13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
1m6f Listed winner on Flat who was sold for 600,000gns later in October; flopped at long odds-on for hurdling debut at Musselburgh last month; brought out just six days later for Grade 2 at Kempton (again good to soft) where he did better, but was weakening when hampered two out; should get the hang of this discipline in due course, but probably too late to feature in this finish. |
66/1 |

3rd 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
1m6f Listed winner on Flat who changed hands for 600,000gns last autumn; went off long odds-on for hurdling debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) last Sunday but compromised his chance by racing freely/jumping none too fluently and could finish only fourth; it's far too soon to be writing him off but he needs a major leap forward just six days on. |
12/1 |

4th 8 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Progressive on the Flat for Andrew Balding and bagged Listed honours at Ascot (1m6f, good to soft) on last appearance; sold for 600,000gns later in October; withdrawn at Newbury last weekend due to heavy ground; market mover for the Triumph and looks a very interesting hurdles prospect. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Made debut in June and was runner-up over 1m2f on first two starts (good to soft/good to firm) before bolting up at Kempton (1m4f, AW); this well-bred 3yo has potential off her opening mark and her trainer has won four of the last nine runnings with 3yos. |

20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Runner-up in 1m2f maiden/novice events at Ffos Las and Windsor this summer, hanging left in the closing stages on each occasion; capable of better and the extra yardage should be within range; more appealing than many. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has been running creditably on the AW this year (in the frame on last three starts, all over 2m at Southwell); could go well, but below best three previous runs on turf. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
One win from 12 starts; posted a solid effort when third of nine in first-time blinkers here in February and probably would have benefited from a stronger gallop when fourth over C&D 35 days ago (Charlie Darling was third); claims. |
5/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Broadly sound AW form since October features an account-opening win over 1m6f; posted a solid-looking effort in new headgear (blinkers) over C&D most recently; runs off the same mark and Conor Whiteley takes off a bonus 7b; highly respected. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Placed three times over 7f-1m on Kempton's Polytrack; a repeat of his better efforts in handicaps would give him another chance of being involved but he has to prove he can see out this trip. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 10 (7) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Six-race maiden whose form since handicapping features a couple of third-place finishes over 7f at Kempton; worth another go at 1m; possibilities off same mark. |
9/2 |

6 (3) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Never landed a blow at Windsor (1m) on Monday; showed improvement with close third over C&D (AW/handicap debut) the time before and that form puts him in the picture off same mark. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Winning handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last August; didn't fire in the same way back at Kempton (1m3f) next time but resumed his progression in no uncertain terms when close second in valuable 3yo handicap at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on final start, form which was strongly boosted last weekend by the winner (Yabher) and third (Daiquiri Bay); could have a big say if the betting suggests he's ready to roll after 211 days off. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 12 (2) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Promising debut (good to firm) on sole run as 2yo; lived up to that on third attempt when winning his handicap debut at Kempton (upped to 1m4f, AW) in August but he did not fire in the same way back at Kempton (1m3f) 16 days ago; needs to resume progress. |
20/1 |
|
6th 10 (11) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promising debut on turf one year ago and came right back to that form, and more, when beating 12 others to make winning handicap debut upped to 1m4f here six weeks ago; 6lb higher but he's got a useful pedigree and almost certainly has best days in front of him. |

18th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
33-1 and 20-1 on his first two starts and he's finished down the field each time (7.6f/1m2f); needs a huge step forward. |
50/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Showed his inexperience and was unable to land a significant blow when seventh of ten on recent debut at Lingfield (7.6f, good); may fare better over this longer trip and with that experience under his belt but others in this line-up have much stronger claims. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
His first two runs were promising and he quickly put a poor run at Ffos Las behind him (gelded after) when making a successful handicap debut over C&D four weeks ago; up 6lb but should still have his best days ahead of him. |
6/1 |
|
7 (2) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Shaped well in April when fourth on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) and third of 14 at Ayr (1m, good) but he was beaten 26l at Ffos Las (1m2f, good to soft) 66 days ago; gelded since and drops back to 1m on his handicap debut; check the market. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Showed fair form when keeping on and making the frame on both starts in April (7f, AW/1m, good); will be right in the thick of things here if this new trip unlocks any improvement. |

0-7; fourth in both starts this year, a 0-55 handicap at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) and a 0-50 classified event at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta); frame material based on those efforts. |
8/1 |

4th 2 (2) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5yo who showed his first signs of ability when fourth of 12 on handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack; 50-1) last month; still lightly raced and cheekpieces are now added but he needs to build on that last run. |
13/2 |
|
4th 12 (11) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |

Huge prices and no threat across both codes; may do better now handicapping but only market support would make him of interest. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
11-race maiden for whom the drop back to 7f isn't an obvious positive; however, he could he sharper in the first-time visor and he was denied a clear run when fourth of 15 at Newbury (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, when no match for three improving, fellow 3yos; could be a contender. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (10) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-10 albeit in the frame on ten occasions, as when beaten a head into second of four in a Wolverhampton maiden (9.5f, AW) a fortnight ago; this looks a competitive race in which to attempt to break his duck, though. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Useful form in defeat as a 2yo; comparable efforts in handicap company at Goodwood (1m, good) in May and at Southwell nine days ago; leading form claims but could be vulnerable to something less exposed. |
2/1 |
