31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Had a wind op in June and he was back to winning ways at Chepstow (7f, good to firm; blinkered first time) in July; ran well in a hot race at York one week later but his form since has been less convincing; back down in the weights; handles good to soft, untried on slower. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Record since wearing blinkers comprises a win at Chepstow, creditable sixth in competitive field at York and excusable effort (race didn't go smoothly) at Glorious Goodwood; could go well in the retained headgear. |
16/1 |

14th 7 (15) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
He progressed well over this trip last term and, following a slow start to this season, he was back in the groove in first-time blinkers when scoring at Chester (7f, good to firm) earlier in the month; finished close sixth at York (Pellitory second) under a penalty one week later and he's not readily dismissed. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Novice winner who was close up in a C&D handicap last August off 1lb higher; major claims if able to repeat that form, which hasn't been the case in three subsequent races. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Got off the mark in 7f Salisbury novice in August but failed to beat a rival at Kempton on his final run in 2025 and went freely when beating one on his return in 1m Newmarket handicap last month; needs to become more tractable. |
10/1 |
|
12th 16 (8) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Off the mark at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last summer and ran well on handicap debut at Newbury (7f, good) next time; disappointing when upped to 1m at Kempton but he's certainly bred to stay; still lightly raced. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
225,000euros breeze-up buy; remains a maiden, and is on the verge of becoming frustrating, but the Newbury and Newmarket races he contested in August and September have worked out very well; rail draw. |
7/2 |
|
8th 8 (6) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 0-7 when below par at Newbury four weeks ago, when failing to settle; however, prior to that he went close in a small field at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) and can be in the picture if leaving last time behind. |
8/1 |
|
6th 12 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Six-race maiden; similar form in two handicaps around 1m this term, a solid third of 13 at Hamilton (good) in May backed up by a narrow second at Salisbury (good to firm) last time; far from disgraced over 1m2f in between; this drop back in trip asks a question but he's in form and is yet another contender. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Campaigned mostly in lower grades and has done her winning on Wolverhampton AW; doesn't look the answer in this scenario. |
16/1 |

8th 1 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four AW wins; 0-12 on turf but has largely consistent form in this sphere, creditable third at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) most recently; each-way possibilities. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All four wins have been on AW and she's 0-11 on turf; finished placed a few times on good or quicker ground last summer but she's been quiet in both runs this season and others are more persuasive. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-18 and his record is a patchy one; below par at Salisbury last month and the change of headgear isn't enough to tempt. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Still a maiden after 17 starts but scores good marks for consistency; runner-up in first-time visor (retained) at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month and ought to be on the premises again here. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to register a victory but he arrives in decent nick, fading late when seventh in 1m2f Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; not out of things back in trip in a change of headgear. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved his record to 6-16 when winning at Kempton (7f, AW) in March but he's been well below form in three subsequent runs; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he needs to get back on track |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his sixth success when winning at Kempton (7f, AW) in March on his reappearance but he's been below that level in both starts since, including at Newbury three weeks ago; drops in grade but others have stronger claims. |
10/1 |
|
10th 9 (12) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Back from a break to claim career win number six on the Kempton AW (7f) in March but then disappointed at Yarmouth (off this 3lb higher mark); consistent in the main since sent into handicaps and breaks tend to do him good. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Unplaced all five turf starts new stable this season (6f-7f) but hasn't been running that badly and continues to slip down the weights; Billy Loughnane is booked for this rare AW appearance; not ruled out. |
9/2 |
|
6th 9 (6) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two turf wins, the latest a claimer at Leicester last October on final run for Eve Johnson Houghton; dropping down the weights but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to take advantage. |
11/1 |
|
5th 2 (10) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made encouraging seasonal/stable debut when fifth of 15 in higher-grade race at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, but two lesser efforts have followed (7f/6f) and she'd appeal more on ground slower than good. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
He's 3lb out of the handicap and he wasn't quite at his best last time; however, he kicked off his campaign with two good runs in defeat and there remains a suspicion he may yet have a bigger performance in him. |
8/1 |
|
7th 12 (10) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Placed on all six handicap starts, most recently second of six over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago when twice suffering interference from the winner in the closing stages; every chance he'll be bang there. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Bit in and out since easily winning a Windsor novice (6f, heavy) last October, but it was a good effort in a Kempton handicap (6f, AW) in May and also when beaten a neck over C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago. |
10/1 |
|
3 (3) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Patchy form since easily winning a Windsor novice (6f, heavy) last October, her best effort when beaten a neck in a Kempton handicap (6f, AW) on penultimate start; returns from 82 days and and still to fully convince over this far. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
The addition of cheekpieces saw him win a C&D handicap (Metaverse second) in December off a 1lb higher mark; not at the same level in a pair of competitive 6f handicaps this summer (gelded prior to the first of them); needs a full revival. |
12/1 |
|
11th 4 (15) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended 2025 with a 7f win at Kempton (cheekpieces first time); well beaten at Goodwood 17 days ago on his return from a 175-day break (gelded during the absence); better than that but still not easily recommended. |
20/1 |
|
23th 3 (14) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Responded well to first-time cheekpieces (retained since) when successful over 7f at Kempton in December; no more than a respectable fourth back there (7f again) two months later and off since (has been gelded); Clive Cox is among the winners but others arrive with more pressing claims. |
