Form profile

Winner of seven of his 32 starts and currently rated 76 on the Flat, 127 over hurdles and 119 over fences. Finished runner-up, beaten three quarters of a length, to Danni California when last seen out on the Flat for Fergal O’Brien at York (2m 1/2f) in July of last year off a mark of 77.

Trainer says

He is a new horse to us who makes his debut for us at Ffos Las on Tuesday. Judging on how he goes we will make a decision going forward.

Form profile

Winner of five of his 31 starts and currently rated 82. Completed a hat-trick when scoring by a length and a half from Cold Henry at Pontefract (2m 2f) in June off a mark of 76. Finished only eighth, beaten six lengths, to La Hacienda at Newcastle (2m 1/2f) at Newcastle in July off a mark of 77.

Trainer says

Blow Your Horn has had a great season winning three times in June and then probably went to the well once too often when running in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle. He didn’t run too badly but certainly didn’t fire that day. He was due to run at Haydock last Saturday, but the ground was very tacky and that really wouldn’t suit. We will hang onto him for Sandown in a week’s time when he has the opportunity win a share of a £100,000 bonus if he is able to win a third Sunday Series race of the season.

Form profile

Winner of seven of his 34 stats and currently rated 94 over hurdles and 85 on the Flat. Finished fifth, beaten seven and a quarter lengths, to Good Impression in a handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot on his latest outing in June off a mark of 95.

Trainer says

Buxted Too has just come back in after a short break. He won five and one of the all-weather bonuses during the winter. He has had a break and will probably come back, whilst not badly handicapped on the Flat, he will come back over hurdles.

Form profile

No wins from 4 starts and currently rated 55. Finished runner-up, beaten a neck, to Black Smoke at Lingfield (1m 2f) on Saturday.

Trainer says

She is certainly a lesser light as it stands but she ran a really nice race at Lingfield in defeat in her first handicap last weekend. She will go up a couple of pounds but will hopefully keep on improving and will stay further. Her best form has been on soft ground, but she will equally act on good ground as well.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 12 starts and currently rated 73. Finished fifth, beaten six lengths, to Croeso Cymraeg at Salisbury (1m 4f) in July off a mark of 74.

Trainer says

He put in a good performance to win at Pontefract in June and his last couple of runs have been on ground that is probably too soft for him although his run in defeat at Salisbury probably wasn’t a bad run at all. He will be better on better ground and will be seen to better effect over further, but it is teetering on this handicap mark/ability.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 28 starts and currently rated 70. Finished fifth, beaten a length and a quarter, to Achillea at Yarmouth (1m) in July off a mark of 71.

Trainer says

He has yet to win this season but is well enough handicapped to win when things fall right for him. He was a bit unlucky at Chester on his start before last and then had the same misfortune of running into a few at Yarmouth on his last start. He is in good form with himself and is capable of winning when things fall right probably over a trip of a mile on easy ground.

Form profile

Winner of five of his 23 starts and currently rated 90. Returned to winning form on his latest start at Chester (1m 3 1/2f) in July when beating Box To Box two and a half lengths off a mark of 85.

Trainer says

He has been a revelation this year and he came out of Jamie Osborne’s last autumn off a mark of 64 and has won five times during the winter and beyond. It has given his owner Paul Farrell a lot of fun with his first horse, and he continues on a handy mark. He is a possible for the Shergar Cup meeting at Ascot on Saturday.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 28 starts and currently rated 92. Better effort this season on his reappearance at Kempton (2m) in March when fifth, beaten five and three quarter lengths, to Golden Rules off a mark of 84.

Trainer says

He was a real reliable performer the season before last but we have had nothing but problems and he wasn’t able to make his trip to Dubai this year due to colic. It has been a struggle since he came back with little sinus problems that have been niggling him. He is going in the right direction at the moment, and he may reappear at the Shergar Cup meeting on Saturday but would want fast ground.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 25 starts and currently rated 109. Finished last of 11, beaten 36 lengths, to Quickthorn in the Goodwood Cup at Goodwood (2m) on Tuesday.

Trainer says

He has been a hell of a horse for the stable and won in Dubai and finished second in a Red Sea Handicap in Riyadh in February. He hasn’t been seen at his best since but there were relative excuses for all of them and he will now be aimed at the Ebor and then we will see what happens after.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 34 starts and currently rated 87. Best effort this season on his latest start at Yarmouth (1m 6f) in July when runner-up, beaten half a length, to Alnilam off a mark of 85.

Trainer says

Haliphon struggled in the early part of the season and then showed he was on the way back with a half-length second in the Racing League at Yarmouth recently over a mile and six which is his ideal trip on decent ground. He has been put up 2lb for that performance, but he still looks competitive on some of the things he did last season. He is a very straightforward horse and great fun for his owners Ne-Chance Racing. He is sure to trouble the judge again during the coming months.

Form profile

Winner of nine of his 36 starts and currently rated 83. Finished runner-up, beaten two and a half lengths, to First Emperor when last seen out at Goodwood (2m) in May off a mark of 82.

Trainer says

It was really disappointing to miss the two mile five handicap at Goodwood last week with Hydroplane as easy ground would have really suited him but he picked up a small knock. As soon as the heals up we will be back on the go with him, and we will be heading towards one or two of the staying handicaps between now and the end of the season.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 16 starts and currently rated 77. Gained his last success at Doncaster (2m 1/2f) in April when beating Cogital nine and a half lengths off a mark of 72. Finished ninth, beaten seven and a half lengths, to Zimmerman at Haydock (2m) on Sunday.

Trainer says

He ran below par in the Sunday Series at Haydock, and he loves soft ground but it was really tacky and particularly horrible. He won earlier in the season but got hammered by the handicapper and he is in good form and I’m sure he will get his head in front but on slow ground that isn’t too tacky.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 14 starts and currently rated 93. Finished 12th, beaten 43 lengths, to Temporize in a handicap at Goodwood (2m 4 1/2f) on Friday off a mark of 93.

Trainer says

He ran a huge race on his first start for us in the Chester Cup when finishing fourth to Metier after pulling for a long way. He went on and ran well at Ascot but disappointed at Goodwood on Friday on slow ground which we thought he would like. We think that his palate probably bothered him that day and if we can sort that out then I’m sure he is the right sort of horse for the Cesarewitch at the end of the year. He is entered in the Shergar Cup on Saturday and could make a quick reappearance on the better ground.”

Form profile

Winner of seven of her 23 starts and currently rated 81 and 120 over jumps. Best most recent effort when runner-up, beaten three lengths, to Robert Johnson at York (2m 1/2f) in July off a mark of 80.

Trainer says

She has been unlucky not to win on the Flat this season having finished placed in three of her four starts. She is probably at the top of her handicap mark but didn’t run well on the tacky ground at Ascot last time and can be seen to good effect on decent ground when she gets the opportunity over the coming months.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 15 starts and currently rated 89. Gained his last success at Ascot (1m 4f) in July when scoring by a neck from La Yakel off a mark of 85.

Trainer says

He bounced back to winning form in a decent handicap at Ascot and is another who didn’t enjoy the tacky ground at Ascot last time. He is engaged in the Shergar Cup at the weekend.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 2 starts and currently rated 85. Finished runner-up, beaten a neck, to Laugh Tale in a novice event at Kempton (1m) in February 2022 when trained by Charlie Appleby.

Trainer says

He is an ex-Godolphin horse that won one and was runner-up in his other start and has had issues that kept him off the track. I was anxious that we gave him the time that he needed and took him along steady, and he is now getting to the stage where he is ready to run. He has the most likeable pedigree and is obviously lightly raced. From what we see at home there is plenty to come.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 16 starts and currently rated 98. Finished 11th, beaten 10 lengths, to Perotto in a handicap at Sandown (1m) in July off a mark of 99.

Trainer says

He is quite an exciting horse, and we are looking forward to taking him abroad during the Winter. In the meantime, he has an engagement in the Racing League at Chepstow on Thursday or Ascot on Saturday. He is a straightforward horse, and he ran very well at Ascot on his first start for us then got into all sorts of trouble at Sandown. He was totally blocked out in the final furlong, but he would have run tidily if he had been able to do so.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 35 starts and currently rated 96. Finished 23rd, beaten 18 lengths, to Baradar at Ascot (7f) in July off a mark of 98.

Trainer says

He ran a couple of huge races in Dubai but has been unfortunate since his return and his last race at Ascot was a shocker. He never got any cover, and he is engaged in Racing League on Thursday and at Newmarket on Saturday over seven furlongs. He will take up whatever is the best option and is now looking off a dangerous mark.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 19 starts and currently rated 83 on the Flat and 98 over hurdles. Returned to winning form on his latest start at Sandown (1m 6f) in July when beating Bunker Bay two and a quarter lengths off a mark of 79.

Trainer says

He delighted me with his win at Sandown even though I thought the ground was too soft for him. He has been crying out for a trip and the further he goes the better he goes which would lead me to believe he is quite fairly handicapped. You would have to be excited what he may do over hurdles off a mark of 98 running over two miles and a step up in trip might be quite exciting for him.

Form profile

Winner of five of 38 and currently rated 95. Finished fifth, beaten eighth and a half lengths, to Temporize at Goodwood (2m 4 1/2f) on Friday.

Trainer says

He ran another huge race at Goodwood although he didn’t get a particularly great start from a standing start, and he ended up behind and made up an awful lot of ground turning for home and coming down the hill. He wasn’t close enough but his run at Ascot over two miles and five was amazing. He has been around for a long time and won us the Ascot Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2019 and we are always delighted to have him around.

Form profile

Winner of two of her 15 starts and currently rated 71. Returned to winning form when scoring by half a length from Ready To Shine in a fillies’ handicap at Haydock (1m 3 1/2f) in July off a mark of 67.

Trainer says

She managed to get her head in front at Haydock quite readily which was nice to see. She has a problem with her tummy at the end of last month and must have picked something up, but she is back bright and breezy and I think she is capable of going on over a mile and a half and winning further races during the autumn on ground with a little cut in it.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 10 starts and currently rated 81. Finished fourth, beaten three and three quarter lengths, to Farhh To Shy at Yarmouth (7f) in July off a mark of 82.

Trainer says

Yantarni ran a nice race in defeat last time in the Racing League at Yarmouth and is likely to go again in the Racing League over a furlong further at Chepstow on Thursday. He has been crying out for a mile and I am sure he will run well.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 9 races and currently rated 92. Made a successful stable debut at Chester (2m 2 1/2f) in May when scoring by two and a quarter lengths from Novel Legend off a mark of 84. Disappointing in two outings since.

Trainer says

He ran a blinder first time out for us when winning at Chester after over 500 days off. His target will be primarily be the Cesarewitch as he does want some cut. We did take him to Galway but that backfired having been very prominent with him and the prominent runners just didn’t get home. He is better than that and he is entered in the Shergar Cup at the weekend.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 9 starts and currently rated 78. Finished third, beaten two and a quarter lengths, to Balance Play at Goodwood (1m 3f) on Friday.

Trainer says

He won nicely at Haydock earlier in the year and then lost his way a little. His last two starts have been right back up there and his third at Glorious Goodwood was very encouraging. I don’t know if we can turn him around quickly enough to run in the Racing League, but he is a three-year-old progressing in the right direction and he loves a bit of cut in the ground. He has the size to go hurdling as and when required.

Form profile

Winner of five of his 11 starts and currently rated 81. Completed a hat-trick when beating Bosc Girl a length and a quarter at Doncaster (1m 2f) in July off a mark of 75.

Trainer says

He has been a revelation this year and has won five of his ten starts. He is entered in the Racing League and the Shergar Cup and going over a mile and a half for the first time at Ascot would be the preference. He is not overly big but has the heart of a lion. He can do no more than achieving what he has done, and we look forward to seeing how he goes this week.

Form profile

No wins from 4 starts and currently rated 74. Finished runner-up, beaten three quarters of a length, to Squeezebox at Newmarket (1m 2f) in July off a mark of 71.

Trainer says

He ran very well on his first run in a handicap at Newmarket when finishing second and looking a little inexperienced that day. He has an engagement in the Racing League on Thursday which will be quite tough, but he is the type of horse to improve and step on.

Form profile

Placed in two of his 5 starts and currently rated 64. Finished runner-up, beaten a length and a half, to Surrey Charm on latest start at Chepstow (1m 2f) in July off a mark of 62.

Trainer says

He won at Windsor on Monday night and I thought he should be there or thereabouts. He came up against a horse that was starting off a low mark and had changed stables at Chepstow. He is on the upgrade as he has very little experience and will improve for racing and stepping up in trip.
