1st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
5-1, impressed when going in at the first time of asking in novice at Haydock (7f, good) last July, showing a good turn of foot; off since but this son of Starspangledbanner remains with plenty of potential. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |

52,000gns foal, 160,000gns yearling; tenth foal; Starspangledbanner half-brother to five winners notably Private Matter (5f-7f including 2yo Listed); trainer in fine form with 2yos and he's one to consider on debut, especially if strong in the betting. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won Kempton novice (7f, AW) last September on third start and followed up in warm conditions race at Newbury (1m, good to soft); failed to settle and didn't stay 1m2f in Group 3 Zetland Stakes at Newmarket last seen; wind op since and the hood could be a positive on reappearance; chance. |
13/2 |

4 (6) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Two seconds followed by a gelding operation and two wins; latest was in a traditionally strong conditions stakes at Newbury (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, always front rank; unraced on firmer than good; tricky to settle and carries his head high but he's been galloping on at 1m and looks his stable first string on jockey bookings. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Gelded prior to half-length success at Kempton (7f, AW) two weeks ago, taking novice record to 221; this Godolphin runner, who cost 400,000euros as a yearling, is open to further progress. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
3yo who ran well on slow ground last season and won in a first-time visor (retained since) at Chester (7.5f, good) in July; however, tailed off at 33-1 at Ripon (1m, good) and needs to bounce back from that flop. |
28/1 |
|
9th 8 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Back to form from out of the blue in a first-time visor when getting off the mark at the 11th time of asking at Chester (extended 7f, good) five weeks ago; plenty went his way (got a dream run through on the inner after leaders went hard) and wouldn't be an obvious type to follow up. |
16/1 |
|
1st 9 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ten-race maiden who has been out of sorts in his three runs this season; continues to drop down the weights but he needs a big turnaround back at this trip; visor added. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Consistent nursery form features a win at Leicester (7f) in August and close second at York (1m) last time; chance of defying these stiffer terms depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
11/1 |
|
2 (1) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won three-runner nursery at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in August and ran okay when fourth of eight at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; however, he needs a bigger run today against some unexposed rivals. |
5/1 |
|
3 (8) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Close second at Doncaster (good to soft) and game winner at Leicester (good to firm) since switched to nurseries, both over 7f; raised only 1lb for latest performance and may remain competitive. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won over 1m2f here in May on good to firm and has continued to run well, going in again at Hamilton in August (1m4f, good to soft; 5lb lower); up in the van throughout when beaten 2l in a big field at Leopardstown three weeks ago (1m5f); has got himself high in the weights but he usually gives his running. |
11/4 |
|
5th 7 (12) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Newmarket in May (1m2f, good to firm); unplaced twice before finishing a close third at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm); scored with a bit to spare in the Silver Bell at Hamilton on his first try at 1m4f; extra furlong should not be an issue, holds a leading chance. |
10/1 |

1st 8 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won a five-runner handicap at Newmarket in May (1m2f, good to firm) and fair runs since, last time finishing a close third at Goodwood (1m2f, good to firm); has won on testing ground; a possible on first try at 1m4f. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Back on the up with 1m Salisbury handicap success on good to soft 23 days ago; might have been helped by a position near the rail but there was plenty to like about the way he kept on finding; only 3lb higher and shouldn't have reached his limit after five starts. |
8/1 |
|
1st 6 (11) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Useful effort when winning on second start, making all over 7f on Kempton AW last August; a Group 3 next time proved too much, too soon, and he wasn't seen again until making his handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month, where he ran with more promise than the beaten distance suggests; drying ground a help and open to improvement. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Handicap debutant who has to overcome top weight and a near year-long absence but is worth noting if the market speaks favourably; faced a difficult task in the 2025 Solario when last seen; won on AW the time before. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
1lb higher than for his 6f win at Windsor in May; tackles this trip for the first time and has cheekpieces fitted; others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
8th 5 (11) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Gained a first win at Windsor (6f) in May and largely in good nick subsequently, coming in fourth of 11 in 7f AW Lingfield handicap 19 days ago; needs considering. |
10/1 |
|
4th 12 (8) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Close fourth over C&D in March and off the mark at Windsor (6f, good) in May; off 57 days before failing to figure at Wolverhampton (16-1) five weeks ago, but he's not ruled out. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Left good-ground debut behind when making all over 6f at Salisbury (good to firm) in July; turns out he faced a stiff task attempting to concede 7lb to last weekend's Kempton Group 3 winner Five Ways back there (6f, good to firm again) last month, sticking on for a clear second in a style which suggests this step back up to 7f may help on nursery debut; William Buick retains the ride; considered. |
6/1 |
|
1 (7) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Down the field at Haydock on last month's debut (7f, good) but he left that form behind when a front-running C&D winner three weeks ago (good to firm); he will need to improve again to defy a penalty but that's certainly not out of the question. |
7/4 |
|
5 (4) |
23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Always in rear and beat just one rival in 7f contest at Haydock, producing a modest RPR; doesn't look an imminent winner. |

Down the field at long odds both starts; needs first-time headgear to have a transformative effect. |

|
9th 8 (6) |
3rd Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
50-1 when down the field on debut at Newbury (6.5f, good) three weeks ago and he's probably best watched for now. |
66/1 |
|
9 (5) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 110y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
£42,000 yearling; first foal; dam 7f AW 2yo winner (RPR 76) from talented family; gelded; others are more compelling than this Mehmas newcomer. |
