9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who was gelded prior to justifying favouritism with 1l success at Kempton (7f) on AW/seasonal debut, opening his handicap account and taking overall record to 3-9; this Wathnan Racing runner may well be capable of further improvement; ties in closely with Mudbir on Sandown running last July; major contender. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Good efforts in 7f handicaps at Sandown and Goodwood last July; had excuses at Doncaster when last seen; been gelded since; on a good mark but this free-going sort could do with settling better. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Last year's two wins were at 6f (one on good to soft) but this is looking his trip after competitive shows in strong handicaps at Sandown and Goodwood; it was a deep race last time and two of the three ahead of him dominated an Ascot handicap last weekend; firmly in the mix. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Did well at Meydan earlier in the year (7f/1m) and was a close third at Sandown (7f, good to firm) last month but he didn't really fire at Newmarket (third of six) last time; that took his record to 1-10 and others are more persuasive. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Did well at Meydan earlier in the year (7f/1m) and bounced back from his no-show in the Britannia with a close third at Sandown (7f, good to firm) to Mudbir who went in again last week at Goodwood; interesting off an untouched mark. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Form figures of 121 to start his career in the spring, including a 1m win off this mark at Goodwood on handicap debut, but he's not lived up to that; gelded before penultimate start, which was a fair effort at Ascot, but he did not show much at Ayr on latest (both on soft). |
14/1 |
|
11th 9 (9) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Spring performances over 1m (121) represented a very solid start to his career; came up well short in a pair of strong 3yo-only handicaps in the summer but back on track after a gelding operation when fourth of 11 at Ascot (7f, soft) 15 days ago; that was his first outing for two months so he might come on for it; not discounted. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Well-bred colt whose record of 3-6 overall and 2-3 in handicaps (7f) features a narrow win at Glorious Goodwood; hindered by traffic issues at same venue when last seen (effort best forgiven); cheekpieces worn that day are retained; beat Defence Minister by half a length at Sandown last July; still open to further progress and remains of strong interest. |
11/2 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Held on narrowly, having hung briefly left, in 3yo handicap over 7f at Glorious Goodwood to take record to 3-5; this well-bred colt may improve further, provided he takes to first-time headgear; on the shortlist. |
9/2 |

1st 12 (1) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Showed promise on soft ground on debut; proved suited by drop back to 7f in Sandown handicap (good to firm) most recently, holding on by half a length and taking record to 2151; bred to do better still, being a sibling to two Group 1 scorers for his connections; respected up just 2lb. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |

Sometimes races too freely, including when last seen, but otherwise a progressive 7f filly and her form includes good efforts in difficult circumstances at two major festivals last August; remains of interest. |

Performed well, despite things not going totally smoothly, in warm 7f handicaps at Glorious Goodwood (went very close) and the York Ebor festival last month; still open to further progress; major player. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to win a handicap but not for a lack of effort and he ran well for second over C&D last month; perhaps stretched by 1m2f at Lingfield last month and he is one to take seriously back down in trip. |
3/1 |
|
11th 8 (4) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came in a Lingfield maiden (6f, AW) a year ago, but is back off the same mark as when beaten half a length over C&D (good to firm) in May; soft ground not a problem and each-way claims if reproducing that form. |
12/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

6f AW maiden winner who seems to stay this trip; not at best on last three starts (hung left returned to AW last time) and will have to fare better if he's to win this. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Talented on AW and had more in hand than the narrow winning margin suggests when arriving late on the scene at Wolverhampton (about 1m) in November; was carried out of his ground when starting a forward move over C&D (good to firm) recently and has to be of interest in this lower grade. |
4/1 |

9th 9 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has looked quirky on occasions but he produced a decidedly useful effort when coming with a strong run to get up late in 8.6f Wolverhampton handicap in November; matched that form when a close third there on reappearance six weeks ago; won a fast-ground novice on turf last year (also second here on debut); one of two solid contenders for James Tate. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 (11) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Has looked quirky on occasions but he came wide and late for a short-head win (from Zryan) over C&D on latest outing, making it three wins from six starts; off 132 days since but raised just 3lb and needs major attention as one of the least exposed runners in this line-up. |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won in spite of some errant tendencies on his 2yo debut last July (6f, good to firm); struggled in a Group 2 next time and two handicap runs this summer (after a gelding operation) haven't been chock full of promise; edging down the weights but others look more appealing. |
16/1 |

5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Slowly away and never involved on reappearance kept to 6f, making it two defeats since debut win; may rebound at some stage but pedigree suggests he's not screaming for this extra furlong. |
16/1 |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Overcame evident inexperience to win a Windsor novice (6f, good to firm) on his 2yo debut last July; last of nine in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood when last seen 314 days ago; gelded prior to his reappearance/handicap debut; unexposed. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
She made a promising start to her career and has tumbled down the weights, but she's struggled to get competitive this season and a major turnaround is needed in a first-time tongue-tie and reapplied hood. |
20/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Kicked off her 2025 campaign in the Group 3 Nell Gwyn Stakes and didn't run too badly; has had six starts in handicaps since but she's struggled in all of them including four runs this year; mark has nosedived but she's has a lot to prove at this new trip; hood removed. |
33/1 |
|
13th 6 (17) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Kicked off her 2025 campaign in the Group 3 Nell Gwyn Stakes and didn't run too badly; subsequent handicap efforts have been poor, beating just two rivals home in five attempts; dropped 23lb but doesn't look ready to capitalise just yet. |
