13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has failed to carry 2025 progress into 2026, notwithstanding a success (off 1lb lower in lesser grade) in July; furthermore, has proved inconsistent this year; opposed in this competitive field. |
20/1 |

9th 9 (14) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner last summer who reacted well to blinkers when getting his head back in front at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in July; ran well in a hot race at York one week later but three lesser runs have followed and the headgear is left off now. |
33/1 |

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. |

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. |

6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

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. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Exposed 19-race maiden; placed over C&D (hooded first time) 11 weeks ago and has run well after a break in the past; still looks vulnerable for win purposes though. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
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. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner, the most recent coming off this mark at Kempton (7f, AW) in March, and he ran a solid race when fourth of eight at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; each-way contender. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
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. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Win twice on soft turf for his previous stable but he's 0-6 since joining this yard, and was well beaten returned to the AW at Wolverhampton (6f) three weeks ago; first-time visor needs to make a difference. |
25/1 |
|
9th 2 (4) |
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. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Sole success came in a Newbury maiden (6f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding just over a year ago; makes his debut for new yard having changed hands for 32,000gns in July; tackles 1m2f for the first time but there's hope on pedigree. |
16/1 |

8th 10 (2) |
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. |

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 |

5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

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. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Firm-ground winner as 2yo; ended 2025 with a 7f win on Kempton AW in December (first-time cheekpieces) but slowly away and well held in two of last three starts; respectable effort at Ripon in between but others look more likely; yard won two of the last five runnings. |
25/1 |
|
10th 13 (11) |
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 |
