13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Can front-run; sole win from 16 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he did step forward from his return when fourth in first-time cheekpieces over C&D 22 days ago; headgear is retained. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from 15 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he's mostly struggled since and failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m, AW) last time on his first start for 112 days; now drops to 7f with cheekpieces applied on this return to turf. |

Got off the mark at Chelmsford (1m) in September but he's been off since turning in a poor sixth there in December; more is required despite a slipping mark. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has not finished closer than fifth in her eight starts, including two handicaps and two classified events for current yard; made some late headway in blinkers here (7f) last time but she needs improvement back up in trip. |
16/1 |

6th 8 (9) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Seven-race maiden who has little in the way of solid form; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

6th 3 (2) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six-race maiden who isn't particularly solid on form; chance largely depends on how well she responds to first-time headgear. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Out of a half-sister to a US Grade 1 winner; showed some promise in his qualifying runs, including when third of 12 on Chelmsford reappearance (1m, AW) last month; made some good late headway in that race and he looks interesting now upped to 1m2f on handicap debut. |
3/1 |

3 (5) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Out of a half-sister to a US Grade 1 winner; failed to build upon quite promising 2yo debut when down the field here (7f) in November and has not raced again since; probably still has potential but is tricky to weigh up on this reappearance outing; gelded in April. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Only had to reproduce what he'd done twice before to readily get off the mark at Chelmsford last time (1m), following gelding operation and wind surgery; needs to pull out more now handicapping but that's entirely possible; yard took this in 2023. |
15/2 |
|
4 (4) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Went very close here (7f) on debut in November and was placed on dirt in UAE (1m/9.5f) on next two outings; below form when 4-9 favourite on latter occasion but was given wind and gelding operations during subsequent seven-month break; will be hard to beat here if back on song. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
500,000gns yearling; didn't appear to stay on his handicap debut at Beverley (1m2f, soft; first start since being gelded) three weeks ago; no great surprise if he shows more back down in trip. |
15/2 |

8th 9 (7) |
17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Left Ralph Beckett for 32,000gns after one run; again well beaten in two AW races (1m) last month but he now goes handicapping and could show a lot more more on this step up to 1m2f; needs a close look for in-form yard. |

7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Posted an improved effort when a close-up third of seven on his handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) 231 days ago and has since undergone gelding/wind operations; also has the tongue-tie back on and he's a contender back on the AW. |
8/1 |

9 (5) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Began career with two encouraging runs this summer and the tongue-tie he tried when faring less well at Chelmsford (1m) is now removed; could have a role to play on handicap debut. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Hasn't finished within 11l of the winner in four starts; needs a transformation back from eight months off with a tongue-tie applied. |

16 (9) |
14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Ordinary form in three races over 1m on AW; starts life in handicaps off a lowly mark and no surprise were he to show marked improvement up in trip on his handicap/turf debut. |

5 (10) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

No closer than 11l behind the winner in two starts, though not without some promise when fifth of 12 at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last month; looks one for handicaps after this. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Just five races, the first two for James Tate; runner-up three times, including on handicap debut in nine-runner race at Nottingham (1m, good) five weeks ago; return to 7f may well be fine and he's relatively unexposed, but taking on so many rivals from almost the widest draw asks a major question. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Second on good turf for James Tate last autumn and has bettered that form when reaching the frame in AW novices over 1m and 7f for new yard; unexposed handicap newcomer. |
15/2 |

2nd 2 (1) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Bang there over a furlong out and did best of the bigger-priced runners at the line when starting out for Thomas Faulkner at Southwell in December (1m); could step up in returning cheekpieces. |

8st 12lb |
Hasn't beaten many in three starts over 1m/1m3f on AW/good ground since August; needs to step up considerably on handicap debut, but he is bred to be much better than he has shown; market could be revealing. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Sixth foal; half-brother to winners Twist 'N' Shake (1m including Listed; RPR 109) and Groovy Baby (6f AW; 76); dam 1m-1m2f winner (including Listed; 107); only 11-2 for debut at Southwell (1m3f) four weeks ago but was well beaten; drops in trip here; presumably thought capable of much better. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Struggled in his three qualifying runs (1m2f/1m) and remote with headgear in his two handicaps (1m4f/1m2f), despite starting co-favourite on the Newcastle Tapeta last time; no form claims yet. |
14/1 |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Struggled in three qualifying runs (1m2f/1m) and it was the same story on handicap debut at Brighton (1m4f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) 15 days ago; drops back in trip with the visor replacing cheekpieces. |
25/1 |

15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Struggled in his three qualifying runs (1m2f/1m) but he now goes handicapping with headgear added and this unexposed 3yo is a possible improver at this new trip; needs close look in market. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
300,000euros yearling; well held in her first two runs but she showed promise when a staying-on fourth in Windsor novice (1m, good) last month; this is a big step up in trip on handicap debut but she has a striking pedigree and needs a close look in the market. |
3/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

Fifth of six in spring C&D event won by very useful sort; only a modest fourth at Chelmsford since but may be capable of progress returned to turf; frame possibilities. |
10/1 |

11 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
From a good family that includes 6f 2yo Group 1 winner Sudirman; stumbled soon after start and could not get seriously competitive when fifth of six at Windsor (1m) in May but that quite valuable novice race has worked out pretty well; no surprise if she gets close to the target here. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Surprise course winner over 1m3f on her handicap debut in January off a 5lb lower mark; like Hackney Diamonds wouldn't have been best served by sitting off a steady pace here last time, when favourite, and remains lightly raced. |
5/1 |
|
8th 10 (5) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unexposed 4yo who returned from a break with a 25-1 win on handicap debut over C&D last month; up 5lb but that was a convincing success and she's open to more progress over middle distances; respected. |
