8th 10 (12) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Broadly progressive gelding who has form figures of 11127 in turf handicaps, the latest effort best forgiven (met trouble); ran well in a competitive field over C&D the time before; still 9lb above last winning mark but Harry Vigors takes off a useful 5lb; in the mix. |
8/1 |

7th 6 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Made it 3-3 in turf handicaps when overcoming trouble to win a shade cosily at York in May and it was a good second of 17 in valuable event at Goodwood (also 7f, good) ten days later; still progressing and he holds leading claims again. |
4/1 |

2nd 15 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

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. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best 2yo form in the fifth of five handicap starts, when a ready winner over 5f at Nottingham (soft) last October and emerged with credit from her return, coming clear with an improved rival at Haydock (6f, soft; first two well clear) recently; up 2lb but one to fear if conditions deteriorate. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (11) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
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. |
3/1 |
|
7 (7) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

In the frame in four of last five starts and proven on a soft surface, second of 12 when forcing the pace here (6f, heavy) six days ago; return to 5f shouldn't be an issue and she is respected off same mark. |

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 |
|
6th 1 (11) |
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 |
9st 8lb |
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. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
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 |
9st 1lb |
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. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in C&D handicap (good) in May on stable/seasonal debut and that form puts him in the picture; however, disappointing at Redcar (5f, good) since and now 0-10; needs to bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Placed in six of eight starts for Richard Fahey as a 2yo and, having been gelded, was beaten less than a length on stable debut/reappearance at Ripon (6f, good) last month; isn't short of speed so the return to 5f shouldn't be an issue; player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

Has found improvement from somewhere to go back-to-back here and it was by nearly 4l last time; hit with an 8lb rise but something has clicked; seems fine on all surfaces. |

1st 11 (10) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

No match for Maid In Devon three runs back but probably his best form yet when beating Solar Invincible over C&D 17 days ago; 4lb rise is fair enough. |
11/2 |

1st 5 (5) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
One win from 18 starts, on Kempton AW (6f) in January, but he's had some excuses and is now 4lb lower than when not beaten far over C&D (good to firm) on yard debut in May; tackles these conditions for the first time since so he's entitled to be thereabouts. |

9st 6lb |
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. |
14/1 |

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. |
12/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
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. |
10/1 |

2 (8) |
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. |

0-10 and he's been well held since finishing runner-up in a maiden at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) last September, including when fading into seventh at Beverley (7.5f) two weeks ago; drops into a classified. |

Eight-race maiden; has plummeted in the weights since sent handicapping (down 16lb); weakened quickly when last of eight in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby (5.5f) latest; difficult to identify many positives; headgear tweaked. |

Three-time AW winner last winter, the most recent coming at Kempton in January off a 1lb higher mark than today's, and he took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Wolverhampton last time; has won over this trip and has claims. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Progressive on the AW last winter, winning three times, latterly off tonight's mark; the return to Tapeta and drop back from 7f will help, with the visor experiment quickly binned, but he hasn't been in any form in three runs back from a break. |

Three of his four wins have been over 6f on the AW but the other came over this C&D (good to soft); latest effort at Southwell (6f, AW) can probably be excused having had a wide trip but others are still preferred; steps back up in trip in a first-time visor. |
