28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Landed Hamilton maiden (6f, good to firm) on debut but better form after wind surgery when bagging Haydock handicap (5f, good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and ran well for second (5f, AW; winner on the middle leg of a hat-trick) on his reappearance, while latest start from a wide stall at Chester can be written off; needs considering. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice as a 2yo, notably a 5f nursery (good to soft) at Haydock in September; gelded afterwards; made a promising seasonal return at Wolverhampton in March, narrowly failing to reel in one who has since boosted the form; appeals as being ahead of his mark, despite a 2lb rise for Wolverhampton, but stall 12 isn't ideal. |

Won for the second time, following wind surgery, in a nursery at Haydock (5f, good to soft) in September; has been gelded since and makes AW debut; any market move should be noted. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent colt who can boast 5f wins at Nottingham (novice) and Windsor (nursery off 4lb lower) this season; finished behind two of today's rivals at Haydock two weeks ago but he raced further away from the stands' rail than either Clear Force or Concert and it was also his first run on slower than good; apprentice takes off a handy 5lb; contender. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Nottingham novice (5f, good) in June; disappointed on his nursery debut here (6f) last month but put that right dropped back to 5f at Windsor (good to firm; Army Bugler fourth) just eight days later; respected. |
9/2 |

1st 1 (9) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Moving up to 6f did not work out on his latest outing but he'd shown plenty (without improving much) over 5f before that, including when second of five in a Sandown nursery on penultimate start; back to 5f today but could be vulnerable against less exposed rivals. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Busy spell as a juvenile included wins in Brighton maiden (5.5f) and course nursery (5f, again good to firm); also stays 6f and landed series final at Nottingham (good to soft) in October; more exposed than most of these and finished last on his reappearance, however; drops back down in grade. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Ran 12 times as a 2yo, winning three times; the ground may have been too soft when down the field at Newbury on his final run last year but likely a few of these will have his measure. |
33/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Admirably consistent gelding who is thriving on his racing, proving better than ever when seeing off five rivals in 6f Nottingham nursery (good to soft) 23 days ago; should give another good account. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Started off for Craig Lidster with two very underwhelming AW runs in January (6f/5f) and is now 0-9 overall; difficult to enthuse over on first start for four months. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Eight-race maiden; left Clive Cox in October for 19,000gns; weakened from outside the furlong pole when sixth of seven on stable debut at Southwell (6f; 50-1) a fortnight ago; others less exposed. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improved with each of her first four 2yo runs, following a Yarmouth novice win with a cosy success at Sandown last July; flopped on soft ground wn last seen but that isn't the run to judge her on; absent for 275 days but likely there is more in the tank. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has raced only on good ground; 2-2 since wearing a hood, latest performance in C&D nursery when beating a subsequent scorer and taking overall form figures to 3211; respected in the retained headgear. |
