12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 3-9; in first-time blinkers when a clearcut winner at Thirsk (1m4f handicap, good) last month; however, he was twice the price of Plage De Havre at York and after racing prominently he was out of sight when it mattered; he's better than that showing would indicate but still looks up against it. |
20/1 |

10th 4 (16) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
First two wins were on heavy/AW; there have been a couple of disappointments in his eight-race career but he followed two AW seconds by winning a six-runner race at Thirsk (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; up 5lb in this much more competitive race but he won in clearcut style in first-time blinkers. |

1st 1 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won last September on his first two starts for this yard (heavy/AW); disappointing favourite at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on his reappearance but he's been runner-up at Kempton in both starts since; switches back to turf with blinkers now tried; contender. |

1st 7 (8) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Below par over hurdles at Market Rasen in July last time; however, he won the competitive Swinton Hurdle at Haydock (1m7f, good) in May and followed up in good style on the Flat at Kempton (2m, AW); lightly raced in this code and there remains potential in his mark judged on his bumper/hurdle form; effective on testing ground early in his career; could play a leading role. |
13/2 |

6th 2 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
2-3 in bumpers and 5-11 over hurdles after leading late on in the Swinton (good); that was in a first-time tongue-tie that was also on when winning a 2m AW handicap in late May; off just 4lb higher than at Haydock, he's very much in the mix. |
17/2 |

1st 10 (3) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Bumper and pretty useful hurdle winner, including at Haydock in the prestigious 2m Swinton 18 days ago when tongue tied for the first time; Flat career of just four races, latest when fourth of eight from the back when joint-favourite on Flat handicap debut at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in April; has more to offer in this sphere and is one to note. |

Became disappointing over hurdles for Harry Derham last year and was down the field when returning in 1m4f AW handicap for new stable in March; opposable. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Fair, four-race maiden on AW Flat for Jamie Osborne last year; runner-up in two of his eight hurdle races for Warren Greatrex but soundly beaten on last two outings, claimed for £6,000 from a seller in May on latest; best watched for now. |
25/1 |

5th 6 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Relegated into a seller and he has form claims, having finished runner-up on two occasions this year; however, he did run desperately only ten days ago. |
5/1 |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-6 over hurdles but ran well when close second at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) last month and is probably still on a workable mark after 1lb nudge; good chance. |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gelded before landing a handicap here over 1m5f in November; good places at Lingfield in two of his three starts since, bouncing back to be beaten a head over this trip in first-time cheekpieces 22 days ago; now 2lb higher but he should have more to offer over this far. |
7/4 |

9th 7 (4) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Well held at big prices in three novice events (1m2f/1m4f) but he shaped like a stayer when third of five at Epsom last month and is a possible improver now upped to 1m6f on handicap debut; needs watching in the market. |

Maiden whose best efforts have come on the AW when placed in two maidens; recent efforts leave a bit more to be desired. |

30th Sep 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 205y |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Can win a race and the ground was soft when beaten a shade under 4l in a 1m handicap at Chepstow most recently (first-time tongue-tie); thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden but has shown he can find a race; best effort was when beaten a nose at Kempton (1m, AW) in January and if can replicate that form on turf then he comes into the equation; has left Pat Phelan since his last run in March; sports a first-time tongue-tie and has to be of interest for new yard. |
5/1 |

5th 3 (6) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden but he finished well to go very close over C&D (11-2) in January; only 1lb higher after a short break and he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form. |

9st 10lb |
Placed in all three novices including two over 1m4f on Polytrack, but failed to beat a rival on handicap debut at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) nine days ago; return to AW may help, but she has something to prove after that latest effort. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Richly bred 3yo, out of dual German Group 1 winner who's bred some classy winners, including Farrh; has kept good company in three qualifying runs on turf and the AW (1m2f and 1m4f), showing promise each time, and has to be of great interest in her most realistic assignment so far. |
