10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
11 races overall, improved in blinkers this summer; that includes his narrow win in a small field at Newbury and second at Glorious Goodwood (both 1m3f on good to firm) before he took sixth of 17 from out the back when 50-1 for the Melrose at York (1m6f, good to soft); firmly in the picture. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
He's raced ten times but has shown improved form of late, winning narrowly in a small field at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) then second to Into The Light at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to firm); stayed on well last time and could better that performance now at 1m6f; unproven on slow ground. |

2nd 9 (10) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Carried his head high in blinkers for last two starts but he challenged to win on the nod in a five-runner handicap at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) last time, getting off the mark at the ninth attempt; up 3lb and into a much more competitive race, he could still be thereabouts but others make more appeal for win purposes. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Off the mark at the fifth attempt in fairly valuable Sandown maiden (1m2f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in June and it was an improved effort when nutted on the line on his handicap debut at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm; front pair well clear) the following month; similar form in a French Listed race (1m4f) three weeks ago and this revised mark will demand a wee bit extra. |
16/1 |

2nd 4 (2) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Didn't look straightforward when the race got serious on last two outings but he was nevertheless better at keeping a straight line when cheekpieces were enlisted for six-runner maiden at Sandown (1m2f, good) last time and stuck his neck out well to win by 1l; some improvement is probably needed going handicapping but he has to be considered seriously in this small field. |
2/1 |

1st 5 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Comes with some risk having looked far from straightforward under pressure at Newmarket last time, albeit was perhaps partly unsuited by the track and either way may be aided by first-time headgear today; has shown consistent promise otherwise and holds particularly strong claims on penultimate effort, namely third in above-average maiden at Newbury (1m2f, good) that has worked out well. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Scored on his AW debut here (7f) in June 2025; has been campaigned exclusively on turf since and won at Goodwood (7f, good) last October; hasn't been in the same form this year and is tried in new headgear (cheekpieces); well-handicapped if he can get his act together back on AW. |
8/1 |

6th 12 (4) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has failed to improve for a visor but ran respectably last time and is nicely treated assuming the switch to blinkers works a treat; gained sole handicap win off 4lb higher last October. |
20/1 |

5th 7 (4) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice over 7f on good/AW last year; reappeared with a promising fourth at Newbury in May, but he hasn't matched that form in three starts since; now drops back in grade but he needs to turn things around. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has reportedly been plagued by injuries and hasn't been able to build on his sole win at Newcastle AW last October; still 4lb above his winning mark but does seem more effective on AW. |
5/1 |
|
7th 12 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Seems to have an aversion to anything away from soft ground on turf, but is proving consistent on the AW (2312); one for the shortlist. |
12/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Best efforts on AW, including second at Newcastle (1m2f) late last month; never dangerous when 16-1 at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) nine days later, but today's race is much less competitive than his other two turf handicaps this term. |

20th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Second in this last year when trained by Alan King and he won at Perth (2m, good) last month on his third start for this yard; hit with a 7lb rise for last time but 5lb claimer Fern O'Brien retains the ride and his trainer has won two of the last three runnings of his race; he's one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
1st 6 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
No match for Filibustering when second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) on stable debut in June and has since been well beaten on the Flat but is well handicapped on some of his form for Alan King and will be suited by today's trip/ground; could have a say. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Minor honours over 1m3f/1m4f in his two Flat handicaps this term (his last runs for Alan King) prior to his creditable second 19 days ago for new yard over hurdles; should be a serious player. |
