9st 3lb |
Runner-up in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last September and reappeared with seventh of 11 in the 2,000 Guineas (1m, good); kept on for fair seventh of 19 in the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) last time and this step back up in to 1m may well be the right move; not discounted in a first-time tongue-tie. |

16th Oct 2023 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has made a solid start to his handicap career, winning at Newbury (good to soft) then second off this mark at the Doncaster St Leger meeting (soft), both over 6f; remains open to further progress; respected. |

Has improved with each of his four runs and won five-runner nursery at Newbury last time (6f, good to soft; Count Palatine close second); could continue to progress for top yard and he's a solid contender. |

9st 3lb |
Gelded in September and markedly better in his two starts since, finishing close third on nursery debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; took strong hold) and narrow winner of a maiden at Wolverhampton (7f, AW); one to consider seriously. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on this track as 2yo; winless since that season but he's shown enough to think he can be placed to advantage off a reduced mark; had a troubled start to the season at Beverley but it's too soon to write him off; hood refitted with cheekpieces added. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Not a prolific winner; rather disappointing for this yard in a light campaign last season, best run when third at Haydock in September (5f, good; hood on for first time); no hood this time; on a good mark and could go well. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Far from straightforward and his best form has come on AW; two good runs and three poor runs since joining Ruth Carr, his latest Newcastle fourth (blinkered first time) falling into the former category; not the most solid option but he is better than this level on his day and it is always worth a second look when Billy Loughnane is booked for the stable (four wins and four seconds from 22 rides). |
10/1 |

4th 10 (8) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
5lb lower than when third on his stable debut in February; struggled since and connections now reach for blinkers; not solid but he's more than capable on his day. |
16/1 |

10th 2 (10) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Blew hot and cold for Jack Channon and signs that it may be the same for new connections, shaping well at Wolverhampton in February but turning in lesser efforts twice since; well handicapped if this is one of his good days and the return of cheekpieces (first time for Ruth Carr) looks a plus. |

20th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Drawn a blank since his Ffos Las nursery win (6f) in September 2023; big prices and well beaten in four runs for John Butler but he ran better than the distance beaten at Lingfield 17 days ago (forced a strong pace and weakened quickly in the final furlong); tumbling down the weights and he needs a close look in the betting now back sprinting. |

Yet to add to 6f turf win for Jack Channon in September 2023 and was safely held on all three starts for John Butler in the autumn (7f-1m); lurks on a dangerous mark though and needs a check in the betting. |

5th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Clive Cox; well-beaten both previous turf starts last season; favourite for a Newcastle handicap on stable debut on reappearance on first run after being gelded, but finished only seventh to a subsequent winner (1m, tongue-tie on); tongue-tie retained and cheekpieces now tried; a bit to prove. |
5/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
8th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Well held in three starts over 6f/7f on turf/Polytrack for Clive Cox last year; makes his stable/handicap debut (same owners) in a first-time tongue-tie after six months off having been gelded in the meantime; longer trip should suit on breeding and is a half-brother to two multiple course winners; no great surprise if he steps up. |

Sole win from 23 starts came on turf at Salisbury off 11lb higher last August; runner-up at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW; first-time blinkers) in March but he was disappointing over 1m2f here next time and was pulled up at Bath (1m, firm; reported to have moved poorly) when favourite 38 days ago; needs to bounce back. |

Resumed winning ways in 7f Southwell handicap in April but he beat only two home back there eight days later; this C&D scorer needs to bounce back. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
His form can be up and down but he bolted up at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last month and ran pretty well behind two 3yos when third at Newbury (1m, good) last time; might not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
5 (1) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins last May-July (including C&D) and won by 7l at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) recently; inconsistent and a 6lb rise takes him to a career-high mark, but he has to be respected in view of that latest dominance. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three 1m wins (one C&D) on turf last May-July and latest was off just 1lb lower than today; pretty up and down since, a slow-starting favourite when well beaten on latest start but his second at Newbury the time before was a reminder that he's well capable of getting seriously involved. |

Gained sole win in a classified event and has made the frame several times at that level in 2026; not the percentage call returned to a handicap and going into unknown territory trip-wise. |

6th 2 (2) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

The winner of just one of his 42 starts but that success came in a 0-50 classified event on Tapeta and when ridden by Billy Loughnane (record on him reads 122425); finished in front of Hopjes when second over C&D ten days ago; should be involved again. |
