25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Maiden winner who is 0-11 in handicaps and failed to improve for a visor (retained) most recently, while also failing to build on an encouraging reappearance effort; otherwise well treated on best efforts. |
11/2 |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win was a maiden as 2yo on his only run at this track; none too consistent in his 11 starts since but recent reappearance was respectable and this return to 1m2f should be okay; record with blinkers or cheekpieces (both absent last time) gives encouragement for today's first-time visor; wide draw. |

4th 5 (4) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
0-7 last season and inconsistent; however, he was a close third of 11 at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last July and also showed spark when third at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in September; on a career-low mark and not ruled out. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Rallied for eyecatching second on handicap debut at Ascot (1m, good to firm) in July; mid-division in Glorious Goodwood handicap (1m2f, good) next time and well beaten at Ascot (1m2f) most recently, but that was on soft ground; not ruled out now back on better ground in view of the Ascot promise. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Made all in a maiden on his fourth start and very nearly followed up on handicap debut here, again over 1m on good to firm; strong in the finish that day and didn't get the chance to show what he could do upped to 1m2f at Glorious Goodwood; soft ground is a complete unknown but remains of interest. |
12/1 |

10th 13 (9) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark at the fourth attempt when making all in Nottingham maiden (1m, good to firm) in May and went very close on handicap debut in small field at Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; this race is hotter but he kept on strongly last time and could have more to offer now upped to 1m2f. |

25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Solid in three handicaps since winning his maiden at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) and despite being beaten about 7l last time the headline-grabbing winner took up over six of them; looks likely to make his presence felt. |
5/2 |
|

6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Competitive in two handicaps since winning his maiden at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) and his Hamilton conqueror last time was unexposed; has a race in him off this mark and he's proven on soft ground. |
9/2 |
|
5 (2) |
12th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Only 3l away in Newbury's always-strong London Gold Cup before coming from off the pace to win a Sandown maiden by 3l (1m2f, good to firm); strong in the betting for a Racing League handicap at Yarmouth where the ground was soft and he endured a wide trip; remains of interest. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Record is only 1-12 and most of his form is over middle distances; however, looks a possible danger at this level provided he's suited by returning to 1m for first time since debut. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Runner-up last July-October on three of his first four starts for this yard and he again finished second on this month's reappearance at Thirsk (1m4f, good), albeit no match for the winner; he could build on that latest effort and is not discounted. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Sixth career run when the odds-on winner for a 1m2f maiden for previous yard; bar one blip, he's been thereabouts in his handicaps for James Owen and this slightly longer trip is worth a go. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Has run only five times and he signed off for last season with a personal best when second of 15 over C&D (good to soft) in September; has been gelded and makes his reappearance with his potential still intact; one of four runners for Richard Hannon. |
12/1 |

2nd 2 (12) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Bolted up by nearly 10l in the novice on this card last year (7f, heavy) and best run since returning when second of six at Ascot (1m2f, soft) a fortnight ago; drop in trip a question mark, but he remains unexposed; respected. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won when upped in trip on handicap debut at Ayr (1m2f, good) in July then easily followed up in small field here (1m2f, soft); another big run when third of 21 at the Curragh (1m2f, good to yielding) eight days later; he's 14lb higher than two starts ago and drops back down in trip today, but this well-bred 3yo could still have more to offer for his top stable. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 12 (5) |
14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Much improved since being gelded, returning to win over this trip at Ayr in July and followed up off 6lb higher mark when impressively taking Ascot contest on soft ground eight days ago; carries mandatory 7lb penalty here but has been re-assessed by the British handicapper on 100 so theoretically has 7lb in hand here with ground to suit. |
15/8 |
|
6 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Had some fancy entries at the start of the season but those went west after suffering two defeats at odds-on; however, was gelded prior to getting off the mark on handicap debut at Ayr (1m2f, good; 6lb lower) and won that with a nice bit in hand; in the Cambridgeshire and retains significant potential; unraced on soft ground. |
