24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't really kick on last year after winning at Ascot (7f, good to firm) on debut but he reappeared at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month having been gelded and defied a slow start to win by half a length; it was a small field but the clear runner-up finished second in a good handicap at Newmarket subsequently and this fellow may well be in the mix up 6lb. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Looked fortunate to win at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July on debut; third of five in a novice on the July Course here (1m, good to firm) in August but, having been gelded, failed to stay in a nursery at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; drop back in trip may help but others are more solid. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Both starts on good to firm; fortuitous winner at Sandown (7f; runner-up unlucky) but wasn't disgraced under a penalty at Newmarket (1m); gelded since; this Godolphin runner remains open to progress and must go on the shortlist. |
5/2 |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
13-2 and the apparent stable second-string when winning on last month's debut at Sandown (7f, good to firm); the unlucky runner-up has since gone one better; now carries a penalty against some interesting opponents but this half-brother to a Group 3 winner could have lots more to offer. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Consistent nursery form features a win at Leicester (7f) in August and close second at York (1m) last time; chance of defying these stiffer terms depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
11/1 |
|
2 (1) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won three-runner nursery at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in August and ran okay when fourth of eight at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; however, he needs a bigger run today against some unexposed rivals. |
5/1 |
|
3 (8) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Close second at Doncaster (good to soft) and game winner at Leicester (good to firm) since switched to nurseries, both over 7f; raised only 1lb for latest performance and may remain competitive. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won two novice events last summer; easily best of his six efforts since have both been from well off the pace over 7f on good ground at York, including his second in 14-runner race 17 days ago; back up 2lb but has to be worth a go beyond 7f (dam 2m winner) and needs a second look. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 5 (15) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Seemed to run well in valuable event over C&D last autumn but needs to prove he can transfer that form to handicap level; failed to do so at Pontefract on reappearance, albeit perhaps needed the run. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won two novice contests last summer (good; including C&D) and kept on for close third of 14 in sales race at York (7f, good) in October; his peak form puts him in the picture but there's a suspicion the drop back in trip will be against him on his reappearance; gelded since last time. |

3rd 11 (7) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Made the running when beaten a neck on nursery debut at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last September, which was the second leg of a four-timer for the winner; reappeared with an easy 10l win at 2-5 in a maiden at Southwell (1m, AW; made all) in March and looks well treated today, given that his mark is unaltered since that win. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Five-race maiden who has shown more than enough to win a race; stepped up a little on his maiden/novice form when just held on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m) in September; subsequently gelded and sets a clear standard on this AW/seasonal debut. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has a record of 3-5 overall and 2-2 since handicapping, most recently beating sole rival at Yarmouth (1m, good) seven months ago; beat a total of 16 opponents in gaining his other wins; major contender, with further improvement plausible. |
4/1 |
|
6 (3) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Brings strong form having made his first two starts in races won by the subsequent Solario winner; off the mark at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) since and looks the type to do well in handicaps, with further improvement on the cards; respected. |
4/1 |
|
8 (6) |
13th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Stepped forward from his debut effort when second of four in novice at Sandown (7f, good to firm) 32 days ago; the winner of that race has since been narrowly beaten in a Listed event; commands respect. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Best effort when fourth at Ffos Las (7.4f) on penultimate outing; opening mark doesn't look generous but improvement is possible switched to nursery level; market support should be heeded. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Green on debut at Ascot (7f; 11-1) last month but showed the benefit of that experience when fourth at Ffos Las (7.5f; 3-1) 15 days ago; respected on switch to AW. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
11-1 when ninth of 14 on debut at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month; however, that performance wasn't without promise and his useful pedigree provides optimism he'll be capable of considerably better; trainer is in excellent form (including with 2yos) and he could have a part to play. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent once handicapping last season before finding 1m2f beyond him latterly; entitled to have come on for his recent comeback, having been gelded, and this is easier but he's vulnerable to improvers now. |
8/1 |
|
8th 9 (8) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Ran seven times last year and sole win came in four-runner nursery at Kempton (1m, AW); also effective on turf and gelded since last seen; however, unless he finds improvement he's vulnerable to less-exposed types. |
33/1 |
|
3 (3) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Steadily progressive colt who won small-field Kempton nursery (1m) last month, his fifth run, and was creditable third in quite valuable event at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last week; up in trip here; good chance. |
