31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Seven-race maiden; promise in 7f handicaps this summer but he does need a jolt of improvement for today's step up in distance |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to score but he went fairly close at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on his handicap debut in April; hasn't repeated that effort in two subsequent runs, including over that C&D last time, but it's still relatively early days and he's back down in grade. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Second over C&D on his stable/seasonal debut in April; not quite so good at Haydock one month later but still early days and the C&D form is solid enough; high on the list. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
In decent nick without winning this season until tried in cheekpieces when a below-par sixth of ten to Mereside Princess in 1m Carlisle handicap last month; more is required. |
11/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six-race maiden who has broadly consistent RPRs; made late headway from rear over 7f at Doncaster on turf debut most recently; possibilities upped further in trip, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |
9/2 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Proving consistent; gelded before a keen-going fourth of seven in 6f Newcastle handicap last month; he remains with some potential at this trip if proving more tractable. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Can race freely, just as he did when third at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) behind a subsequent French Group 3 winner; didn't see a mile out on soft ground at Windsor next time but shaped well when dropped to 6f in a handicap at Kempton (AW) 15 days ago; back into a novice with good claims. |
5/1 |
|
8 (5) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Had some learning to do when a close third at Ffos Las (extended 7f) to a subsequent French Group 3 winner but he couldn't sustain his effort over 1m at Windsor (soft; joint-favourite) last month; can pull hard so the drop to 6f could suit now handicapping. |
7/1 |
|
7th 4 (10) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Both starts at about 7f, finishing midfield at Ascot then taking a step forward with third-place finish at Ffos Las (good); bred to be suited by going up in distance; likely player who is a similar type to Arbaawy. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't see the trip out when fourth at Newcastle (7f, AW) in July but has been runner-up at Thirsk (6f, good) and Newcastle (6f, AW) in two starts being gelded; blinkers now go on and he sets the standard. |
11/8 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Good effort when second over C&D (second start) in June; made a big move before not staying 7f here next time and was gelded before finishing a solid second of 16 at Thirsk (6f, good) last month; leading contender. |
6/5 |
|
2nd 8 (12) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown promise all three starts, losing two places near the finish when fourth of ten at Newcastle (7f, AW; subsequently gelded) on latest; should be suited by today's drop back to 6f; remains open to improvement and commands plenty of respect. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-9 but he has run several good races in defeat this summer, most recently finishing third of eight at Leicester (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; each-way shout once again. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (4) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-8 but he was a front-running second of 11 at Bath (5.5f, good; beaten 3l) last month; however, he dropped away after showing early speed at Windsor (5f, good to firm; reported to have stopped quickly) three weeks ago and needs to bounce back. |
6/1 |
|
11th 10 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-7 but a drop to 5.7f at Bath (good; unraced on firmer) last time produced a front-running second of 11 off today's mark; admittedly beaten 3l but he was clear at one stage and this first attempt at 5f is interesting. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in all six starts on turf, finishing runner-up in the last four including when dropped to this trip for the first time at Wolverhampton (AW) on Tuesday; likely to run his race again, but he has become expensive to follow. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Now 0-5 but has yet to run a bad race and has been knocking on the door in 6f handicaps; solid claims. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
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. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to get off the mark but has been placed twice in handicaps this year; first-time cheekpieces are applied and he should be suited by this step up in trip. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
12th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Best effort when beaten less than a length on handicap debut over C&D in March; twice held since, though latest Kempton effort forgivable on account of the draw; shortlisted. |
6/1 |
|
6th 2 (11) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Calyx gelding who has made a solid start since joining his current yard, fifth of ten in 7f Lingfield handicap 16 days ago; no forlorn hope eased 1lb here. |

16/1 |
|
7th 11 (3) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Five-race maiden whose two handicap efforts (7f/5f) suggest she may improve for this return to 6f; not particularly easy to recommend on bare form, however. |
20/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Dropped right away having raced freely in a 7f handicap here in January, her second run for new connections; had hinted at ability in novice company though and she could still have a bigger run in her; drops to 5f for the first time. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two 5f Polytrack wins last winter and confirmed she's no one-trick pony with some good turf runs of late; involved. |
7/4 |
|
4th 10 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won twice on AW over the winter and she has run two solid races back on turf this summer; suspicion a few of these will have her measure tonight though. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Untried on softer than good ground; three runs on turf and the best of them came last time out when third of 12 at Windsor (6f, good) 19 days ago; was mucked about that day and this dual 5f AW winner should be fine back down in trip, especially given a likely good gallop despite the small field. |
