16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Started 2025 with a bang, winning four handicaps (7f-8.6f) between January and March; mixed bag this summer but he returned to form with a clear second at Kempton (1m) last Friday and went one better there (7f) yesterday; this dual course winner would have be respected if running again today. |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Found only an unexposed 4yo too strong over a mile here last week; handicapped to win but he wouldn't be suited by a tactical event back at 7f. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Started 2025 with a bang, winning four handicaps (7f-8.6f) between January and March; also finished second in a Class 3 handicap over C&D in April when rated 7lb higher; mixed bag this summer but he's on a good mark now and is of obvious interest back at a suitable level. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Unexposed colt who has been runner-up in two starts since returning from an absence, most recently on handicap debut at Epsom (8.5f, good) nine days ago, pulling clear of the rest with the winner; returns to AW and he's a contender off the same mark. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
150,000euros yearling; unexposed colt who showed promise in novice events, including a clear second behind an impressive winner at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) 23 days ago; looks on fair mark now switched to a handicap and he's an interesting contender. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Raced freely on debut last autumn; showed similar form when 3l fourth of 12 at Lingfield (1m, AW) three weeks later; bred to be useful and commands respect after nearly nine months off. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins have come at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and was demoted after finishing first past the post there in March; 0-8 on turf, though, and this may be an insufficient test for her. |
13/2 |

7th 9 (11) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-7 on turf and hanging right on AW has been costly on her last two starts, being demoted from first at Wolverhampton (8.6f) then finishing third at Newcastle (1m; raced mostly alone); however, this front-runner arrives in good heart and has shown promise on grass; could be in the shake-up. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form with a bang at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last Friday on her second run back from a break, passing the post in first (demoted; interference); gets a chance for swift compensation off the same mark. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Brings good stats as he's 2-3 since wearing cheekpieces and gained those wins over C&D (good/good to firm) to take his Epsom record to 2311; respected in the retained headgear. |
2/1 |
|
4 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring over C&D (cheekpieces added) last month but he finished ninth of 12 in his follow-up bid at Brighton; now drops back in grade but he's not easy to predict and comes with risks attached. |
13/2 |

9th 11 (7) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Sole run here wasn't his best at two but that was on soft; resurgent the last twice, a close third (good) followed by a stylish win (also Epsom, 8.5f; good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces; seems to love that track which bodes well for Brighton; back up 5lb which looks perfectly fair. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Wildly inconsistent for the Crisford yard and his current trainer; one of his better efforts back on turf last time but he's no certainty to build on it and his four previous efforts on Tapeta were ordinary. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 12 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Won AW maiden for the Crisford stable last summer but started off for Ruth Carr with three underwhelming AW handicap runs in March/April; revival needed on turf return. |

8th 7 (1) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Won a Lingfield maiden (1m, Polytrack) for the Crisfords last autumn, but well held in all four handicaps including two for this yard; best watched. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Epsom winner last August for regular partner Donagh Murphy off a 5lb lower mark; fair comeback over C&D behind Buy The Dip in April (6lb better off today) but didn't build on that back on turf a fortnight ago. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent sort who got off the mark at Epsom (8.5f, good) last August and has made the frame in all five starts since, latest when third of 12 here (1m, AW) last month following six-month break; should strip fitter and be thereabouts. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ended last season with string of good efforts on turf, including a win at Epsom (8.5f good) and second in higher-grade company at Newmarket (1m, good); not yet proven on AW, though, and his fitness must be taken on trust. |
7/1 |
