1st 5 (11) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has progressed with every run and his form has a solid look; came from well back when leading late on at Doncaster (1m, good) at the start of this month; drops back 1f in trip but he's not short of speed; open to further improvement and high on the list. |
9/2 |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Chelmsford third last August (first run for this yard, among the winners of late) worked out well and he improved on that when off the mark on Wolverhampton AW (7f) in September; looks to start handicap career on a feasible mark and he goes on the shortlist. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Usually runs some sort of race but he has not finished with much purpose at Southwell (AW) or Lingfield (turf) on his last two starts, and this is more competitive; needs a revival. |
16/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Scored on handicap debut at Newbury (6f, good) in August and it was a good return when just failing at Kempton in March; took a big step backwards at Southwell (also 7f, AW) next time, although that was a little out of character so probably worth forgiving. |

0-7 for the Crisfords, only fifth of seven on turf debut at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month; looks exposed unless a change of scenery gives him a lift. |

5th 2 (6) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |

Seeking his first win but he has run well in defeat in all three handicap starts (9.4f-1m3f); drops back to 1m today and he could still have a bit more to offer. |

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

Rather fizzled out as a 2yo and he was tailed off on reappearance at Wetherby; difficult to recommend after that. |
33/1 |
|
11th 10 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won five-runner Carlisle nursery (6f, good) last summer but his 2yo campaign fizzled out somewhat; moves up in trip for this reappearance; others have less to prove. |

13 (9) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
0-6 but she's proving consistent and she was beaten off by the reopposing Zarvali only late on at Catterick (7f, good) 12 days ago; good-value claimer takes 7lb off; not ruled out each-way. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 10 (9) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
0-5 and has had more chances than any of these but she's been steadily progressive and ran well when third in a maiden at Southwell (6f, AW) last month; good second over 7f on turf at York last July; leading form claims. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Trained last year in Ireland by Johnny Murtagh; made an immediate impact for new yard when winning Catterick novice (7f, good) 12 days ago, seeming suited by the step up from sprint distances; may improve further but this is a fair bit warmer. |
9/1 |
|
1st 3 (11) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ran four times for Johnny Murtagh last year, finishing second in a nursery at Fairyhouse in September when last seen; subsequently sold for 25,000euros and gelded; upset in stalls and withdrawn from intended stable debut at Thirsk last month (40-1 at the time); improvement is necessary. |
7/1 |
|
14 (14) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Some promise on first three 2yo starts and he improved when second in nursery at Fairyhouse (6f, yielding; blinkered) in September; subsequently changed hands for 25,000euros and gelded; still low mileage and may progress further for new stable. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins have come over this trip but he finished two places behind Goldwork when only seventh of ten at Ascot two weeks ago; needs a positive reaction to the first-time hood. |
25/1 |
|
7th 10 (1) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
All three wins over 7f, on turf and the AW, the latest on his yard debut in March; however, he's high in the weights now and his recent Newbury run (7f; 50-1) suggests another uphill battle awaits. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Progressive first three starts but he has not cut much ice in handicaps, fading into eighth at Wetherby on latest; at least the handicapper is cutting him some slack and the good recent form of his stable is a plus. |
25/1 |
|
8th 9 (11) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Made a quite encouraging seasonal debut last month (6f, AW) but never really looked threatening when midfield at Newmarket (7f, good) 12 days ago and needs to up his game. |
20/1 |
|
8th 9 (6) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his 2yo success at 6f but reappearance effort over that trip suggests he'll be suited by this step back up in distance; balance of form suggests he'll probably come up short in this field, however. |

Made it 3-3 on AW with convincing success over this trip at Southwell two weeks ago; however, he's gone up 10lb and his turf form is at a much lower level. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (10) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing at Pontefract (6f, soft) on his final start last year but bounced back to form on his reappearance with a win over this C&D, making it 2-2 on the AW (gelded prior to that); not discounted off this 2lb higher mark. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He had been banging at the door prior to his win in a 7f nursery at Wolverhampton last August; two disappointing runs followed, after which he was gelded, and he returns from a six-month break with a point to prove. |

Proved his effectiveness over 7f when fifth of ten at Ascot (good ground) two weeks ago; others have more obvious potential but first-time cheekpieces could give him a boost. |
14/1 |
|
5th 9 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Best 2yo form when winning a 6f novice at Goodwood last May and he was back near that level when a keeping-on third of eight on Kempton AW (6f) in April; heavy ground was probably against him when well held in his only 7f run but he still has stamina to prove and in tough company, too. |

6th 2 (13) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won Ayr maiden and Redcar novice last August (6f, good/good to firm); didn't progress in nurseries but was highly tried; gelded after and made a fair reappearance; stall 13 not ideal and return to 5f is a concern. |

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

Lightly raced and unexposed; landed odds at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in March and the runner-up has boosted the form; beat all bar two of his 18 rivals in warm handicap at Ascot (6f, good) two weeks ago, doing his best work late on; should be suited by today's step up in distance; leading contender. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All starts at 6f; best of two runs last term came when chasing home two smart Godolphin juveniles on debut at Haydock (good to firm) last May; gelded before justifying a shade of odds-on at Chelmsford (also 6f, AW) on return in March; should do better again and this mark looks fair ahead of his handicap debut. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Absent and gelded since Nottingham defeat last June when failing to back up the apparent promise of his Haydock effort (6f) behind two Godolphin runners; not a solid option but the debut form is respectable. |

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

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. |

3rd 8 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

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. |

0-7 as 2yo but improved a bit for gelding operation when making winning reappearance in Redcar novice (7f, good to firm; 11-4) three weeks ago; may find a bit more and he's more persuasive than many. |

0-6 but has run really well in all three nurseries (7f/6f, good to firm-soft), most recently a close third of eight at Pontefract in a first-time visor (retained); there's every chance he'll again be in the mix. |

Kept busy as a 2yo with 12 runs, winning a 7f Chester seller (good to firm); left the impression a stiff 1m at Pontefract (soft) just stretched him on final start; this slightly shorter trip could therefore suit on reappearance but he has a much more exposed profile than most; has been gelded. |
