5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Failed to beat a rival on his debut in a four-runner Sandown maiden (1m, good) a year ago, but improved when just getting up to win a novice over this C&D later that month (race has produced winners); may appreciate a bit further now, but still respected on his return and market should be informative. |

Frankel colt whose siblings include two very useful winners for his connections; ran to a respectable RPR, despite looking green and finishing last of four, in Sandown maiden (1m); should progress. |

27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
1,000,000euros breeze-up purchase; only a modest fifth of 12 in Kempton contest (7f) but was green throughout and may improve a good deal with the experience under his belt; cheekpieces applied. |
11/2 |

5th 9 (6) |
6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

$70,000 yearling, 1,000,000euros (breeze-up) 2yo; Maxfield half-brother to six US winners, notably Victory Rally (7f/1m dirt including stakes); dam US 6f-8.5f dirt scorer (including stakes); interesting newcomer, even though William Buick prefers stablemate Ruler Of Time. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden; not seen to best effect on his last two starts and today's longer trip should be in his favour; on a lowly mark and interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't progress for Andrew Balding and he hasn't offered a great deal in three runs for his new stable either; would have finished closer at Wolverhampton 19 days ago had he enjoyed a clear run but still looks vulnerable; drop in class a plus at least. |
8/1 |
|
8th 12 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden; made a low-key stable debut in April (6f) and was pulled up (lame) on turf the following month; back up in trip here; not the most obvious answer. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D (good to firm) last month and he resumed his progress when scoring at Haydock (1m, good) three weeks ago; that was a comfortable success, but he carried his head awkwardly in that race and failed to back that up at Newbury on Wednesday. |
10/1 |
|
7th 11 (11) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has won two of his last three and he raced too freely in the defeat; ridden more prominently when winning by a little under 3l at Haydock (1m, good; 6lb lower) last time and he needs a close look, for all that this is a stronger race. |
10/1 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Rallied well in first-time visor dropped back to 1m at Sandown (good to firm) last week but only fifth under a penalty at Newmarket (1m, good to firm again) on Thursday; will run off 2lb lower if turned out again quickly. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
0-4 for George Boughey and he failed to beat a rival home at Kempton (1m, AW) on his stable debut two weeks ago; may come on for that first start in 314 days but he'll need to. |
100/1 |
|
9th 10 (9) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
Modest form in four runs for George Boughey last year, failing to improve on his handicap debut (1m) last October; sold for 10,000gns later that month and gelded; only of interest if backed on his belated stable debut. |
20/1 |
|
4 (4) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed ability in three novices at 7f and 1m (two on Polytrack) without progressing; looks a slow learner, however, and will likely get his act together at some point; tongue-tie goes on for this handicap debut; respected. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Gelded and tongue tied when justifying favouritism in five-runner handicaps over 1m3f on Kempton AW this February and April; raced a bit freely and never got into it when back to turf at Chester (1m4f, good; second favourite) 16 days ago but not at all discredited and it's possible he may resume his progress; cheekpieces go on. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Promise on turf (good to firm/good) as 2yo; gelded and tongue tied when justifying favouritism in five-runner handicaps over 1m3f on Kempton AW this February (fairly smoothly) and April (much harder work, by short head); up another 4lb and back to turf but 1m4f+ will help his hat-trick bid. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Son of Sea The Moon who built on earlier promise after five months off (gelded/tongue tied) when an emphatic winner of handicap over C&D 35 days ago from Parisian Scholar; up 6lb but the sort to go on improving and he rates a big player. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Off four months/gelded before taking a big step forward on his handicap debut when scoring at Chelmsford (1m2f) 18 days ago; got up late there and this son of Gleneagles has more still to offer now upped in trip; leading claims on his turf debut despite 4lb weights rise. |
5/4 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three runs as a 2yo, showing his best form when a keeping-on fourth of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; gelded since; bred to appreciate the longer trip and he's an interesting contender on this handicap debut. |
5/2 |

7th 3 (11) |
27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
36,000euros foal, 205,000gns yearling; Gleneagles sibling to six winners, notably Bracken's Laugh (1m including 2yo/AW; 110); dam 1m2f scorer (107); stablemate of Corduroy; market informative. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won by a short head at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in June and followed up by a neck in first-time cheekpieces at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm); fifth of six at Nottingham (1m1f, good to firm) since but finished close up and it's possible the switch to blinkers will eke out something extra. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Comes here chasing a hat-trick after narrow 1m2f wins on fast ground at Beverley and Redcar (cheekpieces first time); a 6lb penalty for the latter success (on Sunday) asks a stiffer question, but he could enjoy the run of the race and looks the one to beat. |

31st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Showed no significant promise as a 2yo (four runs; 6f-1m) and is out of the weights for this seasonal debut but had wind surgery in March and wouldn't be the first from her stable to show huge improvement once switched to a middle-distance handicap as a 3yo. |
9/4 |

9th 11 (10) |
27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Prescott filly who has been struggling at novice level and should be more interesting when qualified for a mark. |
66/1 |
|
6 (8) |
13th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Having another quick run and has failed to beat a rival so far (6f/7f); likely to come into her own once handicapping over a longer trip. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

Tasleet filly who got back on track with third of eight in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 25 days ago, despite racing freely; not out of things eased 1lb with cheekpieces added. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

10th 11 (5) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |

40/1 |

6th 3 (2) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-6 but showed there was a race in him when third in a similar contest over C&D last month; sold for 16,500gns to join new yard subsequently and should be thereabouts. |
7/2 |

3rd 2 (2) |
9th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He fared no better for the step up to 1m4f when fourth of five at Southwell two weeks ago, finishing 16l behind Crown Inn To Win; bred to be useful but he arrives with a point to prove. |
