1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive to win three 1m2f handicaps (Lingfield AW, Chester and Epsom) this season before never dangerous at Newmarket three weeks ago on his first race on good to firm; best effort on good to soft, soft in places, the time before, with a strong finish to pip Grecian Legacy, and he may well bounce back to go well again. |

11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
The most exposed runner in the line-up but he's been progressive in handicaps and completed a double with his strong finish at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last month; up another 5lb but he did well to overcome trouble last time and is now 2-3 on turf; Ryan Moore booked; major chance. |

Six races on AW and two on good ground; progressive in 1m2f handicaps, leading 1f out for a tidy win in nine-runner race at Chester last Saturday; up 5lb but experienced and respected. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who enjoyed a solid start to the season and is 3lb lower than when runner-up at Ayr in July; however, three lesser runs have followed and hopes are pinned on the first-time visor prompting a revival. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a course novice (7f, soft; only success) last November; made the first three in handicaps (1m-1m2f) on first five starts this term; down the field in a competitive race at Glorious Goodwood then finished last despite attracting good support at Haydock (1m, good) 18 days ago; question to answer after that. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made the first three in handicaps (1m-1m2f) on his first five starts this season before finishing down the field in a competitive race at Glorious Goodwood (wore cheekpieces; left off today); back in calmer waters here and no surprise if he returns to form. |

Both wins, including one over hurdles, came in a hood, which is absent as he returns from wind surgery after three months off; had plenty of chances off this sort of mark last year. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times at 1m2f (good/good to firm) in her time with Mark Walford and Brian Toomey last year; encouraging start at 1m4f for this yard and first-time blinkers worked a little too well when a still-respectable fourth of 15 at Newbury (good) a fortnight ago; can do better wearing that aid for the second time. |
4/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Bagged three 1m2f turf handicaps last April-July for other yards and started well for her new handler with two 1m4f seconds this winter; two lesser displays have followed, however, and she now wears headgear first time. |

9st 1lb |
Bagged three 1m2f handicaps last season (final one for Brian Toomey) and started well for her new handler until beating just two in 1m2f Lingfield handicap in January; returns from a break here. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Fourth in Epsom novice (1m, good) on return looked promising but he's rather taken backward steps since in 1m2f handicaps at Chester and Sandown; reverts to 1m but it wasn't just the trip which has beaten him recently. |
4/1 |

6th 8 (4) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Quite eyecatching on his Epsom return (1m novice, good) as he hit some traffic before staying on nicely; sent off favourite for handicap debut at Chester (1m2f) but never seemed on an even keel around there and made no real impression; remains of interest. |
6/1 |

5th 4 (10) |
31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Resumed from six months off/gelded with an improved fourth of nine in 8.5f Epsom novice last month, running on well late having not enjoyed the smoothest of passages; this son of Too Darn Hot has more to offer on his first go in handicaps, especially now his stamina is drawn out more; interesting. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Two turf wins at around 1m on good ground last summer, the second of them coming off a 1lb higher mark; not far off his best form when fourth at Lingfield early this month but he has since finished a remote 11th at Musselburgh; not a solid option. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Just 1lb higher than for the latest of two wins on turf last year and suggested a stiffer test might suit when beaten just over a length into fourth of 12 at Lingfield (1m, AW) nine days ago; shortlisted. |

Placed in two 7f Polytrack novices last autumn and narrowly landed a Beverley novice (8.5f, good) on her return in April, but held in both handicaps in the meantime; only 1lb lower and others are preferred. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-race maiden who was beaten 24l at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (replaced by first-time visor here); steps back up in trip and sliding down the weights but difficult to make a case for. |
16/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden who was a well-beaten 33-1 shot at Southwell (2m; first-time tongue-tie) in January; this is more realistic than the Listed hurdle she tackled here last time but she's still hard to make a strong case for; has first-time cheekpieces added to the tongue-tie now. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two front-running wins on Wolverhampton AW (about 1m and 1m1f) early in 2026; no impact behind Candonomore back on turf at Bath last time, when regular blinkers were left off, as today; likely other days. |
8/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

AW form since wearing blinkers features his only two wins; 0-4 on turf and has a bit to prove with the headgear removed back in this sphere. |
9/1 |

9th 11 (3) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who twice made all at Wolverhampton (8.6f/9.5f) in January, but recent evidence suggests the handicapper may have him for the time being. |
