23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Creditable sixth to Startled at York last week but finished out of the first two for the first time and failed to show further progress; that defeat suggests he's not the percentage call in another competitive field. |

6th 3 (10) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Doesn't seem totally straightforward but he has a solid record (2122) and may do better still; gelded prior to good effort behind Passing Thought at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) on handicap/seasonal debut; in the mix. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (5) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Delivered on debut promise when winning Thirsk novice (7f, good to firm) last August and probably bettered that form when second in a quite valuable Ayr race (7f, soft) a few weeks later; makes handicap debut after seven-month absence (gelded in the autumn) but should have more to offer. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Comes with a degree of risk having been turned over at odds of 1-8 in Pontefract maiden (1m) on seasonal debut, extending his seconditis; otherwise again sets a useful standard on his Group 3 effort at Newbury (7f, soft) last October; siblings include a 1m2f winner. |
11/8 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Frankel colt who showed progressive form in defeat last autumn, culminating in good second behind the market leader in the Horris Hill at Newbury (7f, soft); went close over 1m at York (good) the time before; clear top on the figures. |
1/6 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
The only maiden in this field and jumps up in class; however, has raced only twice and went close at York (1m, good) the latest time; bred to do better still, being related to several winners for his owner. |

1st 5 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Rounded off his 2yo campaign with a game 1m2f win at Pontefract (soft), after which he was gelded; made all to beat his sole opponent in a Southwell match (1m4f) last month but he could manage only third behind that reopposing rival at Chester (a solid effort nevertheless) three weeks ago; still capable of better; trainer also saddles High Storm. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Improved with each of his three runs in 2025, signing off with a 1m2f Pontefract novice win (soft) in October; gelded before another improved effort to win handicap at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last month, in just a two-horse race but against in-form rival Magnetude (who reopposes); up 3lb but more to give. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improved with each of his three runs in 2025, signing off with success in a 1m2f Pontefract novice in October; gelded since and he appeals as the sort to do better still this season, especially now up in trip. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Well-backed winner at Ayr (7f, soft) last September on sole 2yo start and made it 2-2 in Wolverhampton novice (8.6f, AW) last month, again doing it cosily; has potential off his opening mark and the booking of Ryan Moore is a bonus. |

1st 1 (6) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
320,000euros breeze-up purchase who justified strong market support at Ayr (7f) in sole 2yo start, scoring in the style of a useful prospect; entered in two Irish Classics; looks well up to defying a 7lb penalty. |
10/11 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
70,000euros yearling, 320,000euros 2yo breeze-ups; Wootton Bassett half-brother to six winners notably Talbeyah (8.5f-1m2f; RPR 99) and Sarrocchi (7f 2yo/1m Listed); dam 7.5f/1m winner (including Listed); has to be of interest in view of that purchase price in May, all the more so if well backed. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Improving son of Cotai Glory who spreadeagled his field on his first go over 6f in a Ripon maiden nine days ago; a most interesting handicap debutant. |
9/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
0-6 but he's recorded RPRs in the 70s in all of his runs, including when second at Catterick (7f, good) and Southwell (7f, AW) this spring; sets a clear standard back on turf and he has shaped as though this drop to 6f could suit. |
4/6 |
|
2nd 4 (9) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Showed ability in all four starts last year, including when sixth in a competitive race at York in October, and ran another fine race when second of 11 in a maiden at Catterick (7f, good) on his return 15 days ago; good claims if coping with the switch to AW. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who is making her handicap debut; fair fourth in a Musselburgh maiden last November (7f, soft) but better form on the AW; first run on fast ground. |
13/2 |
|
6th 9 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Three 7f runs last autumn, her C&D second looking a notch above her two soft-ground efforts either side; needs more back from six months off on her first crack at sprinting. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 12 (4) |
7th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Eventually weakened over 7f on soft ground at Ayr, finishing sixth of seven; may last longer and show improvement on this surface with the outing under her belt. |
16/1 |
