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 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Second in a maiden here last September; best form in valuable sales races (also 7f) on next two outings but nowhere near repeating it in his two starts this term; hampered early in a York handicap last time (7f; 22-1) and this is a major rethink on his trip, but none too persuasive. |
18/1 |
|
14th 10 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Ran creditably in valuable contest over C&D last autumn but remains a maiden and has a bit to prove off his mark in this warm handicap; failed to show his form at Thirsk (behind Inishbeg) on reappearance. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
0-7 last year but quite consistent, close fifth at York (7f, good) on final start; subsequently gelded; far more solid than most of these and likely to be in the thick of things after his winter break. |

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 May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Pretty useful in two of his five efforts as 2yo; second favourite for handicap/seasonal debut over C&D (good) 18 days ago but weakened in the final 1f into fourth of eight; that was creditable but he needs to build on it. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Close second in a Goodwood maiden (7f, good to soft) and dominant novice win at Salisbury (1m, heavy) were easily best of his five efforts as 2yo; two of the others were in France; needs to resume progress but will stay 1m2f and is one to consider. |
5/1 |
|
5 (8) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Entered in the Royal Lodge and the Dewhurst; dropped out tamely in a French Group 3 last time but had run really well to push a promising Ballydoyle prospect close in a 7f maiden at Glorious Goodwood (good to soft); hard to beat if returning to that level. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Twice-raced colt who proved game with the hood fitted at Kempton (7f, AW) last time, turning over an odds-on Godolphin runner; may have more to offer in the retained headgear but this is a much stiffer task. |
14/1 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
$80,000 yearling, 240,000gns (breeze-up) 2yo; met traffic issues on his way to staying-on sixth of nine at Haydock (7f) and that effort can be marked up; now goes in hood; one of the likelier players. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
3rd Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
$80,000 yearling, 240,000gns 2yo breeze-ups; by Munnings; second foal; dam once-raced half-sister to US winners Family Tree (8.5f Grade 2) and Liora (8.5f 2yo Grade 2); purchase price means he's entitled to respect on debut. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Confirmed earlier promise for his current yard to gain a first win in 6f Windsor handicap three days ago; scored readily there so big shout under a penalty with talented claimer Harry Vigors in the saddle. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 (12) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Faded over 5f here on handicap debut and final start for the Gosdens; ran well when a staying-on fourth on Lingfield AW (7f) in March on second start for this yard but dropped right out at Leicester since (also 7f; hood refitted, now discarded); suspicion for now that the AW may suit best. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-6 but he's reached the frame in two handicaps for his current yard and was beaten less than 2l at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month; hasn't looked entirely straightforward but he didn't get the best of runs last time and he's in the mix back on turf; hood reapplied |

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. |
