28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Landed Hamilton maiden (6f, good to firm) on debut but better form after wind surgery when bagging Haydock handicap (5f, good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and ran well for second (5f, AW; winner on the middle leg of a hat-trick) on his reappearance, while latest start from a wide stall at Chester can be written off; needs considering. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice as a 2yo, notably a 5f nursery (good to soft) at Haydock in September; gelded afterwards; made a promising seasonal return at Wolverhampton in March, narrowly failing to reel in one who has since boosted the form; appeals as being ahead of his mark, despite a 2lb rise for Wolverhampton, but stall 12 isn't ideal. |

Won for the second time, following wind surgery, in a nursery at Haydock (5f, good to soft) in September; has been gelded since and makes AW debut; any market move should be noted. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried after winning a Ripon novice in April and he came up short in Listed/Group 2 company; back on track when second of seven in a 5f nursery at Haydock two weeks ago; raised 2lb and likely he will need to improve again to defy top weight here. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won easily at Ripon (5f, good) in April but found out in a higher grade on her next two starts; back from a small break when a fairly underwhelming third of three over C&D (good) on her nursery debut seven weeks ago; raced freely that day so may do better if settling this time. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won easily at Ripon (5f, good) in April on second start and mid-division on next two starts in a Listed race at Sandown (5f, good) and the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); now drops back down in grade for in-form trainer and could be a serious force on his nursery debut. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Haggas filly who was said to have been unsuited by rain-softened ground when well below market expectations last time (taken out at Doncaster over the weekend after the going eased); should do better. |
4/1 |

13th 11 (6) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Didn't really progress for William Haggas after winning a 6f Yarmouth maiden on her second start; late headway into fourth on her stable debut at Wolverhampton last month; better can be expected back up in trip today. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent colt who can boast 5f wins at Nottingham (novice) and Windsor (nursery off 4lb lower) this season; finished behind two of today's rivals at Haydock two weeks ago but he raced further away from the stands' rail than either Clear Force or Concert and it was also his first run on slower than good; apprentice takes off a handy 5lb; contender. |
11/2 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Nottingham novice (5f, good) in June; disappointed on his nursery debut here (6f) last month but put that right dropped back to 5f at Windsor (good to firm; Army Bugler fourth) just eight days later; respected. |
9/2 |
|
1st 1 (9) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Moving up to 6f did not work out on his latest outing but he'd shown plenty (without improving much) over 5f before that, including when second of five in a Sandown nursery on penultimate start; back to 5f today but could be vulnerable against less exposed rivals. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 5f winner for Simon and Ed Crisford at two; made an encouraging start for new yard after seven months off when fifth of 14 over C&D last month so enters calculations. |
13/2 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won two of her four nursery runs for the Crisfords, including over C&D in September (good ground); improvement necessary to overcome this mark but she can't be ruled out on her first run for Robert Cowell. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark with a winning handicap debut at Musselburgh in August and, after a blip at Windsor, she regained the winning thread under Jack Callan at Thirsk (also 5f, good) three weeks ago; up 6lb but she's got a largely progressive profile. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Catterick maiden (5f, good to firm) for Raphael Freire in July but that was a narrow success and she's taken backward steps in two nurseries since; now returns to quicker ground but she's not really progressed and others are more persuasive. |
6/1 |

6th 7 (3) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Narrowly justified favouritism in Catterick maiden (5f, good to firm) on final start under the care of Raphael Freire in June; solid effort, despite hanging, when third of eight in Windsor nursery (6f, good to soft) at the start of the month and far from discounted back down to 5f. |
8/1 |

5 (6) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Justified favouritism in Catterick maiden (5f, good to firm) on final start under the care of Raphael Freire, while shaping as if this return to 6f is worth exploring; may build on that success. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark in a Leicester novice in June and his nursery debut fourth behind Lil Brother at Windsor (also 5f, good to firm) last month was a solid effort; hasn't always looked entirely comfortable on quick ground so this forecast easier surface might suit. |
13/2 |
|
4th 4 (8) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Second at Bath (5.7f, good) was a lot better than debut, despite a stumble leaving the stalls, and he went one better with similar form in an eight-runner maiden at Leicester (5f, good to firm; led over 2f out) later in June; should bring potential to handicaps. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 25y |
9st 7lb |
Won a Windsor maiden (6f, good) for Eve Johnson-Houghton; never involved on debut for this yard at the Curragh (6f, sft-hvy); 8lb lower now and these conditions more suitable; new headgear combination goes on. |
25/1 |

11th 15 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y |

Windsor win (6f, good) last July on her second start; stiff task in a Group 3 next time and again well beaten at York on nursery debut; debut for new yard in first-time hood; market will reveal expectations; 5lb wrong. |
