20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Scored twice over 7f last summer and continued in good form in AW handicaps in the winter; back from a 170-day layoff here though (cheekpieces added) so needs to hit the ground running. |

Record of 83321 reflects his steady progress; made all for 4l success in Chelmsford maiden (7f, AW) most recently and the form has received a couple of boosts; shortlisted. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 with 7f Lingfield win and backed it up with a good second in 7f Southwell handicap on New Year's Day; absent since though so has his fitness to prove. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Had something to spare when winning a 6f Ripon maiden on third start but he came home in his own time once his chance had gone on handicap debut at Doncaster (6f; 2l behind the hampered Art Lover); work to do. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Thrice-raced colt who justified favouritism upped to 6f at Ripon (good) on return from four-month break most recently; open to further progress over this trip; one to consider. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Landed 6f Ascot novice in September but there's not been much to enthuse about since and he came in last of 13 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for now. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Drawn widest at Chester last time and was returning from 200 days off there the time before, but few positives can be gleaned; watching brief advised stepping up to 7f for AW debut. |

10th 8 (14) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |

His Ascot novice win last September came over 6f and on soft ground; well beaten over 6f here on Wednesday and he has stall 14 to contend with now dropping to 5f for the first time. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Debut 6f novice winner at Hamilton last June; off ten months after but she's performed with credit on both runs this spring, fifth of seven in 1m Ascot novice last month; likely better to come now going handicapping. |
6/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Debut winner over 6f at Hamilton (good to soft); failed to justify a shade off odds-on when penalised at Southwell (7f AW) and that was disappointing, for all that a very slow pace might not have helped; bred to improve for this longer trip. |
10/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Created pretty good impression when keeping on too strongly for odds-on favourite at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last June, shaping as though this extra furlong would suit; not seen since but remains a good prospect. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A fair 6f winner at 2yrs; yet to add to his tally this season but has advanced his form, runner-up at York before a good C&D fourth last time out; firmly in the picture again. |
6/1 |
|
4th 10 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from 11 starts but he hit a personal best when going close in a 20-runner handicap at York (7f, good) last month; the first three pulled clear in that race and he's strongly respected off only 1lb higher. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 14 (19) |
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. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Kept busy in 2026 and has bagged a pair of 7f handicaps at Lingfield (AW and turf); posted another solid effort with third of seven at Chepstow (7f) and he enters calculations once more. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoyed a very good winter on the AW and he gained a first turf win in 7f Lingfield handicap 11 days ago; up 3lb but this consistent sort can go well again. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Being kept busy having raced 11 times on the AW since November, winning two; is a reliable type, but anyone's guess as to how he will cope with the return to turf; a player if he handles it. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to score but he built up a solid record for Simon and Ed Crisford and has shaped well on both runs for his new yard when a close third in handicaps at York (7f) and over C&D; can race off the same mark here so another bold showing is on the cards. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 12 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
0-8 but he was consistent for the Crisfords and made a good start for new yard when close third in big-field handicap at York (7f, good) last month; ties in closely with French Affair on that form and he's in the mix. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 15 (15) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
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. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

A fair 6f juvenile winner; arrives in good nick, not enjoying the best of runs when eighth of 20 in 7f York handicap four weeks ago; possibilities off an easing mark. |
12/1 |
|
8th 17 (5) |
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. |
