4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Gained all three hurdle wins at Ludlow; kept on for second behind progressive rival there (2m, good) last month, after a break, but may not be ideally suited by this switch to a left-handed track. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 |
10th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Suited by good ground; proved resurgent when last seen five months ago, enhancing a strong C&D record that also features wins (off 2lb lower) in this race in 2023 and 2025 (faller in 2024); very solid claims kept to this scenario. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Hurdle win in May (2m, good); poor form on the Flat since August, failing to progress for handicaps on last two starts; should benefit from the step up in trip and he has run well on soft going over hurdles; risky but there are grounds for expecting better dropped in class. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the third attempt in a Wolverhampton novice (8.6f, Tapeta) last month, but ran poorly on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m, good) last time (weakening when badly hampered); enough to prove. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Last of five at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in June in his only start for Kevin Philippart De Foy, but much better when a staying-on third of 13 on stable debut at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last month (met trouble); nicely bred and much respected if stepping forward again. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five-race maiden; showed signs of improvement with fifth of nine in Wolverhampton handicap (9.5f) on seasonal debut; possibilities, provided he builds on that effort and stays the new trip. |
10/1 |

5th 7 (9) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Unexposed 4yo; has been beaten 12l or more on all four starts, the latest on handicap debut at Pontefract in September; others stronger. |
14/1 |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Similar form in three qualifying runs (7f to 8.5f) on AW and quick turf; winning sibling scored twice at about 1m4f so may do better up in trip for this handicap debut; interesting to see how he goes in the market for a race that probably won't take much winning. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Justify filly who has shown fair form in her three runs to date, third of five in 1m Southwell novice 20 days ago; she may do better still for leading yard and needs considering. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Down the field at Kempton on last month's debut (7f) but she put that experience to good use when second of five at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago; remains capable of better and she is high on the list. |
2/1 |
|
4 (4) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
290,000euros breeze-up 2yo; sent off 9-2 for last month's Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack), but looked in need of the experience in finishing seventh of eight; likely she is capable of better, but she will need a significant step forward. |

3rd 5 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Went close more than once for Harry Charlton but left that yard an eight-race maiden; hasn't threatened to put that right in four runs for new stable but went with a bit more promise when sixth of 11 over 1m3f at Hamilton 11 days ago, keeping on from off the pace after missing the break again; due to be 2lb lower from the weekend. |
6/1 |

6th 7 (12) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Went close more than once for Harry Charlton but left that yard an eight-race maiden and she's not threatened to put that right in three runs for new yard; has tried cheekpieces and now has tongue tied for step up in trip. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (7) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Went close more than once for Harry Charlton but left that yard an eight-race maiden and comfortably held in 7f/1m1f handicaps for current one; the return of cheekpieces might not be a bad thing (figures of 23 when tried previously) but there are safer options. |
