27th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
He's raced over 5f on his last five starts, winning at Sandown in May and finishing third there last month; jinked/unseated mid-race at Sandown last time; back up in trip today and it may well be a positive as he seemed at home over 7f when fourth in a C&D nursery last September; interesting. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
1-9, the win coming against his own age-group over C&D (good) in May; best effort since when third of eight back here (good to soft) 13 days ago; has the outside stall, but still respected with cheekpieces given a go. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 7f novice as a 2yo and he ran over 1m on his reappearance, but his two runs since have been over this distance; went off favourite but met trouble on both occasions, and he has since been gelded; hard to pin down but he's relatively lightly raced and probably has more to offer. |

4th 1 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won a 7f novice as a 2yo and he was tried over 1m on his seasonal/handicap debut in April; dropped to 5f at Sandown nine days ago (tongue tied first time; well backed) and travelled well but met some trouble at a crucial stage; that race set up for the closers and this is a sharper test but he could well have more to offer as a sprinter; cheekpieces now added. |
2/1 |

2nd 4 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 7f Newmarket maiden (good) in October but finished down the field having led in French heavy-ground Listed race next time; weakened when attempting 1m on his comeback in April but this first start at 5f since his 2yo debut is still something of a surprise; fascinating to see what he makes of it in an additional tongue-tie with Oisin Murphy steering. |

19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win in 5f maiden at Windsor as 2yo; started the year well with good runs in a 5f handicap and a Listed race at Sandown but she's finished last in two handicaps since and now goes in cheekpieces. |
25/1 |

10th 10 (10) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Not always looked the easiest (withdrawn in June having got worked up beforehand) and can hang; given a break since a poor run two months ago (no explanation offered) and has a bit on her plate from the outside stall. |
16/1 |
|
12th 8 (11) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Record is only 1-10 but she's fairly useful and has performed well in 5f contests (handicap/Listed) at Sandown this term; played up beforehand and withdrawn from an intended engagement at York two weeks ago; Ryan Moore booked and she could do better yet. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
In the placings on all five starts on a variety of surfaces as a juvenile (6f/7f) and he deservedly made the breakthrough on his reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month; respectable fifth of 14 at Hamilton on his recent handicap debut and this experiment at 5f looks worth a go. |
6/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Placed on all his five runs at 2yrs before (gelded) getting off the mark in 6f Newcastle maiden on his return last month; he must enter calculations back in handicap company. |

1st 3 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

The most experienced of these and has been placed on all five starts at 6f and 7f; has been gelded since his last run in October and he should go close. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner; runner-up on quick ground at Windsor (latterly promoted to first) last August and he bolted up when a short-priced favourite in a maiden at Wolverhampton in November; below his best on his final start last year and left the impression his first start for 178 days was needed when behind Havana Smile at Sandown (first start since being gelded) 22 days ago. |
9/2 |

5th 7 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All starts at 5f; fast turf no problem when runner-up at Windsor (latterly promoted to first) in August and he bolted up in Wolverhampton maiden in November having previously gone quite close on handicap debut at Southwell (also AW); underwhelmed on final start of last term but subsequently gelded and he's in the right hands to progress this season. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win Class 4 handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm) last month; this 3yo may have more to offer now that things have clicked again but she looks up against it in today's line-up. |
25/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made all in a fillies' maiden at Sandown (5f, good) 12 months ago; not at her best in her two runs this year but she's slipped down the weights and Oisin Murphy is booked; stable won this with a 3yo in 2023; revival could be imminent. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Showed promise as a juvenile when third in a Listed contest at Sandown (5f, good) last July before winning her maiden; should be better for her reappearance run when sixth of eight back at Sandown (5f, good) and would go close at her best. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 5f maiden at Catterick last August but he's 0-6 in handicaps this year and has generally underperformed; second in first-time headgear off this reduced mark at Kempton (6f, AW) on latest outing but markedly better is needed, even in this small field. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 5f maiden at Catterick last summer but he's been expensive to follow in handicaps this year; now 9lb lower than for his opening mark but he's been well held in last three runs and needs blinkers to make a difference. |
10/1 |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
2yo campaign bookended with wins and went close on reappearance this time around (sole AW start); quiet since and the fitting of a tongue-tie and returning to 6f haven't helped of late. |
20/1 |
|
5th 4 (6) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Went close on seasonal debut at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in March but largely disappointing over that trip since; too well handicapped to rule out on this return to 6f but others have more pressing claims. |
20/1 |
|
15th 13 (18) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Won at both sprint trips as a 2yo but he hasn't been at the forefront of calculations in three turf handicaps this year and has ground to make up on Quantum Power on their recent Newmarket run; looks to have his share of weight and fitting a tongue-tie needs to make a difference. |
