21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
A dual winner over the extended 7f at Ffos Las (good/soft) last August; made an encouraging return when fifth over 7f at Kempton in March but well held back on turf at Leicester 12 days ago. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
A dual 7f winner last August and she made an encouraging return when fifth in 7f Kempton handicap in March; this course winner needs considering. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dual Ffos Las winner over this trip last August who resumes on a workable mark having lost her way latterly; nothing to suggest she's best caught fresh and she'll need to improve on previous AW efforts. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

Bits of form last year that bring him into the reckoning off his reduced mark; return to 1m may help but others appeal more for win purposes. |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Both turf wins on soft and stepped up on more favourable conditions with two decent efforts at Ffos Las in June, latest when fifth of 12 (7.5f, soft); has place claims at least. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins from 32 starts; unlucky not to go closer when fourth of 11 here over 6f last month but he failed to build on that when seventh here ten days ago; steps back up to 7f. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Losing run up to 19, but he has dropped a long way in the weights and met all sorts of trouble when fourth of 11 over C&D last time (Starsong second); withdrawn at the start on vet's advice in the race won by Good Earth here ten days ago; worth considering. |
4/1 |
|
10 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
He has never been prolific but lurks on a dangerous mark and his latest unlucky-in-running fourth over C&D served notice he was ready to strike; high on the list. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Solid start to his career with a pair of seconds at Salisbury last July; not in same form since and is perhaps best watched unless the market suggests a turnaround is likely. |
33/1 |
|
8th 9 (6) |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Can race freely and didn't get home over 1m on handicap debut at Newmarket in November when last seen; there was sufficient promise in his qualifying runs (6f/7f) to believe he can win races off this mark. |
8/1 |

12th 2 (9) |
1st Nov 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Early promise over 7f and 6f (good and good to firm); not so good on AW and on good to soft at Yarmouth since, when racing freely back at 6f; will get more cover today but has to prove stamina for 1m on handicap debut. |

Record is only 1-15 and it's 15 months since the win; however, has clear possibilities on these terms switched to a seller, provided he takes well to added blinkers. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Bumped into one at Haydock and his subsequent flop as favourite can be ignored, with him said to have pulled too hard on soft ground; this mark ought to be within range. |
8/1 |

4 (2) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Reduced mark and showed signs of a return to form in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Ffos Las in June; duly stepped up when second of 12 at Haydock (7f, good) last month; back up 3lb and another for the shortlist. |

Back-to-back wins at Ffos Las and Galway in June/July proved the highlight of his 2025 campaign; promising seasonal return when fourth of 16 at Doncaster three weeks ago; needs to take a step forward. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Her optimum trip is hard to gauge but her best effort came in her one attempt on soft ground (7.4f); dropping down the weights and she's not ruled out. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Chased home Miss Chester here in May (7f maiden); just one real blip since but didn't improve for going beyond 1m the last twice; safer elsewhere. |

6th 2 (1) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-11 but he has not been with Jim Goldie long and his latest Musselburgh third (1m, good) was encouraging; Paul Mulrennan replaces an apprentice today and a bigger effort could be forthcoming. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 12 (13) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
0-10 and has come seventh on his three starts for this yard (7f/6f); however, he hasn't been running badly, with his latest effort coming in a big field at Thirsk, and there have been hints that his return to 1m may suit. |
16/1 |
|
7th 11 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

0-9 but he hasn't been with Jim Goldie for long and getting back on turf should help; drop back to 6f another possible source of improvement. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Four wins divided between AW and turf; ideally positioned through the race when narrowly scoring at Kempton (7f) but this consistent 4yo has clear claims. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won on stable debut at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in December and back near that level when 1l fourth there (7f) ten days ago; also effective over this C&D and could have a big part to play under regular rider Harry Vigors. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Record of 113, all at about 1m on AW, since wearing cheekpieces; latest effort suggests this longer trip is worth exploring; remains of interest in the retained headgear. |
7/2 |
|
2 (1) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Modest in his first five starts but the application of cheekpieces seems to have helped, winning at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) before following up at Kempton (1m, AW) 24 days ago; up 6lb and has to be respected in his bid for the hat-trick. |
