2nd 2 (3) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Landed a handicap at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April before finishing third of ten in the Zetland Gold Cup there next time; disappointed in the Old Newton Cup at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) in July when last seen and still has his stamina to prove for 1m4f. |
12/1 |

11th 10 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who scored from Ammes at Redcar when upped to 1m2f in April; creditable third of ten in the Zetland Gold Cup there (again 1m2f on good to firm) in May off this mark; very useful dam stayed 1m6f, so this new trip for her son could be within reach; may have more to give. |
12/1 |

3rd 4 (7) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who bagged some valuable course experience in winning narrowly over C&D last month; the runner-up had been jumping, but this 145,000euros yearling had a bit in hand and surely has more to give off a 4lb higher mark. |

10th 5 (8) |
25th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Bolted up on soft ground at Ffos Las (7.4f; cheekpieces first time) in June on his final start for William Haggas; raised his form to a new level with that success but he was clobbered by the handicapper and has been well held at big prices in both runs for current yard; others preferred. |

11th 6 (14) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Bolted up on soft ground at Ffos Las (7.4f; cheekpieces first time) in June on his final start for William Haggas; clobbered by the handicapper for that success and he could only manage a midfield finish on his stable debut three weeks ago (7f, AW; no headgear); cheekpieces now return but others appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 7f Tapeta maiden for the Crisfords and doubled his tally on third and final run for William Haggas when winning by 11l on soft ground at Ffos Las in June (first-time cheekpieces worn then are now removed); wouldn't want to be flattered by that having gone up 12lb; joined current connections last month for 30,000gns. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Nine-race maiden whose last few finishing positions (432) reflect that he's heading in the right direction, good second when favourite at Kempton (1m, AW) most recently; still less exposed over this trip than 7f; turn may be near. |
7/1 |

2nd 11 (4) |
9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Eight-race maiden who is in form, having made the frame twice on turf last month, upped to 1m the latest occasion; ran well in sole AW attempt; first success is not out of the question. |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Half-brother to winners Anner Castle (1m4f; RPR 93), Fumata (1m4f; 90), Royal Free Hotel (1m4f; 90), King Chaos (1m3f AW; 84) and Lion City (bumper); dam unplaced (74), sister to 1m2f winner, half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Simply Perfect; from a successful family, but best watched on debut unless market suggests otherwise. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Beaten over 8l in two outings over 7f on AW in recent weeks; improvement needed switching to turf. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Modest form in a 7f maiden at Newcastle on her debut two weeks ago; a big step forward is required to feature. |
50/1 |
|
5 (3) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
45,000euros yearling; second foal; half-sister to 1m2f winner Dolce Far Niente (RPR 60); dam unplaced 6f (54), sister to 5f 2yo Group 2 winner Sir Prancealot; would be a surprise winner on debut. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Fair Invincible Spirit filly who wasn't disgraced after four months off under a patient ride when fourth of six in 7f Newcastle maiden 24 days ago; she can build on it now and rates a player. |
3/1 |

6 (5) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
First-time hooded when close third in a 7f novice at Haydock in May; has been off for a while but clearly up to winning a race of this nature. |
2/1 |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Close third on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last November; underwhelming there (7f) in December but the subsequent break may have helped and this well-bred filly remains of interest; wears a first-time hood. |
