28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
There was no return to his peak form on his recent stable and seasonal debut at Newmarket (7f, good) but it wasn't a bad performance and he could improve for that run; might not be far away; watch the betting. |
20/1 |

8th 1 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Absent since below-par run last August on final start for Denis Quinn (same ownership); however, this lightly raced 5yo returns after wind surgery and he won this last year (good to firm); no surprise if he has a big say. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Low-mileage AW winner who trailed home last of 12 at Newmarket on stable/seasonal debut; best watched unless the market suggests he's likely to leave that effort behind. |
20/1 |
|
12th 6 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Built upon previous promise (including on turf) to win maiden at Lingfield (1m, AW) last September; 3l third of 12 on handicap debut there (1m, AW) in October on final run for George Boughey; sold for 50,000gns later that month; unexposed but lacks a recent run and he needs to be better than ever if he's to make a winning stable debut. |
10/1 |
|
2 (6) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Promise for Charles Hills; gelded after a midfield finish on his handicap/stable debut in June and showed the benefit with an improved effort to win a C&D maiden three weeks ago; hit with a 4lb rise but remains capable of better as a miler. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Thrice-raced colt who ran well from the front at Leicester (7f, good) most recently, belying his 28-1 odds with 1l third to a subsequent scorer; possibilities if building on that effort. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
10th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Unseated his rider early on sole 2yo start; 6-1 for his reappearance at Kempton 19 days ago (6f), a race in which he weakened in the straight; bred to do much better at some point. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beat 13 rivals to win at Redcar (7f, good to firm) last month on his second start of the season; failed to back that up when sixth there (7f, good) last time and this is his first crack at 6f, but he's not discounted. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Built on an encouraging AW reappearance when gaining a breakthrough win in 14-runner C&D handicap (good to firm; Mayo County third) 17 days ago; they were quite well strung out in behind (over 4l back to the fourth) so a 3lb rise looks manageable. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-10 but returned from a break with an encouraging fourth at Southwell (1m, AW) recently; also effective on turf; might not be far away. |

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. |
20/1 |
|
7 (1) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
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. |
12/1 |
|
8th 3 (7) |
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. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winning return from short break at Southwell (7f, AW) in March and went close at Nottingham (8.5f, good) on her next start; came home nicely when fourth behind three more prominently ridden rivals at Lingfield (7f, AW) 16 days ago and should appreciate returning to this trip; on the shortlist. |
4/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has done most racing over further and an easy 7f is a bare minimum but she's returned from a short break with two solid efforts under Liam Wright; up another 2lb for her Nottingham near-miss but has to enter calculations. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Bath (1m, good to firm) last August and she's added two AW wins since including a brave success in a tight finish at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; only 2lb higher back on turf and she's strongly respected back up in trip. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Minor form thus far, including on handicap debut when a 66-1 chance; opposable. |
66/1 |
|
10th 7 (10) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Struggled at big prices in his three qualifying runs but this is more realistic on handicap debut and he's a possible improver on this step up to 1m; needs checking in market. |
16/1 |
|
7 (8) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Big prices and well beaten in both starts; can only watch in this field. |
