24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
His progress looked to have stalled after winning at Chester in July but he was back to his best when third at Goodwood 12 days ago, not really getting a clear run at things until it was too late; runs off the same mark here but he will have to prove himself on soft ground. |
8/1 |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Down the field at Doncaster four weeks ago but that was his first attempt at 7f and it was in a more competitive race than this; he had a 3-8 strike-rate previously (including 6f wins on good/good to soft) and this 3yo could bounce back with a bold show for his top yard. |
6/1 |
|
13th 8 (8) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Strike-rate of 3-8, with one of those wins on good to soft; endured a wide trip when placed at Chester last time but was beaten 4l and whether he wants 7f remains to be seen (confined to sprinting thus far). |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
0-14 since debut win in May 2024 but he often ran well in some quality handicaps last season; returns on a competitive mark having had wind surgery; could have a part to play if fully tuned up. |
12/1 |
|

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Placed four times for current stable and last two efforts can be forgiven (raced in the most disadvantaged group in Ayr Gold Cup latest); record of 0-12 since debut win is the downside. |
14/1 |
|
19 (12) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Not added to his debut win but he has been placed on four occasions this season; got messed about early when down the field at York four weeks ago; cheekpieces now tried; stable looks to have stronger claims elsewhere. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Thirsk (6f, good) last June before following up at Chester (6f, good) a week later; well beaten in the Ayr Bronze Cup on his final start for Hugo Palmer and he beat only one rival home at Bath on his stable debut 27 days ago; visor back on (replacing cheekpieces worn last time). |
14/1 |
|
10th 2 (10) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended last season with a heavy defeat in the Ayr Bronze Cup but he did well for Hugo Palmer last summer including a brave win off this mark at Chester (6f, good); returns in new headgear for new yard but he went close on his reappearance last term and he needs watching in market. |
16/1 |
|
63 |
19th Sep 2025 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb
|
3yo who won two in a row in June (6f, good) before close thirds on his next two starts (including over C&D on good to soft); his form dipped at Chester three weeks ago but he's an each-way possible if bouncing back. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Course winner (7.6f, soft) for Andrew Balding last summer; not beaten far in the 7.6f handicap won by Supido 24 days ago (poor draw) and confirmed that promise with a Class 3 win at Thirsk a fortnight ago (7f, good); a 3lb rise shouldn't prove beyond him and Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus. |
11/1 |
|
1st 9 (10) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Won a useful Chester seller for Andrew Balding last September; not at best in two runs for current yard, although the draw did him no favours back at Chester on latest; falling in the weights and not ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
10th 14 (12) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Had a below-par Al Shabab Storm in behind when winning a useful C&D seller (soft) for Andrew Balding last September; made a respectable start for new connections when seventh of 12 over 7f at Thirsk (good) 18 days ago; entitled to come on for the outing but the draw hasn't done him any favours here. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Useful for Karl Burke in his younger days, although only win was a York novice on debut (6f, good); best run for Roger Fell when fifth over 7f at Thirsk last time, when shaping as though he might stay 1m (can pull hard); tongue-tie now tried. |
3/1 |
|
5th 7 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Didn't build on successful debut for Karl Burke and he's been unplaced on all nine starts since; no immediate promise in two runs for current yard (wore cheekpieces on latest) and probably best watched for the time being. |
20/1 |
|
12th 14 (10) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Finished last in final start for Karl Burke and midfield effort on reappearance (AW) took his record since debut success to 0-8; chance largely depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Did well over 6f for Alice Haynes and coped fine with the drop back to 5f at Ascot where he was prominent throughout and prevailed by just over a length; this 6lb higher mark isn't beyond him. |
8/1 |
|
1st 10 (13) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Well handicapped on his best form for Alice Haynes and he made an encouraging stable debut when a close third at Southwell three weeks ago; one to be interested in. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
His two wins for Alice Haynes came over 6f but he wasn't beaten far dropped to 5f when last seen in October; sold for 40,000gns soon afterwards; on a handy mark ahead of his stable debut; goes without headgear; betting should guide. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
3yo who is 0-6 since impressive win on debut at Newmarket (7f, good) last August but he ran well when fifth of 25 in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, soft) three weeks ago and there's every chance he'll be in the mix. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Just one win to his name but runner-up in a big field at the Dante meeting here and again found only one too good at Southwell in September; however, both those runs were over 5f, he hasn't looked as effective at this trip and he never looked like getting involved over 5f here on Friday. |
25/1 |
|

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Ran a cracker to finish second of 22 in a hot 3yo C&D handicap at the Dante meeting; unable to build on that since but he returned to form when second at Southwell 17 days ago; that was a drop in class and a 2lb rise back up in grade could find him out. |
10/1 |
|
3 (3) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Started the campaign in good form, notably when second of 22 at the Dante meeting at York (5f, good to firm); his progress has stalled more recently though and hopes rest on the drop into Class 4 company perking him up. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

Won a C&D handicap off this mark last August; two creditable runs this spring and returning to faster ground should suit; chance. |

4th 7 (5) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2025 on the up and he returned from seven months off (gelded) with an encouraging fourth of 13 in 6f handicap at Newmarket 16 days ago; well in the mix off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
4th 13 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Has gained both wins during the month of August but ran well (off current mark) on spring reappearance last term and when second to Eternal Sunshine on final outing; gelded since; each-way possibilities. |
