6th 3 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner this year but he's fine on turf too and ran creditably when second of ten at Musselburgh (again 1m, good) in April; up 5lb for latest Kempton success three weeks ago but likely he can do better again. |
11/2 |

1st 1 (3) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Solid effort to justify favouritism on his C&D comeback in March, having been gelded, when held up off an ordinary pace; backed that up when one of three to come away behind a cannily ridden winner on turf latest and holds leading claims upped 2lb. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive and having been gelded he did it nicely when making a successful handicap/seasonal debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last month; 3lb rise doesn't look harsh now returned to turf and high on list from the rails draw. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promise in Britain as a 2yo before winning a 1m1f conditions event in France last August; well held in a 1m2f conditions event at Chantilly last month (soft ground); not obviously well treated back in a handicap but new cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Definite promise when third in a Newbury novice (6.5f, good) and an Ayr maiden (6f, good to soft) on last two starts; worth considering up in trip on handicap debut. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
6th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both starts at Newbury, better effort when third over 6.5f last time; however, gives the impression he'll be ideally suited by 7f+ which means this drop back to a bare 6f is a negative. |

3rd 4 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Maiden and novice winner (6f, good to firm/good) last summer who was a shade disappointing when fifth of ten on handicap debut at Newbury (good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and his neck second of 13 at Newmarket (also 7f, good) was much more like it on his comeback last month; mixed messages have come out of that race but still commands plenty of respect. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gelded since never landing a blow in Newbury nursery (7f) on final 2yo start when bidding for a hat-trick after maiden/novice wins over 6f; represents major stable and may still have more to offer; not written off. |
8/1 |
|
5 (9) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ran green on debut here (6.5f) in June but he left that form a long way behind when winning at Haydock (good to firm) last month; had to roll his sleeves up but it was still another step forward when defying a penalty at Carlisle (also 6f, good) 18 days ago; considered on handicap debut. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Absent and gelded since finishing last of seven in Newmarket Group 2 last July; solid novice form otherwise, culminating in Newbury success from the front (6.5f, good); may still have more to offer and looks interesting dropped back in class. |
7/1 |
|
3 (7) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Thrice-raced colt who proved suited by the step up to 6.5f (from 5f) at Newbury most recently and could well build on that win; bred to rate higher, being half-brother to a Group 3 scorer for his yard. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Eased once beaten upped to 1m on Good Friday when bidding for an AW double; consistent sort otherwise, including on turf last year, and may rebound; however, balance of form suggests he's no certainty to defy his mark on handicap debut. |
16/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive in defeat on turf across his four 2yo starts and he reappeared with a novice win at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) 16 days ago, when odds-on; further improvement is necessary if he's to follow up today, but that can't be ruled out and there's every chance 1m will be fine; yard in good form. |
4/1 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Improved with each start last year (in RPR terms), culminating in excellent fourth in valuable sales race at the Curragh (7f); the winner of that contest won a Group 3 next time, the second went on to land a Local Group 2 in Qatar and the third was sent off 100-30 for the Fillies' Mile on her next outing; sets the standard on AW debut; trainer/jockey took both divisions of this in 2025. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Had some good form in defeat prior to landing an AW maiden last October (6f; 1-4 favourite); not at his best at Kempton in March but this mark is in range judged on his fourth at York's Ebor meeting. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Fourth in big-field York Ebor meeting nursery off 1lb lower last summer and ended his first campaign with 6f Chelmsford maiden win (AW debut); claims if ready to roll after 146 days off. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 343 since being gelded features good efforts in maiden/nursery at major summer festivals; beaten favourite at Thirsk (again over 6f) most recently but in this field he's perhaps worth another chance. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Down the field at long odds both starts; needs first-time headgear to have a transformative effect. |

|
9th 8 (6) |
3rd Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
50-1 when down the field on debut at Newbury (6.5f, good) three weeks ago and he's probably best watched for now. |
66/1 |
|
9 (5) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 110y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
£42,000 yearling; first foal; dam 7f AW 2yo winner (RPR 76) from talented family; gelded; others are more compelling than this Mehmas newcomer. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Confirmed earlier promise for his current yard to gain a first win in 6f Windsor handicap three days ago; scored readily there so big shout under a penalty with talented claimer Harry Vigors in the saddle. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 (12) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Faded over 5f here on handicap debut and final start for the Gosdens; ran well when a staying-on fourth on Lingfield AW (7f) in March on second start for this yard but dropped right out at Leicester since (also 7f; hood refitted, now discarded); suspicion for now that the AW may suit best. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-6 but he's reached the frame in two handicaps for his current yard and was beaten less than 2l at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month; hasn't looked entirely straightforward but he didn't get the best of runs last time and he's in the mix back on turf; hood reapplied |
