24th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Chester (6f, good) last June on second start and comfortably followed up in novice there (6f, good) the following month; absent since and this handicap debut is a much tougher test of his credentials, but he's a bright prospect and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Needed the experience when a promising third on his Leicester debut and built on that when winning on rain-softened ground over C&D four weeks ago (few of those behind have been beaten at short prices since); needs more under a penalty. |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Weak 16-1 chance at Leicester (6f, good) and inexperience was very evident before he stayed on well for third behind a well-touted newcomer; improvement on the cards. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Finished behind Hello Isla over C&D 19 days ago but he ran creditably in the circumstances and new blinkers could prompt extra; dropped 2lb and he's one to consider. |
14/1 |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten around 5l when third of four at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) but he went backwards from that at Chester (6f, good) on his next start; reported to have never travelled when beating only one rival on handicap debut at Leicester (5f, good) five weeks ago and now steps back up to 6f for AW debut. |
18/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Like Dandy's Rocket, his second start stands out and he's been gelded before switching to nurseries; this half-brother to five winners makes more appeal though. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Hope for 1m2f on pedigree; ended last term with 7f and 1m AW wins; led over 2f out to over 1f out when creditable fourth of seven in handicap at Sandown (1m, good; 25-1) three weeks ago, and perhaps he needed that race, but others seem to have more striking claims. |
20/1 |
|
4th 6 (7) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Improved upon first two runs (both on turf) to win at Southwell (7f, AW) last October, and followed up on handicap debut there (1m, AW); had just three rivals to beat last time and he's 12lb higher today with something to prove on turf, but is not discounted given the ease of that last win. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Enjoyed a fine spell on AW during the winter, winning four consecutive handicaps at 6f across January and February; came back to form when returned to 6f with third of 14 at Windsor (good to firm) on Saturday; same mark (due to go up 2lb) and this is less competitive. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 16 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Enjoyed a fine spell on AW during the winter, winning four consecutive handicaps at 6f across January and February; good effort when second in Class 2 at Lingfield (AW; 50-1) on his next start at that trip but hasn't been at his best over shorter in two turf handicaps this spring; still not totally ruled out back at 6f. |
33/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Often front-runner and won four times on the AW over 6f this winter; gave it a good go from the front at Lingfield on Good Friday before weakening into sixth, but he was well beaten at Bath (5.5f, good) 26 days ago; needs to bounce back. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took a step forward when sent off favourite and runner-up on handicap debut at Carlisle (1m, soft) last Monday; runs off the same mark today and he's a major player if transferring his improvement back to better ground. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 4 (10) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Gelded prior to a reappearance run that he perhaps needed; his 2yo efforts have received several boosts; interesting on handicap debut, with improvement possible. |
9/2 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
More than hinted at ability when fifth in two 6f outings on good last summer but he might be another in this line-up who won't really come into his own until handicapping; gelded since last seen. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
3-3 in AW handicaps but record on turf reads 009; made all on his penultimate start and could be interesting if similar tactics are employed, but his suitability to grass remains an issue. |
9/4 |
|
9th 14 (14) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Tailed off in two turf races on good last July; firmly on the up in AW handicaps when last seen, registering a quickfire hat-trick in February and last two starts were at 1m4f (made all last time); absent since and this is a much more competitive contest for his return to turf. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Best form when second in a Chester maiden in July; has been below that form since, including in a couple of nurseries; first-time cheekpieces worn last time are discarded and he needs to show more. |
16/1 |

11 (6) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Promising second at Chester (6f, good) on second start but a lesser run followed at Newcastle (6f, AW) and soundly beaten on recent nursery debut at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft); has to raise game in first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
6 (8) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has shown ability over 6f, notably when second at Chester, while shaping as if this drop in trip will suit on nursery debut; interesting. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Slowly away when down the field at Chester (6f, good; 6-1) on debut 41 days ago; now switches to AW (dam an AW winner) and steps up to 7f; more needed but he may well be capable of leaving that effort behind. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
45,000euros yearling, 10,000gns vendor 2yo (April breeze-up sales); trainer among the winners and had a 2yo newcomer go in at Ripon on Monday but stall 11 isn't ideal for this first foal of sprinter Declaring Love, who improved with time. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Modest efforts over 6f/7f last term, including in two nurseries, with a visor tried on final start (7f); on a lowly mark, and with her stable gong well, is one to consider on first try at 5f. |
9/2 |

5th 9 (3) |
20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Well held in three qualifying runs and same story on nursery debut at Southwell (6f, AW; 28-1) two weeks ago; still early days and visor is now added but she needs a transformation on this step up to 7f; one of three runners for Hugo Palmer. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
