6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Best form when winning a Ripon novice event (5f, good) and second in Ayr nursery (6f, soft); chance of emerging on top in this competitive handicap partly depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |
16/1 |

9th 6 (13) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Of interest on his two best efforts last year, namely a 5f novice win and a good second in a nursery at the Ayr Gold Cup meeting; market useful back from a six-month break. |
14/1 |

11th 8 (3) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ripon novice winner (5f, good) who returned from a break to fill second on nursery debut at Ayr (6f, soft) last month; he has something to find and was no match for the winner last time, but that one followed up in a Listed race and this fellow could build on that latest run; each-way squeak. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Sprang a 40-1 C&D surprise last week on first start since leaving Archie Watson, finishing fast to lead late on; now 4lb higher but he hasn't had much racing and there may be better still to come. |
13/2 |
|
1st 11 (9) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Pretty consistent across her six starts for Archie Watson (including on turf), winning a 5f AW novice last November; however, improvement is needed on stable debut, having changed hands for 26,000gns last month. |
20/1 |

4th 4 (2) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Trainer won with four of his last eight runners but the switch from cheekpieces to first-time blinkers will need to help this C&D winner, who's finished held in two handicaps this year having been gelded. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 7f Newmarket maiden (good) in October but finished down the field having led in French heavy-ground Listed race next time; weakened when attempting 1m on his comeback in April but this first start at 5f since his 2yo debut is still something of a surprise; fascinating to see what he makes of it in an additional tongue-tie with Oisin Murphy steering. |
4/1 |
|
10th 2 (2) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Comfortably held in heavy-ground Listed event in France when last seen; won well at Newmarket (7f, good) the time before, taking record in domestic races to 321; possibly remains open to further progress. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't see the trip out when fourth at Newcastle (7f, AW) in July but has been runner-up at Thirsk (6f, good) and Newcastle (6f, AW) in two starts being gelded; blinkers now go on and he sets the standard. |
11/8 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Good effort when second over C&D (second start) in June; made a big move before not staying 7f here next time and was gelded before finishing a solid second of 16 at Thirsk (6f, good) last month; leading contender. |
6/5 |
|
2nd 8 (12) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown promise all three starts, losing two places near the finish when fourth of ten at Newcastle (7f, AW; subsequently gelded) on latest; should be suited by today's drop back to 6f; remains open to improvement and commands plenty of respect. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-race maiden whose second-place finishes over 5f in April/May suggest there may be a contest of this nature in him; form dipped when returned to 6f last time. |
5/1 |
|
7th 2 (10) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Consistent maiden who was always well positioned from a rail draw when going close off 3lb lower at Beverley 12 days ago; needs more on just his second go beyond 5f. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
Well held when down the field in three novice/maiden events, most recently when ninth of 11 at Pontefract (5f, good) in July; still early days but he needs a transformation with tongue-tie added on nursery debut. |
12/1 |
|
2 (9) |
27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Took a slight step forward last time but needs to do better still and gives the impression he'll be more interesting in nurseries shortly. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Colt by Ardad; over 9l sixth of eight in a Ripon novice (5f, good; 18-1) three weeks ago; significant improvement needed. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Not solid on his sprint form last year for the Fahey yard and contests another novice race rather than switching to a low-grade handicap; sold for 2,600gns and gelded since last run. |
33/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Was only 100-30 for Ripon debut when not showing much but he travelled strongly and shaped better in a fair Redcar novice (also 5f; good to firm) in June; now hooded up in trip; looks the type to improve again. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
100-30 and green when beating only one in novice at Ripon (5f, good) on his debut 17 days ago; this son of Profitable fetched £360,000 at the breeze-ups and appeals as the sort to do a fair bit better. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Showed the right attitude when winning at Southwell (7f, AW) off a 2lb lower mark early last month but then made it six poor efforts from six starts on turf at Beverley a fortnight later; that leaves him with it to prove. |
12/1 |
|
6 (2) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Had stable companion Harswell River (2lb better off) just behind in fourth when winning a Southwell nursery on AW debut last time (well-beaten fifth in a C&D nursery previous start); up 2lb; a possible. |
4/1 |
|
1st 7 (5) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
No improvement for the switch to minor nurseries on his last two starts; hopes appear to rest on the new surface having a positive effect. |
20/1 |
