23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Overcame trouble to win a shade cosily under Saffie Osborne at York (7f, good) last week, taking his record in turf handicaps to 3-3 and record since upped to 7f to 2-2; may well show further progress and defy another rise in the weights; respected. |

9st 7lb |
Progressive during last year's eight-race campaign, finishing second in a nursery at Nottingham (6f, heavy) last October and going one better there (5f, soft) six days later; reappears with conditions in her favour; chance. |

9st 9lb |
Won at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in August on third start; finishing sixth of 14 at Lingfield (7f, AW) recently on his second nursery start and shaped as though he may benefit from this return to 6f; not ruled out each-way. |
12/1 |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Best run when winning a 7f Chelmsford maiden (AW) in August; pulled too hard when last of six over 1m on handicap debut last time; interesting back at 7f. |
9/1 |

6th 3 (7) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Better with each of his three starts, as he's gone up in distance, culminating in a Chelmsford win a month ago; stamina not assured on the dam's side, upped another furlong and on to Tapeta, but he could well have more to offer if seeing it out. |

9st 2lb |
Made it 3-7 on AW when scoring here (6f) last month but she was only third of six at Newcastle (5f) two weeks ago; wasn't beaten far in that race but she needs to kick on again to defy this mark. |
12/1 |
|
4th 14 (5) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) on October 11 on second nursery start and kept on for third of seven at Chelmsford (5f, AW) last Wednesday; the return to turf poses a question but she could have more to offer for her good trainer now back up to 6f. |
8/1 |
|
6 (6) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Off the mark at the fifth attempt when coming from off the pace to beat Redditizio in a 5f nursery at Wolverhampton on Saturday; 6lb penalty for that success asks a stiffer question but this well-bred filly still has time to do better. |

0-8 as a 2yo for Richard Fahey, albeit having made the frame six times; changed hands for 20,000gns in the autumn and was subsequently gelding; reappears on a workable mark; market may guide. |
12/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-7 but has often run well, finishing a close third in a nursery at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in August and returning to form when third in a maiden at Ayr (6f, soft) last time; might not be far away. |
7/1 |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Kept busy by previous yard, getting off the mark on Kempton AW (6f) in January; inevitably more exposed than some but he acts on turf and ran well for a long way over C&D this month for his new yard; a likely contender. |
9/1 |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

0-7 since winning on debut at Southwell (5f, AW) in April; didn't run badly when fourth in nursery at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last time but didn't pose a threat and needs to raise her game this afternoon. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won a 5f novice on debut in April; has faced some stiff tasks since, including nurseries at the Ebor and St Leger meetings, and this looks more realistic; rider's claim useful too; cheekpieces return after being left off latest. |

AW success on debut; no progress on turf since but the combination of a physical tweak (wind surgery since last run) and Oisin Murphy (up for first time) may do the trick. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has shown ability when fifth in 5f maidens at Beverley on his last two starts (good to firm/soft); doesn't appear straightforward and the return to 6f isn't a guaranteed plus (he's from a family of 5f sprinters) on nursery debut, but the first-time tongue-tie/blinkers could help; not discounted. |

17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Showed some ability dropped to 5f on his second start when fifth of eight over C&D (good to firm) last month; was only beaten around 3l but he needs more improvement on this return to slow ground. |

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

25-1 and beaten around 11l when last of six on his debut at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago; speedy pedigree and he can likely do better on this drop down in trip. |

Much his best effort when second in a Pontefract maiden (6f, good to soft) last September; well below that level in four subsequent starts and is plummeting in the handicap; cheekpieces need to have a positive effect. |

8th 7 (5) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Well backed at big prices over 6f here when last seen six months ago; best effort last season came after a break and it will be interesting to see if the money comes again down 3lb. |
14/1 |

9th 6 (2) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Left his first two runs well behind when 80-1 second on stable debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) last month; tailed off there since (6f, soft) on his first nursery start but endured a wide passage from the outside draw and he's not written off in view of his previous promise. |

Took well to AW when winning a 6f nursery at Chelmsford in November; hasn't always had the rub of the green since but latest C&D second was a good run and he goes off the same mark; big player if he gets away on terms. |

Three wins last year, the last two at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta); enjoyed anything but a clear run when third of seven at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) last time and the winner didn't do the form any harm in a valuable handicap at Newcastle on Friday; respected. |

Having been gelded he was sent off favourite for last month's nursery debut at Yarmouth and won by a neck (7f, good to soft; unraced on softer); hit the front over 1f out last time and there's every chance he'll be fine now back down to 6f; key player in first-time cheekpieces up just 2lb. |

Sole win from ten starts came in a maiden at Bath (5.5f, soft) in September when trained by Kevin Philippart de Foy; solid effort when runner-up at Kempton last month but he was reported to have run flat at Bath four days later; could bounce back. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

His 2yo win came at this track (5.7f, soft); running himself back into form for new stable, never out of the first two when second to an unexposed opponent at Kempton on Wednesday (6f); still inclined to over-race but dropping back in trip might help. |

Regressed after maiden win for previous yard; proved resurgent over 6f at Lingfield (on second run for new stable) most recently and has possibilities provided he builds on that effort. |
