6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Thrice-raced colt whose form features a debut success last August and neck second, looking unlucky, at Pontefract (6f, good; had traffic issues) on handicap/seasonal debut; remains open to further improvement and commands respect. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Won a big-field maiden on debut at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last August; disappointing at Haydock (6f, good) in September but pulled hard; brings potential to this 3yo campaign and could prove to be ahead of the handicapper, provided he settles better. |

The horse he beat at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) has since let the form down but there's no knocking a winning start and he showed a willing attitude; has to be respected despite the penalty. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Has good sprinting connections; useful form on Thirsk debut (6f, good to firm) and a Brighton defeat next time can be forgiven; gelded since; travelled strongly and found plenty when winning on his Windsor reappearance and while the form is hard to weigh up, with the favourite running his first moderate race, this one has potential now handicapping. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Shaped well when a debut second in 6f Thirsk maiden in August, but failed to build on it when third of four in 6f Brighton maiden the following month; since gelded and this son of No Nay Never is worth another chance on his reappearance. |

First foal from a well-connected 6f winner; showed his inexperience and also considerable promise when clear second of 15 on last month's debut at Thirsk (6f, good to firm); looks the one to beat here. |

0-3 and vulnerable if bumping into anything useful but he's finished in the first three on all three starts (6f, good/good to firm) and his form is as good as anything the others have achieved; in the picture. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
190,000euros brother to three winners; has 3l to find with Alaminos on their Thirsk clash and, although 7lb better off with the winner, this colt did have the benefit of experience in Yorkshire; should run well nonetheless. |
7/2 |

3rd 10 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
190,000euros brother to three winners, including at Group 3 level (6f-7f 2yo); well-held second of four at Ripon (6f, good) last month but he ran green and that was a promising effort behind a 2-5 shot; should know more this time and he's a key player for yard that won a division of this race last year. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive in maiden/novice events, going close at Carlisle (6f) in August; weakened quickly in a Doncaster sales race with cheekpieces added (retained) last time but that was a tough ask and he should make more of an impact with his sights lowered again. |
3/1 |
|
19th 14 (4) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Heading in the right direction, close second at Carlisle (6f, good) most recently; chance of going one better at this level depends on whether first-time headgear prompts significant further progress. |
25/1 |
|
2 (8) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
155,000euros yearling; made a low-key start at Thirsk in July but he showed clear promise with his fourth of 15 there (6f, good to firm) last month; was well backed into 11-4 for that race and he's open to more progress on this drop in trip; in the mix. |

Five-race maiden; best form when fourth on two occasions, including at Hamilton (upped to 1m; handicap debut) latest start; again has frame possibilities but needs progress to get off the mark. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |

12th 6 (15) |

Signs of ability in three runs as 2yo, fading into fourth of ten at Catterick (7f, good) on final one; may have more still to offer but a couple of these have much stronger form. |

Well held in both runs, most recently when fifth of six at Redcar (6f, good) two weeks ago, but he had some traffic issues in that race and ran better than the bare facts; still early days and he's a possible improver with hood added. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Nursery winner at Leicester (7f, soft; from 4lb lower) last October; gelded over the winter and failed to see out 1m (good to firm) on seasonal reappearance at Redcar; may strip fitter, forecast rain is helpful, and Ethan Tindall claims a handy 5lb. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

9st 3lb |
Ran his best race to date when keeping on for third in a 0-55 handicap at Redcar ten days ago (6f, good), racing further away from the stands' rail than the pair to beat him; still has some potential in minor sprint handicaps and he is more appealing than many. |

3rd 3 (1) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Five-raced maiden who was a well-held fourth on his 6f Ripon reappearance 12 days ago; may strip fitter but Long Shot is the more obvious of the Tim Easterby pair. |
8/1 |

4th 10 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Didn't offer much initially, but did at least get closer to the principals when fifth of ten on handicap debut at Pontefract (6f, nursery; soft; in a first-time tongue-tie) last October; hasn't that many miles on the clock but does lack a recent run; others preferred. |

5f AW winner who has been placed over 5f and 6f on turf; beaten just 1l from the same mark at Nottingham (6f, good) but well below that level when back there over 5f (good) latest; not ruled out. |

Record is only 1-18 but she got back near her best when a rallying second behind Tickettothestars here (6f, good) two weeks ago; should be unfazed by this drop back in trip and has claims off only 1lb higher than last time. |

Three outings over 6f last year, showing promise when keeping on for close fourth at Carlisle (good) on second start; blew the start at Ayr (soft) four weeks later, so can have that fourth of eight marked up slightly; subsequently gelded; potential improver and one of the more likely types, particularly if backed. |
