7th 8 (6) |
26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Useful efforts when second in Group 2 Robert Papin at Chantilly (6f, good to soft) and fourth in Group 1 Phoenix at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) in the summer; gelded since a poor run in Listed race at Ripon in a first-time visor (discarded) at the end of August; bang there if back to his best but there have to be doubts after Ripon and James Doyle prefers Diego Ventura. |
14/1 |

7th 4 (4) |
26th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Made a winning start in 5f York novice then advanced his form when runner-up in the Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly and fourth in Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh (cheekpieces on) on his last two outings; visor goes on now and he holds good form claims. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Two wins over 5f on soft/heavy as a juvenile, the second a Listed event at Chantilly; hasn't won since and only seventh of nine on reappearance, but on a fair mark; could go well though stall 1 a slight negative. |
14/1 |

7th 1 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Smart 2yo; struggled in good handicaps last year but he has slipped down the weights and begins this campaign in a lower grade; one to keep a close eye on this year but drying ground isn't in his favour (best on soft/heavy). |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Did well for Stuart Williams in the second half of 2025; solid efforts on his first two runs this year before taking his form to new heights with a runaway win at Windsor (6f, good to firm); hit with an 8lb rise for that but it was a good time and there is no suggestion he was flattered; promising apprentice takes off 5lb; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
1st 9 (10) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Narrow 6f defeat at Chepstow last August but his next two runs at the trip were a failure and kept to shorter since, winning at Haydock (good to soft) in September; two respectable efforts at 5f this year (no aids latest) don't suggest this mark is ripe for plucking back at 6f, though. |
5/1 |
|
5th 8 (11) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won a 5f handicap (good to soft; first time in tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination) at Haydock last September off a 6lb lower mark; stayed on for second behind the impressive Lexington Blitz at Goodwood on last month's return; withdrawn at York two weeks ago having got upset in the stalls (9-1 at the time of withdrawal); the more rain the better; no accessories today. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
2-11, with the latest of those wins coming over C&D in August off a 2lb lower mark than today; below his best over 7f next time but bounced back with a solid effort at Southwell (6f, AW); contender but his hold-up style means things need to drop right. |
11/1 |
|
3 (9) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Hard to predict and a 6f win at Chelmsford in August was followed by a poor run over 7f here 11 days later; needs to bounce back but perhaps the return to this distance will help. |
9/1 |
|
1 (5) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had been struggling over 7f but he came from behind to win over 6f at Chelmsford (narrowly off 3lb lower) and could build on that; this trip is the query. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Started well for this yard but the wheels have come off lately, finishing last over C&D one month ago then finishing tailed off on AW last Monday; not easy to suggest after that. |
20/1 |
|
11th 1 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
2-5 on AW, most recently at Lingfield (5f) in April off 5lb lower; beaten three times on turf since but can't be discounted back on AW despite going without any aids. |
11/2 |
|
7th 3 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Back to his best since joining his current yard but he's shot up the weights and there have been some costly defeats to go with two AW wins; now 0-17 on turf, having pulled hard in a messy Bath affair last time, and will need a career-best effort to take this. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Third of 22 in 3yo handicap over C&D (good to firm) at this meeting 12 months ago and progressive on AW since; soft ground may not have suited at Musselburgh last time and he's had wind surgery since; however, a career best is needed today and he has to prove he's just as good on turf as AW. |
16/1 |
|
11th 2 (1) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive and posted another personal best when third at Southwell (5f, AW) on reappearance; his turf form is at a lower level but he still won at Thirsk last spring and finished third in a big field at York's Dante meeting (both 5f, good to firm); race-fit and should be in the thick of things again if a low draw doesn't count against him. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer; thumped ten rivals in a C&D handicap last July and ran well off his revised mark (1lb lower today) back here in September; found the Group 1 Abbaye too hot to handle when last seen in October; won after a break last spring but he was well ahead of his mark then and that probably isn't the case now. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Without a victory since 2024 and he arrives well below par; reared and unseated rider at the start in 6f Wolverhampton handicap 15 days ago. |
20/1 |
|
5 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Decent 2yo who proved hard to place last year and has again lacked consistency this spring; the blinkers come off as he makes his AW debut off a career-low mark and it's hard to know what to expect in truth. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice at Chester as a 2yo; just missed out over C&D last month (blinkers first time) when finding only Betweenthesticks too strong; ran okay at Beverley next time and he was drawn wide when disappointing back there ten days ago; stable also run Changeofmind. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
His two turf wins (6f) came on soft and heavy; in good form this year and he made all at Southwell (6f, AW) in April; latest fourth at Carlisle was a fair effort on Tuesday and he's well drawn to attack. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (12) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All his wins have been at 6f, the latest at Southwell in April, but effective at 5f; goes particularly well on soft/heavy ground so today's conditions should be ideal; fair run last time at Hamilton (1.25l sixth of 13); could go well from his high draw. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Looked as good as ever when close third of 16 on seasonal debut at Ripon (6f, good to soft) in April but his form has dipped since and he has questions to answer on this AW debut. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on 2025 best; ran a fine race for third on his seasonal return at Ripon in April but two heavy defeats have followed (behind Novello Lad latest); needs a full revival. |
12/1 |
|
12th 4 (15) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Goes well fresh and he scored on his seasonal/handicap debut last April; again ran well when close third off this mark on his comeback (also Ripon, 6f) this term; he didn't back it up when suffering a heavy defeat at York last time, albeit from a poor draw, but this represents a drop back in grade so he's not dismissed. |

12th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Finished ahead of only one rival in his three qualifying runs (5f/6f); with leading yard and now goes handicapping off a lowly mark but he's not bred to be a sprinter and could be one for a bit further down the line. |
6/1 |
|
10th 4 (10) |
6th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Well beaten in two novice events this summer, showing some pace but dropping right away at Lingfield last month (6f, good); significant improvement required. |

15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Two wins at 5f, latest at Doncaster last June; disappointing recently; on a good mark so could go well with blinkers on for first time (fair run when visored first time) but stamina to prove. |
15/2 |
|
11th 13 (16) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Better signs for new stable when fourth with visor added at Redcar (5f, good to firm) in April but he finished tailed off at Thirsk (6f, good) three weeks ago; has something to prove again after that and the headgear is now discarded. |
