6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
All three turf races as 2yo were on soft or heavy, making most and rallying stoutly to win a maiden at Nottingham (1m) on final outing; gelded since; seemingly no doubt that he will still be suited by 1m2f+ and nothing to prove if the ground is testing; one to note on seasonal/handicap debut. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Pretty useful form when second in a novice at Salisbury (1m, heavy) on second start, when he beat all bar the market leader and they were clear of a subsequent scorer; close third of five when 5-6 at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on latest outing was fairly lacklustre in comparison, but he's very much the one to beat if reverting to his Salisbury form. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who has improved since wearing cheekpieces; swamped by rivals who challenged wider at Ripon most recently; in excellent hands and may do better still. |
13/2 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
27th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
A couple of short-priced defeats in early runs, not looking the easiest on his comeback, but the cheekpieces have definitely helped; won well from the front in the spring (Polytrack) and backed that up on his handicap debut last time; holds obvious claims. |
6/4 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Promise when placed in both starts last year (good to soft and soft) but it was much his best effort when cheekpieces and/or AW sparked a win in Kempton novice (7f) 17 days ago; handicapper didn't miss that but still warrants plenty of respect on his debut in this sphere. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Best effort when third on 1m4f Newmarket handicap debut (good) 12 days ago, staying on in a style which suggests there could be more to come as his stamina is drawn out. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Third at Nottingham (1m, soft) on second start last October and not discredited when 25-1 in a novice won under Sorin Moldoveanu by a much shorter-priced stablemate at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on April reappearance; 575,000gns yearling whose dam was useful over 1m4f+, so all in all he needs a close look on handicap debut. |
8/1 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Showed promise in a couple of maidens (around 1m) last October; steps up in trip on AW debut but may be a longer-term project; Birgham Dub looks the trainer's main hope. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April on second start and runner-up in novice there (1m2f, good to soft) in May when last seen; he's not obviously well treated off his opening mark but this 220,000gns yearling is bred to be suited by 1m4f and is open to further improvement; wears a first-time tongue-tie; one to watch in the betting. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Cost 220,000gns as a yearling; both starts at Nottingham, latest six weeks ago (1m2f, good) when building on his 2yo effort (1m) and scoring comfortably; this Irish Derby entry looks likely to improve further; respected under 7lb penalty. |
7/4 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Got tired in the final furlong when fourth of nine in an 8.3f maiden (soft) here in October, but it was still an encouraging start to his career; the longer trip should suit and this Irish Derby entrant is open to plenty of improvement this year. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
He is on a hat-trick after making all (odds-on) in small-field handicaps at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm); handicapper hasn't been going overboard and he holds leading claims once again. |
4/7 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Expensive to follow this season before being found a weak handicap over C&D last time, when always in control from the front; has only been nudged up 1lb for that and has a decent chance of following up. |
5/4 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Consistent maiden but has been favourite three times; ran his best race last time when runner-up at Newbury (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago; steps up in trip and should not be far away. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Improved from his handicap debut here (1m2f) when beaten 3l for sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) one month ago; could have a say back on turf. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (10) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not close to troubling the judge in his four races, last time always out the back on handicap debut at Windsor (1m2f; 10-1); in good hands but hard to be confident about him right now. |
14/1 |

8th 5 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Modest in three starts over 1m on turf/AW late last year, but may improve now upped in trip for his handicap debut after six months off; worth a market check. |

Suffered a heavy defeat (well behind A Taste Of Glory) on Kempton AW but shaped as if this combination of a longer trip and fitting of headgear may prove beneficial. |

Has found his level since handicapping over 1m, finishing close up on Kempton AW in May before showing the right spirit to hold off his rivals at Ripon (good); less convincing with his finishing effort at Windsor since but dam's side of pedigree suggests this trip could suit. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

Unplaced all six Flat runs for Joseph Parr, showing no significant promise (including off lowly marks); changed hands for 1,000gns in May; cheekpieces removed after one use; best watched on stable/hurdle debut. |
66/1 |
|
10th 10 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Yet to offer much in five outings, a never-dangerous sixth in 9.5f handicap here 17 days ago; cheekpieces go on now. |
