13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win on turf, but is now 1lb lower than when winning at Newcastle in February (5f); could go well, although was beaten 10l here last time (6f, soft). |

12th 11 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A contender on his AW form this year but latest fourth to Parisiac at Hamilton (5f, good) doesn't suggest he is the answer this time. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent sort but landed his second course win (7f) in a similar race last month, with Donagh Murphy on board; the drop back in trip may not suit. |
11/1 |

4th 2 (3) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Won back-to-back handicaps at around 5f last summer, including here, and he showed 7f was in range when winning a similar C&D event 12 days ago, leading close home; more appealing than most. |

9th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

16-1, hinted at promise when a debut seventh of 13 in 7f Kempton maiden 19 days ago; this son of Harry Angel can build on it now. |

7th 11 (6) |
20th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Half-brother to Italian 6f winner Bold Grey; dam a maiden half-sister to Group 1 winner Librisa Breeze; stable have winning 2yo newcomers but he has a fair standard to aim at on debut. |

7th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in his first four starts over 5f-7f, but although only fifth of ten on handicap debut at Kempton (6f, Polytrack; first-time cheekpieces) last time an awkward start and meeting a bit of trouble wouldn't have helped; shortlisted. |
5/1 |
|
5th 9 (3) |
18th Feb 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Four runs in novice and maiden company (5f-7f), finishing second on each occasion; this might prove his optimum trip and cheekpieces could spark extra now handicapping. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
2nd Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in all three starts on the Wolverhampton Tapeta (5f/6f), the latest when sent off odds-on four weeks ago; that form hasn't been done any harm in the meantime and there is optimism for the longer trip on pedigree; one of three from yard. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Sixth to Kats Bob in this race 12 months ago; made a winning return at Southwell in April but disappointing at Ripon next time and needs to bounce back. |
20/1 |
|
7th 1 (1) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft ground; won at Thirsk (6f, good) last spring and recorded his second AW win on his Southwell reappearance last month; up 4lb but he still looks feasibly treated and should get a good tow into this race; key player. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with a whimper but he has slipped back down the weights as a consequence; won on last year's reappearance and also ran a fine race after a 175-day layoff in 2024 so unlikely to be lacking in fitness; one to consider. |

22nd Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb
|
Promising fifth at Kempton on his debut in November (6f); gelded afterwards and prominent in the market ahead of his second run, where he was too free early and dropped away quickly (7f) two weeks ago; hood added this time but he now carries risk. |
7/1 |
|
11th 4 (3) |
7th Feb 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Cost 280,000gns as a yearling; duly showed promise with his fifth-place finish over 6f here in November; withdrawn (upset in stalls) in December and subsequently gelded; open to improvement if things go smoothly. |
13/2 |

9th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
8-1 and very green when this Night Of Thunder colt made an eyecatching debut in fifth of 12 for 6f Kempton novice (AW) 24 days ago, going on strongly at the finish after a slow start; interesting. |

9th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Fair form in the frame in a pair of C&D maidens last month; tongue tied now and he's no forlorn hope if taking a step forward. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
13th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Outran his 66-1 odds in similar event over C&D 11 days ago, doing well to keep on for third having been slowly away and pulled hard off the pace; holds leading claims if that debut promise is confirmed. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Justified favouritism at Bath (off 2lb lower) on stable/seasonal debut but has regressed since; chance depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
10/1 |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Well backed when making winning stable debut at Bath (5f, good to firm) in April but hasn't repeated the form in two runs since, favourite each time; just as effective at 6f but needs to get back on track. |

Sister to 7f winner Sense Of Power (RPR 92); 50-1 for 6f novice here 13 days ago but never better than mid-division and it was modest form. |
25/1 |
|
10 (7) |
9th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

50,000euros foal, 40,000euros yearling; sister to 7f winner Sense Of Power (RPR 92) and a half-sister to Belgian/German/French 4.7f-6f winner Naughty Ana; dam unraced half-sister to US 1m1f turf Grade 2 winner Sarach; this Invincible Spirit filly can't be dismissed, especially if the betting vibes are positive. |

Lowly rated Flat maiden who showed no significant promise on her four hurdling starts last season (1m7f-2m1f); moves up in trip and swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor today. |
