5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won over Chester's extended 7f in May and ran well in the Bunbury Cup in July; however, he was well held in France last time and his AW record leaves a bit to be desired; needs the first-time tongue-strap (replacing cheekpieces) to have a positive effect. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Performed well (first and third) at Chester in last two turf attempts and may be capable of further progress returned to this sphere; helps to give his connections, who also run Aalto, a robust hand. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |

Good effort to win a 7.6f handicap at Chester on his reappearance and he ran to a similar level when third back there (7f) four weeks ago; today's stiffer test at the trip will suit and he has shown promise on AW. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Impressed when winning two fast-ground novices at Yarmouth (7f/1m) just over a year apart; too keen when sixth to Zeus Olympios in 1m Group races at Haydock (led) and Newmarket (held up) in the autumn; has switched from Tom Dascombe to Andrew Balding ahead of reappearance (same owners); also gelded which could help to settle him down; Double Rush's exploits this spring underline the yard's prowess with new recruits and this one has similar potential. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Unbeaten in two fast-ground novices at Yarmouth just over a year apart, impressing with the way he drew clear late on over 1m in August; up in grade but went off too hard when fading to finish sixth behind Zeus Olympios in Haydock Group 3 (1m, good) three weeks ago; bundles to find but he's the type to run above himself on a track that might favour speed; hood added. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Unbeaten in two fast-ground novices at Yarmouth just over a year apart, impressing with the way he drew clear late on over 1m on return three weeks ago; definitely more to come but this requires a fairly big chunk of improvement; the ground is almost certain to be slower this time but the same connections' useful half-brother Auld Toon Loon is very much at home on good or softer. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won two in a row on heavy ground last autumn and he's well handicapped on the pick of his efforts in the first half of this summer; however, he hasn't shone more recently and needs to raise his game this afternoon. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |

Reasonably consistent this season until losing his form in last few outings; registered only wins for current stable when completing a Doncaster 7f double last autumn and may be more interesting when back there. |

Merely midfield at the Galway festival on last two starts but he's run some really good races in defeat here this year; close third in this race last year and versatile ground-wise; very capable of being in the mix. |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Three-time winner in Britain; 0-11 for current yard but has run some sound races and chased home the favourite in a non-handicap last time (7f); there's a race in him off this mark. |

Hold-up handicapper has yet to win for this yard; some good runs over 6f/7f this year, but basically he's been too high in the weights; usual running style not ideal for this place. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Similar efforts since wearing cheekpieces, finishing 3l fourth both times, latest over 6f (usually races at further); remains well treated on peak performance, namely a 7f success off 7lb higher last season. |
12/1 |

4th 9 (8) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Gained both wins over 7f; raced too freely when fourth in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Sandown (7f, good to soft) last month but is worth a crack at sprinting in the new headgear and has become well handicapped. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (6) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Won this race last year on soft ground and he's now 4lb lower; shaped well from unfavourable draw when seventh at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; returning to 7f should suit, and rain would not inconvenience him in the slightest; wears headgear for the first time; big player despite unflattering form-figures. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

6yo who has been campaigned over further for the majority of his career but he's been a progressive sprinter this season, finishing third in a Group 3 at Sandown (5f, good) on July 4 then runner-up in Group 2 at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) last time; however, this tougher race demands more. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Beaten on his last 16 starts going back to May 2024 and he didn't deliver on a hint he was on the way back at Chester in May when beaten 7l at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago; just 1lb above his last winning mark, however, and first-time blinkers might help him put his best foot forward. |

12th 1 (4) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Acts on most ground; has won three handicaps at Musselburgh this season and gained her first Listed success when scoring at Chester (7f, good) in June, but she was below that level at Pontefract (1m) last month; has a better draw than she did when down the field in this contest last year but is now 11lb higher than when last seen in handicap company. |
22/1 |

6th 1 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Could hardly be coming into this in better form, winning four of her last five starts including another Listed event at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; still favoured on these terms despite her 3lb penalty and although the stiffer mile is one small question mark, she is a major player nonetheless. |

Has added two wins this year, at 7f and 6f (both on good), the latest when coming clear in good style at Pontefract 12 days ago; back up 6lb but he's never been better and this easy 7f shouldn't be a problem. |

Coped well with the drop to 5f when winning the Gosforth Park Cup on Newcastle AW in June; respectable fifth in a Beverley Listed event (5f, heavy) 13 days ago, albeit without any excuses; this trip should be fine and he handles all ground; each-way shout back in a handicap. |

Group 3 win on soft ground in Germany in 2024; chequered history since but the drop to 5f and fitting of a tongue-tie sparked a transformation at Newcastle in June, winning the Gosforth Park Cup in game fashion; not certain to be in the same form again but he won't be far away if he is. |
