1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Won on the nod at Doncaster (good to firm) last time, looking suited by the step up to 7f and surging back to form; unexposed over this trip and may remain competitive, provided he takes to first-time cheekpieces (faced difficult task when once in blinkers). |
12/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Highly tried after winning a York maiden (6f, good to firm) and a Newbury novice (6f, good) last season; gelded in November; disappointing this season; first run at 7f. |

Highly tried last term after novice success; never figured in Windsor handicap on reappearance but may fare better with the outing under his belt; check the betting. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
No show on his only outing on softer than good; only one win from his 16 races but it was over C&D (April) in his only go at this track; below form in three of his last four starts but drops back in class today. |
7/1 |
|
10th 8 (8) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Gained a first success at Ripon (6f) in April; mainly in good form since, though only ninth of 12 in 5.5f York handicap last month; no surprise to see him get back on track here. |
12/1 |

Just one win (6f, good) to his name from 14 attempts and that came at a lower level; others bring greater potential this time. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Took a big step forward after seven months off/gelded when getting off the mark in C&D handicap 19 days ago; this son of Lope Y Ferndanez can make his presence felt despite a 5lb rise. |
11/2 |
|
1st 7 (12) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2025 with a second to the reopposing Willowinghurn on 7f Musselburgh handicap debut (soft); may have more to offer in 2026 but the betting is perhaps the best guide as to whether he's likely to be fully primed for this first outing in 196 days (has been gelded). |
10/1 |
|
1 (3) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Third at Catterick (7f, soft) in July on third start then runner-up in maiden over this C&D (good) last time; can give another good account and could be in the mix on nursery debut. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) early last month saw him off the mark at tenth attempt; flopped on soft ground next time but also needs to step up from his fair fourth to Jujubella over C&D (second-time cheekpieces) 15 days ago. |
11/2 |
|
4th 7 (11) |
1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt when justifying support with a clearcut win at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) last month; flopped at Ayr last time but that was on soft ground and he's a player if he can bounce back on this return to AW; cheekpieces reapplied. |
13/2 |
|
10th 6 (11) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two near-misses on turf in July (1m3f/12.2f, good) and this 3yo got off the mark at the tenth attempt at Southwell (1m4f, AW) a fortnight ago, winning by 2l having been ridden more patiently than usual; unexposed under such tactics and can go well if handling the ground (unproven on slow ground). |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Thirsk maiden (5f, good to firm) last August on his third start but things haven't gone to plan subsequently, including when he was beaten 18l on his comeback in June after wind surgery; rested since and a leap of faith is required at present. |
20/1 |
|
12th 4 (10) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
A good start to his career included a Thirsk maiden (5f, good to firm) win in August but his form tailed off (mitigating circumstances) subsequently and he was never a factor when beating one home on his return at Thirsk in April; off since. |
20/1 |
|
13th 7 (14) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Made all when beating The Lost Sock by a head over C&D last August; came up short in stronger races twice afterwards but there were mitigating factors; one of three runners for Kevin Ryan. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Reappeared with a convincing C&D win (good ground) but hasn't built on that at all; gelded before finishing down the field at Ascot three weeks ago and now cheekpieces are fitted; needs to get back on track. |
9/1 |
|
14th 7 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Reappeared with a convincing handicap win at Newbury (7f, good) in April; underwhelming favourite in Listed races at Newmarket and Epsom on next two starts but gelded since and returns to a handicap this afternoon, and he could have a part to play if rediscovering the Newbury form. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Bit disappointing in similar event at Newmarket last time but otherwise a broadly progressive colt and can't be written off; ready winner of useful handicap at Newbury (7f, good) in his only other start this term. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
In the frame on all his three runs as 2yo; visored and failed to improve on his handicap debut when fifth of eight on Southwell AW (7f) in January; cheekpieces fitted with more required after a break. |
14/1 |
|
7 (2) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Just about held on for fourth when sent off joint-favourite for debut at York last month (6f, good to firm); this 360,000gns breeze-up buy is surely capable of better; left in Gimcrack after Tuesday's acceptance stage. |
6/4 |
|
7 (6) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
360,000gns breeze-up 2yo; seventh foal; closely related to winners Byzantium (Listed-placed 6f 2yo; RPR 101) and Senorita Grande (6f AW; 66), half-brother to winners New Road Side (5f including 2yo; 84) and Pak Choi (7f AW; 80); dam 5f winner (81); interesting newcomer for a stable that won this in 2016 and 2017. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Gelded prior to showing a bit of improvement in Ascot maiden (soft) in September and he stepped up again on handicap debut when third of seven at Epsom (also 7f, good) three weeks later; this 260,000gns breeze-up purchase might be capable of better yet. |

7 (5) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded prior to showing a bit of improvement in Ascot maiden (7f) last time; this 260,000gns breeze-up purchase could take another step forward on nursery debut; interesting. |
6/1 |
|
7 (5) |
5th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
260,000gns breeze-up 2yo who has disappointed in two starts; still early days but a gelding operation will need to have made an immediate impact if he's to play a part here. |
