23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual nursery (5f, AW) winner who was outpaced when a little short of room on his turf debut at Bath last month; this step back up to 6f should help. |
11/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Has built up a solid record on AW, latterly 1123 since handicapping and dropped to 5f; good effort on reappearance last time; likely player, assuming he proves as good on turf. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive 2yo who was involved in tight finishes for all three 5f Tapeta handicaps, winning over C&D and at Wolverhampton before having what may have been a difficult task at the weights at Newcastle in December; can be dangerous off the same mark. |

5th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Sent off the 4-1 second favourite for his handicap debut at Lingfield in January but he ended up last of the nine runners (7f); now tried in blinkers. |
12/1 |
|
2 (9) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has shown little in three starts over 6f/7f on turf/Polytrack and may not come into his own until earning a mark; stable also runs the newcomer Rugby Union. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Well drawn, but out of the frame in all six starts and finished tailed off on this month's Bath return (5.7f, good); cheekpieces given a go, but best watched for now. |

4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive sort who made it three wins in four starts this year when squeezing through (hit on the nose by rival's whip) to lead towards the finish and beat the reopposing Eduardo Calderon at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago; nudged up only 2lb and another bold bid looks assured if he as effective on softer ground (well held on good to soft last year but it was in a valuable sales race). |
5/2 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten a nose on handicap debut at Newcastle (7f), after which he was gelded; won on Tapeta and Polytrack in next two starts and was a creditable second in his hat-trick bid at Kempton (7f) three weeks ago; still lightly raced and he's a big player if he can transfer his progress back on turf. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten a nose on his handicap debut (7f), after which he was gelded; 2-2 in handicaps this year, winning narrowly at Wolverhampton in February and having more in hand than the head margin indicated over C&D two weeks ago; latest 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Placed in four of his five starts on the AW (including over C&D), the latest when beaten under a length by a rival rated 10lb superior in a Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) 13 days ago; relatively exposed but still a major player in this field. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fair maiden who wasn't disgraced on his first go in handicaps when seventh at Lingfield (6f, AW) 22 days ago; not out of things back in novice company on his first go over 7f. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Well beaten on his debut (6.5f, good) but he has run well in three AW maidens since; moves into handicaps with the potential for rmore but he will need to step forward to defy this mark. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven starts on the AW including a narrow success at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in January, but has not matched that form in two outings in headgear since; enough to prove on turf debut. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
First run beyond sprint trips when winning an ordinary, small-field Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f) in January; met traffic upped to 9.5f latest (first-time cheekpieces; switches to a visor here) and can't be ruled out under experienced 5lb claimer Ashley Lewis. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Steadily improving and made it fifth-time lucky when winning by a head here (8.6f) in January; 3lb higher and should stay this far, but the form of that race hasn't really worked out; cheekpieces given a go. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Again inclined to pull hard, despite the hood, on his first crack at 7f last time; the return to sprinting should suit on just his second turf start. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
No progress in his three 2yo runs but he returned after a gelding operation with a near-miss on handicap debut at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; 2lb well in off the same mark here and he's open to more progress at this new trip; interesting contender. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
His best run last season was on debut when fourth over 6f at Goodwood (hooded in his final race); has been gelded and his yard's patient approach offers hope for him making a better 3yo; market could be informative on this handicap debut. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Closely related to smart AW performer Cool Hand Luke; built upon promising debut when leading close home at Wolverhampton (6f) in October; makes handicap debut after 170-day absence but should have more improvement to come; tongue-tie added. |
4/1 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
£350,000 yearling; pleasing start to his career when third of 13 in a C&D maiden 16 days ago; open to plenty of improvement and he is high on the list. |
3/1 |

8 (7) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

April foal by Tasleet; £350,000 yearling; closely related to 6f 2yo winner Cool Hoof Luke (including Group 2; RPR 108); dam well held 6f AW 2yo only start (45), sister to Italian 5f Group 3 winner Lohit, half-sister to Italian 1,000 Guineas winner Lokaloka; stable can get them ready first time and well worth a market check. |

February foal by Union Rags; $30,000 yearling; 220,000gns breeze-up 2yo; dam unraced sister to Japanese 6f 2yo winner Dona Lucia, half-sister to winners Casual (US 8.3f Listed) and A Shin Spartan (Japanese Group-placed 6f-1m), out of US 7f Grade 1 winner Lady Tak; his price-tag makes him interesting, but the stable doesn't have many winning 2yo newcomers. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of Class 6 wins on AW (7f/6f); his progress has continued back on turf, making all in 6f handicaps at Redcar and Doncaster; another 5lb higher today and also steps up into a Class 4 but he is still more appealing than many. |
5/2 |

1st 7 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Appreciated the drop in class back on turf when well supported at Redcar last month (6f, good to firm; made all); up 4lb and this is stronger but he enters the equation. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Got off the mark at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December but 9lb hike looks to have dented his progress judged on his two runs since. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Bumped into one over C&D on his stable debut last month and made no mistake at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (cheekpieces first time), keeping on strongly; this is a lower grade and a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent a big run. |
2/1 |
|
1st 9 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Heavily supported on his stable debut at Lingfield (5f) four weeks ago, a race where he bumped into an improving sprinter; capable of better and he is a key player with cheekpieces now given a go. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 7 (3) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Went close on his handicap debut at Kempton in December (6f); subsequent third at Southwell came in a Class 4 and this should be more manageable; new stable (same owner) quick to drop him in trip. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Limited encouragement when qualifying for this level and on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (about 1m, AW); however, she came home with a wet sail to take a close fourth at Bath (extended 5f, good) this month and things do seem to be falling into place now; likely contender. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (10) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Modest form in three 2yo runs and she was a well-beaten 40-1 shot at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut six weeks ago (8.6f); now reverts to sprinting. |

6th 1 (6) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark at the third attempt at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last October and took another step forward when sixth of 19 in Listed race at Newmarket later that month (6f, good; unraced on softer); with a good trainer and she's open to further improvement, but it's very much necessary today. |
