10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Half-brother to four winners at up to 1m2f including Limato (6f/7f including AW/Group 1; RPR 126); no impact in his qualifying runs but he made some late headway over 1m on Polytrack in final two starts last year; been gelded since and he looks interesting now upped in trip on handicap debut. |

Tenth foal; St Mark's Basilica half-brother to four winners notably Limato (6f/7f including 2yo/Group 1); likely to improve for this debut. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Showed improved form when winning at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm; runner-up has won twice since) in April but he didn't settle at Haydock (1m4f, good) 25 days ago; this drop back in trip could suit and he's open to further progress. |

4th 2 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Gelded and upped in distance, showed much improved form to win 12-runner race at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance, pulling well clear with a rival who has since gone one better; should be at least as effective over this longer distance; still unexposed and has solid credentials. |
8/11 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not exactly solid on autumn novice form (7f/1m) but brings sources of possible improvement, namely a gelding operation, switch to handicap level and new trip; not ruled out. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
11-2 for handicap/seasonal debut at Goodwood (1m2f, good) three weeks ago and showed improved form to come from off the pace and win narrowly; the runner-up went one better on Monday; open to further improvement and the 3lb rise will probably underestimate him. |

Failed to build on earlier promise when sixth of 13 in 1m Kempton maiden last autumn; has since been gelded and he remains with potential now going into handicaps. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record in small-field handicaps reads 212 and he finds himself in another one; may again enjoy the run of the race in front and has a good chance of seeing it out. |
2/5 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Improved form sent handicapping over 1m4f for both starts this term, taking second at Wolverhampton (AW) and getting off the mark at Leicester (good); both were in small fields but the former race has had its form boosted substantially and the latter ended up as a clearcut win after he went on over 2f out; latest 3lb rise probably underestimates him. |
11/8 |

9st 7lb |
Advanced his form after a five-month absence (gelded) when runner-up in 1m4f Wolverhampton handicap four weeks ago; up 2lb but he's well in the mix. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Too green to do himself justice when well beaten at 11-2 on debut at Chepstow (7f, good) in August; however, he's been given some time by his top trainer and it will be no surprise if he takes a big step forward today. |
11/1 |

7th 1 (6) |
19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Fifth living foal; half-brother to an Italian 1m1f winner and a French Flat/hurdle winner; dam 9.3f winner; with a top stable but by Irish St Leger winner Jukebox Jury and very likely to need further than 7f to be seen to best effect. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Took a 7f Lingfield maiden (AW) on his comeback in March but bombed out when strong in the market on his handicap debut at Epsom (8.5f, good) next time; finished 12th of 14 at York a fortnight ago and has a point to prove now. |
40/1 |
|
12th 11 (12) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Possibly didn't take to Epsom (8.5f) last time when beaten favourite on handicap debut; recorded a ready success in Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) in his only other start this term and may still have more to offer. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gelded ahead of his AW debut when readily landing Lingfield maiden (7f) on last month's return; will probably need more on this switch back to turf/handicap debut but it's still early days and he warrants consideration. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Brother to two winners and dam was a German 1m6f Group 3 winner; however, he was an 11l sixth of eight at 12-1 on debut at Catterick (7f, soft) three weeks ago and needs to leave that behind. |
25/1 |

6th 3 (7) |
1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

34,000euros yearling; fifth foal; brother to winners Heal The World (French 7.5f/1m) and Hey Little Moon (German 1m1f); dam German 1m3f/1m6f winner; gelded ahead of this debut but needs checking in the betting. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Eye-catching second on his Nottingham debut (8.3f, heavy) in October and he built on that with a near-miss on his reappearance here (1m4f) 25 days ago; had some steering issues in that race but he finished well for a clear second and sets the standard on that form; key player. |
5/4 |

2nd 5 (2) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
35,000gns yearling by Sea The Moon; 18-1 and slowly into stride for novice at Nottingham (1m, heavy) last October but he gradually worked his way forward to emerge in second of 12; swiftly raised to 1m4f and brings clear potential, so he looks a leading contender. |
9/4 |

8 (11) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

35,000gns yearling; seventh foal; Sea The Moon half-brother to four winners including Pure Dreamer (6f-1m; RPR 103) and Consolidation (7f including 2yo; 99); trainer can ready one first time and had a 2yo newcomer go very close at Kempton last week at 18-1; not ruled out on debut. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Improved placing each start last year but, having been gelded, he returned with a low-key sixth on handicap debut at Nottingham three weeks ago (upped to 1m2f; 9-2; behind Extraterrestrial); rather watch. |
13/2 |

8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Fair form in three quick runs last autumn, finishing third of 14 at Chelmsford on the most recent of them (1m); stamina in bottom half of his pedigree but this opening mark will demand improvement; gelded since last run. |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Substantial improvement to win novice at Nottingham in October, followed by creditable sixth of seven in French Listed race (both 1m on heavy); however, eased right down from 4f out on handicap/seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m2f, good; 22-1) three weeks ago, after which it's hard to approach him with confidence. |
20/1 |

8th 2 (1) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Three months off before showing substantial improvement to win 12-runner novice at Nottingham (1m, heavy) in October; creditable sixth of seven in French Listed race on final outing; better is needed on this handicap/seasonal debut but it looks like he'll surely stay. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Encouraging third of ten at 11-1 in newcomers' race at Kempton (7f, AW) in August but a lesser run followed there (1m) last month and others in this line-up make greater appeal. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Battled greenness but managed to place in 7f newcomers race here last month (sent off 11-1); form nothing special but a similar outcome could ensue here. |

11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

January foal by Time Test; £3,000 yearling; first foal; dam placed 6f 2yo (RPR 61), half-sister to winners Rogue Sensation (useful 6f 2yo), Tchaikovsky (7f 2yo) and Kensington (1m4f/12.5f), out of 1m2f winner, is granddaughter of 1m2f-1m4f Group 1 winner Islington; stable had a 28-1 winning 2yo newcomer last month. |

3rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark in a nursery over C&D in November and ran well to finish third of six behind Fille Imbassee at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) next time, but latest effort over 9.5f here was a step backwards; needs a resurgence. |
6/1 |

6th 5 (4) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Never far away when winning over 8.6f here in November (4lb worse off now with runner-up Phantom Watch); good third of six off this mark at Lingfield four weeks ago; apprentice takes off a handy 7lb and she should make another bold bid. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Heavy ground was a feasible excuse last time and she had previously finished a close third on good to soft at Leicester (1m); could easily be a factor off this mark. |
