13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in four of his five races, latterly in a small field on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m6f); this is deeper but can win a race off this mark and cheekpieces now go on. |

2nd 3 (1) |
12th May 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Better as he's gained experience and gone up in distance, culminating in a second over 1m4f here on his comeback early last month; should be competitive off this sort of mark now handicapping under Billy Loughnane, who's 4-16 for the yard. |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Reliable and progressive since sent into handicaps, including for a Hamilton win (1m4f, good) on penultimate start and close third at Sandown (1m6f, good) on latest; the latter was behind a Prescott-trained improver and the problem is that he faces another of those today. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Consistent since sent into handicaps and had a bit up his sleeve at Hamilton 16 days ago (1m4f, good); 4lb rise is fair and interesting now sent further as his dam was a smart stayer. |
11/4 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
28th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two fair runs in 1m4f AW handicaps; likely needs more for the return to turf and longer trips might be his destiny as dam was a 1m6f Listed winner who finished third in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes, and whose winning offspring include a 2m winner; still not ruled out for yard that won this in 2024. |

Improved this season, winning at Sandown in July (1m6f, good) and following up with two sound placed efforts at Goodwood (1m6f/2m, soft/good); each-way chance. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Consistent filly who has raced mostly over 1m6f, winning twice, including at Sandown on penultimate start; placed over 2m at Goodwood latest; solid chance back down in distance. |
9/2 |

3rd 8 (5) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
First two wins were on soft and heavy; has improved with each run this term, last time dealing with fast ground to beat Knight Templar at Sandown (1m6f); a 3lb rise isn't too damaging and she's hard to knock. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Hasn't progressed from his debut run and beat one home on handicap debut at Windsor (1m3f) when tried in a hood; others are more intriguing. |
14/1 |

19th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Shaped with promise on his Wolverhampton debut (8.6f) in March but he's struggled after pulling hard in his last two starts (1m2f); still early days and hood is now added on handicap debut but he needs to settle much better to make an impact. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Latest Flat start was his first win, by 7l in a four-runner race at Pontefract (2m1f, good to firm) last August for Ollie Sangster; seven races over hurdles for new connections, winning two (2m5f/2m3f) of the last three; probably has a good mark, so needs a second look, but this is a step up in class. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |

Fair Flat racer who won easily over hurdles at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in April, his second handicap; well beaten in valuable Fakenham contest since but back in calmer waters and on a more conventional track here; remains of interest, albeit the forecast rain may not be in his favour. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Scored over C&D when hiked up in trip for seasonal/handicap debut in April but not a great deal has gone to plan since; reverts to the Flat after two disappointing hurdle runs; needs to get career back on track. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Fair Flat racer who won 1m4f AW handicap in April (RPR 68); soundly beaten after racing too freely on last month's hurdling debut at Fontwell (good to soft) but might be seen to better effect on the quicker ground here. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |

From a good yard but has struggled in three turf handicaps; did hint at promise in his qualifying runs on AW and needs the return to Polytrack to give him something extra. |

Lightly raced gelding who ran well for a long way over C&D (third of six) three weeks ago and that was behind a well-handicapped rival who won by 4l; should benefit from that reappearance run and he still has potential as a handicapper. |

10st 1lb |
Has led; both wins at 2m on the AW and turf (good) last autumn when with Emma Lavelle; better than ever on final two starts for her in the spring and there have been trip (2m4f) then going and track excuses (good to soft at Chester) for this yard since; revival possible. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Bit to prove on softer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; made most when well beaten trying 2m4f in a Class 2 at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago but has a competitive mark in this Class 4. |
3/1 |

Not proven on firmer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; has a competitive mark and possibilities going beyond 2m, but this is also a better race. |
