4th 1 (3) |
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. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
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. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
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. |

14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 20y |

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. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a second success of 2026 (first over C&D) in 1m Hamiton handicap in August; well below par when sixth of nine in 1m Carlisle handicap last time, though; more is required. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (10) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
2-5 in handicaps this season, coming from off the pace to win at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in April and adding an 8.3f success at Hamilton 18 days ago; 3lb higher today and doesn't have the benefit of Conor Whiteley's claim but he is still low mileage and could progress further. |

Won a prestigous York maiden for Ballydoyle last year; disappoointing overall since changing stables and best watched for now. |
33/1 |
|
16th 7 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Ex-Ballydoyle maiden winner; made an encouraging start for this yard in a Listed race but hasn't beaten a rival in his last two starts (latest after being gelded) and now makes handicap debut in a tough contest. |
33/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
York maiden winner for Ballydoyle over 7f before two good runs in Listed company on AW over same distance; ran to a similar level on first start for new yard after break when beaten 2.5l into fifth by Charles Darwin in Committed Stakes at Navan; friendless in market and ran poorly at Newbury 49 days ago; gelded since and chance if reproducing that Navan run back up in trip. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has been in good form of late, winning at Epsom (7f, good to firm) in July and Ayr (7f, soft) last month; race may have come too soon when well held last time and is just 2lb higher when last successful; may have more to give. |
2/1 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Epsom (7f, good to firm) in July and he was back on the scoresheet here (7f, soft) yesterday when keeping on well; returns to 1m today; this progressive 3yo has to be respected under a 6lb penalty. |
4/1 |
|
1st 7 (10) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Appreciated ease in grade and justified favouritism when scoring over 7f at Epsom (good to firm) in July; creditable fourth there (7f, good to firm again) five weeks ago; probably acts on good to soft; enters calculations for in-form stable. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Fourth attempt when winning a Thirsk maiden (7f, good) in April; backward steps when helping to make the pace in May handicaps at York (7f, good) and Carlisle (1m, good to firm); gelded soon afterwards but this is his first run since; needs to resume improvement. |
16/1 |
|
8th 12 (8) |
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. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Wins at Pontefract (6f) and Catterick (7f) this summer and he has run with credit on his last two starts; worth a crack at 1m but his stamina will be tested given the underfoot conditions. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Could only manage a midfield finish at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) when bidding for a hat-trick; still has relatively low mileage but this is deeper than the Catterick event he won on his penultimate start. |
7/2 |
|
7th 7 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Took a while to hit the target but he had some notable maiden form, including at this meeting last year, and now bids for a hat-trick after wins under Jack Nicholls at Pontefract (6f maiden, good to soft) and Catterick (7f handicap; good to firm); further improvement is possible; respected. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Doesn't appear to have made any striking progress as a 3yo and he was beaten fair and square on handicap debut at Goodwood last time in a race contested by others in here who didn't get the rub of the green that day; looks vulnerable. |
50/1 |
|
6th 7 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
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. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Fifth in the Convivial Maiden at York last August when trained by John & Sean Quinn but couldn't build on that on his stable debut here (7f, good to soft) next time; finished tailed off at Pontefract (1m2f, good) on his April return and had been gelded when again finishing last on his AW/handicap debut last month; cheekpieces worn that day are removed. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Fifth in the Convivial Maiden at York last August when trained by John & Sean Quinn but couldn't build on that on his stable debut at Redcar (7f, good to soft) next time and was tailed off at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in April; has since been gelded and has cheekpieces applied for his AW/handicap debut. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
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. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
He has enjoyed a good season and his Ascot win (6f, good to firm) in August is solid form; well beaten behind a few of these at York four weeks ago, though; ran okay on soft at this meeting last year. |
20/1 |
|
17th 19 (19) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
He has not looked back since dropping to 6f in May, winning three times including an impressive success at the Shergar Cup at Ascot (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; two solid C&D runs on his record too but a 6lb rise since Ascot, allied to slower ground, could find him out; the only 3yo in the field and that age group have won the last two renewals. |
15/2 |

1st 4 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Thriving since dropped to 6f, winning at Ripon and Hamilton in May and then performing with great credit in hot sprint handicaps on his last three starts; no obvious reason why he wouldn't be bang there once again. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
1m 2yo win on good to soft for Adrian Keatley; easily best of four handicap appearances when fifth of 14 at Redcar (1m, good to firm) on penultimate start, but even that will not be good enough; big odds for all three races this term; has tried 1m2f twice and now it's 1m4f, which he's bred for. |
33/1 |
|
8th 10 (11) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
1m juvenile winner for Adrian Keatley; took a solid step forward on second start for this yard when fifth of 14 here (1m, good to firm) one month ago; one previous go at this trip was disappointing but pedigree suggests that shouldn't be held against him. |
14/1 |

5th 11 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Unexposed after only five starts but finished well down the field when 66-1 for seasonal/stable debut at Haydock (1m, good) three months ago; not seen since; considered only if much stronger in the betting here. |

9th 4 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Stays 1m2f and acts on good to firm; put firmly in his place when 20-1 for Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown on reappearance but made late headway into fourth of ten off this mark to Lost Boys in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good) on handicap debut, despite racing freely in rear early on; could have more to give and a stronger pace today may suit. |

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. |

9st 0lb |
Finished last in the Group 3 Oak Tree at Glorious Goodwood (7f) but the fast ground may not have suited; prior to that she was prominent for a long way before fading into mid-division in the Group 1 Poule d'Essai Des Pouliches at Longchamp (1m, heavy) and she remains of interest at 7f now back on a slower surface; no surprise if she runs well at big odds. |
50/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Placed in two Group 3 races (6f/7f, soft/good to soft) and ran well for a long way when eighth of 15 in the French 1,000 Guineas at Longchamp (1m, heavy) in May; drops back in grade today and the return to 7f could also help, but others have stronger claims; unproven on good/good to firm. |
20/1 |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |

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. |
