2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Went close at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) last July but well beaten in C&D Cambridgeshire in September; failed to settle and suffered interference on return, doing pretty well in the circumstances, but disappointing favourite at Pontefract 11 days ago; connections turn to cheekpieces. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive in last year's 3yo campaign, going close at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) in July; did pretty well to finish sixth on last month's return at Kempton (1m3f, AW) where he failed to settle and suffered interference; that run may have got the freshness out of him; on the shortlist. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Dual AW winner early in career; ran well for most of 2025 and his form peaked when he went close at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f) in July; not beaten far at York next time but he comprehensively failed to live up to his market prominence in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket on final outing (his first race since gelded); no way does that rule him out today. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Enjoyed a very good 2025 (three-time 9.5f to 1m4f winner) and he signed off with a good sixth in 1m6f Ascot listed race in October when set a lot to do; hood goes on and can't be ruled out on his seasonal return. |
6/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Moving up to 1m4f brought handicap wins at Newbury (1m4f, good; unraced on softer) and Newcastle (AW; impressive) this summer; creditable third in hat-trick bid in a strong handicap at Haydock (1m6f) four weeks ago; needs to resume his improvement but has a place chance. |
14/1 |
|
2 (4) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Improved for the step up to 1m4f to win at Newbury in June (1m4f, good; unraced on softer) and subsequently demolished what looked a competitive Racing League handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, AW); hit with 11lb rise for last time but could take it in his stride over a trip that promises to suit. |

Third over C&D on his 2yo debut in December, albeit well beaten by the front two; no progress at Chelmsford 16 days later and absent for 312 days; gelded during his absence; makes stable debut (same owner) at a realistic level; can do better. |

Beaten a long way all four starts for this yard, last two following wind surgery; headgear (blinkers, worn alone for the first time) returns. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won 7f handicaps at Wolverhampton and Newcastle for George Boughey early last year, but three starts since returning for this yard in October have been blowouts; no headgear today and probably only of interest if backed. |

Won twice over 7f when trained by George Boughey; well beaten in two runs for new connections and only dropped 1lb for his troubles; has had a wind op since latest but not easily recommended. |

0-11 (hurdles/Flat); well held at Lingfield (1m5f, good) on her debut for this yard last August and it was the same story in four starts over hurdles; pulled up at Fakenham when last seen 138 days ago and others are preferred. |

25-1 when winning off 5lb lower on handicap debut at Southwell over 6f in January following three quick runs over longer trips; failed to match that level in two further 6f starts and has left Eve Johnson Houghton (changed hands); back up in trip; best watched. |

25-1 when making a successful handicap debut at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month but having been raised 6lb she disappointed at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; each-way claims if helped by the return to Tapeta. |

9st 2lb |
Won by 22l on hurdling debut for Lemos de Souza at Market Rasen (2m, good) in June but the value of that form is open to question and both subsequent runs for Jessica Bedi (Flat/hurdle) were disappointing; has had wind surgery but she's 0-7 on that Flat and looks opposable back in this sphere. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Regressive gelding who's lacked consistency of late, including in two forms of headgear; having a first crack at beyond 1m4f and needs to improve for the stiffer test. |
20/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |

Patchy form since gaining his sole success here (1m) 13 months ago, but has run well on a couple of occasions over middle-distances on this track during that period; each-way claims if producing his best. |

7th 7 (1) |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Off the mark when winning at Brighton (6f, good; first-time hood) in August; hood removed when coming home nicely to make a winning return from a three-month break at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in January and has been off again since; leaves the impression the step back up to 1m will prove no issue. |
5/1 |
|
7th 9 (9) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Improved since being gelded, finishing second in successive turf starts before winning at Brighton (6f, good; first-time hood) in August; well below par when upped to 1m at Chelmsford (Polytrack) latest; still has a bit to prove on this surface but could have a say. |
9/2 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Does not help himself by racing too freely but kept on strongly from off the pace to win quite cosily in the end at Brighton (6f, good; first-time hood) six weeks ago; could easily have more to offer if return to 1m suits. |
