Winning 2yo debut was followed by a stout effort in a Group 3 over C&D (also good to firm) when leading from some way out and looked like holding on but couldn't quite sustain her effort; has rarely had her ground since but she ran well against an improver on AW (7f) in October on final start for the Crisfords; sold for 150,000gns; she might well have a good 4yo season.

Slow start to 2026 but there was more encouragement with his fourth of ten at Ascot on Friday (6f, good; well backed); he will need to step up again to take this but it is not out of the question.
Turf winner (5f, good) in Ireland who scored at Southwell (6f, AW) on his stable debut in November; that 40-1 success hasn't been built on but this represents a drop back in grade; not confidently ruled out.

Has done really well front-running over 7f on the AW for new yard, winning all three starts; has more to prove up another 5lb and dropped to 6f on the return to turf but he's perfectly capable of giving it a good shot on grass, having run well under a penalty in a good novice at Doncaster last spring.

First three French wins came at about 1m but better form when winning a Listed race at about 5f last April; took time to find his feet for this yard but he couldn't get out of a scrum at Goodwood (6f, good) in October and ran well for a long way on Newcastle AW last month; the likely strong pace will suit and he has a good run in him.

Ran well on C&D return in 2025 before winning his next two over 6f, at Leicester (good to firm; made all) and York; his form took a downward turn after but his recent Newbury fourth was a step in the right direction and he's only 2lb higher than for the York win; looks good for a prominent show.

Low-mileage 5yo who has gained both wins (7f/1m) on good to firm; grabbed third place on line over 6f for an encouraging reappearance effort and looks interesting back up in distance, with further improvement still a possibility.

Hit the handicap heights when winning the Wokingham over C&D in 2023 on debut for Archie Watson, then close up in the Group 1 Maurice de Gheest; desperately hard to place in handicaps since but he's had wind surgery since last seen in October and, even at this late stage, he might well turn it on for Kevin Ryan off a 17lb lower mark than at the start of last year.

Proved somewhat resurgent at Ascot last week in third start for Charlie Pike and may build on that effort; only 1lb above last winning mark and can't be ruled out.

Had a good season for new yard in 2025, winning on second start and running two excellent races at Ripon when returned to 6f, notably when first home on his side in the Great St Wilfrid (good to firm) in August; confirmed his liking for that course when winning there three weeks ago and needs to prove he's the same horse elsewhere.

Hucklesbrook owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (58) and market confidence (77). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.
