25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won first two sprint races as 2yo; no progress on final 2025 run but he returned with a useful effort at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in April; has a little to find with First Legion on that run but the latter had had a sharpener which this one lacked; interesting for last year's winning yard. |
13/2 |

6th 8 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won a Bath maiden (5.7f, good to firm) on debut and followed up in a Salisbury novice (6f, good to soft) four weeks later; last of four in a conditions race back at Salisbury in October; improvement essential now handicapping but it's not out of the question. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Won Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) last October on her third start and she's been third in Listed races at Saint-Cloud on both starts since (7f/1m, heavy), albeit without seriously threatening on either occasion; in good hands to continue to progress and she might not be far away. |
16/1 |
|
1st 5 (10) |
15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Promising second at Salisbury on debut and better form when fourth of 14 in a Goodwood conditions event three weeks ago (7f, good to soft); leading form claims now switched to AW. |
15/8 |
|
10 (4) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Represents major yard; promising second of ten, faring best of the newcomers, in Salisbury event (6f, good to soft); needs a good chunk of progress to go one better but that's not impossible. |

19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has shown ability with his similar efforts over 6f, finishing fourth at Windsor (good) then third at Salisbury (good to soft); again has frame possibilities. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 8 (2) |
29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Defied his 100-1 odds with a respectable fourth of nine at Windsor, beaten under 6l (6f, good); can improve. |
33/1 |
|
6 (5) |
4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Newcomer by Without Parole out of a six-time handicap winner (6f-7.6f; RPR 97) for his connections; stable has a modest strike-rate with 2yos; likely to be more interesting at a later date. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made it second-time lucky in handicaps when scoring at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but he couldn't make an impact at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago; still lightly raced but he needs to resume his progress to defy this mark. |
7/1 |
|
8th 1 (10) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prevailed narrowly in similar event at Kempton (6f, AW) with reappearance under his belt, getting off the mark at the fifth attempt; may improve further, provided he's as effective back on turf; respected. |
9/2 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Advanced his RPR with each run last season and appeared to perform below market expectations on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f; first-time tongue-tie) one month ago; that was after a break (and a gelding operation) and perhaps this track will suit better. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won two 6f events on Polytrack in February; unplaced in both handicaps though and his latest 2lb drop isn't enough to tempt. |
10/1 |
|
10th 2 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
All four runs over 6f; dead-heated in a Chelmsford maiden and narrowly defied a penalty here in a novice that's worked out well; made an underwhelming handicap debut at Southwell but he's back at Lingfield with cheekpieces added and well drawn to boot. |
10/1 |
|
6th 1 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Unplaced in his one turf start as a 2yo; gelded afterwards and made a winning reappearance when dead-heating in a Chelmsford maiden six weeks ago (6f); narrowly defied a penalty at Lingfield 13 days later and that form has been boosted with the second and fourth winning since; needs more to defy this mark but he is willing and could progress further. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Easily won a 5f maiden at Chepstow on her second 2yo run; never in the hunt behind Cherry Baker on her seasonal/handicap debut here 24 days ago but the run wasn't without hope, drawn wide in stall 12, racing freely under restraint and not enjoying a clear passage at a crucial time; stall 9 again not ideal but she's one to keep an eye on as the season progresses. |
20/1 |
|
9th 14 (12) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Has raced three times, all last August, clear best form when scoring at Chepstow (good to firm) in sole 5f attempt; something to prove on the trip front but market support should be noted. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Blinkered for both runs; well beaten on 7f debut but then won by 3l over 5f at Chepstow (good to firm); the runner-up is now 0-5 but this filly is a half-sister to a Group 3 winner so might well have more to offer; trainer won this in 2022. |

5th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unplaced in three 6f novice runs for Eve Johnson Houghton last year; sent off the 4-1 favourite for his stable/handicap debut at Leicester three weeks ago (7f, good) but never featured; no better back at Leicester ten days ago but that was in a Class 5; down in the weights and his best RPR came in his only AW start so it's too soon to discount him completely. |
10/1 |
|
8th 12 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Well held in three qualifying runs (6f) for Eve Johnson Houghton last season; 4-1 favourite on handicap/stable debut over C&D (good) 12 days ago but he was always in rear and finished 15th of 17; has good pedigree and is still early days but he needs to leave that latest form a long way behind. |
8/1 |
|
15th 3 (2) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to build on earlier promise when sixth in 6f Goodwood novice on his final run for Eve Johnson Houghton; since gelded and it would come as no surprise to see him take a big step forward now going handicapping for James Owen; well worth a market check. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Favourite for AW/handicap debut at Lingfield (7f; first run as a gelding) five weeks ago but never figured, finishing eighth of ten; 2lb lower and back over 6f, seeking something more positive. |
6/1 |
|
8th 5 (8) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Shaped nicely on his second 2yo start (6f, good to soft); gelded after latest run; up in trip for his handicap debut and he looks a likely improver. |

Off the mark at the sixth attempt when readily seeing off Zipwire over C&D in December; that rival has improved since but these weights offer him a good chance of confirming the placings; non-runner 3.33 Windsor Monday. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 5-5, all over 6f/7f on AW this year, since handicapping; registered the latest success on finals day at Newcastle; major contender, assuming his tremendous progress can be sustained back on turf. |
7/2 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
4-4 since fitted with a tongue tie and switched to handicaps; now a whopping 32lb higher than when his winning sequence began and he is tackling much stronger opposition this afternoon but he barely broke sweat last time and his ceiling is yet to be established. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Unbeaten (3-3) since fitted with a tongue-tie and introduced to handicapping, adding to easy Southwell and Lingfield wins (6f) with a demolition job at Wolverhampton (7f; 4-11 favourite; 13l winner) last week; thriving, so he's hard to oppose despite 10lb rise plus a 6lb penalty. |
