5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Quickened up best off a modest gallop at Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) in August and just missed out at Epsom after a 4lb rise (1m2f, good to soft); nudged up another 2lb but seems better than ever right now, despite his high mileage. |

Appreciated the drop in grade to quicken up best off a modest gallop at Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) and he can cope with this 4lb higher mark; considered. |

On a handy mark again now and his first three runs of this campaign confirmed he retained plenty of enthusiasm; off the boil more recently but he drops in class with Henry Callan booked; one to be interested in. |

9st 5lb |
Only 1-26; had lost his way but back to form with two seconds, latterly behind Rating at Chepstow (1m, good to firm); should feature and has run well in the reapplied blinkers (replacing cheekpieces). |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Broke duck at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) in May 2025 and some good efforts in defeat followed later in the year; however, it's been a slow process recapturing form for new yard and was well held when second of five back at Yarmouth recently; no good thing to take advantage of a tempting mark. |

Off a reduced mark he was only 2.5l away in the first-time tongue-tie at Leicester (1m4f) and he does stay this far; respected. |

Maiden whose best efforts have come at Wolverhampton and who's tried in a first-time tongue-tie off the back of two poor runs on turf; this is easier but has something to prove currently. |

16th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Promising debut on turf last August but he ran poorly on Tapeta next time and in two handicaps for previous trainer; showed more when a staying-on fourth of 12 at Windsor (1m) 15 days ago on yard debut and has a good run in him despite the unfavourable terms. |
5/1 |

4th 2 (11) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made a promising debut last August (7.6f, good to soft) but that remains his standout effort and he has finished down the field in two handicap runs this summer; sold out of Michael Bell's yard for 1,500gns in July; new yard have made their name reviving stock from elsewhere so he's one to note on his stable debut; hood joins the blinkers today. |
14/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has failed to back up debut effort and a switch to handicap level made no difference last time (1m2f); chance largely depends on whether first-time headgear prompts improvement. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-10 but he was beaten only a neck when third of seven here over 1m on stable debut last month; below that form when fifth of six at Haydock (1m2f, good) ten days ago; drops back to 7f for the first time since his debut and needs to bounce back returned to this track. |
7/1 |

4 (3) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-9 but he's dropped down the weights and was a close second on recent stable debut at Brighton (1m, good to firm; 22-1); looks interesting off unchanged mark and he has some novice form at this trip; shortlisted. |
5/1 |
|
8 (5) |
9th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Respectable third on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December, but his form went the wrong way in three subsequent runs for Marco Botti; record is now 0-8 and has plenty to prove for new yard. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up three times for Brian Meehan but he's struggled in his last five runs, including for new yard over 1m and 1m2f last month; it remains to be seen whether a marked step up in trip improves matters. |
33/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
250,000euros yearling; runner-up three times for Brian Meehan but he's struggled in his last four runs, including on stable debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) this month; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 0-11 and it's not hard to look elsewhere. |
33/1 |

10th 9 (3) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

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. |

Two of his three wins last year came over C&D; ran well here on his penultimate start but failed to back it up last week; others appeal more for win purposes. |

14th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Didn't show much last year on first three starts and beaten about 8l when fourth of six on recent handicap and seasonal debut here (1m, good to firm); however, he made some late headway in a race that has worked out well and this Ulysses 3yo may improve for today's step up in trip; a possible. |

Half-brother to two winners; finished well held in three runs last year (two here) and has since been gelded; starts handicap life at a lowly level and support back from seven months off would see him enter the equation in a weak-looking race. |
