16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Four wins have come on good to soft/soft ground later in the year and he wants a good test over this trip on good ground; turned in a solid comeback effort over C&D in March but there's little room for error off this mark and he has his quirks. |
8/1 |

6th 7 (6) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't fulfilled the huge promise of his early form for William Haggas but he retains a good chunk of ability and enjoyed a resurgence last autumn, notably when a comfortable winner over C&D (soft) in October; disappointed when last seen but he should be in for another good year; back from a break is perhaps not the time to catch him but market should give clues. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won two of his four races on the AW this year (at 7f) and has comparable form on turf; wasn't beaten far last month at Newcastle despite losing a shoe. |
8/1 |

5th 10 (2) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Made it two wins from three starts this year when picking up well to lead towards the finish over C&D 16 days ago; the third (Call Glory), fourth and fifth in that race have all run well since so the form has bit of substance; respected up 2lb. |
5/1 |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

No apparent excuses last time when failing to complete a Southwell double (maiden previously); gained his win in a 0-55 event. |

21st Jan 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden; underperformed when favourite for 1m4f contest at Kempton most recently; has otherwise shaped promisingly in AW handicaps, at 9.5f/1m2f, and remains of interest back down in distance. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Pulled up in only start as a 2yo, but defied a 407-day absence to land a Haydock maiden (7f, good to soft) last month; didn't back it up at Thirsk (1m, soft) last time and possible the ground didn't suit, but she still has questions to answer on handicap debut. |

Scored at Musselburgh (1m) in October and has largely continued in good form, fourth of 12 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 15 days ago; one for the shortlist. |

30th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins over 1m on turf; latest effort (over 8.5f here) doesn't suggest she's crying out for this extra yardage; not the percentage call. |

12th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner in January, when 3lb higher; handicapper has had his measure since then; handy mark now but hasn't recently looked like taking his opportunities. |
12/1 |
|
9th 11 (5) |
30th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Had few chances in 1m handicaps and best form on Newcastle Tapeta, winning there in January; down the field at Thirsk recently but weighted to go well if handling the transition to Southwell at the first attempt. |
16/1 |

11th 10 (11) |
16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Best form has been on the AW, his sole win coming off this mark over 1m at Newcastle in January; not beaten far in last two races, the first on turf; each-way chance. |

20th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
15th foal; half-brother to five useful winners including Foolin Myself (7f/1m; RPR 105) and Unex El Greco (7f-1m4f; 104); pedigree catches the eye but he may be one for further down the line. |
