9st 8lb |
Only defeat last year came in a Group 3 at York and, having left previous yard for 50,000gns, he beat a subsequent winner to justify favouritism in an AW handicap on Boxing Day (7f); won that nicely enough to believe a 7lb rise is manageable, and clearly open to further progress. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
No wins since a 10-1 success on his debut at Ayr about a year ago but he was set some tall orders for the remainder of last term and his reappearance/handicap debut here (also 6f, good) was encouraging; didn't build on that next time, though, and he's just 1lb lower. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won 6f debut at Ayr as 2yo but highly tried and found wanting for the rest of 2025; however, he did well to be a close fifth of 12 on his handicap debut at Chester (6f, good) this month, considering he was drawn high and raced wide for much of the way; thereabouts off the same mark. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
3yo who has a very mixed record across his ten starts and was well beaten at Carlisle a fortnight ago; however, he's run well over C&D on all three previous visits to York, finishing second of 14 earlier last month; chance. |

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. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Won Newmarket maiden (6f, good to firm) for Harry Charlton last August on fourth start and runner-up to Advertised at Newcastle (7f, AW) on subsequent nursery debut; well beaten here (7f, good to firm) last month on seasonal and stable debut and something to prove after that, but not written off. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign for Harry Charlton by winning a Newmarket maiden (6f) and running well in Newcastle handicap (7f, AW); sold for 90,000gns and gelded since; likely needs further progress on stable debut. |

8st 9lb |
Won Ffos Las maiden (7.3f, heavy) last September on seventh start, when going beyond 6f for first time, and he followed up in last-gasp fashion in valuable EBF Final at York (7f, good); denied a clear run when mid-division in handicap at Newbury (7f, good; 12-1) on reappearance and the step up to nearly 1m looks a very good move; one to note. |

In fine form on AW this year and she continued the good work back on turf when third of 12 at Chester's May meeting (7.6f, good); well beaten at Goodwood three weeks ago; also engaged 3.12 Chester Friday. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gelded since failing to live up to his market billing at Southwell in March; easing down the weights and this is a drop in class so not discounted; tongue tie worn on his last two starts is now dispensed with. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Promising second over C&D last October, his second racecourse start; no better than midfield in three runs in Dubai over the winter; this should be less demanding and he's not fully exposed just yet. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick at Doncaster (6f) in November and continued in very good form when placed in four handicaps this season, including when third of 14 at York (7f) in May. Came in well held there (7f) last time but he's the sort to bounce back. |

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. |
