29th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 3lb

Ended 2025 with a pair of wins in Kempton nurseries (1m and 7f); he has struggled in two handicaps this time around, however, and comes here with a point to prove. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two nurseries here last autumn (C&D, 7f), latterly off a 4lb lower mark; made a low-key comeback on rain-softened turf recently (Trio third; Crafty Blue behind) but should fare better back on Polytrack. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Got off the mark at the eighth attempt in Chelmsford nursery (7f, AW) last November on his second AW start, and he again had plenty in hand when following up at Kempton (1m, AW); needs to transfer that improvement back to turf but he did show promise on grass last season; not ruled out. |

2nd 5 (2) |
29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Shaped with plenty of promise in his qualifying runs; best nursery run when chasing home a thriving rival at Newmarket last week (7f, good; clear of the third) and he holds obvious claims off the same mark in this lower grade; AW debut. |

1st 2 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb
|
Improved for the switch to nurseries last summer, winning easily at Ffos Las and Doncaster (both 6f) before finishing off strongly for sixth in a much stronger race at York's Ebor meeting; better than ever when winning a C&D handicap in April and his subsequent fifth of 19 at Ascot was in a Class 4; could still rate higher; key player despite a wider draw than ideal. |
9/2 |

5th 12 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
More exposed than most but he won third handicap when making all at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; just held on) four weeks ago; also won twice at 6f on sound turf so these conditions should be no problem, but a 4lb rise might be. |
14/1 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual turf winner (6f) last summer and he's run respectably from the front at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in his last two starts; should benefit from his reappearance run last month and he's still unexposed at this trip; dangerous with cheekpieces reapplied. |

Runner-up twice over 7f but no improvement for a step up to 1m and switch to nurseries when 4l behind Chapman's Peak here 16 days ago; others look open to greater progress. |

Seven-race maiden who isn't progressing; not beaten far on his last two starts but needs improvement for the step up in trip. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

First two runs were promising; stiff task at Glorious Goodwood but his nursery debut at Wolverhampton ten weeks ago was underwhelming; gelded since and now sports cheekpieces. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved with each of his three runs in maiden/novice company, most recently finishing second of ten over C&D ten weeks ago (tongue tied, absent today); gelded prior to his nursery debut; case can be made that he is well treated and his market prominence thus far would suggest he was well thought of early on; interesting. |

20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Down the field at York (6f, good; 13-2) on debut in May but he took a step forward when third of 11 at Ffos Las (6f, good; 2-1) 35 days ago, albeit still beaten around 7l; steps up to 7f with a tongue-tie added for his AW debut; better needed. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Signs of ability in three maiden/novice runs from 6f to 1m; needs more now handicapping but that certainly isn't out of the question. |

Failed to threaten in three quick maiden runs (7f-1m) on Tapeta this autumn; the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt this time. |
