21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent racer who ran to a useful level when second in a C&D maiden and a 7f novice at Haydock on his first two starts; disappointed at York's Ebor meeting but that was a hot race and he's a leading contender back in these calmer waters. |
5/4 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Kingman colt and Royal Lodge entry who seems a winner waiting to happen, having finished a close second in a couple of 7f events, clear of remainder at Haydock (good) latest; brings solid claims to this bigger assignment. |

2nd 2 (6) |

9st 7lb |
First foal of a useful 12.4f winner who gave it a good go from the front when a half-length runner-up at 7-1 on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; leading claims on this second start. |

9st 7lb |
200,000gns yearling, 220,000gns (breeze-up) 2yo; by Too Darn Hot; holds two major entries; showed ability in Killarney maiden (1m, yielding to soft) while shaping as if this drop in trip will suit; interesting with improvement on the cards. |

220,000gns breeze-up buy and a son of Too Darn Hot; Group 1 National Stakes entry bodes well and has to be of strong interest. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
11-2 when seen in a very new light for handicap/seasonal debut at Redcar (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, coming from rear to win a nine-runner race by nearly 2l going away; 7lb higher but there was plenty of encouragement for 1m2f in that performance; one to consider. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (7) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Down the field on his three 2yo starts (7f/6f) and improvement is needed off his opening mark; however, he cost 52,000euros at the breeze-ups last May and could be capable of better; gelded since last time; watch the betting. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Irish colt who has performed creditably at Listed level since winning a notable maiden at York but needs improvement for the first-time headgear in this second start for new stable. |
66/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 180y |
9st 5lb |
Ex-Aidan O'Brien won the 7f Convivial at York on his third outing; confirmed a fair standard of form in 7f Listed races at Doncaster and Dundalk before changing hands for 100,000gns; useful prospect for Danny Murphy; unlikely to match former stablemate Charles Darwin. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Got off the mark when winning a valuable York maiden and a solid run in a Doncaster Listed race since, both over this trip; should handle this surface; looks yard's first-string so can go well. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Started a short price on his comeback/handicap debut late last month, having been gelded, when getting involved in a dual up front and cracking late; trainer going well of late and this one's evidently felt capable off this mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Improved upon first two runs when seventh of eight in warm maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last September in a first-time hood (left off today); gelded since; pedigree provides hope that he will be better than his opening mark and connections had a 3yo handicap newcomer win over C&D last week. |
7/2 |
|
8 (4) |
26th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Brings easily the worst form, for all that he shaped a bit better than the bare result at Ffos Las (7.5f, heavy) last time; may settle better in first-time hood but handicaps are likely to be his ideal scene. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Fourth attempt when winning a Thirsk maiden (7f, good) in April; made most when below form on handicap debut at York (7f, good) 17 days ago, which can probably be forgiven from widest draw and he was second favourite that day; 5lb claimer is recruited for this hot race on first crack at about 1m. |
14/1 |
|
8th 6 (16) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Prevailed in Thirsk maiden (7f, good) last time, opening his account at the fourth attempt; may well build on that success and show further improvement, in keeping with his pedigree (siblings include a very useful performer for his connections); respected. |
13/2 |

1st 11 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

500,000gns yearling; runner-up to a smart prospect at Redcar (7f, good to soft) last autumn; faded after leading until over 1f out when second to a wide-margin winner at Newcastle (7f, AW) on reappearance; still has untapped potential; leading candidate. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
He has been expensive to follow thus far but he has been consistent in terms of his RPR and this is easier than the Newmarket handicap he contested three weeks ago; cheekpieces experiment quickly aborted; well drawn and he holds strong claims. |
4/6 |
|
8th 10 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
360,000gns breeze-up 2yo; still seeking a first win and he has been expensive to follow thus far; that said, his Goodwood second (6f, good) last summer reads well and when third at Doncaster five weeks ago (7f, good to soft) he travelled through the race like a smart horse; the combination of a drop back in trip and the addition of cheekpieces could see him step forward now handicapping. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (13) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
360,000gns breeze-up purchase who showed plenty of ability in notable 2yo races over 5f-7f on good/good to firm, including at Royal Ascot; respectable third when joint-favourite for the Convivial Maiden at York on final outing; gelded since; big player on form. |

8st 13lb |
Eased once beaten upped to 1m on Good Friday when bidding for an AW double; consistent sort otherwise, including on turf last year, and may rebound; however, balance of form suggests he's no certainty to defy his mark on handicap debut. |
16/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive in defeat on turf across his four 2yo starts and he reappeared with a novice win at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) 16 days ago, when odds-on; further improvement is necessary if he's to follow up today, but that can't be ruled out and there's every chance 1m will be fine; yard in good form. |
4/1 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Improved with each start last year (in RPR terms), culminating in excellent fourth in valuable sales race at the Curragh (7f); the winner of that contest won a Group 3 next time, the second went on to land a Local Group 2 in Qatar and the third was sent off 100-30 for the Fillies' Mile on her next outing; sets the standard on AW debut; trainer/jockey took both divisions of this in 2025. |

Promising debut in a traditionally strong York maiden last August (7f, good to firm; trained by John and Sean Quinn); couldn't build on it on a slower surface at Redcar in October (stable debut); remains with potential and this trip should suit on pedigree. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
160,000gns yearling; in these colours but with the Quinns when a massive eyecatcher in the prestigious Convivial Maiden at York in August (7f, good to firm), in which he suffered early interference before keeping on takingly for fifth; that form has worked out well. |

9/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
0-6 but he's recorded RPRs in the 70s in all of his runs, including when second at Catterick (7f, good) and Southwell (7f, AW) this spring; sets a clear standard back on turf and he has shaped as though this drop to 6f could suit. |
4/6 |
|
2nd 4 (9) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Showed ability in all four starts last year, including when sixth in a competitive race at York in October, and ran another fine race when second of 11 in a maiden at Catterick (7f, good) on his return 15 days ago; good claims if coping with the switch to AW. |

Made all in an Ayr novice (1m, good to soft) in September, his third start, and that form has worked out; fluffed his lines when favourite for a 1m2f nursery at Nottingham one month later; has left Adrian Keatley and makes his stable/seasonal debut in a competitive race; not fully exposed and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |

Second run came in the valuable Convivial maiden at York; second favourite when winning from the front in a seven-runner novice at Ayr (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, mostly in a clear lead before holding off the 4-7 favourite by a neck; bred to stay 1m2f+; open to further improvement. |

Yarmouth maiden winner who was fourth in a Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) on his third 2yo start; put firmly in his place in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good) on reappearance but was 20-1 that day, may have needed the run and could be of more interest on this handicap debut. |

Eye-catching second in the Convivial Maiden at York then went one better at Yarmouth and ran well in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) upped further in trip; developing into a useful Flat performer for his esteemed dual-purpose trainer. |

280,000gns breeze-up purchase; finished nicely for second of 13 in the Convivial Maiden at York (7f, good to firm) on debut and got on top by a neck from a Gosden-trained newcomer when 7-4 favourite for maiden at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft); it looks like 1m2f will suit him well and he has a Group 1 Futurity entry. |

Goes well on ground softer than good; faced a simple task when winning novice at Carlisle in September and held her own against much classier opposition when third of 14 in Group 3 at Ayr (6f, soft) 11 days later; led for most of the way on that occasion and should make another bold bid. |

Runner-up at Goodwood (7f, heavy) in July on second start and bounced back from lesser run at York (7f, good to firm) for comfortable novice win at Carlisle (6f, soft) 11 days ago; needs another step forward today but her claims will be boosted if there's lots of rain. |
