14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1m novice winner; 0-4 in handicaps and no excuses from the front in this new headgear combination at Goodwood (1m2f, soft); same mark here and with stamina to prove. |
6/1 |
|
4th 9 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not disgraced at Royal Ascot (1m) on handicap debut but has failed to land a blow in lesser races since; chance partly depends on the effects of added cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
7th 13 (11) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won a Thirsk novice over 1m last August; respectable tenth in the Sandringham in June before finishing sixth of ten at Ayr (1m, good) last month; still has stamina to prove for this trip. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Showed a consistent level when placed on all three starts (7f/1m) on a variety of surfaces last year; enters handicaps on his reappearance having been gelded and this opening mark is probably fair. |
6/1 |
|
2 (3) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Achieved RPR of 81 when just giving best to Godolphin favourite on debut (7f) and recorded same figure when outstayed on heavy ground over this trip 22 days ago; fancied to go one better. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
2nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Clear second behind a well-touted Godolphin newcomer at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) and that RPR of 81 is the best on show here; connections presumably not fazed by running him on slower ground here. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Cashed in on a reduced mark when beating four rivals at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in July but he was last of four on his return visit the following month; wasn't beaten far in that race but he's fairly exposed now and others are preferred. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Exposed but consistent and dug deep to prevail in a close finish over 1m2f here a month ago (they went steady); every chance off 2lb higher; third over this trip the time before. |
2/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to make any significant further progress since winning nursery debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in November but recent third of five here (11.4f, good to firm) was perfectly respectable and he may benefit from this drop back in trip. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Got up late to win at Kempton (1m, AW) on his debut in September and ran to a similar level under a penalty at Southwell next time; beaten a head at Haydock (1m, good to firm) on his turf/handicap debut 55 days ago and has since been gelded; open to further progress. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Hit the front in the nick of time when justifying support on his Kempton AW debut in September but he was easily outpointed by a promising type on Southwell reappearance (1m) last month, when much more use was made of him; interesting to see the tactics on turf debut but should do better. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed prior to narrowly landing a 1m novice at Kempton last September, doing well to reel in the front-running runner-up; entered in the 2000 Guineas and open to plenty of improvement. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Not disgraced in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when fourth of six in 1m5f AW handicap at Lingfield last month; needs to build on that if he's to gain a first success at the seventh attempt. |
20/1 |
|
2 (3) |
14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Beaten under 3l in his first handicap at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) but he's been laboured in both subsequent runs; still unexposed after only six starts but he needs a transformation on this step up to 2m. |

Seven-race maiden who was only narrow denied his first success when beaten a head in a C&D classified event in July; returns to handicap having been off since; may yet do better. |

3rd 5 (5) |
17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 1m4f at Leicester (good to firm) in July and 1m6f at Southwell (AW) in August; improved again when beaten a neck at Ffos Las (1m6f, soft) last month and perhaps he simply failed to stay when a remote fourth over 2m back at Southwell a fortnight ago; capable of bouncing back. |
3/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
3rd Oct 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Previous best form came on his sole start here, when making all in August on his penultimate start; took it up another notch when beaten a neck at Ffos Las (also 1m6f, soft) 12 days ago; 2lb higher but this new trip promises to suit and he's a must for the shortlist. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Bids for hat-trick after making all in smallish fields at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) and Southwell (1m6f, AW) this summer; could plausibly still have more improvement to come but moves up from Class 6 today and is not sure to be ideally suited by the slower ground. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden but he posted his best effort when second of nine at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm; jockey dropped his whip) last month; claims if building on that but he's struggled in two starts on the AW. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 9 (9) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Latest start, his sixth, was easily his closest finish but that fourth of six in handicap at Lingfield (back down to 1m2f, good to firm) was still low-level form and he needs much better. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to build on his debut third of ten at Kempton (7f, AW) last August but he didn't shape badly there over 1m on his handicap debut last month; that was his first start for 258 days and this Time Test gelding could be suited by stepping up to 1m2f. |
10/1 |
|
7th 3 (14) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Third of ten in a newcomers race at Kempton (7f, AW) last August, but two backward steps in the autumn; latest was on heavy going, so might be excused and he needs a second look on this handicap/seasonal debut. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Creditable front-running third of 14 in a 7f Kempton AW maiden on return from a break; has flitted between distances since but she made some late inroads back over 7f on Lingfield AW recently when making her yard debut; can improve on that if handling this track (tended to hang last time). |
18/1 |
|
6th 3 (8) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Couple of costly defeats for Michael Bell this season; evidently felt to have ability and perhaps the change of scenery will help, as long as she's more amenable this time coming back down from 1m; no surprise were she to pop up. |

2nd 4 (3) |
14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Raced prominently when winning a Windsor fillies' handicap (11.5f, good to firm; 2lb lower) in June; has shown she can be competitive from 1lb higher since; never seriously involved in a better race at Newbury (1m4f, good) latest but should be competitive back at this level. |
5/1 |
|
7th 12 (11) |
18th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Record of 1-9 but her win was at Windsor (11.4f) in June and she didn't get the best of runs when a close third at Goodwood (1m4f) last month; seems versatile ground-wise and she should go well again off unchanged mark. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 9 (3) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Steadily progressive in handicaps this summer, winning at Windsor (extended 1m3f, good to firm) in June and then third of nine at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last month; looked stretched by the trip on the latter occasion and she should go well back at 1m4f. |
