3rd 11 (11) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with a ready win in a small-field nursery at Newcastle (1m); better form when second of seven, beaten a short head, at Southwell in April; flopped on fast turf last month but he could resume his progress back on AW. |
9/2 |

6th 5 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive; won Newcastle nursery last autumn and went down narrowly in Southwell handicap on reappearance; both those runs over 1m on AW (ran respectably on only turf outing); may be ready for a step up in distance but should still be thereabouts. |
6/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Came good at fifth attempt, winning five-runner Newcastle nursery (1m) from off the pace in October; not seen since but remains unexposed over this trip; contender if fully tuned up. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
In-form 3yo who is 2-6 since handicapping; fitted with cheekpieces in last two starts, winning at Hamilton then creditable fifth in notable event at Carlisle, both over 1m; likely player off bottom weight in the retained headgear. |
8/1 |

5th 16 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Won 1m handicaps at Southwell (AW) in April and Hamilton (good; 6lb higher today) 15 days ago; that's two wins from eight starts and he should be a lot more exposed than most of today's rivals, but he was firmly in charge in first-time cheekpieces on that latest outing. |

1st 6 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Landed 1m Southwell handicap in April; only sixth under an aggressive ride at Haydock (1m) six days ago but no surprise to see him bounce back with cheekpieces added. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Territories gelding; in the frame on all his four runs to date, returning with a good fourth on his handicap debut at Southwell (1m) last month; this keen-going sort holds solid claims back down to 7f. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Often pulled hard last year and was gelded over the winter; this season his issue has been blowing the start and that's what cost him any chance last time; up to winning off this mark but has to be considered risky now. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Brighton novice winner last season at 1m; gelded in November; perhaps needed his first run back and then he stuck on gamely for a close third at Windsor (1m, good to firm); could step up again but will need to in this better race. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 11 (5) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ended four-race 2yo campaign with clear win in Brighton novice (1m, good to firm) in October; never looked like winning on his seasonal/handicap debut at Southwell last month; may need more of a test. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
May not have achieved that much when justifying odds of 1-2 in a Lingfield novice (1m, AW; first start since being gelded) in February and was well beaten on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in April; this is only his second start on turf, but other look more compelling. |
14/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Delivered on 2yo promise when dominating five-runner Lingfield novice (1m) from the front in February; unlikely to have things all his own way in this much stronger race but probably still has potential. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Stepped up on debut when second over 7f here last September and advanced his RPR again when third in 7f Newmarket maiden later that month; those efforts set the standard here; has been gelded ahead of reappearance. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Initially promising but hasn't kicked on in handicaps (0-3; 7f-1m) and blinkers are removed after last time; bit to prove, though getting back on fast ground is a likely plus. |
16/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Fair maiden who wasn't discredited with fifth of nine in 1m Nottingham handicap 18 days ago; not out of things eased 1lb with blinkers added. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Gelded since finishing last of seven at Southwell (1m, AW) on handicap/seasonal debut; may do better returned to turf with the outing under his belt, having shown some promise in this sphere as a 2yo. |
