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. |

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. |

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. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Early promise for Marco Botti, winning a Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, Tapeta) in December 2024, but well beaten on handicap/turf debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) last April; makes stable debut (same owner) after ten months off; market should be revealing. |

25th Apr 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won comfortably in a maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in December and creditable second to Circus Of Rome in a novice there (9.4f; a head in front of Hot Cash) four weeks ago; can still improve but this looks a tough mark for handicap/turf debut. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Form subsided slightly on final 2025 starts but now 2lb lower than his Carlisle win (1m, soft; acts on good) last June and he ran well for a long way in a strong Newbury handicap last month; may not be far away. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Improved on his debut form when runner-up at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April but he's not gone on from that in two runs since; had some traffic issues at Windsor last time but this looks a tough assignment on the figures and others are preferred. |
5/1 |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Improved on his debut fourth at Wolverhampton when runner-up at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month; didn't build on that at Chelmsford (1m2f) last time but he wasn't beaten far and he's a key player in this ordinary race; respected back up in trip on turf debut. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Fifth in his first two starts on the AW, but has improved since including when making a successful handicap debut at Catterick (1m4f, soft) in October; creditable fourth of 12 on his Thirsk reappearance (1m4f, good) last month (third has won since); could go well in the first-time hood. |
5/1 |

4th 4 (12) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning start in handicaps at Catterick (1m4f) in October and not discredited off a 6lb higher mark given he went keenly when fourth at Nottingham (1m6f) in final run; this son of Waldgeist could have more to offer in 2026. |
8/1 |

7 (5) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Showed promise at about 1m2f before second favourite for handicap debut at Catterick (1m4f, soft) four weeks ago and going on 3f out to win it by nearly 2l; up 6lb but he's a lightly raced 3yo who shaped last time as if he's a strong candidate for 1m6f. |

9st 0lb |
Placed in maidens at Kempton (1m) and Chelmsford (1m2f) in February/March but hasn't fared so well since, including in two handicaps; been gelded and mark continues to fall but he needs to raise his game at this new trip. |

Placed in maidens at Kempton (1m) and over C&D in February/March but hasn't fared so well since, including on handicap debut at Epsom (8.5f, good) last month; dropped another 2lb but he needs to raise his game back up in trip. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Readily won Lingfield maiden (good to soft) in June before disappointing favourite backers under a penalty at Nottingham (also 1m2f, good) having raced freely the following month; fifth of six on handicap debut at Goodwood (1m4f, good) left plenty to be desired last time; question to answer now but too soon to write her off. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Readily won by 2l at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) before disappointing favourite backers under a penalty at Nottingham (raced freely); brings an unexposed profile into handicaps. |

Big prices all starts and has not shown enough in turf and AW handicaps (1m, 1m3f, 1m4f) to think she can be competitive today; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

4th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |

Well beaten on AW on his first three starts (1m-9.5f) and he beat only one rival home on handicap debut at Newbury (1m, good) 26 days ago; much more needed now up in trip back on AW. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-18 but does possess ability as when second of 15 on his return from four months off here (1m2f, good to firm) nine days ago; usually takes a good grip, though, and this sort of trip has found him out in the past. |
11/2 |

2nd 14 (12) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Slowly into stride but still finished second to subsequent prolific winner in similar event over C&D around this time last year; blew the start again when beaten a head at Leicester (1m2f, also good to firm) three weeks later; still not perfected the art of starting but mark is reduced after AW spell and he's dangerous back on turf if ready after a break. |
15/2 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Maiden who regularly fluffs the start; failed to get home over 1m4f last time but whether he needs a drop back to 1m is debatable; best form when runner-up twice over 1m2f (on turf). |

Never better than midfield in AW classified race (1m4f; first-time visor) last month and has now been unplaced all seven starts; needs this new trip to show him in a much better light. |

10 (3) |
26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Safely held over 1m4f in first two handicaps (including AW) and heavy defeat when upped to 1m6f last month; should appreciate this first classified but has a bit to prove now; tongue-tie and visor replace cheekpieces. |
