5th 5 (2) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Has gained both wins on AW and she did well to finish third, in difficult circumstances, at Kempton (1m2f Listed) on reappearance; ties in with Devil's Advocate on that bare form but isn't guaranteed to find the required further improvement back on turf. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Unexposed mare who is 2-4 on the AW and was last seen finishing second of 13 in a Chantilly Listed contest (10.5f, soft) last July; makes her debut for her new trainer (same owner) after 260 days off but not dismissed completely if returning in the same form. |
12/1 |

4th 11 (12) |
18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Maiden/novice winner who improved again when fourth of ten in 1m Kempton Listed race (AW) in March; not in the same form when seventh of nine in a Listed event Goodwood (turf debut) since; not obviously well treated for this handicap debut. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 0-8 since debut win but a quintet of second-place finishes (1m-1m2f, AW/turf) reflect broadly consistent form; seemingly outstayed over 1m4f at Leicester when last seen; useful in terms of ability and may yet double his tally. |
9/2 |
|
4th 1 (9) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Only 1-8 and slightly concerning that he's been runner-up five times, though it was bordering on career-best form last time at Doncaster (1m2f, soft; fine on good); should be in the thick of it. |
11/2 |
|
3 (2) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Bar a blip on fast ground at York in June his profile is essentially progressive, including clear second to a next-time-out winner at Newbury (1m2f, good) in May; shaped much better than result when never-nearer sixth of ten at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last time, left with too much to do after meeting trouble early in the home straight; could still be on a good mark. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Showed promise in three AW novice events when with Andrew Balding; has finished last on both starts for this trainer (1m and 1m3f, both AW); drops another 5lb but we need to see more before he can be recommended. |
33/1 |
|
13th 4 (1) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Showed promise in three AW novices for Andrew Balding last winter including over this C&D, but having been gelded he finished last of seven on stable/handicap debut at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) 15 days ago; may have needed it, but still has enough to prove. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Showed plenty in three starts on AW for Andrew Balding, including when third of 12 behind two useful types at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in February; bought for 7,500gns since and gelded; hood added for handicap/yard debut; interesting contender. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
No wins in nine but he's admirably consistent and again hit the frame over a bit further here a month ago; looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims once more. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Eight-race maiden who has been beaten as favourite in four of his five handicaps but he found improvement when a close third over C&D last month; up 3lb but that latest run was a Racing League event and he pulled 4l clear of the fourth; key player. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 10 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |

4yo who is 0-7 and has been a beaten favourite in all four handicaps; however, he's still run good races and may take a step forward at some point. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Patchy form of late, his easy win at Haydock (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in July flanked by modest efforts on the AW (has run well on Tapeta); not sure what to expect. |
16/1 |
|
8th 2 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt with a convincing success at Haydock (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in July; up 7lb and will need to show he can also do it back on the AW, but something may have clicked; shortlisted. |
15/8 |
|
6 (6) |
19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent maiden (1m-1m6f) who has the hood refitted, also going in a first-time tongue-tie, having again pulled hard last time; this mark should be within range if settling but therein lies the gamble. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Pulled up over fences latest; good start to her Flat career when second in an admittedly weak novice (9.5f) in January and it was her best run when third on handicap debut (also Wolverhampton, 1m4f) having been ridden prominently; new trip could eke out a bit more. |

18th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Placed on the Flat since winning over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in December and ran quite well when back over hurdles last month; has headgear refitted for this chasing debut but others have more pressing claims. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |

Came from off the pace to win an uncompetitive 1m2f handicap at Ffos Las in July (good ground); never in the hunt at Wolverhampton last month; low mileage but improvement is required. |

8th 4 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Came good at fifth attempt, keeping on well for narrow success in five-runner Ffos Las handicap (1m2f, good) in July; needs to transfer than improvement back to Tapeta but still warrants consideration. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

Some good performances last year as when beaten a short head off this mark over C&D in November; needs to better her two efforts since returning last month, though. |

|
6th 8 (2) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
0-12 in Flat handicaps but she was placed here in November on two occasions (including C&D); behind Shipshape at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on his first start for 131 days but the returning cheekpieces should be a positive. |
16/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-11 in Flat handicaps but bang there on three of her last four starts (2m here and Southwell 1m6f); that puts her firmly in the picture but there is a bit to prove after 131 days off. |

Modest ability in bumpers and over hurdles; tailed off in two AW Flat starts over shorter than this since joining current stable; the longer trip may help but he probably isn't good enough. |
