1st 6 (3) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Broadly progressive on a range of ground in his first season last year, despite being 0-6 after debut success; beaten a neck from off the pace in the St Leger at Doncaster (14.5f, soft) on final start; that makes him one of the form picks in today's field and, although this trip may eventually turn out to be shorter than ideal, he should be a big player. |

2nd 4 (2) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive first five races, finishing bang there with Carmers, Furthur and Scandinavia when third in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot and he came from significantly further back than the first two; that's his only attempt at 1m6f and he took his first backward step when fourth in the storm at Goodwood (1m4f Group 3) on latest outing; that can probably be forgiven but he needs to resume his progress. |

1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Still to add to his debut success (for Karl Burke) but he went desperately close at Chelmsford last month, running on well at the finish; handicap mark left unchanged and he needs serious consideration. |

2nd 2 (3) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Started handicap life for Karl Burke last summer on an unrealistic mark and struggled prior to being picked up for just 2,000gns in the autumn; finding his level now for his current yard and it wouldn't shock were he to pop up here, dropped another 3lb. |

5th 1 (3) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

Won on debut at Newcastle last February but he became disappointing for Karl Burke; hasn't been with current yard for long but he was beaten 9l at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last month and is now 1-9; passed over. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 2 |

Opening Tapeta third in March solid enough but he went backwards from it when well behind Antipodes at Nottingham; goes in first-time blinkers off the back of that and may be one for handicaps after tonight. |

Too Darn Hot colt who made a promising start to his career when third of nine in novice at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March; open to progress three months on with the yard going well. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Has posted two duck eggs since most recent AW success and latest effort took his turf form figures to 370; not particularly solid kept to this sphere and others are preferred. |
14/1 |
|
11th 4 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Mostly in good form on the AW during the winter, winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Kempton (1m); however, he was below par back at Wolverhampton six weeks ago and has something to prove on a rare encounter with turf. |
14/1 |

11th 7 (3) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won stable debut over C&D in December, bang there on next two starts and scored again at Kempton (1m) on latest; did it in clearcut style last time, which has earned him a 5lb rise but he remains one to take seriously. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Six-race maiden on the Flat for Hugo Palmer; has shown promise when placed in both hurdles starts, latest when third of nine finishers at Wetherby (2m, soft) last month; looks sure to make his presence felt. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 10 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-6 on the Flat but displayed ability and there was also promise in last month's hurdle/stable debut at Taunton (2m, good), where he was runner-up to a useful (but sadly ill-fated) prospect; in good hands to progress and he could have a part to play. |
3/1 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Safely held when fifth in first two handicaps, both times over 1m4f on turf; however, last month's Newmarket run came after a break and he might fare better now back on Polytrack and with cheekpieces refitted. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Improved for a step up in trip and then cheekpieces, getting off the mark at Southwell (1m6f) last month and following up at Ripon on Sunday (2m, good); escapes a penalty for that win and today's further rise in distance could spark additional progress; possible he could do with the ground drying out a bit but he's on the up and should make a bold bid to complete his hat-trick. |
2/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Runner-up in four of his first five handicaps before finally cracking it in a four-runner race at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in April; that was in first-time cheekpieces (retained) but by just a nose, leading on the post; stays 2m and he's a player if transferring this year's improvement back to turf. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
0-9, but runner-up in four of his five handicaps including narrow defeats over 1m6f/16.5f here in both starts since returning in January; a player again with cheekpieces given a go. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins from 11 starts; successful on comeback at Kempton (1m4f, AW; made all) in April and again ran well when second at Newmarket (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; should be in the thick of things once more. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Normally reliable and gritty performer, as evidenced by his comeback win at Kempton (AW; made all) in April, so his major flop at Epsom (again 1m4f, good) came as quite the surprise three weeks later; maybe that track didn't suit and his previous body of work means he can easily be given another chance. |
4/1 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Really likeable sort who scored three times on good ground (1m2f/1m4f) last term, twice coming out on top in tight finishes; gelded before again showing a fine attitude to pick up Kempton handicap (1m4f, AW) on his reappearance three weeks ago; likely won't go down without a fight for his ever-growing fan club. |

17th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Eighth foal; closely related to 1m AW winner Superb Force (RPR 73), half-sister to three winners including Best Solution (6f-1m4f including Group 1; 119) and El Bodegon (7f-1m2f 2yo including Group 1; French Derby runner-up; 118); dam maiden (67); yard 1-31 in maidens last year and is best watched unless market is persuasive. |
