7th 8 (2) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins from six starts for three different yards but he was disappointing in a 7f handicap at Thirsk (ninth of 13) last month; has bit to prove again after that and he's untried on AW. |
16/1 |
|
9th 7 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly-raced 4yo; attracted support and made a perfect start for new connections when seeing off 14 rivals at Doncaster three weeks ago (7f, good to soft); 5lb higher in a better race but there was a lot to like about the way he responded to pressure last time; can do better. |
4/1 |

1st 7 (2) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ran well in Yarmouth handicap when bidding to follow up his Redcar novice win (both 7f); subsequently sold out of Ed Walker's yard for 20,000gns; interesting contender, being unexposed. |

2nd 6 (9) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
16-race maiden who can be difficult to settle and was well beaten at Ripon (1m, good) last month on sole previous run beyond 7f; however, he kept on strongly for seventh of 13 at Catterick (7f, good) last time, suggesting this trip might be worth a go, and his mark continues to fall; visor removed. |
14/1 |
|
7th 5 (4) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
15-race maiden who could do with settling better; however, 1m stretched him at Ripon last time and prior to that he was a fairly encouraging fourth over this C&D (good) on his reappearance; not ruled out back down in trip. |
12/1 |
|
9th 6 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Maiden (0-14), runner-up five times, including in a 6f Southwell novice last November; ran respectably (keen) when fourth in a newly applied visor at Catterick (7f, good) latest; should stay a mile (first go) and is on a fair mark, more so if factoring in Mason Paetel's 5lb claim. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Newmarket raider; six-race maiden who is proving reasonably consistent and whose handicap efforts, all at about 1m, suggest this step up in distance may well prompt progress; first success is conceivable. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Kept on for third over this C&D on her handicap debut, doing best of those from off the pace, and posted another solid effort when fourth at Beverley (8.5f, good to soft) 22 days ago; good claims back on AW. |
5/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in all four starts, including when keeping-on third on her handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) ten days ago; same mark and should be fine returned to turf; fitness is guaranteed and she's a leading contender. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promise in three 2yo runs and again on his handicap debut at Nottingham two weeks ago, shaping as though the run might bring him on; still has potential and that wouldn't apply to many of these. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Showed a fair level of ability in three qualifying runs over 6f/7f last autumn; hasn't obviously shaped as if crying out for this step up in trip but still needs monitoring in the betting on this handicap debut and reappearance. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Out of the frame in three starts over 6f/7f, but dam's side of pedigree offers encouragement now up a furlong on handicap debut; worth a second look. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Attracted support into 13-2 on debut at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) but he missed the break and was always behind; well beaten at Haydock (7f, good) 68 days ago and has since been gelded. |
25/1 |
|
8th 6 (3) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Attracted support into 13-2 on Doncaster debut (6f, good to firm) in May but he missed the break and was always in rear; should be more streetwise this time but he needs a transformation upped in trip; stablemate of Grey Jaguar. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Twice-raced filly who needs improvement for the fitting of tongue-tie. |
40/1 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Beat only one rival home after an awkward start on debut at Southwell (7f, AW; 66-1) this month and needs to have taken a big step forward from that now switching to grass. |
66/1 |
|
8th 5 (9) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Third foal of a 5f 2yo winner (RPR 79) who is closely related to smart UAE 6f-9.5f winner Faulkner; the betting should help guide as to expectations. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed some promise when fifth on debut over C&D (good to soft) in July but he went backwards from that effort here on quicker ground in August; return to slower ground could help but he may be one for handicaps. |
33/1 |
|
4 (3) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Lacked the pace to get competitive in a C&D maiden (good to soft) on his debut three weeks ago; open to improvement but it is a must. |
50/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
20th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
35,000gns yearling; fourth foal; Mehmas half-brother to winners Inhaler (5f-7f; RPR 86) and Love Trophy Power (5f/6f; 77); dam 7f winner (73), half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Frederick Engels, smart 6f winner Colonel Mak and prolific 5f-6f winner Piazon; market can guide on debut. |
