5th 1 (4) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Suited by drop back to 7f when winning at Newmarket (good to firm) and nearly followed up in 20-runner race at Glorious Goodwood (good); up another 3lb but plenty to like for trainer who won this race in 2020 and 2021. |

2nd 3 (10) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Suited by the drop back in distance at Newmarket (good to firm) last time, narrowly beating Great Acclaim and taking 7f record to 3-5 (only 1-8 over further); on a career-high mark but interesting kept to this trip. |
11/1 |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Shaped encouragingly at Chester (7.5f) on the return to turf and proved unsuited by 1m2f (raced too freely) later in May; however, now 0-5 in this sphere and peak form remains on AW where he's a three-time scorer. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
A fair 1m2f winner at his best for Alice Haynes, but he's failed to beat a rival in handicaps at Lingfield (1m5f) and Bath (1m) in 2026; others appeal more. |
25/1 |
|
11th 8 (11) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win (21 races) was over 1m2f at Yarmouth last May but subsequent efforts include two seconds; left Alice Haynes for 17,000gns in October and came last of 12 (hood removed) when upped to 1m5f for new yard in February; now has a bit to prove over a trip this short. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Can make the running; twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) this spring and had excuses for a lesser effort over 5f there last time; each-way possibilities. |
8/1 |
|
8th 6 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Successful in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford in February off a 4lb lower mark; runner-up here (6f) on his last two starts and he has run well over 5f in the past; should give his running. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Better effort back in the (second-time) tongue-tie from stall 9 over C&D last Monday; that was only a 0-55 and his strike-rate is far from exciting but that signalled a return to form. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Big odds for all four starts (first two for Kevin Philippart de Foy) and well beaten; bled on second occasion and absent 490 days afterwards; latest start was handicap debut (1m4f); no solid form claims. |

Held in two runs for Kevin Philippart de Foy in the first half of last year (bled on the second occasion) and well beaten on stable debut after 490 days off at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft; 250-1) last month; hard to recommend on handicap debut. |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A mixed bag so far, going close at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in June and Sandown (1m, good to firm; first-time visor) the following month, but hasn't threatened in his other six starts; enough to prove especially in the conditions. |
14/1 |

9th 11 (11) |
10th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Twice beaten half a length this summer, at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in June and at Sandown (1m, good to firm) in July; a player on those efforts, but he reportedly bled at Kempton last month which would be a concern. |
7/1 |
|
7th 10 (5) |
12th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Took his record to 0-6 but emerged with credit when second of ten at Sandown 12 days ago (1m, good to firm; visored first time), keeping on well; 2lb higher today but returning to Polytrack will be no issue and he's a leading contender. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Went back-to-back in good-ground handicaps (7f/1m, including here) in September 2024 but no wins since and two runs last month (led before weakening) don't suggest another crack at this trip will turn the ship around. |
8/1 |

7th 7 (3) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Won two in a row on turf in September 2024 but he's drawn a blank since and was well held on C&D reappearance (good) 12 days ago; may have needed that run but he's hard to predict and others are more convincing; blinkers reapplied. |
10/1 |
|
11th 6 (2) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Regressed last year and goes without the usual headgear on his return from four months off; twice ran well off higher marks over C&D last summer, though, and ran well on his 2yo debut, so a better showing wouldn't surprise as long as there's not much rain. |

Midfield at Kempton then pulled up (something amiss; jockey said the filly moved poorly) at Chelmsford; the debut form is modest. |
