13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Got off the mark at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Andrew Balding but she's struggled in three starts since joining this stable; switches back to turf having been dropped another 3lb. |
40/1 |

10th 3 (1) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Brighton winner for Andrew Balding (1m, good to firm) last summer, but well beaten in both starts for this yard and has shown little in three goes on the AW; plenty to prove after six months off. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Progressive for Andrew Balding this summer, getting off the mark in a 1m handicap at Brighton in June; dropped away on stable debut at Sandown six weeks ago (1m, soft) and she will need to leave that effort well behind. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who won three handicaps last year, including in a big field at York (1m, good) in September; campaign ended with two lesser runs and off since, but he's just 1lb higher than at York and is not written off. |
40/1 |

10th 12 (11) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner; two C&D wins this summer and went in again in a big field at York (1m, good) under Sam Feilden last month; faded over 1m2f there a fortnight ago but can bounce back returned to shorter; acts on heavy. |

16th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Promising debut on turf last August but he ran poorly on Tapeta next time and in two handicaps for previous trainer; showed more when a staying-on fourth of 12 at Windsor (1m) 15 days ago on yard debut and has a good run in him despite the unfavourable terms. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 (11) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made a promising debut last August (7.6f, good to soft) but that remains his standout effort and he has finished down the field in two handicap runs this summer; sold out of Michael Bell's yard for 1,500gns in July; new yard have made their name reviving stock from elsewhere so he's one to note on his stable debut; hood joins the blinkers today. |
14/1 |
|
3 (2) |
29th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has failed to back up debut effort and a switch to handicap level made no difference last time (1m2f); chance largely depends on whether first-time headgear prompts improvement. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Running consistently off his higher AW mark (almost a stone lower on turf), including for new yard five weeks ago; has only gone beyond 1m once before, though, and the longer trip on grass is the double concern. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Tapeta win early last year came off 5lb lower and he's looked to find this mark just beyond him this season; needs a career-best effort for his new yard, having been picked up from Brian Meehan recently for £12,500. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win to his name from 16 attempts but he has run well in two of his three starts this year, including C&D; that said, he wouldn't appear to have much in hand of his mark. |

11st 6lb |
17,000euros yearling was purchased for 40,000gns as a 2yo; half-brother to winners Rajinsky (7f-2m2f inc 2yo/AW/Listed; RPR 116), Bakhit (1m2f inc AW; 70) and Karamazov (Slovakian 1m 2yo); dam maiden from 5.7f-1m1f (60), half-sister to 1m Listed winner Boomshackerlacker; hooded and tongue tied for debut. |
25/1 |

5 (3) |
4th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two respectable efforts in 1m handicaps this year but his finishing has been suspect when attempting this far, finishing last on both occasions; has plenty to prove for now. |
14/1 |
|
5 (5) |
29th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden who has inconsistent form; not especially solid but may show the benefit of this return to Ffos Las, having registered his peak effort here (7.4f, heavy) last August. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-race maiden who dropped right away in 1m2f event most recently; has shown some promise in two attempts over 1m, both at Windsor, and the return to this distance looks a plus. |
25/1 |
|
11 (7) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No real improvement on his handicap debut behind Bownder recently for a yard that's had a quiet first half of the year; headgear is tried as he steps up from 1m (stamina not assured on pedigree). |
14/1 |
|
4 (7) |
26th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

The closest he's come when beaten under over 5l in a C&D maiden four weeks ago; the type to be more competitive in handicaps. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Good start for new stable when third of nine at Kempton (1m) in May; ready win at Ffos Las the following month (1m, soft) and although she was only midfield at Kempton five weeks ago, she could resume her progress back on turf; rain would help. |
4/1 |

5th 3 (2) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Finished a close third of nine on her stable/handicap debut over C&D in May and got off the mark at Ffos Las (1m, soft) the following month; seems to be progressing and respected off 3lb higher. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has lacked consistency for current stable but is only 1lb higher than when recording an account-opening success on AW in December; fighting chance provided he's back in similar form. |
7/1 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13th time lucky when winning a 9.4f handicap at Wolverhampton in December; not so good twice in January and now returns from an 11-week break; Oisin Murphy booked so a better showing would seem likely. |
12/1 |

8th 4 (6) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13th time lucky when justifying support at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) last month; didn't fire back at that track three weeks ago but his penultimate form has worked out well and he's a player if he can get back near that level. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over 1m on reappearance at Bath and has run respectably on four of last five outings; no reason why he shouldn't give a good account. |
4/1 |
|
2 (1) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all to make a winning handicap debut at Bath in June (1m, good); not used that as a springboard to better things and he wasn't at his best last time but no doubt he has the ability to feature. |
4/1 |
|
3 (8) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Resumed with 1m victory at Bath in June and largely in good form since, fifth of eight in 1m2f Ffos Las handicap 26 days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign in good form over the extended 7f at Ffos Las, recording an account-opening win prior to a respectable effort; the question is whether he can transfer the ability to AW on reappearance. |
12/1 |
|
2 (4) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His two best efforts have come here, the latest when narrowly getting off the mark over C&D (good) five weeks ago (third has won since); has run well on soft ground and shortlisted up 3lb. |
9/4 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
3yo who has shown ability but he's been well beaten on his last three starts (two of them handicaps) and is hard to fancy. |
50/1 |
