4th 5 (2) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 4yo from top yard; headstrong up front in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f) last June and also failed to settle when held up in York Group 3 (1m1f) last August on his only subsequent start; returns to 1m for reappearance but whether he's calmed down after being gelded may be the key. |

8th 6 (2) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Two novice wins from his first three starts (1m, AW/good to firm), with a close Listed second at Newcastle (1m, AW) in between; down the field in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f, good to soft) in June when last seen and could do with settling better, but this unexposed 3yo retains potential for his top yard now back down in trip and in grade; possible player. |
5/1 |

9st 10lb |
Impressive win on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in December and beaten just a neck in Listed race at Newcastle (1m, AW) on last month's reappearance; stable has won the last two runnings; leading form claims even under penalty. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat for Andrew Balding; made inauspicious start to hurdling career last season but his close third on handicap debut at Plumpton (2m, good) five weeks ago was much better, and he may yet transfer more of that Flat ability to hurdling. |

3rd 8 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
A fair 1m2f Flat winner for Andrew Balding; yet to show any form of note in three juvenile hurdles this winter though and needs this switch to handicap company to yield major progress. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |

Beaten when falling late on at Kempton two weeks ago and before that was tailed off behind Maestro Conti; worthy outsider. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All starts on AW; sole start at 2m resulted in short-priced flop at Chelmsford in November; won at that track (1m6f) next time but he let favourite backers down again when beating one home over that trip at Wolverhampton in March; 1m4f caught him out last time but others look safer. |
12/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Helped set the race up for the closers when favourite here last time, having previously won easily over 1m6f round Chelmsford; now has to prove his revised mark is within range coming back down in trip. |
6/1 |
|
7th 5 (4) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
3-6 in AW handicaps, his latest win a convincing success at Chelmsford (1m6f, Polytrack) in January; raised 8lb for that but still hard to rule out. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Unable to land a telling blow when favourite here (6f) this month but was close third off much-reduced mark here two starts ago and ought to be suited by today's return to 7f; tongue-tie removed after one use; it might pay to give him another chance. |
9/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lost his way last year after a spring win for Eve Johnson Houghton off 13lb higher; well supported ahead of his C&D comeback in February, when faring much better off this mark, and is one to consider in a first-time tongue-tie for a yard going well of late. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Quite impressive when winning over 6f at Wolverhampton last spring; mixed efforts since but he's been running over an inadequate 5f for this yard, dropping 15lb in the process; might do much better back at 6f. |

4th Dec 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
400,000gns yearling; Dubawi gelding; the only progeny of 1,000 Guineas winner Billesdon Brook who sadly died at the age of seven; likely type, particularly if market vibes are positive. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Successful in May in a novice at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) and in taking style on handicap/turf debut at Haydock (1m4f, good); creditable third of eight, again from off the pace, in valuable contest at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago, which offers the prospect of further progress back at 1m4f. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Made it third-time lucky when winning Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) in May and he followed up on handicap/turf debut at Haydock (1m4f, good) four weeks later; that latest form has taken some knocks but he scored in good style from off the steady pace and is open to more improvement; respected up 7lb. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 175y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All three runs on Polytrack, improving to win 11-runner novice at Chelmsford (1m2f) on reappearance in clearcut fashion with the front two clear; turf debut asks a question but he's likely to stay and looks a promising handicap debutant. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded before winning at Windsor (good to firm) last May and finished that season with further wins at Sandown (also 1m, soft) and Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm); on the premises when he suffered chance-ending interference at Newbury last time and this tactically versatile sort is well drawn to sit handy; interesting. |
13/2 |

5th 13 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won three of his seven handicaps (1m-1m1f) last term, including the last two; just fourth of 13 to Spanish Voice when favourite at Newmarket on reappearance but that was respectable; player on peak 2025 effort. |
10/1 |

4th 3 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
On a roll when last seen, winning at Sandown (1m, soft) and on this course (1m1f, good to firm) in second half of last season; that form looks solid and he's been nudged up only 3lb for the second success; leading claims if ready to roll after seven months off. |

Bred to be useful, but ran green when ninth of 13 on his Kempton debut (1m, Polytrack; 15-2) last month (Shipshape filled the same position in the other division); could leave that form well behind but will need to. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent for William Haggas and he made all to land Leicester novice (1m2f, good to firm) in July; signed off for that yard with creditable third of 19 at York (10.5f, good; not clear run) off this mark in October; secured for 140,000gns a fortnight later and subsequently gelded; a player on stable debut/reappearance. |
11/2 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't need to improve on previous efforts when landing odds of 2-9 in a Leicester novice (1m2f, good to firm) in July, but has been well held in both handicaps since including when behind Dark Moon Rising over this C&D (good) last month; needs a turnaround. |

7th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |

Kingman colt; his breakthrough win had been coming but he was weak in the market on handicap debut at Hamilton (1m1f, good) and could finish only fifth to Danger Bay; probably capable of better but that effort tempers enthusiasm. |

Close fourth on handicap debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in June and this headstrong sort benefited from the drop in trip to make all at Haydock (7f, good) last time; unexposed and could take a 4lb rise in his stride. |
