4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Coped well with the return to 6f when making all at Wolverhampton five weeks ago; that was only a claimer and he didn't need to be at his very best but he's landed a good draw from which to attack. |

A bit to prove in the reapplied visor and back over 6f, with his last win coming at 7f; badly drawn last time at Chester but disappointed the run before as well. |

Ended a long losing run when scoring over 7f here (good to soft) last month but he wasn't in the same form at Epsom last week; has bit to prove again after that and he hasn't had much luck with the draw. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Hasn't looked well handicapped for his new stable but his mark is easing and conditions shouldn't faze him; this looks a tough race in which to try to rediscover his best though. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Ran in a couple of Group 3s for Stuart Williams late last summer before changing hands for 40,000gns; returned to handicaps for new yard this spring but he's been well held in his three runs and overall record now stands at 1-10; opposable. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
The addition of cheekpieces saw him win a C&D handicap (Metaverse second) in December off a 1lb higher mark; not at the same level in a pair of competitive 6f handicaps this summer (gelded prior to the first of them); needs a full revival. |
12/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended 2025 with a 7f win at Kempton (cheekpieces first time); well beaten at Goodwood 17 days ago on his return from a 175-day break (gelded during the absence); better than that but still not easily recommended. |
20/1 |
|
23th 3 (14) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Responded well to first-time cheekpieces (retained since) when successful over 7f at Kempton in December; no more than a respectable fourth back there (7f again) two months later and off since (has been gelded); Clive Cox is among the winners but others arrive with more pressing claims. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He has plenty of ability but he isn't the easiest to win with; not at his best in 6f handicaps on his last two starts; handles softer than good but others are more appealing for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win a turf handicap and he was only ninth of 11 in this race last year; ran well when fifth of 17 at York over 5f last month but surprisingly found it happening too quickly over 6f at Brighton last Friday; others hold more interesting claims. |
11/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Back in form at York last time, despite being rather drawn away from the action in a race in which the leaders didn't stop; a while since he went beyond 5f but this may well be run to suit if he gets some luck once dropped in (as seems likely) from stall 9. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive form in the spring, following a ready Brighton win with an emphatic success at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on handicap debut; ran no sort of race when favourite at Newmarket's July meeting last time but has had two months off and now reappears in cheekpieces; may still be unexposed. |
11/2 |

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
2-2 since faced with 6f on fast ground, following his ready Brighton win with an emphatic success at Doncaster on his handicap debut eight weeks ago; while that latest form hasn't been especially well advertised, he looked a smart prospect and has a major chance despite an 11lb rise. |
8/1 |
|

17th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Chased home a notable opponent at Wolverhampton in December (7f); beaten at odds-on at Catterick on his return to action but he made no mistake dropped to 6f at Brighton 18 days ago; more on his plate in a handicap but could well have more to offer. |

Fair reappearance at Pontefract but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; down the field behind Magic Boy here 13 days ago. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Both wins have come on good to soft ground but he does have one good run on good to firm to his name; disappointed at Windsor last month but this is an ease in grade. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

Two 6f wins to his name on good to soft ground; unplaced in two runs this year but neither run was without promise; he will need a personal best to come out on top here though. |

Gained a second success of 2026 at Ripon (6f) this month and backed it up with a good third of 14 in Great St Wilfrid there 13 days ago; well in the mix off the same mark. |

3rd 6 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
In good form this year, winning a big-field handicap at York (6f, good) in May and adding a C&D handicap 12 days ago (good ground; Dark Cloud Rising second); up 5lb in a stronger race and it could find him out. |

9st 5lb |
1-21; close fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; from 7lb higher) in April; has lost his way since, failing to beat many in 5f contests at Pontefract, Beverley, and Chester; questions to be answered for the time being. |

Trained up until now in Britain by James Horton, winning Wolverhampton AW maiden in March and best turf run when second in Windsor Class 4 handicap (6f, good-to-firm) in May; way below that form in cheekpieces in similar Doncaster contest 12 days later; yard debut with cheekpieces left off. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; yet to win this season but she was a good third at Salisbury (1m, good) in June and filled the same position behind a big improver at Lingfield (1m, AW) last time; continues to edge down the weights and she's in the mix back on turf. |

Yet to win this season but kept on for third at Salisbury (1m, good) in June and only faded out of contention in closing stages at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month, having raced wide throughout; on a tempting mark now; might be the answer. |
