9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Raced four times last year, finishing third in the Group 2 Superlative at this meeting (7f, good to firm) and going close in a Canadian Grade 1 (1m, firm) in September; this is his first run since and William Buick rides Morris Dancer, but it will be no surprise to see a big performance. |

Won well at Haydock and nearly defied a penalty in C&D contest, narrowly failing to collar a bigger-priced stablemate (newcomer); William Buick prefers Saba Desert but this colt retains potential. |

9st 1lb |
Yet to run a bad race as the sixth at Newmarket (1m, good) on handicap debut was a close one; back over 7f there and sent off the 4-11 favourite, he romped home by the thick end of 10l to earn today's 11lb higher mark; that rise asks serious questions, but he has the wind in his sails and Oisin Murphy would have had options for this. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with an AW win over 7f (made most); thoroughly encouraging reappearance here (1m, good) in April on handicap debut, where he looked likely to reward market support but the race slipped from his grasp late on; major chance off the same mark back at 7f. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won a turf claimer in Ireland and landed two AW handicaps (1m/7f) for current connections at the start of 2026; has found life harder since but in some good 3yo only races and latest fifth of ten at Sandown (7f, good) in this headgear combination was creditable; respected taking on his elders. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won a turf claimer in Ireland and has added two AW handicaps (1m/7f) for current connections; however, has failed to beat a rival in his last three races and a tongue-tie joins his regular hood; risky. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Emphatic winner of handicap debut on Southwell AW (6f) in March; found Group 3 and Listed races too daunting on next two starts and he made only modest late headway into mid-division over 5f at Royal Ascot (40-1; without regular hood, as today); return to 6f should suit but the same applies to others from that race. |
22/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Useful 2yo and took his form to a new level with an emphatic win at Southwell (6f, AW) in March; a refusal to settle has compromised him in Group 3/Listed events on his last two starts but this mark is surely in range judged on that Southwell win and he is interesting now dropped to 5f for the first time; hooded every time except today. |

Highly tried after winning a York maiden (6f, good to firm) and a Newbury novice (6f, good) last season; gelded in November; disappointing this season; first run at 7f. |

9st 5lb |
Wore down a next-time-out winner (pair clear) late on when making it seventh time lucky in 6f Pontefract maiden (good to soft) under Jack Nicholls eight weeks ago; will be equally as effective back at 7f and can be made to look well treated on a few of his runs. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
He has been expensive to follow thus far but he has been consistent in terms of his RPR and this is easier than the Newmarket handicap he contested three weeks ago; cheekpieces experiment quickly aborted; well drawn and he holds strong claims. |

2-3 in 2yo campaign and took a step forward from his first two runs of this season when third at Sandown (7f, good) three weeks ago; could do with settling better but he might not be far away. |

Won two minor sprints last year but fairly well held in 6f/7f good-ground handicaps this term and has only dropped 4lb; others appeal more, especially over this stiff 7f. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Plenty of promise on his first three starts, winning a maiden at York (7f, good) last September on his second outing, and things didn't go his way when fifth of nine on handicap debut at Chester (7.5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; unexposed and could build on that latest performance today. |
5/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Odds-on when going close on his July debut and he wasted no time getting off the mark at York (also 7f, good; made all) in September on his second start; extended mile possibly stretched him when last of three at Hamilton on last month's return and he still carries potential into this handicap debut; considered. |

8st 12lb |
Made it 3-3 in turf handicaps when overcoming trouble to win a shade cosily at York in May and it was a good second of 17 in valuable event at Goodwood (also 7f, good) ten days later; still progressing and he holds leading claims again. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Overcame trouble to win a shade cosily under Saffie Osborne at York (7f, good) last week, taking his record in turf handicaps to 3-3 and record since upped to 7f to 2-2; may well show further progress and defy another rise in the weights; respected. |

Improved form since being gelded and he made it 2-2 at Chester when completing a double in a 7f handicap (good) two weeks ago; up another 4lb but he finished well to beat a clear second last time and is open to more progress at this new trip; big player. |

First run since being gelded when off the mark in 6f handicap here (soft) 15 days ago; led late on in a style which suggests he should be as effective back at 7f and the Richard Spencer stable continues in excellent form. |
