3rd 5 (6) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Made the most of a favourable draw, running down the pacesetter at Redcar (6f, good) in June; down the field in both subsequent runs, but he looked stretched over 7f at Doncaster last time and is now only 3lb higher than for his win; could be dangerous back in trip. |

6th 9 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Made the most of a favourable draw, running down the pacesetter at Redcar (6f, good; from 4lb lower) in June; below that level at Thirsk, but this is easier, and Jake Dickson's 5lb claim is handy; stamina is untested beyond 6f. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt with a ready win at Redcar (6f, good) 11 days ago, strong at the finish; up 5lb in a higher grade but he's not fully exposed just yet. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
11-race maiden but he has been runner-up on three occasions (7f/1m); fair effort in a first-time visor (now removed) here in a maiden handicap over 7f eight days ago but this longer trip asks another question. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-10 but he has finished second in three of his five runs this summer, the latest at Ripon (1m, good) 16 days ago; visor tried today (second in cheekpieces in June when headgear was tried once before); should be involved. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Nine-race maiden but has made the frame five times, although his best efforts have been when second twice over 7f; holds place claims. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Redcar (5f, good) in June and short-headed by Naana's Shadow over this C&D (good) seven days later; not beaten far when sixth then fifth in big fields at Ascot (5f, good to firm) and Goodwood (5f, good to firm) on his last two starts; in with an each-way shout. |
15/2 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form over 5f and although he paid a high handicapping price for a wide-margin Redcar win in June, he so nearly overcame the 8lb rise at York next time against Naana's Shadow; had more to do at Ascot (good to firm) after but produced another sterling effort in a close sixth of 15; solid claims back against his own age group. |
13/2 |
|
6th 13 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Making good progress for his new stable, gaining a deserved success at Redcar last month and following it with a fine second of 13 at York a fortnight ago; a 5lb rise for that defeat does ask an even stiffer question of him but he's not taken lightly. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Came good with two AW wins in April (5f/6f) but seemed quickly to go off the boil in June; further progress is not yet out of the question but he needs a two-month break to have done him good. |
4/1 |
|
10th 1 (5) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
String of solid efforts in the tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination prior to a poor one last time; that came on turf, though, and he'll be happier back on the AW and over an easy 6f, plus he's well drawn for one happiest up front for a yard in fine form of late. |
4/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well on the AW since fitted with a tongue-tie and cheekpieces, coming away with the favourite last time; raised another 4lb so needs to transfer the improvement to turf. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Firmly on the up for his new stable, making all at Catterick before narrowly denied by Rotokura Belle over C&D; back to winning ways with a Newcastle success 15 days ago (much more convincing than the neck margin might suggest); up 6lb in a better race but he's a speedy and progressive 3yo who commands major respect. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Promise for Adrian Nicholls and plenty to spare when making all in a 5f handicap at Catterick on stable debut; bettered that form when neck second (Yellow Diamond 4l behind in fourth) of 13 at York (5f, good) 13 days ago, keeping on well despite losing his left cheekpiece approaching the final furlong; raised another 5lb but the third, Schrodinger's Cat, won easily at Redcar on Saturday; should have a big say on AW debut. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 15 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
Showed promise for Adrian Nicholls and he had plenty to spare when making all in a 5f handicap at Catterick on his stable debut; 8lb higher and raised two classes but he's unexposed at 5f. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of Class 6 wins on AW (7f/6f); his progress has continued back on turf, making all in 6f handicaps at Redcar and Doncaster; another 5lb higher today and also steps up into a Class 4 but he is still more appealing than many. |
5/2 |
|
1st 7 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Appreciated the drop in class back on turf when well supported at Redcar last month (6f, good to firm; made all); up 4lb and this is stronger but he enters the equation. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten favourite in three of his last four starts, including C&D; peak efforts give him a chance but not a compelling option. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In the frame on all five starts last season, including when fourth on handicap debut over C&D on final outing (2-1 favourite); pulled hard when below-par on Beverley reappearance (5f, good to soft) but should come on for the run; interesting down in grade. |
3/1 |
|
7th 15 (9) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
In the frame on all five starts last season, best run when a clear second in a Redcar novice in September (5f, good); has a chance on that form but lacks a recent run. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Promise as a 2yo but she suffered two heavy defeats in handicaps in April (sent off favourite for the first of them); new blinkers need to turn things around. |
16/1 |
|
11th 11 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Five-race maiden who has not progressed so far and was disappointing when favourite on her Catterick reappearance (5f handicap) 12 days ago; still unexposed and mark is falling but she needs more on AW debut. |
10/1 |
|
10th 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Could only manage fourth of eight on her 5f Redcar handicap debut (good) in October but the fact she went off the 13-8 favourite suggests better was anticipated; remains unexposed and it'll be interesting to see if there's money for her again back from six months off. |
