (1m6f) where he hung in the closing stages; could be a factor if bringing his best game. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
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. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
His last Flat win came in France in 2022 but he won over hurdles last autumn and was a clear second of five to stablemate High Fibre in this code at Newmarket (2m, good to firm) last month; probably versatile ground-wise and holds each-way possibilities. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Hasn't scored under this code since his French days in 2022 but looks interesting with usual visor removed, having gained all wins (Flat/hurdles) without headgear; yard also runs High Fibre. |
13/2 |
|
6th 3 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Runner-up (albeit no match for winner) off today's mark at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in May and didn't run badly on the Flat (1m6f) last month; could yet have a bigger effort in him over jumps but this drop back in trip may not be in his favour. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 109y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
0-6 but she ran her best race so far when close second in a Sandown handicap (1m6f, good) two weeks ago; has shaped as though this step up to 2m should be fine and she's strongly respected off only 1lb higher than last time. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Five-race maiden who was hindered by traffic issues over C&D (behind Marnier) most recently; has encouraging form otherwise and is bred to do better still, being a half-sister to three winners (including Group 1) for her connections; shortlisted. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
Half-sister to connections' top-class Pyledriver; promise in four runs at 1m4f, including her handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month, and this trip should suit even better; more to come but this is a rise in class. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Creditable second in small field on penultimate start; successful over C&D (off 2lb lower) last July but wasn't in the same form returned to this scenario (behind two of today's rivals) in latest outing. |
14/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Four Flat wins to his name, including over C&D, and he was second of four at Lingfield 18 days ago (1m6f, good); should run his race but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins last year including one over hurdles and two over this trip on the Flat; just 2lb above his last winning mark, but needs to put a tame effort at Nottingham (1m6f, good) last month behind him. |
