23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-10 but he's gone close on a couple of occasions, including when beaten a neck in Lingfield nursery (6f, AW) in November; favourite but only fourth of eight behind Akabusi at Newmarket (6f, good) last Friday; needs more. |
9/1 |

4th 2 (9) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden who had some useful 2yo form, including in a competitive 7f handicap on this course before going close against a big improver over 6f on Lingfield AW in November; satisfactory reappearance in March but was seriously hampered at Ripon since; interesting contender. |
15/8 |

5th 3 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-8; lost out in tight finishes at Musselburgh (5f novice) and Lingfield (6f nursery) as a juvenile; gelded over the winter and fifth of eight on Kempton return (7f; 14-1, beaten 4l) six weeks ago; 1lb lower but likely needs a fraction more. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
400,000euros breeze-up purchase who is now 0-7; not beaten far on his Newmarket return (7f, good) last month and had excuses at Kempton (1m, AW) last time; blinkers now given a go, but he does need to find a bit more. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
400,000euros breeze-up buy who proved expensive to follow in maiden/novice company over 6f last year; just a fair comeback at Newmarket three weeks ago, upped to 7f on on his handicap debut, and needs improvement for today's extra furlong. |
8/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
400,000euros breeze-up buy who failed to live up to expectations over 6f last year, for all that he was placed three times; chance of belated progress depends on the effects of new trip and switch to handicap level. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
9,000euros yearling, £500,000 (breeze-up) 2yo; by Kodi Bear; dam 7f 2yo winner (RPR 92) out of an unraced sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner Galatee (dam of Group 2 winners Dartmouth and Manatee); lots to like on paper for his powerful connections who won this last year with subsequent dual Group 1 scorer Shadow Of Light. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won Yarmouth maiden (6f, good to firm) last July but he's found things tough in four handicaps since; dropped another 3lb but he was beaten 11l at Ascot last month and he needs a transformation back in trip; blinkers added. |
14/1 |
|
7th 9 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to progress from last summer's 6f maiden win but made quite encouraging seasonal debut when keeping-on sixth of 14 in Class 2 Newbury handicap (7f, good) last month, and looks well worth a crack at 1m. |
12/1 |
|
6th 12 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
6f maiden win last summer; unplaced in good nurseries at York and Doncaster when last seen; gelded during his absence; needs to raise his game. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Fifth of 13 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) before fourth in a valuable seller at Chester (7f, good) where he had to make his ground up out wide; drops back to 6f with claims. |
9/1 |
|
6 (5) |
13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Brother to a Listed winner; fifth of 13 in what looked an above-average Windsor novice (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago and features prominently in calculations here. |
5/1 |
|
5th 10 (12) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
62,000gns foal; brother to 5.5f-6.5f winner Room Service (including 2yo/Listed; RPR 115), half-brother to winners Royal Advice (6f/7f; 80) and Green Clover (Polish 1m-1m2f including 2yo); dam placed 8.6f/1m1f, out of 1m4f/1m5f winner; yard 10% with 2yos last year and market should guide on debut. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden; bettered inauspicious seasonal/stable debut when fifth of eight at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) last month and, with this return to 7f likely to suit, could plausibly take another step forward here. |
16/1 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best effort for John Ryan (from whom he was picked up for 10,000gns) last year came on the AW; poor debut effort for his new yard a month ago and needs to improve a lot on that. |
20/1 |
|
10th 11 (3) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Placed in a 7f AW novice on his third run as a 2yo; well beaten over a mile when last seen in September; sold out of John Ryan's stable for 10,000gns in February; likely best watched on his stable/handicap debut. |
25/1 |
