5th 3 (3) |
20th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Southwell novice winner (1m, AW) last November and, having been gelded, wasn't beaten far into fifth of 12 on last month's Sandown return/handicap debut (1m, good) when not enjoying a clear run; better is expected with cheekpieces given a go. |

29th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Failed to match market expectations in his two turf races last August (heavy/good to firm); much better in both AW novices at Southwell (1m) late last year, winning on first occasion; gelded since; needs better still on this return to turf for handicap debut but they usually run well from this yard when Oisin Murphy is booked. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |

Novice win in 2024 remains his sole win in 18 Flat races and he has performed poorly in his two previous visits here; well-held third over hurdles last week; not overly appealing. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced; her 1m form on turf and the AW suggests she should find a race off her current mark but she just plugged on at one pace when a remote fourth of six on the step up to 1m2f at Doncaster (good to firm) recently; this may be easier but she needs to prove her stamina. |
4/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Still to register a victory but she's proving a reliable filly and returned from eight months off with a clear second of five in 1m Southwell handicap last month; can race off the same mark here and this step up in trip promises to suit so she's a player. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win a race but last season's three handicap runs were all encouraging; this is the least-competitive race she has tackled and switching to AW shouldn't faze her on pedigree; Billy Loughnane booked; should go well back from a break. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Outstayed over 1m6f last time; consistent on turf/AW otherwise and although 0-9 in this sphere he has frame possibilities back down in distance; respectable third in similar event at Epsom (1m4f) on Derby day. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
In the frame all six starts this season, and might have bumped into a smart one when second off today's mark at Kempton (1m4f, AW) ten days ago; also suited by turf and won't be far away if stamina holds out over new trip. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Consistent sort who has yet to be out of the first four in 17 starts; his two wins including one here over 1m3f last August and he was beaten only 2l over C&D last month; should continue to give his running. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improved on each of first four starts but floundered on heavy at Glorious Goodwood and seemed to find 1m2f too far last time; back in trip with blinkers replacing cheekpieces; no surprise to see him bounce back. |
4/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Best to forgive his Glorious Goodwood effort on rain-softened ground; won at Sandown (1m, good) on handicap debut the time before and this well-bred colt may still have more to offer; likely to stay this new trip; remains of interest. |
7/2 |
|
14 (6) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
600,000gns yearling with an excellent pedigree; progressive RPRs in his three novice runs and he made his breakthrough when scoring on handicap debut at Sandown (1m, good) in May; 5lb higher on this step up in grade but he produced a strong finish from off the pace last time and is open to more progress; respected with cheekpieces added. |

9st 10lb |
3-4 on Tapeta and bids for a hat-trick after wins at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Southwell (1m); up another 7lb and is unraced on Polytrack, but still a major player. |
9/4 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
The blinkers experiment didn't work in July but he's won both AW outings since his debut, over C&D (maiden) and with authority at Wolverhampton (about 1m; second has won since) last month; hung left there, possibly away from the whip, but a 4lb rise shouldn't be beyond him; respected. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won Beverley maiden (7.4f, good to firm) in June and has gone close in handicaps on his next three starts (including on good to soft), most recently behind subsequent Cambridgeshire runner-up Indalo in the Racing League at Southwell (1m, AW); this progressive 3yo is firmly in calculations. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 12 (5) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won Beverley maiden in June on his fifth start and has gone close the next twice, most recently beaten a neck in Racing League at Windsor (1m) a fortnight ago; has a 5lb rise to defy but this 3yo was clear of the third last time and is in good hands to continue to progress; on the shortlist. |
7/1 |
|
3 (12) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have been on AW (1m/7f) and latest was at Southwell in April; still 3lb higher than for that success but he resumed his progress with a bold bid over 7f at Kempton (second of 13) last time; pulled clear of the third in that race and he's respected back up in trip. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 10 (8) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
A win and two second-place finishes from three visits to Kempton; up and down on turf since his Southwell win in April; a career best will be needed to take this. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Both wins on the AW but he bled when disappointing at Nottingham before a solid 2l defeat in a big field at Ascot (7f, good to firm); he was boxing on that day and now returns to a mile; respected. |

Gained a first win at Market Rasen (2m) in December for Warren Greatrex; off seven months/had breathing surgery before posting an encouraging second of five for his new yard in 2m1f handicap at Newton Abbot 17 days ago; big shout off an unchanged mark. |
13/8 |

2nd 6 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Nearly 6l too good for Mojito Des Mottes in taking a Market Rasen juvenile last December (2m1f, good to soft), but sold out of Warren Greatrex's yard after a moderate handicap debut; this wouldn't be any easier, but no surprise were the wind surgery, tongue tie and/or move to his top new connections to prove transformative. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Juvenile hurdler who had wind surgery prior to justifying favouritism at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) two months ago; considering his Flat mark, he looks well treated in this first crack at a handicap hurdle; highly respected. |

Opened turf account with emphatic win at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last month and also ran well when keeping-on fifth of 13 from wide stall at Chester (7f, good to soft) on Friday; commands respect in current form. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) last March but he's been up and down since and has struggled in last two runs; overall record is now 1-15 and he needs a major revival back in trip; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
25/1 |

9th 12 (3) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Good to soft ground was probably against him when well held at Salisbury recently but, even though most of his best form is on the AW, he can't be ruled out off a useful turf mark on his best grass form in 2025; a revival is possible. |
22/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his best form, and sole win, is on the AW, but he would come right into this reckoning if able to reproduce a good third of 14 at Newbury last summer when 11lb higher; however, he wasn't in the same form in two subsequent runs there, nor back on the AW last time. |

Both wins have been on turf but he has run well on all four starts on AW, including when third of 11 over C&D two weeks ago; place claims at least. |

3rd 3 (3) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Doubled his tally at Yarmouth (1m2f) in June but added to a patchy profile when coming in last of eight there (1m2f) last time; others appeal more. |

8th 5 (9) |
30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just held on to make all over C&D (good to firm) in June but has not kicked on from that success and does not appear to have much margin for error off current mark; not sure to be suited by the forecast rain; cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted. |
