1st 8 (7) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Respectable seventh on stable debut in the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and good third of 18 to Naana's Shadow at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; today's track should be a good fit for this front-runner and she could make a bold bid. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Two 5f wins for other yards in a Catterick novice as 2yo and a Meydan handicap in January; along with 25 others she was outclassed by a handicap blot at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) on yard debut but less than 2l covered the second and seventh (where she finished; raced without a shoe) and there could be better to come for her leading trainer. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Well beaten in last year's Queen Mary when trained by Jack Morland; her best form in Dubai this winter came in her two 5f runs on turf, winning off 5lb lower in January; brings different formlines to most and she isn't a forlorn hope on her first run for Karl Burke. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Out of a 5f winner and has been campaigned only at that trip; disappointing favourite in nursery most recently, failing to back up his Super Sprint effort; something to prove upped in distance. |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ffos Las third under a penalty in novice company has been well advertised since and he showed better form again when third in the Super Sprint at Newbury last time; trainer 4-12 with 2yos here and this one may yet have more to offer on this stiffer track, so he goes on the shortlist. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Record of 1-11 but his won was off 1lb higher at Southwell (5f, AW) in January and he ran well for a long way in a Class 4 handicap at Newmarket (fifth of eighth) 11 days ago; headgear is now added and he could make a bold bid on this drop back in grade. |
5/2 |

5th 8 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
In good form on AW prior to respectable fourth at Sandown (5f, good) in April off 4lb higher; however, two lesser runs have followed; upset in the stalls and withdrawn at York on last intended start (22-1 at the time). |

Began the year with two good runs at Southwell but backwards steps in three runs back on turf; others look stronger. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has won on good but the ground was soft for his best 2yo performance, when winning a Listed 5f race at Ayr last September; has done much less well in three runs since, including back in a handicap at York in May; needs the first-time tongue-tie to wave a magic wand. |
20/1 |

12th 1 (15) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Last season's standout performance was a 12-1 Listed win at Ayr (5f) in September on his sole encounter with soft ground; however, that performance has been an outlier and he's on a tough mark judged on the rest of his form; gelded since latest start last month. |
25/1 |

7th 1 (1) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Consistent at two and his form spiked when winning soft-ground Listed event at Ayr (5f) in September; previously showed he stays 6f and not dismissed on this reappearance/AW debut, albeit easy turf might be more his thing. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Four 5f handicap wins as 2yo, three on turf (good and good to firm); has improved with each of her three runs this year and was only just held by a well-treated Haggas rival in four-runner race at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last week; might not want it much softer but she runs off the same mark today; can't rule out. |
6/1 |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won four nurseries (one over C&D) last year and bettered inauspicious reappearance run when keeping on for respectable fourth at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; needs another step forward today, though, and the forecast rain may not be in her favour. |
12/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Constant progress last year saw her win four nurseries (5f, turf/AW) and she completed her season with a creditable fourth of 19 in a Listed event at the other Newmarket track (6f, good) in October; may have needed her reappearance run over C&D (good to firm) last month but that was a heavy defeat and she needs to find more progress to defy this mark. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in C&D handicap (good) in May on stable/seasonal debut and that form puts him in the picture; however, disappointing at Redcar (5f, good) since and now 0-10; needs to bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Placed in six of eight starts for Richard Fahey as a 2yo and, having been gelded, was beaten less than a length on stable debut/reappearance at Ripon (6f, good) last month; isn't short of speed so the return to 5f shouldn't be an issue; player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-8 as a 2yo for Richard Fahey, albeit having made the frame six times; changed hands for 20,000gns in the autumn and was subsequently gelding; reappears on a workable mark; market may guide. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a first win in 5f Beverley maiden last July and ended 2025 with good placed efforts in 5f nurseries over C&D and at Musselburgh in September; resumes from nine months off, having been gelded, but not out of things for his in-form yard. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Thoroughly exposed but he is a reliable sort and comes here on the back of two good nursery efforts (5f); returning to 6f in his favour; just held by Carnation Queen on their York run in June but still high on the list. |
9/2 |

1 (3) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |

Record is only 1-10, the success in a maiden; however, creditable second in Thirsk nursery (5f) last Saturday and may remain competitive. |
