10th 5 (23) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won two 6f novice races last season (good to firm/good) and added 7f Listed honours on the AW in February, after which he was gelded; never really sighted when behind some of these on handicap debut at Goodwood (7f; 18-1) but that was after nearly three months away; entitled to run better this afternoon but others are probably on kinder marks. |
66/1 |
|
12th 2 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Absent and gelded since bagging Listed honours at Lingfield in February when upped to 7f and making AW debut; needs to prove he can transfer that improved form to handicap level and back to turf; otherwise unexposed over this distance and hard to dismiss. |
16/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Two 6f wins at Windsor last summer before finishing seventh in the Group 1 Middle Park; unplaced but ran creditably in three sprint runs in Dubai this year; steps up to 7f with each-way claims. |

2nd 5 (12) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No win from 12 starts but he has been in the first three on a trio of occasions, most recently when a 4l second of ten at Windsor (1m, good to firm) two starts ago; has shown promise on the AW and could go well from the front if handling this drop back in trip. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Remains winless but he got right back on track with second of ten over C&D two weeks ago; needs to build on that effort if he's to gain a first success at the 12th attempt. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ran quite well from the front when upped to 1m at Kempton (AW) last month, but managed only sixth when favourite at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) three weeks ago; now 0-10 and needs to find something extra on this turf return. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
He's been up and down this season but soft ground may not have suited over C&D a fortnight ago and he's won three of his seven starts this term (6f/5f, AW/good to firm), the latest at Sandown in July; this 3yo remains lightly raced and it will be no surprise if he bounces back. |
16/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won three of his six starts this year, notably a strong performance over 5f at Sandown on his penultimate start; only midfield at Kempton 13 days ago but it's foolish to think he had reached his ceiling. |
11/2 |
|
6th 5 (3) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
4-6 in handicaps and looked a natural over the minimum trip at Sandown 34 days ago, leading over 3f out and in no danger after (backed into favouritism when taking on his elders for the first time); 6lb rise justified; dual C&D winner who can be seriously involved. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Hasn't progressed from a promising debut second at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in August on his two runs since (6f, good to firm/good) but there have been firm hints that this step up to 7f will help on nursery debut. |
5/1 |
|
4th 3 (9) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has made the frame in 6f events on good to firm ground at Haydock (second behind a subsequent scorer) and Newmarket (rallying fourth); one of the main form contenders. |
7/1 |
|
2 (3) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
45,000gns yearling from the family of Haydock Sprint Cup winner The Tin Man; 9-2 at Haydock (6f, good to firm) and finished an encouraging second after getting the hang of things late on; the winner had the benefit of experience; must be considered. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
£170,000 yearling; went off at only 7-2 for last year's debut at Windsor (6f, good) but never really got involved from off the pace; gelded in the meantime and it will be interesting to gauge the confidence behind him after 11 months off. |
7/2 |

5th 11 (10) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

£170,000 yearling; by Dark Angel; sibling to four winners, notably Trefor (5.4f/6f including 2yo; 103) and Binhareer (6f/7f including 2yo; RPR 95); holds two major entries; interesting newcomer. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Twice-raced gelding who was placed at Yarmouth (6f) last time and could take another step forward; tongue-tie now applied; sole runner on the card for his Newmarket stable and looks interesting at this level. |
5/2 |
|
3 (2) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Stablemate of leading contender Division; recorded a meagre RPR with midfield finish at Windsor (6f, good) but looked green and may improve with the experience under his belt. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (12) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

38,000euros foal, 42,000gns yearling, 75,000gns (breeze-up) 2yo; Blue Point half-brother to Italian 9.5f winner Flamenco Bay, out of 5f AW 2yo scorer (84); major stable; heed the market signals. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win from nine starts came in a nursery at Brighton (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last September; clear second behind an easy winner at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) last month and it was another solid effort at Brighton (7f) three weeks ago; drops back in trip with claims. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won a nursery over C&D (good to firm; first time cheekpieces) last September and was returning from 166 days off when a clear second behind an easy winner at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) on Saturday (taking her record under Ashley Lewis to 122); return to this trip should suit; respected. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Wolverhampton winner for Ashley Lewis last autumn off 3lb lower; runs in a sprint for the first time since handicapping and would want to see a bit of market strength back from almost six months off. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner for George Scott and latest was at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; couple of creditable efforts on turf for current yard, but he was well held at Newmarket last time and is still 3lb higher than for his last win; others look stronger. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Won two AW handicaps for George Scott in March; fair efforts in the last two of his three runs for current yard but his latest second was in a three-runner race at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm); this drop back in trip could suit but he needs to find more to make the breakthrough on turf. |

5th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Sent off the 4-1 second favourite for his handicap debut at Lingfield in January but he ended up last of the nine runners (7f); now tried in blinkers. |
12/1 |
|
2 (9) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Has shown little in three starts over 6f/7f on turf/Polytrack and may not come into his own until earning a mark; stable also runs the newcomer Rugby Union. |

13th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner last October when trained by Oliver Cole; has been placed twice since joining this stable but he failed to beat a rival home here over 7f last month; drops back in trip needing to bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
10th 7 (4) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Placed twice over 6f for new stable (including here) and he kept chipping away when fifth over 7f at Wolverhampton (Tapeta; first-time blinkers) 19 days ago; form figures here read 123 and he's worth considering back at this venue from a tempting mark. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed twice over 6f for new stable this spring (turf/Polytrack) and also has form over 7f; needs to bounce back from a poor turf run in first-time cheekpieces two weeks ago but has slipped to a tempting mark and will be dangerous if he responds well to first-time blinkers. |

9st 2lb |
Set a strong pace before weakening into sixth of 11, beaten 4.5l, behind Elashgar here (6f) last week; continues to edge down the weights and dropping to 5f may help. |
6/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Overall record is patchy; set an unsustainable gallop over 7f here 25 days ago when tried in a visor for the first time; well drawn now back at 6f and Sean Levey takes over for the first time; could yet come good off his reduced mark (dropped 10lb in four handicap runs). |
8/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Finished down the field in all six runs and was behind Frankali when sixth at Lingfield (7f) last month; continues to drop down the weights but he took a strong hold last time and needs improvement with visor added. |
