23rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won a classified race at Lingfield (7f, AW) last summer; short of her best in three runs this winter though and she needs a full revival. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not as her best in handicaps lately, but she was successful the last time she raced at this level at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in August; has run well over C&D and a player; stable also runs Embarked. |

Dual 7f winner on the AW but a modest strike-rate overall and last win was in a classified race; could still run well off a realistic mark. |

11st 0lb |
Well treated on form as recent as last May and it's possible the visor and drop back to 6f will suit this headstrong sort; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and his claims aren't compelling. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Similar type to Cerulean Bay in that he ran creditably in the Royal Hunt Cup (fourth) last time but is getting little help from the assessor, having proved largely consistent since his last win; solid contender all the same. |
11/1 |

4th 8 (32) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Dual winner at Ascot; hindered by trouble in the Spring Cup on reappearance and ran creditably kept to Newbury last time; far from disgraced when seventh in this contest last year but has a stiffer mark this time and his ceiling has seemingly been reached already. |
25/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Tough and consistent sort who won the C&D Spring Cup on 2025 reappearance but couldn't get a clear run in it this time round; third in this race last year and 9lb higher today but he's an each-way contender. |

12th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
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. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Enjoying a fine season and his fifth win (including over C&D) of the campaign came at Wolverhampton (7f) two days ago when completing a quick hat-trick; leading claims turned out under a 5lb penalty. |
6/5 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Arrives seeking a hat-trick after 7f turf wins at Musselburgh (good) and Catterick (good to firm), the latter with ease and his best effort for almost two years; still well treated on this first AW start since March and a repeat of either of his last two efforts would make him tough to beat. |
6/5 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Hamilton (5f, good) in May and he was back on the scoresheet at Musselburgh (7f, good) last Tuesday, making virtually all under Jack Nicholls; yard continues in flying form and he's respected under a penalty. |

Recorded a 40-1 win at Haydock (6f) on 2yo debut; has failed to match that form since, mostly finishing last; first-time headgear needs to have major effect. |
