28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who made it 3-3 since being gelded (1m, good to firm/good to soft) when winning by 3l at Haydock last October; sole runner for trainer who has won this five times and he may well evolve into something better than a handicapper; firmly in calculations up 8lb for last time. |

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. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Beat a regular bridesmaid in a three-runner maiden at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month; probably achieved more when third of seven on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m, AW) 17 days ago (runner-up has won since); each-way claims if handling the likely slow ground. |

3rd 8 (2) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

Beaten a neck over C&D last month before winning a three-runner maiden at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago; returns to 1m for his handicap debut and may yet have more to offer. |
7/2 |

19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

Has shown promise all three starts, latterly when inclined to pull hard from a wide stall over 1m at Lingfield (AW); will be happier back down in trip on that evidence and is shortlisted for a yard going well of late. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
11-race maiden for whom the drop back to 7f isn't an obvious positive; however, he could he sharper in the first-time visor and he was denied a clear run when fourth of 15 at Newbury (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, when no match for three improving, fellow 3yos; could be a contender. |
10/1 |

4th 10 (10) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-10 albeit in the frame on ten occasions, as when beaten a head into second of four in a Wolverhampton maiden (9.5f, AW) a fortnight ago; this looks a competitive race in which to attempt to break his duck, though. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Useful form in defeat as a 2yo; comparable efforts in handicap company at Goodwood (1m, good) in May and at Southwell nine days ago; leading form claims but could be vulnerable to something less exposed. |

9st 7lb |
Both wins in AW novices (7f/1m) early this year; runner-up over 1m in two of his four starts on turf but below form in both spheres on last two outings; bit to prove, including on softer than good. |
14/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins in AW novices (7f/1m), but runner-up in two of his three starts on turf (both over this trip on straight tracks); needs to put a modest effort at Southwell (1m, AW) behind him, though. |
14/1 |

13th 10 (2) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |

C&D novice winner who was a close third in a warm 3yo handicap over C&D last month; beaten 5l when runner-up at Newmarket since but behind a fast-improving winner and the AW may be more his thing; major player back here. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Generally performed with great credit last season, including a 6f Hamilton win in May off the same mark as today; never involved in either start this year but his stable's good recent form provides some hope. |
14/1 |

13th 1 (8) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Generally performed with great credit last season, winning a 6f handicap at Hamilton last May off 2lb lower and ending his campaign with a second of nine at Newmarket; never in contention at Beverley on his return to action 16 days ago (7.4f, good to firm) and likely best watched for a yard having a quiet year. |
16/1 |

Campaigned mostly over sprint trips and gained his Beverley win at 5f (also effective at 6f); close second at Newmarket when last seen but doesn't appear to be crying out for this step back up in distance. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Has a rather all-or-nothing profile, easily winning 7f Leicester nursery (heavy) last October and a Lingfield handicap (7.6f, soft) in June; not sure what to expect and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. |
33/1 |

11 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Very patchy profile and he's yet to reproduce the form of his wide-margin Lingfield win (7.5f, soft) in June, when possibly flattered by bagging the stands' side rail; handicapper still in an unforgiving mood. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to win a handicap but not for a lack of effort and he ran well for second over C&D last month; perhaps stretched by 1m2f at Lingfield last month and he is one to take seriously back down in trip. |
3/1 |
|
11th 8 (4) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came in a Lingfield maiden (6f, AW) a year ago, but is back off the same mark as when beaten half a length over C&D (good to firm) in May; soft ground not a problem and each-way claims if reproducing that form. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

9st 4lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 7f/1m on good/good to firm in May and June last year; right out of form in August/September but reappearance fourth at Epsom (8.5f) nine days ago was a step back in the right direction; looks bred for 1m2f (has had one attempt) but may need a career best. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Won two of his first three handicaps and may have been undone by slower ground last time (drifted to 4-1; subsequently taken out of a race due to it being soft); perhaps best watched on AW debut, for all that his half-brother has won twice on Tapeta. |

Rattled off a hat-trick over 7f/1m on good to firm ground in the summer, but looked to fail through lack of stamina when fifth of eight at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) 18 days ago; return to this trip should suit, but is unproven on ground softer than good. |

Won over 7f at Thirsk (good) and Haydock (good to firm) in May, but finished a well-held sixth of 11 on her return/handicap debut at Sandown (7f, soft) three weeks ago; 1m should be within range, but she has questions to answer if the ground remains on the soft side. |
