6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won his first two starts and he was a close second on his handicap debut last June (6f, good to firm); struggled thereafter, albeit pitched into a Group 1 at Royal Ascot; gelded during his 132-day absence; could still have some potential and switching to AW shouldn't be a problem. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Short-priced favourite when winning an Ayr maiden on his debut and a Pontefract novice on his 3yo return; solid effort on his handicap debut at Windsor in June but found the Commonwealth Cup too hot to handle 18 days later; no improvement for 7f at Ascot three weeks ago; tongue tie now reached for; risky but Richard Fahey won this with a 3yo in 2023. |
8/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
All four runs on good or quicker ground; relinquished unbeaten record when second on handicap debut at Windsor before flying too high in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; this is a big drop down from that and he remains unexposed. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
AW winner (5f) for Karl Burke as a 2yo; ran well over C&D on last season's reappearance and his fourth in a big field at York on his handicap debut came off a 3lb higher mark; two subsequent efforts are excusable (Listed company and then 7f on slow ground); sold for 32,000gns in October; unexposed as a sprinter and now drops in class; stable also runs Sixtygeesbaby. |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Speedily bred 3yo who has fairly useful form over sprint trips on home soil; came up short in French Listed event most recently; not certain to see out this stiff 7f. |
12/1 |

4th 10 (8) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
5f AW win by a nose at Wolverhampton last October and his second of eight at Pontefract (6f, good) on return in April represented improvement; every chance he'll take another step forward on this handicap debut. |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All 12 runs have been on turf and he won twice at Catterick (6f/7f, good) last season; 6lb higher than for his last success but he reappeared with a creditable fourth of 13 at Thirsk last month; should benefit from that run and he's in the mix on this drop back in trip; tongue-tie added. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (13) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 in a rich vein of form, winning a Catterick handicap (7f, good) before a narrow defeat at Musselburgh (7f, soft) when last seen 164 days ago; another 2lb higher on his reappearance so he will need to be cherry ripe for this return to action. |
12/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Like Yaaser he was well held at York last Friday, but his previous second to a progressive type at Ayr (7f, soft) looks pretty solid form; sole win came on good ground here; no surprise if he bounces back. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-10, but made a promising return from 181 days off when second of seven at Nottingham (6f, good) last month; each-way claims if as effective on AW debut. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Nine-race maiden in his first season last year, best form when making the frame twice over 6f; having been absent for six months, the market signals may offer further guidance. |
8/1 |
|
6 (6) |
27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
3yo maiden who has frame possibilities on bits of form; chance of winning depends on how well he responds to cheekpieces (replacing the visor worn last time). |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Still seeking his first win (0-9); one of two to race on the far side when third at Redcar (6f, good; 5-1) a fortnight ago; should find a winning opportunity eventually but there are at least a couple of others who make more appeal here. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
From a family the stable has enjoyed success with and he ran on to take a never-dangerous fourth (of 17) on his Thirsk return 19 days ago; has time to do better but he didn't look overly enthusiastic at Thirsk. |
4/1 |
|
4th 16 (14) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Poor maiden who beat one in 5f Pontefract handicap when last seen out in October; needs to hit the ground running after six months off. |

Big prices and well beaten all starts for two different yards; first-time headgear will need to make a huge difference. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Yet to make the frame from five starts, latest when last of ten on stable debut at Thirsk (1m, good; 100-1) ten days ago; others preferred. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Modest form at best in four outings for Kevin Frost, including tailed off on 1m handicap debut in June; stable has enjoyed success with new recruits under both codes this summer but can still only watch. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Six-race maiden who appeared to improve on his turf efforts when beaten less than 2l into sixth of ten over C&D (first-time cheekpieces; 50-1) in September, but it remains to be seen how reliable the form is. |
12/1 |
|
8 (4) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Has beaten at total one rival in his five turf starts; combination of first-time headgear and new surface needs to prompt major improvement. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only win was off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last September; creditable third at Thirsk last month (7f, good) but bit disappointing last time at Doncaster (7f, good to firm). |
6/1 |
|
8th 16 (17) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Newcastle (AW) in September and it was a close third at Thirsk (also 7f, good) on his return to turf a fortnight ago; drawn on the wing but can travel smoothly and should be in the thick of it off the same mark. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 (15) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Might be better on the AW but shaped encouragingly after a break at Newcastle last month (7f) and he's not had many chances on grass; draw no help. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two AW wins at 7f and she ran respectably over that trip in turf handicaps late last summer but was too far below her best in November and on her reappearance last month to make much appeal today. |
14/1 |
|
14th 1 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two 7f wins on Tapeta last year including a dominant display in a C&D handicap in November; flopped here in her final run in 2025 but she's had a break since and it wouldn't be a surprise if she found more progress as a 4yo; needs a close look on her return. |
