13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last seen floundering on heavy going in the November Handicap at Doncaster; the clear highpoint of that campaign was his second at Epsom (1m4f, good; stays 1m6f) in April, which came first time out and points up his chance given that he is now 11lb lower; needs a second look. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Progressive last year so his mixed form this season has been a little disappointing, albeit his latest sixth (Dramatic Star second, Stressfree third) in the Old Borough Cup at Haydock (1m6f, good) was respectable. |

6th 11 (17) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Mixed form this season and disappointing at Goodwood last month; however, he won over C&D last September (good; also effective on soft) and is on a handy mark for his in-form stable; not discounted now back here. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Excellent 3yo season culminated in his Listed win at Ascot (1m6f, soft) and, after a delayed reappearance last year, he found career-best form to win a good handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, good to soft; tongue tied second time) in September on final outing; the Yorkshire Cup and Ascot Gold Cup entries are striking but ideally he would be on ground softer than good. |
5/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Sometimes slowly away; 4-8 last year, culminating in his Listed win at Ascot (1m6f, soft) in October; not seen this term until July and back to form when a creditable, staying-on ninth of 22 at 40-1 in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to firm; tongue tied first time) three weeks ago; down 2lb and a return to more testing ground may well suit. |

9st 8lb |
Sometimes slowly away; 4-8 last year, culminating in his Listed win at Ascot (1m6f, soft) in October; he's not shown nearly enough on either start this season (not seen until July) and now has tongue tied first time. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won a good-ground maiden here last June but hasn't offered much in five handicaps subsequently; his mark is dropping if nothing else. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Got off the mark in a Worcester maiden (2m, good) last June but has been beaten in four handicaps since; his mark continues to drop but he doesn't look ready to take advantage. |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Five-race maiden; continues to ease in the weights (down 2lb) after finishing down the field at Chepstow (1m4f, good; seventh of 11, 20-1) a fortnight ago; stamina reserves untested beyond 1m4f, so enough reasons to oppose. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Well-connected 4yo who showed a bit more on his handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month when the run might well have been needed; looks open to improvement back on turf. |

28th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Represents major connections; showed improvement at Sandown (1m2f; handicap debut) two weeks ago, rallying towards the finish having been headed under 2f out; clear possibilities off same mark dropped in grade, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |
11/8 |

14th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |

Has failed to build on his 2yo effort in two outings this season; however, may be capable of progress now qualified for handicaps; represents major stable and can't be written off. |

Dual 1m6f AW Flat winner for Joseph Parr; didn't jump that well when pulled up on hurdles debut; should improve. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won two low-grade 1m6f AW handicaps for Joseph Parr when fitted with cheekpieces in February; changed hands for 8,500gns in May; goes without headgear on stable/hurdle debut but will be fine stamina-wise; market may guide. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Minor honours in his last four AW races (1m5f/2m) but well beaten in his only two turf starts this term and absent since June; he has won twice but is not straightforward and does not look the percentage call; yard runs four. |
12/1 |

13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Strong traveller who's far from easy and has hung both ways (normally to the left); arrives in good form for a yard among the winners, though, and is on a mark off which he can win when things fall right. |
7/1 |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Hurdle winner who got off the mark on the Flat over C&D in December; couple of creditable thirds here since then but he flopped at Ascot (last of eight) last month and needs to bounce back after that 13l defeat; stablemate of Donald Llewellyn. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Windsor handicap (11.5f) last May, but he's generally struggled since, including never involved in two 1m course handicaps in recent weeks; this trip is more suitable but would need to see market support to consider. |

7th 2 (4) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Windsor handicap (11.4f, good to firm) last May, but he's generally struggled since and was never involved on stable debut over C&D last month; has something to prove and he's still 3lb higher than for his win. |
20/1 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won on turf in the spring and was creditable second of 14 here (1m3f) in first-time blinkers in June; clearly wasn't himself when struggling here last month, after a break, and has a big role to play if back on song in first-time visor. |
