15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has done all his winning on good ground, including over 1m at Nottingham and Ripon in last two starts; this front-runner switches to a much bigger field, which may not be ideal, but is otherwise at the top of his form; effective at 7f. |

1st 1 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Built on Wolverhampton comeback run (7f) when showing a willing attitude to make all at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last Saturday; 3lb rise isn't insurmountable but he is set to compete from a career-high mark, so further progress is required. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Just five races, the first two for James Tate; runner-up three times, including on handicap debut in nine-runner race at Nottingham (1m, good) five weeks ago; return to 7f may well be fine and he's relatively unexposed, but taking on so many rivals from almost the widest draw asks a major question. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Second on good turf for James Tate last autumn and has bettered that form when reaching the frame in AW novices over 1m and 7f for new yard; unexposed handicap newcomer. |

Bang there over a furlong out and did best of the bigger-priced runners at the line when starting out for Thomas Faulkner at Southwell in December (1m); could step up in returning cheekpieces. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Not far away in one of these big-field C&D races last July; showed at Doncaster that month that he can win on turf and he's not been far away in any of his races this year, so he has place claims. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last win came on Chelmsford Polytrack (7f; from 4lb lower) last October; kept in decent form (4224243) this year, a sticking-on third at Nottingham (8.5f, good) 12 days ago to Saturday's Ripon scorer Highland Olly; Paul Mulrennan is a noted booking. |

Consistent in defeat on AW this year, reaching the frame for the sixth outing in succession when fourth of 13 at Southwell (1m) 11 days ago; turf winner last year; likely to be thereabouts. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Ended 2025 with a breakthrough win at Nottingham (8.3f, good); ran his best race since when fourth back at Nottingham six weeks ago (cheekpieces first time) but failed to build on it when fifth at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) last Friday; well beaten on previous attempt at 1m2f (for another yard). |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 with a breakthrough win at Nottingham (8.3f, good); ran his best race since when fourth back at Nottingham five weeks ago (cheekpieces first time); needs more to take this but it wouldn't be out of the question. |
8/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Came good at the fourth time of asking for current connections over C&D (good) last autumn; a little below that level on AW in recent weeks but may fare better back on turf; first-time cheekpieces are fitted after hanging left last time. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Promise in three 2yo runs and again on his handicap debut at Nottingham two weeks ago, shaping as though the run might bring him on; still has potential and that wouldn't apply to many of these. |
7/1 |

5th 7 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Showed a fair level of ability in three qualifying runs over 6f/7f last autumn; hasn't obviously shaped as if crying out for this step up in trip but still needs monitoring in the betting on this handicap debut and reappearance. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Winner over 1m2f at Beverley (good) last spring and went agonisingly close to a second career success on Pontefract reappearance (1m, good to soft) 11 days ago; a 2lb nudge shouldn't prevent another prominent showing if in similar form. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record is 1-10, the success off current mark at Beverley (1m2f, good) on reappearance last year; ran creditably over C&D (soft) in October; respected on seasonal debut. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
1m2f winner at Beverley (good) in April on seasonal/handicap debut; has not improved on that form but close fourth of 12 when dropped back to 1m at Pontefract (soft) last time shows he has major each-way hopes. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-race maiden but he's finished runner-up twice including in a C&D handicap (5-1) two weeks ago; looks interesting off only 1lb higher and he still has potential as a handicapper. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Placed once in four starts and that was when a well-held second of three in a Newcastle novice (1m, Tapeta) in October; surprising if he isn't capable of better, though, given his pedigree and 240,000gns price tag. |
7/2 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All three starts over 1m, showing promise on the first of two turf runs; no match for a smart prospect when second of three on Newcastle's Tapeta when last seen in October but showed enough to confirm he possesses a fairly useful level of ability; has obvious unexposed potential now handicapping on his return (has been gelded). |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Back to form a little out of the blue when awarded a handicap over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; retains plenty of handicapping scope on peak form but has done the majority of his winning on AW. |
6/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Patchy record since winning a 9.4f handicap here in December 2024; however, that was when ridden by Rossa Ryan (form figures of 11312 when he has been aboard) and he is now 13lb lower; needs a revival but a return to positive tactics from stall 1 would seem likely and he is an interesting contender. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Returned from a long absence to finish third in two AW novices this winter but made a disappointing start to his handicap career when 12l fifth at Chelmsford (1m) 37 days ago. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

He has returned from a long absence with two solid AW runs this winter, third over C&D before filling the same spot at Wolverhampton in January (7f); makes his handicap debut at a realistic level; not discounted. |

9th 7 (3) |
5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

42,000gns yearling; by Bated Breath; dam French 11.5f winner, sister to 1m1f Listed winner Pilote, half-sister to 1m Listed winner Esquisse, out of 1m4f Group 2 winner; stable also runs Dragonflame; worth a market check. |
