5th 13 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Unexposed colt whose sprinting form includes two wins last term and a respectable fifth at Newmarket (good) on reappearance; a possible danger with that outing under his belt, provided he stays this new trip. |
13/2 |
|
5th 11 (6) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Built on debut effort by completing a September double, showing versatility with the wins over 6f on fast ground and 5f on soft; readily defied a penalty in novice event at Beverley and looks open to further progress this season; possibilities. |
12/1 |

1st 1 (2) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dark Angel colt built on debut promise to land 6f Brighton maiden 22 days ago; he has yet to race on soft ground but looks to have more to offer so merits serious consideration despite conceding weight all round. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Best effort to date was at Beverley (5f, soft) last September but has been well below that level in two starts since (vet reported she bled from the nose latest); others preferred. |
8/1 |
|
17th 3 (12) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Stayed on late when a good second of nine in 5f Beverley novice in September; dwelt at the start when last of six on her AW/handicap debut at Newcastle (5f) in January and needs to get back on track. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 9 (4) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Far Above filly took a step forward from her debut when fifth of eight in 5f Thirsk novice last month; she may do better still so is no forlorn hope. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5f AW winner who has been placed over 5f and 6f on turf; beaten just 1l from the same mark at Nottingham (6f, good) but well below that level when back there over 5f (good) latest; not ruled out. |
7/2 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Record is only 1-18 but she got back near her best when a rallying second behind Tickettothestars here (6f, good) two weeks ago; should be unfazed by this drop back in trip and has claims off only 1lb higher than last time. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Record is only 1-18 and she looks fairly exposed, at least on AW; placed in two of her three turf runs (maiden/novice company). |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-race maiden whose second-place finishes over 5f in April/May suggest there may be a contest of this nature in him; form dipped when returned to 6f last time. |
5/1 |
|
7th 2 (10) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Consistent maiden who was always well positioned from a rail draw when going close off 3lb lower at Beverley 12 days ago; needs more on just his second go beyond 5f. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Adrian Nicholls; best run when beaten a nose at Redcar earlier this month (6f, good; cheekpieces on for first time); has changed yards after a disappointing run last time; one to consider despite the drop in trip. |
7/2 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He took a good step forward on his second handicap run ten days ago (6f, good; cheekpieces first time), always prominent and only picked off close home; up 2lb but not fully exposed. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Moderate form in three qualifying runs at the end of last year and well held on 5f Nottingham handicap debut and reappearance 19 days ago; first-time cheekpieces need to spark improvement. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Narrowly won 6f selling nursery here off 1lb lower in November; respectable keeping-on fourth in 6f course handicap last week; steps up to 7f for just a second time. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Narrowly won a C&D selling nursery off today's mark in November; below that level in his next three starts but he posted a good effort when third of 12 here 29 days ago; contender. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Narrowly won C&D selling nursery off today's mark in November, his fifth start, but his subsequent three runs were underwhelming; others have more pressing claims. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Signed off for 2025 with 6f maiden victory at Pontefract; went too freely in first-time tongue tie when beating just one home in 7f Newmarket handicap last month though; needs to bounce back. |
25/1 |
|
12th 1 (2) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Lacked consistency last term; registered a 5l win in Pontefract maiden (6f, soft) the final time but it remains to be seen whether he can find the necessary further progress to defy a 7lb rise in his mark; tongue-tie fitted. |
12/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Disappointing at Beverley (5f, soft) four weeks ago but perhaps the ground didn't suit; prior to that he was runner-up at Chester (6f, good) on his second start and has leading claims if rediscovering that form. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
A dual 6f winner at Newcastle over the winter and back from eight weeks off with a very good second of 14 in 6f Pontefract handicap last month; up 2lb but not out of things. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The winner of two of his five handicap runs, more recently when beating Dream Forever at Newcastle eight weeks ago; better drawn than his old rival today and may confirm the placings despite 5lb worse terms. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
Big prices and well held in three starts over 5f on turf; worth a mark check now making his nursery/AW debut in a first-time tongue-tie. |
20/1 |
|
9th 7 (7) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Land Force colt hinted at promise when a debut sixth in 5f Sandown maiden but he beat just one in similar event there 11 days ago; he has something to prove now. |
33/1 |
|
9 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Some headway in the closing stages on his C&D debut five weeks ago (50-1) but never the slightest threat to the principals; can do better at some point but he'll need a good step forward to win here. |
16/1 |
