2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two nurseries here (1m/7f) last October and ran his best race since when second of six at Lingfield (1m, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last month; continues to drop down the weights and he's a player if he can build on that last run. |

9st 10lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of AW wins, the second coming over C&D off 5lb lower; the handicapper has been in command this year but he's not discounted back on AW. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Nursery wins on final two starts last year (7f/1m, AW) and he returned to form when third of six at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; today's longer trip could be within range for this Without Parole colt and he might not be far away. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made just about all for his two wins at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in the spring, but was raised 10lb for his 7l romp there last time and may face competition for the lead on this return from three months off. |

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. |

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. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
No great progress in AW handicaps from last October to January but he found a powerful finish to make a successful return to turf at Newmarket (1m, good) in June; beaten at short odds but still matched that winning RPR when runner-up back there (good to firm) a week later; freshened up since; considered. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No great progress in AW handicaps from last October to January but he found a powerful finish in his first turf run at this level when winning over C&D (good) last week; this could take more winning under a penalty (goes up the same amount in future) but he's open to improvement. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
A maiden after five starts but made encouraging seasonal/stable debut when fifth of nine at Kempton (1m) three weeks ago; may benefit from this drop back in trip and is a player if that recent run brought him on. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Showed clear promise in novice/maiden events last summer but he was well held in a nursery here (7f) in his final 2yo run; still early days but he needs improvement upped to 1m on return for new yard. |

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. |

Scored at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in December but he's not proving the easiest to catch right this season, only ninth of 18 at Galway (8.5f) 15 days ago. |

31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 98y |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Gained a breakthrough win at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in December but not seen since going too freely when last of five in 1m2f AW handicap at Lingfield in January; yard is going very well though so can't be ruled out back in trip here. |

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. |
