15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Can lead; chased home two good ones on his debut at Newbury last April but he hasn't built on that and become expensive to follow; did win three-runner maiden at Lingfield (1m4f) in November but his latest second of six at Southwell (1m3f, also AW) was another reversal for supporters; form chance off same mark but tempting to look elsewhere. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Off the mark at the sixth attempt when beating two rivals in good style in a maiden at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in November but he dropped away up the straight having taken a grip in a handicap at Kempton on his return 17 days ago; needs to build on that. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten over 2m here on stable/hurdle debut in May and ran to just a fair level when placed over that trip on next two outings; however, last year's useful Irish Flat form over middle-distance/staying trips in headgear offers hope he can improve over hurdles now he's upped to 2m4f with a visor refitted; interesting. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Three Flat wins and he's 2-5 over hurdles; competitive in both disciplines since returning from a break and this scenario is ideal for him. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made good start to hurdling career in the autumn, including when going close in a Cheltenham novice (2m4f, good to soft; has won on good ground); reappeared with a creditable third at Plumpton last month and he's feasibly treated on his best Flat form last year, including a sequence of runner-up efforts over staying trips; respected back in this sphere. |

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. |

6th 3 (1) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
An excellent Flat campaign last year yielded three turf wins under Rose Dawes from May to October and he's been in AW/hurdles action this winter; absent 11 weeks but has to be considered seriously. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent since handicapping including a win at Ffos Las (1m6f, soft) just under a year ago; may have needed last month's Salisbury return (1m6f, good), but good to firm ground would be a concern. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Won sole start at two (heavy) and a series of solid efforts from 1m3f to 1m6f last year included win at Ffos Las (1m6f, soft; acts on good) in June; rain would likely increase her chances but still respected on this reappearance. |

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. |

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. |

2nd 6 (2) |
31st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Half-sister to four winners for the stable, notably Pyledriver (7f-1m4f including AW/Group 1; RPR 125); well-held fourth of nine on recent Kempton debut (1m4f, AW) but that was behind some useful rivals and she should know more this time; in the mix. |

Betting Forcast
11/2 Marnier, 16/1 Squire Danagher, 100/30 Percy Shelley, 6/1 Macari, 9/2 Personal Best, 4/1 Double Meaning, 14/1 Trojan Storm, 13/2 Pyleates, 33/1 Free World
Verdict
The unexposed Pyleates, Percy Shelley and Personal Best (second choice) each have something to recommend them but this looks a good opportunity for DOUBLE MEANING to resume winning ways. His reappearance effort at Newmarket was promising and today’s extra yardage looks a major plus point.[Paul Smith]
