1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
The Bath maiden (5.3f, firm) he won on debut in August wasn't an especially strong event but he was well on top at the finish; failed to build on it in a sales race at Newmarket one week later but he was sent off the 7-2 second favourite and wasn't well drawn; capable of better and should be involved despite a penalty and a wide draw. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
The horse he beat last week at Bath (extended 5f, firm) is now 0-7 but this colt won well and represents Clive Cox who excels in these races (had the winner at York on Thursday); seven days is a quick reappearance but has to be respected. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Fairly consistent when placed in three AW qualifying starts and it was an encouraging handicap/turf debut when second of seven at Yarmouth (again 6f, good to firm) last month; probably capable of better and he's respected. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Third in two starts on the AW in October and ran another solid race when second of 11 at Newcastle on his 6f reappearance (having been gelded) 33 days ago; switches to turf for his handicap debut and looks a contender. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 (7) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Half-brother to an AW winner for his connections; duly showed ability over 6f at Kempton and Chelmsford in October, finishing third both times; gelded since; remains open to improvement. |

5th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unplaced in three 6f novice runs for Eve Johnson Houghton last year; sent off the 4-1 favourite for his stable/handicap debut at Leicester three weeks ago (7f, good) but never featured; no better back at Leicester ten days ago but that was in a Class 5; down in the weights and his best RPR came in his only AW start so it's too soon to discount him completely. |
10/1 |

8th 12 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Well held in three qualifying runs (6f) for Eve Johnson Houghton last season; 4-1 favourite on handicap/stable debut over C&D (good) 12 days ago but he was always in rear and finished 15th of 17; has good pedigree and is still early days but he needs to leave that latest form a long way behind. |

14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A fair sprint maiden at 2yrs but he's failed to fire this term, gelded before coming in last of ten in 6f Kempton handicap 13 days ago; steps up markedly in trip here. |
25/1 |
|
10th 4 (9) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden; gave it a good go from the front at Lingfield in December (5f; blinkered first time) but two disappointing runs have followed; has been gelded since latest run and is down in class with a good apprentice booked so a revival not impossible, for all he carries risk. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 (3) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden; made a bold bid over 5f here last month but the blinkers didn't have the same effect at Chelmsford four weeks ago and they are now discarded; has the best form but vulnerable to anything progressive. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark on his second start when taking Kempton novice (AW) for Oliver Cole in October; gelded ahead of his stable debut when third of 13 in Ripon handicap (also 6f, good to soft) last month on his return from a break; pedigree offers hope he can do better this term and his yard's going very nicely. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Green on 2yo debut but took a big step forward when winning a 6f novice at Kempton on his second start (well backed); stiff task next time and his subsequent Southwell third (7f) was a solid start to his handicap career; sold out of Oliver Cole's stable for 35,000gns in February and gelded; new connections quick to drop him back to sprint trips and he remains with some potential |
5/1 |
|
5 (1) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
260,000gns yearling with a fine pedigree (half-brother to 2000 Guineas winner Chaldean amongst others); sent off the 15-2 fourth favourite for his Windsor debut (6f, good) 23 days ago and although he finished down the field, he did show some promise amidst evident inexperience (awkward leaving the stalls, green throughout and also inclined to over-race early); no surprise to see him take a big step forward. |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Out of the frame in three starts over 6f/7f for Andrew Balding last year and he was last of six at here over 8.5f on his handicap/stable debut 37 days ago; drops back in trip with a tongue-tie applied; better needed. |
14/1 |

6th 6 (6) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Out of the frame in three starts over 6f/7f for Andrew Balding on turf/Polytrack last autumn; has been gelded and makes his stable/handicap debut after five months off having changed hands for 12,000gns in October; may be best watched. |
12/1 |
|
6 (3) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Down the field in two runs last month, a 7f maiden here and a 6f novice at Yarmouth two weeks ago (good to soft); likely he has a bigger effort in him at some point and the reduced emphasis on stamina can help this time. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Kept on for encouraging fifth on debut at Kempton (6f, AW) on October 1; down the field in Listed race at Redcar (6f, good to soft) three days later; retains potential for good yard now up in trip and back down in grade; the hood worn on first two starts is left off; could have a part to play. |
7/2 |

11 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 1 |
8st 8lb |
Showed something to build on when never-nearer fifth of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f, AW; 28-1; hooded) on Wednesday, but needs a major leap forward just three days on. |
28/1 |

7 (6) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Third foal; closely related to 5f/6f winner Resilience (including 2yo/AW; RPR 89), half-brother to 5f winner Expert Opinion (including AW; 78); dam 5.7f 2yo winner (85), half-sister to smart 1m/1m2f winner Sinjaari; hooded for debut and with Oisin Murphy on board stablemate Lifeguard perhaps he is one for the longer term. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Close second at Kempton (6f) on debut in October and has good claims here if judged on that performance, but two lesser efforts have followed and he moves up in trip with a point to prove. |

2nd 2 (1) |
16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Both 2yo starts over 6f in October, keeping on for neck second at Kempton then beaten favourite at Brighton; may confirm the debut promise returned to AW; remains of interest. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

6th 9 (3) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |

Made a low-key start at Kempton (6f) last October but she left that form behind when a front-running third at Chelmsford (7f) two weeks ago; needs to build on that but she has a good pedigree and is open to more progress on this drop back in trip. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
