22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Refused to race at Redcar in July and took some encouraging to leave the stalls at Newcastle last month; can't be backed with any confidence. |
16/1 |

13th 2 (8) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Often slowly away but his refusal to race at Redcar last month was a new low; blinkers tried there are quickly dispensed with; hard to recommend after latest display. |
16/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ran his best race of the year when third of eight at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago, his first run after a gelding operation; regular slow starts aren't ideal and the switch to blinkers isn't enough to earn him the vote. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Big runs at York (5f/6f) on first three turf starts this year but found it much tougher since; Chester fourth on latest start (his first on softer than good) was his best in form terms but still suggests he will be vulnerable. |
9/1 |
|
4th 9 (3) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Big chance on this year's best efforts but his form dipped at York in June and last week's Great St Wilfrid seventh wasn't great either; unraced on slower than good; not sure what to expect. |
9/1 |
|
7th 12 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Sprang a 40-1 surprise on his stable debut at York (5f, good) in May and he showed better form in defeat on his next two starts (both at York; 5f and 6f on good ground); messed about at the start when disappointing at York seven weeks ago; still of major interest from a handicapping perspective judged on his run on June 13 and he's unexposed at 6f; contender. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 7f novice as a 2yo and he ran over 1m on his reappearance, but his two runs since have been over this distance; went off favourite but met trouble on both occasions, and he has since been gelded; hard to pin down but he's relatively lightly raced and probably has more to offer. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won a 7f novice as a 2yo and he was tried over 1m on his seasonal/handicap debut in April; dropped to 5f at Sandown nine days ago (tongue tied first time; well backed) and travelled well but met some trouble at a crucial stage; that race set up for the closers and this is a sharper test but he could well have more to offer as a sprinter; cheekpieces now added. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
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. |

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. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
13-race maiden but he's been placed five times and didn't get much luck when runner-up in a Newcastle handicap (6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; now returns to a novice but he should be fine back at this trip and his best form puts him firmly in the picture; hood removed. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Longstanding maiden who's been turned over at 13-2 or shorter on eight occasions, mainly over 5f; headgear goes back on as he returns to 6f but he's often pulled hard in the hood and can miss the break, so there are risks involved. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Can pull hard; three places but no wins from 11 starts; capable of going well, as he showed when second in two races in the spring (one on the AW) but not particularly consistent. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden; held on for third after blasting off in front at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in July but was safely held when dropped back to 6f last month; makes AW debut today; others are more persuasive. |
7/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Six-race maiden; refused to settle and built up a clear lead at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) three weeks ago, but was caught inside the final furlong and finished third of eight; there was plenty of encouragement to be taken from that effort and he should be suited by the drop back in trip. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
All races at 5f and he hasn't achieved much in either handicap, for previous yard and this one; some encouragement in pedigree for a step up in trip but probably best watched even so. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Consistent in five handicaps for previous yard, winning once; form dipped on debut for new stable but a rebound would put him in the picture; went close in sole C&D attempt. |
9/1 |
|
12th 4 (16) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who has a record of 22213, all over 5f/6f for Gary Harrison, since handicapping; solid claims, assuming he continues in the same vein on debut for new yard; still with same owner. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has clicked since handicapping on fast turf, his two seconds working out particularly well subsequently; off the mark in good style at Thirsk (6f) last time and this half-brother to a Tapeta winner remains open to improvement despite 7lb rise; high on the shortlist. |

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 |
