20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 179y |
9st 10lb |
No win since 2023; big chance off this mark on best runs over 1m6f/1m4f last season and though well beaten in both runs this term, they were over an inadequate trip; this distance much more suitable and Colin Keane takes over; interesting. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |

Third in the 2024 Dante and generally kept good company on the Flat in Britain; started brightly in Ireland last spring; has become disappointing; plenty to prove at this stage. |

Third in the 2024 Dante and generally kept good company on the Flat in Britain; started brightly in Ireland in the spring; failed to sustain that form; struggled in two maiden hurdle runs in December. |

No wins in eight; back from being gelded when a 2.5l fourth at Southwell (1m4f) but he hung left on the heavy ground (and in new cheekpieces) when a well-held third at Chester; others look safer. |

17th Apr 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Placed on first three starts (gelded after second) but much improved to win eight-runner nursery here (1m, good to firm) in September on final outing, always prominent and rallying extremely well; up 5lb but likely to be well suited by 1m2f+ and therefore one to note. |

9st 5lb |
Third on first two starts (7f, good/soft) and, having been gelded, he was beaten about 2l by Blown Away when runner-up at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last time; he's 4lb better off with his conqueror on today's nursery debut and this 525,000gns yearling is open to improvement for his powerful yard. |

31st Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ultra-consistent and registered a deserved first win in a novice at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) on latest outing; however, having had to settle for a place in his 1m2f handicaps at Ascot (good) and York (good to soft) in May, this field looks more demanding; worth a go at 1m4f but others are preferred for the win. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Ran well from out of the handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last week, poaching a big lead but reeled in close home; whether she can repeat that form in this bigger field remains to be seen. |
12/1 |

2nd 6 (1) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winner under both codes in 2024; creditable second over 1m1f at Musselburgh in April but below that level since, including weakening when stepped back up to around 1m4f last time. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); up 4lb in a stronger race but he may not have finished progressing just yet. |
100/30 |

1st 5 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Track regular who added a second C&D win to his record on good to soft three weeks ago; handicapper handed him an 8lb rise but that looked a career best and he can never be discounted at this venue. |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Started favourite on his first nine starts last year, winning two of them, both off lower marks; hit traffic over an inadequate 5f on his comeback a few weeks ago, which will ensure he's popular once again for a yard also responsible for Cairdeas. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner but recent C&D second of 14 is as good as anything he's produced, leading until the final 110yds; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if in similar form. |
17/2 |
|
2nd 8 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
This trip on fast ground suits and every chance with a repeat of his two runs at Ripon; took a backward step here two weeks ago but he has C&D form and could run well. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1m2f on fast ground suits and comes into the reckoning after two sound placed efforts at Ripon this season, beaten a head into second place last time; chance. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Progressive 3yo for William Haggas in 2024, winning twice over 1m2f on good to firm; hasn't reached those heights since and was tailed off at Killarney on hurdles/stable debut; hood worn that day now left off. |
50/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

One of three for trainer; progressive 3yo on Flat for William Haggas in 2024, winning twice over 1m2f on good to firm; hasn't reached those heights since, including in latest two starts for Owen Burrows; purchased for 16,000gns in October and goes hurdling now in new headgear. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive 3yo who ended that season with an excellent Goodwood win (1m2f, good to firm) in a strong handicap; topsy-turvy this year and never in the hunt on yard debut at Newbury following wind surgery but good to soft ground probably wasn't ideal; worth a good look off favourable mark. |

1st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Winless since debut (5f, soft) in April 2023 but his form seems to have stabilised for this yard of late and he's run two fair races at about 5f on fast ground this summer (finished third at Bath in July, demoted to fourth for interference); every chance back at 6f. |
7/2 |

4th 6 (8) |
3rd Jul 2024 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Hasn't won since his debut at Yarmouth in April 2023; has finished in the frame on his last three starts, beaten half a length when second at Windsor (5f, good to firm) nine days ago with a first-time visor; the same headgear is retained and he should go close. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
24th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Awarded the race in the stewards' room on 2yo debut; 0-11 in the meantine but was only 2l away when boldly ridden at Lingfield last time (6f, AW); still uncertain as to what his best trip is (has tried 1m) and a first-time visor replaces blinkers. |
