9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His dam was a useful heavy-ground 6f 2yo winner but he was beaten a long way at 22-1 on last month's debut at Hamilton (6f, soft) and this Harry Angel gelding needs to leave that performance miles behind. |

22nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
40,000gns yearling; second foal; trainer is better known for older horses, but his dam was a useful heavy-ground 6f 2yo winner and this Harry Angel newcomer is worth a second look in view of the conditions. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
All runs over 6f; left the Russell/Scudamore stable for 100,000gns in October (gelded afterwards) after competitive shows at Carlisle and Hamilton; produced another on yard debut in a good-looking novice at Leicester; sets the standard and should have a lot more to offer. |
8/11 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Backed into 9-4 from 20-1 for debut at Carlisle (6f, good) and recovered from a slow start to be a close third; made most when beaten a head in five-runner maiden at Hamilton (6f, soft) later in September; left the Russell/Scudamore stable for 100,000gns in October (gelded since) and should be open to plenty more improvement; player. |

22nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
£45,000 breeze-up 2yo whose dam was a 7f Listed winner; backed into 9-4 from 20-1 on debut at Carlisle (6f, good) three weeks ago and recovered from slow start for close third; open to improvement; one to consider. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 0-6 when disappointing favourite in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on recent handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft); it's hard to be confident on the back of that but he was runner-up three times previously and is effective on soft ground, so it's too soon to write him off. |
7/1 |

10th 5 (5) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Placed on all four starts since his debut run, all over 6f, on reappearance finishing runner-up in a Pontefract novice (good to soft); drop to 5f could suit; interesting with headgear tried on handicap debut. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Gelded after debut then posted consistent efforts over 6f at Pontefract (once) and Hamilton (twice); solid contender and again has place claims, assuming he returns from layoff in similar form. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner off 3lb higher in November when blinkered for first time; creditable runs over C&D on last two starts (tried in a visor, which is retained, last time); a possible. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course regular whose latest fourth, back from a short break, has been boosted since by the front three all going on to win; C&D victory late last year came in first-time blinkers and he holds decent claims switched to a visor; yard also run Mystical Land. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark in a C&D nursery (blinkers added) in December and he ran into some trouble when well held over 6f here the following month; still has low mileage and he could be in the mix on this drop back in trip. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Perhaps a shade disappointing when upped to 7f for soft-ground Listed race on final 2yo start but won Hamilton maiden (6f, soft) in September and the form of her close second at Goodwood (6f, good) in August reads well; still has untapped potential over this trip and beyond; interesting. |
13/2 |
|
7th 5 (3) |
25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Went close at Goodwood (6f, good) on second start and went one better in a maiden at Hamilton (6f, soft) on latest, albeit by a head at 4-6; can still do better (including with this trip) and needs a close look. |
8/1 |
