13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-7; fourth in both starts this year, a 0-55 handicap at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) and a 0-50 classified event at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta); frame material based on those efforts. |

9th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5yo who showed his first signs of ability when fourth of 12 on handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack; 50-1) last month; still lightly raced and cheekpieces are now added but he needs to build on that last run. |

Huge prices and no threat across both codes; may do better now handicapping but only market support would make him of interest. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Has bits of placed form on Flat and over hurdles, including in C&D contest in April; losing run remains the negative, as he is 0-13 since winning a bumper on debut. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has only won a bumper; placed at about 1m3f at Lingfield (good to firm) and here (heavy) before losing his action and pulling up 17 days ago; should run well if back in good order. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Bumper winner who was placed on the last two of his five Flat starts, more recently when third in handicap here (11.6f, heavy) ten days ago; could easily have more to offer over today's longer trip; big player. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Picked up well from an unpromising position to run down smart stablemate Cajole on 8.6f Wolverhampton debut in May and confirmed himself an exciting prospect with a 4l win under a penalty over 1m2f at Windsor (good) since; the way he powered clear in the closing stages suggests the slightly longer trip this evening will suit and this Group-entered colt can take the step up to Listed level in his stride. |
13/8 |

9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
By Make Believe out of a fairly useful 1m winner; 12-1 for 13-runner novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) 13 days ago and hampered at the start, but he travelled comfortably off the pace and passed eight rivals in the straight to win from a short-priced stablemate; that's easily the best form in this field and he looked highly promising. |
2/7 |

27th May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
First foal; dam 1m winner (including AW; RPR 92), half-sister to 5.5f/6f Group 3 winner Sajir, out of Group-placed 6f 2yo winner; interesting to see how he fares in the market, especially in relation to stablemate Cajole. |

Flat winner for William Haggas ahcieved a peak rating of 81 in that sphere; soundly beaten on debut for this yard in a Dundalk claimer and tailed off on hurdling bow at Cork last month; unlikely. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Made the frame over 1m2f at Windsor (good/soft) on first two starts this year; third of six off this mark on handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) was better form but he clearly needs to improve; early days. |
8/1 |

11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
300,000euros yearling; ran poorly at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last November, but has made the frame in two starts over 1m2f at Windsor (good/soft) since returning in June; longer trip should be within range on handicap debut and worth a second look. |
6/1 |

6 (11) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
300,000euros yearling by Sea The Stars; dropped right out at Newcastle (1m, AW) last November and gelded in March; much better when third of 11 in Windsor novice (1m2f, good) last month; form has been boosted and he should build on that performance; strong each-way claims at the least. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten 9l or more in his three qualifying runs and was a remote fifth on handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, soft; 33-1) last month; still early days but he needs improvement at this new trip. |
16/1 |

8 (3) |
17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Backward step at Windsor last time (on soft but bred to handle these conditions) but his two previous runs weren't devoid of promise and makes handicap debut in a race his yard has won twice in three years. |
20/1 |
|
8 (8) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Significant ability on both starts (good) and he stuck to his task well for fourth of 11 in C&D novice last time, albeit never threatening Gallic Legend who finished 3l ahead; needs to find extra. |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up over about 1m2f on four of eight starts last year, including in two handicaps and one was at this track; disappointing when 4-7 in a novice event on reappearance but back-to-form fourth of 14 in 1m2f handicap at Newbury on latest start; place claims again and cheekpieces are added. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up over about 1m2f on four of eight starts last year, including in two handicaps; close third on reappearance at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in early March but that was when 4-7 in a novice event and that disappointment heightens the concern over his lingering maiden status. |

3rd 4 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Well beaten here on his debut last April but he was runner-up on four occasions last year at around 1m2f; gelded since last seen 145 days ago and holds good claims with his stable going well. |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
First-time cheekpieces did the trick in a Yarmouth classified in July and it was a solid effort when second of four in a handicap there (also 11.5f, good) three weeks ago; earlier AW form may be a red herring and he's respected again. |
4/1 |

3rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
The first-time cheekpieces (retained) did the trick when off the mark over C&D (good) 18 days ago; that was a classified contest but the RPR he posted suggests this mark should be very manageable. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Scored at Chelmsford (1m5f) for Roger Varian in January; not disgraced for his new yard with third of six in 1m6f Yarmouth handicap nine days ago, so he's one to consider. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
The winner of one of his 11 starts for Roger Varian, namely a 13.3f handicap at Chelmsford in January; sold for 8,500gns last month; still to prove as good on turf as AW but that is perhaps circumstance, rather than a marked preference for artificial surfaces. |
7/1 |

8th 8 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Looked on the up when gaining a breakthrough victory at Chelmsford (1m5f) in January; hasn't matched that form both runs since but he failed to last home when fifth in 2m Lingfield handicap last time; not out of things in a change of headgear over this shorter trip. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Led on the post here for the first of two 1m4f wins last summer for Gemma Tutty and, with tongue-tie enlisted, hit major new heights for new yard this year with his wins from off the pace at Newcastle (2m, AW) and Musselburgh (1m6f, soft); raised another 9lb, which demands more, but those last two wins were delivered in some style and he has to be considered seriously. |
12/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 3 |

Won twice over about 1m4f (good/AW) last summer for Gemma Tutty and, tongue tied for the first time, made a successful stable debut from off the pace in 11-runner race at Newcastle (2m, AW) six weeks ago; up 5lb but that latest win came in tidy style and he has to be considered seriously. |
16/1 |

1st 9 (3) |
19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 57y Class 3 |

Won twice for Gemma Tutty, including when pouncing late at Lingfield (1m4f, Class 4; 11-4) in September; finished last of three in a tactical affair over 12.5f here (4-7 favourite) in October and has since changed hands for 47,000gns; tongue-tie added; new trip for stable debut. |

13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |

Blew the start at Windsor (1m2f, good) on debut but beaten more than double the distance when hooded at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) one week later, at 150-1 in both; best watched for the time being. |
