2nd 15 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Overcame trouble to win a shade cosily under Saffie Osborne at York (7f, good) last week, taking his record in turf handicaps to 3-3 and record since upped to 7f to 2-2; may well show further progress and defy another rise in the weights; respected. |

Got up in the final strides upped to 7f at the Newmarket Craven meeting (good) last time, taking record in turf handicaps to 2-2; could well improve further and he represents last year's winning yard; shortlisted. |

9th 6 (2) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won two novice events last summer; easily best of his six efforts since have both been from well off the pace over 7f on good ground at York, including his second in 14-runner race 17 days ago; back up 2lb but has to be worth a go beyond 7f (dam 2m winner) and needs a second look. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 5 (15) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Seemed to run well in valuable event over C&D last autumn but needs to prove he can transfer that form to handicap level; failed to do so at Pontefract on reappearance, albeit perhaps needed the run. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won two novice contests last summer (good; including C&D) and kept on for close third of 14 in sales race at York (7f, good) in October; his peak form puts him in the picture but there's a suspicion the drop back in trip will be against him on his reappearance; gelded since last time. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Reliable type who again gave his running when third of 14 over C&D at the Dante meeting (good); nudged up 1lb but that should not prevent another bold bid. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 15 (6) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Ended his 2yo season with a hat-trick; consistent efforts this term, good third at Beverley (7.5f) most recently; getting no respite from the assessor but is reasonably solid and likely to give his running. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Completed a hat-trick at Doncaster (6f) in November to end 2025 and he's continued in very good form this spring when in the frame in 7f handicaps at Southwell and Newbury; ought to be in the shake-up again. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Became a tad exposed for Karl Burke and finished behind a couple of today's rivals, admittedly not disgraced, at Wetherby (7f) most recently; subsequently sold for 28,000gns; 0-7 since debut win. |
20/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Well down the field in two valuable AW handicaps at start of this year but this month's second at Southwell (7f, AW) was much better, albeit no match for the winner; probably needs another step forward. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Justified skinny odds on his Pontefract debut (6f, good to firm) last August and ran well on turf afterwards, but having been gelded has been well held in two starts on the AW since returning in January; needs a resurgence over the extra furlong. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Successful 2yo debut and later close up in a 6f York handicap (good to firm) last August; best effort since when beaten about 1l at Newmarket in April but the step up to 7f back at York last time wasn't a particular positive, even though he ran perfectly well in fifth of 14; major contender back at 6f on drying ground. |
5/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Made a winning debut in 6f novice event at this meeting last year; has become quite exposed kept to sprinting since but this combination of new trip and return to the Dante festival may have a positive effect. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Came to hand early last year, winning a York novice on debut before finishing second in the Listed National Stakes at Sandown; only sixth in the C&D handicap won by Sovereign Spell 16 days ago and he needs that run to have brought him on significantly. |

Creditable sixth to Startled at York last week but finished out of the first two for the first time and failed to show further progress; that defeat suggests he's not the percentage call in another competitive field. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (10) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Doesn't seem totally straightforward but he has a solid record (2122) and may do better still; gelded prior to good effort behind Passing Thought at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) on handicap/seasonal debut; in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Delivered on debut promise when winning Thirsk novice (7f, good to firm) last August and probably bettered that form when second in a quite valuable Ayr race (7f, soft) a few weeks later; makes handicap debut after seven-month absence (gelded in the autumn) but should have more to offer. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Handicap debutante who seems to face a difficult task and has something to prove off a mark that stems from a 7lb rise for her apparent good effort in the Fred Darling; failed to back up that form last time. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
7f AW maiden winner who was fourth of 14 in the Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good) a fortnight ago; she's raced five times and others may have greater potential, while she could do with settling better, but she appears to be improving and might not be far away. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Fourth attempt when winning a Thirsk maiden (7f, good) in April; made most when below form on handicap debut at York (7f, good) 17 days ago, which can probably be forgiven from widest draw and he was second favourite that day; 5lb claimer is recruited for this hot race on first crack at about 1m. |
14/1 |

8th 6 (16) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Prevailed in Thirsk maiden (7f, good) last time, opening his account at the fourth attempt; may well build on that success and show further improvement, in keeping with his pedigree (siblings include a very useful performer for his connections); respected. |
13/2 |

500,000gns yearling; runner-up to a smart prospect at Redcar (7f, good to soft) last autumn; faded after leading until over 1f out when second to a wide-margin winner at Newcastle (7f, AW) on reappearance; still has untapped potential; leading candidate. |

7/2 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
4-4 since fitted with a tongue tie and switched to handicaps; now a whopping 32lb higher than when his winning sequence began and he is tackling much stronger opposition this afternoon but he barely broke sweat last time and his ceiling is yet to be established. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Unbeaten (3-3) since fitted with a tongue-tie and introduced to handicapping, adding to easy Southwell and Lingfield wins (6f) with a demolition job at Wolverhampton (7f; 4-11 favourite; 13l winner) last week; thriving, so he's hard to oppose despite 10lb rise plus a 6lb penalty. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Thrice-raced colt who most recently belied his 40-1 odds with success at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on seasonal debut; needs to prove he can back up that form and also needs to step up sharply on his sole turf effort. |
16/1 |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Showed promise when second of nine on his Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) in October, but that race was slowly run and he only beat one home at Newmarket (7f, good) later in month; bit to prove on return. |
25/1 |

9 (3) |
31st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

14/1 |

1 (5) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

All starts at 6f on sound turf; big improvement second run and carried that over on next two starts, culminating with a win in Newmarket maiden (good to firm; Gouken third) in August; should have no problem with 7f and threatens to be very competitive on nursery/AW debut. |

Took a 7f Lingfield maiden (AW) on his comeback in March but bombed out when strong in the market on his handicap debut at Epsom (8.5f, good) next time; finished 12th of 14 at York a fortnight ago and has a point to prove now. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |

Second in a maiden here last September; best form in valuable sales races (also 7f) on next two outings but nowhere near repeating it in his two starts this term; hampered early in a York handicap last time (7f; 22-1) and this is a major rethink on his trip, but none too persuasive. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
