Two from two this term, namely comfortable wins in C&D maiden in April and Haydock novice event in July, both over 7f on good ground; gelded prior to last time; respected with further improvement plausible. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Promising third on his Kempton debut in December (6f) and more than backed up that positive impression when running away with a 7f maiden (good) at Newmarket 11 weeks ago; looked a fine prospect there and he's a strong contender despite his 7lb penalty; been gelded. |

17th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
230,000gns yearling; made his debut at 1m and last two runs over 7f, last time at Doncaster (good to firm) sent off long odds-on and beating an improver with the pair well clear; going the right way and has plenty of potential to raise current mark. |

230,000gns yearling; placed in both Newmarket maidens, the latest when second of 11 (7f, good) 16 days ago; sets a useful standard and this looks a good opportunity. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to win for this stable but he posted two good runner-up efforts at Pontefract (1m, good) and Hamilton (8.5f, good) in June/July; below that level in both starts since and has a tongue-tie added for his AW debut. |
11/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Record of 1-11, the win in a 7f maiden for the Gosdens; two near misses in handicaps at about 1m this summer and reportedly ran flat last time; hard to dismiss. |
5/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 7f winner for John and Thady Gosden last summer; has steadily found his form for current yard, runner-up in five-runner event over C&D five days ago; player off an unchanged mark. |

17th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Both starts over 7f on good ground, finishing fourth of 11 at Newmarket in April (race has produced winners) and third of nine at Newbury last month (runner-up has won since); half-brother to an AW winner and a major player. |

16th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Encouraging start to his career when fourth to Indian Springs at Newmarket last month (7f, good); 7lb better off for just over 3l and should get closer to his old rival with the experience behind him. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Has some encouraging form, notably close second over C&D (Class 5) on penultimate start; the only maiden in this field and steps up in grade but receives plenty of weight all round; could go well. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
0-7 but he's had only three starts for this stable; ran well to split two more prominently ridden rivals at Southwell (7f, AW) in August and did his best work late on when third of 11 in a Class 4 at Ayr (7f, soft) latest; strong claims with the return to 1m likely to suit on switch back to AW. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Tongue tied first time and left his first two efforts behind when seeing off two next-time-out winners in a 7f Newbury novice (good) in May; on the back of that he went off favourite for the 30-runner Britannia at Royal Ascot but met repeated trouble in running; evidently well regarded (has also been Group entered) and can be given another chance. |
3/1 |
|
21th 25 (14) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
370,000gns yearling; first-time tongue-tie when not overly troubled at Newbury (7f novice, good) to beat a subsequent winner and he's in the right hands to keep progressing now into handicaps, especially raised to 1m; could very easily take a huge step forward, and runs here in preference to Saturday's Group 3 Jersey Stakes; dangerous; trainer won this in 2012. |
9/1 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
16th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Shaped well on his AW debut in November (7f) but he was left trailing when Indian Springs moved through the gears at Newmarket last month; open to improvement and a tongue-tie may help but minor money perhaps his best hope. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has something to prove having been well beaten in handicaps on his last two starts; however, this 3yo impressed in a novice at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in July and is in top hands; too soon to write him off. |
10/1 |
|
9th 5 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Trounced his rivals in Windsor novice (1m, good to firm) last month but he's found things tough in Ascot handicaps (Class 2) either side of that; still unexposed and now drops back in grade but he needs more progress back at this trip. |
7/1 |
|
12th 15 (16) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Made no impact in the Britannia and he faced a much easier task when landing the odds in Windsor novice (1m, good to firm) next time; back in deeper waters here but he's low mileage, in good hands and hard to rule out. |

0-10; runner-up three times for Brian Meehan (1m-1m2f, including AW) but last of nine at Haydock (1m2f) on sole start for Tony Culhane & Stella Barclay; nice pedigree - cost 250,000euros as a yearling - so this trainer could work her magic; monitor only. |
28/1 |
|
9th 2 (7) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-race maiden who ended last term with two poor shows, with blinkers given a go on final outing; subsequently left Brian Meehan for 15,000gns in October; has a piece of 1m2f form, but below form on his only start on softer than good and non-runner for old yard when the ground was testing. |

0-8 and didn't run very well at Bath (1m2f, good to firm) eight days ago, but placed in his first four handicaps including in both starts over C&D; shortlisted back here with blinkers given a go. |

Two wins on fast ground this summer (5f-6f; handles heavy); disappointed as favourite at Carlisle 19 days ago; drawn wide and others have stronger claims. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Got up late for a C&D win last month and added to his tally at Pontefract (5f, also good to firm) on Wednesday; 5lb penalty demands a bit more from him but he's evidently in good nick. |
11/4 |

1st 5 (8) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got up late to win at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month; denied clear run when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) next time and kept on for third at Thirsk (6f, good) last Saturday; it's possible he'll get going too late back down to 5f but the stiff track and strong pace will help; chance. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner who landed a gamble on his handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, AW) last September and made short work of following up at Thirsk one week later; slow start to his 2026 campaign but things clicked back on AW at Kempton three weeks ago, gamely repelling the reopposing Moving Force; could progress further after just eight runs. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark in a 7f Lingfield maiden (soft) on fourth start but he hasn't looked worth his mark in two handicaps since, over 6f and 7f; down further 2lb but likely to need another drop before of interest. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

Grabbed the favoured stands' rail when off the mark in a soft-ground maiden at Lingfield and dropped away tamely on handicap debut at Doncaster, albeit back at 6f; others preferred. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the fourth attempt when landing a Lingfield maiden (7f, soft) last month; pulled hard in that race but he grabbed the stands' rail and did well to hold off some finishers; looks on fair mark now switched to a handicap and he's open to more progress on this drop back in trip. |
