24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Well suited by slow ground; attractively handicapped and his last two runs have both been promising, meeting trouble before finishing off strongly at Newcastle last month; high on the list. |
4/1 |
|
4th 9 (10) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
1lb lower than for his Doncaster win 12 months ago (7f, soft); several creditable runs in handicaps this season but he will need to pull out a bit more if he's to come out on top. |
12/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Not troubled the judge this season but hasn't been running badly, last time behind Native Warrior on the AW in late June; a triple winner on ground softer than good so connections have no doubt been waiting for some rain; worth considering. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won very easily under Billy Loughnane at Ascot (7f, soft; off 15lb lower) three weeks ago, opening his account at the fifth attempt; bred to do better still, being a brother to his stable's dual Group 1 winner Saffron Beach; one to follow. |

24th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Improvement a possibility now handicapping but he was readily brushed aside by Apotheosis at Lingfield 19 days ago and a 6lb turnaround in the weights may not be enough to reverse the placings. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won a 1m selling handicap (good to firm) at Thirsk when with George Boughey; has gone close a couple of times for this yard, including here (1m, good) 12 months ago when 3lb higher; below par in both starts this season but not written off. |

9th 5 (10) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Went close off this mark over C&D last backend and a good test over this trip is fine; quiet on his turf comeback and only has a selling handicap win to his name but he's quite capable. |
16/1 |
|
8th 10 (8) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained sole win in July 2024 on final start for previous yard; record of 0-9 for current stable doesn't tell the whole story as he's posted a few second-place finishes that represent peak form; capable of going well. |

27th Sep 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Unbeaten in this headgear combination in 11.4f handicaps at Windsor on last three outings; did it comfortably on soft ground before harder work on good to firm while showing improved form again on last two starts; this race, however, is a mighty leap up in class. |
14/1 |

9st 6lb |
Came good at fifth attempt, drawing clear inside final furlong to win quite comfortably over C&D (soft) in first-time cheekpieces a fortnight ago; encounters much faster ground and is 6lb higher today but still features prominently in calculations. |

20th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Couple of costly defeats since handicapping, not seeing it out on heavy ground and then from a wide stall at Nottingham (still ran creditably); he has less to prove than most of these, however, and there won't be any excuses this time. |
7/4 |
|
4th 13 (14) |
5th Jun 2024 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Well held in all four runs, most recently when fifth of seven on handicap debut at Goodwood (1m, heavy) last month; still early days for this well-bred gelding but he needs improvement on this switch to much quicker ground. |

14th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded prior to his handicap debut at Lingfield three weeks ago (1m, AW) and he saw his race out well to reward odds-on backers; that was only a Class 6 event and he's been hit with an 8lb rise but the runner-up won next time and the form has some merit; still capable of better. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
1m4f AW handicap win for the Gosdens and doubled his tally in soft-ground handicap at Yarmouth (1m2f) for William Knight, both in 2024; couldn't recapture that form last year and was sold for 8,000gns in October; starts out for new yard from career-low mark so worth a check of the betting. |
12/1 |

8th 7 (1) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Two wins in 2024, over 1m4f (AW) and 1m2f (soft), but it's been a slog this year and he's gone into reverse since a better effort in third of 11 at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in July; the recent rain is in his favour now back on turf, though, and he's not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
10 (8) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Dual winner last year (C&D first occasion) but there's been an echo of that form only once this season, when third at Windsor on penultimate start; sinking in the weights but C&D tenth on latest dampens enthusiasm. |

Thrown in on his 3yo form but 2025 was disappointing and he's struggled in both runs this year; mark continues to fall but he needs a needs a big turnaround in first-time cheekpieces. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Failed to win during rather mixed campaign last season but last month's keeping-on second at Newcastle (2m1f, good) was a good effort and the form has been well advertised by the winner since. |
5/1 |

2nd 5 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won a 2m juvenile contest here in November 2024, and added to his tally in a Series Final at Musselburgh (Class 2) the following spring; twice runner-up on the Flat here (1m2f) this winter, but well beaten over hurdles at Fakenham (2m) one month ago; others more obvious. |
12/1 |

5th 5 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 3 |

Mixed bag in 1m2f Newcastle Flat contests and two hurdles in recent months; only 1lb higher than for his Juvenile Hurdle Series Final win at Musselburgh (2m1f, good to soft) this time last year, however, and Yorkshire yard has had placed horses in this race the past two years. |

22nd Aug 2024 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two good runs since sent into handicaps but he has some wild form swings in his record and his latest fifth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) was a 9l defeat; looks well handicapped on his best form but he comes with risks attached at this new trip. |

29th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

Two good runs since sent into handicaps but has also had a couple of shockers and last time when trying 1m4f for the first time was one of them; risky. |

11th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |

0-6 and a bit of a mixed bag since handicapping, finishing third at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) in April and at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW; first-time visor) last month, but well beaten at Newbury in between; needs a bit more. |

9st 4lb |
Got off the mark at the 21st attempt under an inspired ride by today's rider Matthew Lloyd Slater at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; needs to be kidded along and his resolution is more key than the 4lb rise he now picks up but should go close. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Some mixed results this year but he wasn't far away over C&D (good to firm) in June and was as close as he's ever been to a first win when beaten a neck at Yarmouth (1m2f) last week; on the premises. |
7/1 |

8 (4) |
9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-19; best form for this yard when second in an AW classified in January, when wearing a tongue-tie and cheekpieces; that headgear combination was swapped for a hood when a respectable fourth at Leicester (also 1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; drop back to this trip not an obvious plus. |
