16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Talented, albeit is a shade quirky, and made a mockery of his mark in Southwell handicap (6f, AW) on reappearance; eventually dropped away in Ascot Group 3 since but may still have more to offer; not written off. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Five runs as a 2yo; made debut over 6f but campaigned at 7f afterwards, running away with a maiden at Chester (good to soft) before a good second in a York sales race last October; absent for five months prior to a facile success in a 6f handicap at Southwell in March, racing freely and hanging left in the straight but in a different class to some fair handicappers; in much deeper today and looks to face a stiff task at the weights but the Southwell performance smacked of a hugely talented, if slightly wayward, colt and this stiff 6f should suit; unraced on faster than good. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 2 |

Consistent 2yo, including a facile success in a Chester maiden (7f, good to soft) in September, and was last seen beaten a short head in a valuable event at York (7f, good) the following month; back in trip for his handicap debut and the market should be revealing. |

Campaigned only at 6f, mostly on AW (admittedly went close in sole turf attempt); soundly beaten on finals day at Newcastle most recently; 0-3 since handicapping and now goes into unknown territory trip-wise. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins at about 5f (good to firm and good) as 2yo for previous yard; no progress for this one in 2026, finishing in mid-division at Newmarket (first-time cheekpieces, retained) in April; gelded since; likely needs more weight off his back kept to 6f. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Reasonably exposed and doesn't look the answer on the balance of his AW form this year; gained his 2yo wins at a lower level; chance largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made a winning start for current yard in 6f Southwell novice in January and he's continued in good form, fourth of 14 in 6f Newcastle handicap last month; this return to 7f promises to suit so he's firmly in the picture. |

4th 5 (11) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Debut win for Joseph O'Brien at Dundalk (7f) last October; ready win at Southwell on stable debut (6f) in January and ran well under a double penalty at Lingfield two weeks later; finished behind two of today's rivals when fourth at Southwell three weeks ago; needs to raise his game but that is possible. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 2 |

Won a Dundalk maiden (7f, Polyrack) for Joseph O'Brien last October and a C&D novice for this yard in January; only fourth of seven in a valuable novice at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) a fortnight later, but he was carrying a double-penalty and a couple of winners have come out of that race; player |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Enjoyed a fine spell on AW during the winter, winning four consecutive handicaps at 6f across January and February; came back to form when returned to 6f with third of 14 at Windsor (good to firm) on Saturday; same mark (due to go up 2lb) and this is less competitive. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Enjoyed a fine spell on AW during the winter, winning four consecutive handicaps at 6f across January and February; good effort when second in Class 2 at Lingfield (AW; 50-1) on his next start at that trip but hasn't been at his best over shorter in two turf handicaps this spring; still not totally ruled out back at 6f. |

Often front-runner and won four times on the AW over 6f this winter; gave it a good go from the front at Lingfield on Good Friday before weakening into sixth, but he was well beaten at Bath (5.5f, good) 26 days ago; needs to bounce back. |

Won her first two handicaps, both over 6f on AW this winter; she has come up short in good handicaps on her last two starts but she is back against her own sex this afternoon and isn't impossibly treated if the cards drop right for her. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Back-to-back C&D wins in December and up against it from where he was when a close fifth back here in February; perhaps didn't take a liking to Southwell when below par there last time and could still be on the upgrade. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 2 |

Dual Lingfield winner (6f, Polytrack) in December, but finished behind a couple of these when fifth of 12 there a fortnight ago; was up against it in attempting to come from so far back, though, so it wouldn't be a surprise were he to fare better; |

Returned from a gelding operation to win back-to-back C&D nurseries in December; came up just short in his hat-trick bid at Newcastle six weeks ago but it was another step forward in form terms; return to Lingfield should help and Ashley Lewis takes off a useful 5lb; good chance. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
3yo who arrives on the up; easy winner at Bath (5f, firm) last month and ran well considering he was drawn wide and slowly away when fourth at Chester next time; still unexposed and commands major respect. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Wolverhampton novice winner (5f) who ran a blinder for third in a 6f handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday, hampered early then racing wide throughout but still producing a strong finish; confirmed the merit of that effort when outclassing his rivals in a 0-80 at Bath 11 days ago (5f, firm); he is a sprinter firmly on the up but stall 11 will not make life easy. |

Campaigned on AW this year, best form when scoring readily over 5f in February and close third (despite wide trip) over 6f last time; may do better still; possibilities back on turf. |
