2nd 5 (8) |
20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Blinkers reinstated for last two starts, on first occasion making most to score by 6l in a six-runner race at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm); had this 10lb higher mark when fair fifth of 13 at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) two weeks ago, galloping on as if a return to this trip (he won a 1m4f novice last term) would be okay; needs to resume improvement, though. |
14/1 |

5th 2 (5) |
6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Came up shy in his first three handicaps but, with blinkers reinstated, he made most to score by 6l in a six-runner race at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) on latest; more to prove on softer ground and given he's 10lb higher in a much stronger race. |
4/1 |

2 (5) |
18th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
6l novice win at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last July with first-time blinkers; has come up shy in handicaps on all three starts since, absent since August (gelded) when fifth of 11 at Goodwood 15 days ago; kept hanging in the closing stages that day and the blinkers are reinstated; unraced on firmer than good; this is a small field but others are still a bit more persuasive. |

2nd 1 (11) |
10th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Did it well when making a winning debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in December, but having been sent off 15-8 favourite he proved disappointing when only beating one home on his Newbury reappearance (1m2f, good to soft) in April; returns from a gelding operation with something to prove. |
9/2 |

9th 1 (3) |
19th Apr 2024 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
750,000gns yearling; brother to 7f/1m winner Noble Dynasty (RPR 113), half-brother to winners including Barney Roy (7f-1m4f including Group 1; 124); 8-11 for maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in December and always front rank before rallying past the runner-up; looks sure to stay 1m2f and a useful prospect at the least. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Close Listed third here (1m6f, good) on penultimate start and got up close home in a slowly run Group 3 over that same C&D (good to firm) on latest; he's never ventured beyond that and it's questionable whether it will suit; also needs a bit more improvement but he's regularly proved capable of that. |
15/2 |

1st 4 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
5yo who is an improved performer this season and registered career-best form when a close third in C&D Listed race last time, a neck behind Tabletalk; should be bang there once again. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Acts on soft; can make the running; won six (four over hurdles, two on Flat) of seven starts in a golden spell last February-October, including over C&D in September in both the Jump Jockeys Derby (soft) and Apprentices' Derby (good); recent run over 2m at Goodwood should have teed him up nicely for what could be a plan from last year's winning yard; considered. |
7/1 |

3rd 1 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on soft; can make the running; won six (four over hurdles, two on Flat) of seven starts in a golden spell last February-October; soundly beaten over hurdles on latest three outings (in tough races on last two) and unraced beyond 1m4f on Flat, but he can't be comfortably dismissed in this small field. |
2/1 |

18th 16 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Has set the pace in small fields; won six (four over hurdles, two on Flat) of seven starts in a golden spell last February-October, the final leg in a conditions event at this track; soundly beaten on both starts since (admittedly no chance in Grade 1 latest) and unraced beyond 2m1f, leaving him with plenty to prove in this search for a big career best. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Floundered on testing ground in the last two November Handicaps at Doncaster but he ran well on soft at this track in October 2024; well-backed favourite off a good mark when he reappeared over C&D (good) in May and he scored smoothly, in charge from 2f out; off since and back up 7lb but has to be considered seriously. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
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. |
6/1 |

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. |

7th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Debut win at Newbury (1m2f) worked out well and wasn't far away from defying a penalty; went off too fast and didn't get home over 1m4f on the AW two months ago; gelded since and still has potential now tackling handicaps. |
6/1 |
|
6th 4 (10) |
10th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Made a winning debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) in May (form worked out well), but although a beaten favourite at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last month he did well to go down by just half a length having been keen early; this longer trip should suit and he is a half-brother to an AW winner; respected. |
2/1 |

2nd 3 (2) |
21st Jun 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
200,000gns half-brother to US Grade 1 turf winner Rockemperor who looked like winning from some way out on his Newbury debut five weeks ago; has plenty of potential and will only have learned from that; holds leading claims. |

4yo who is penalised for winning a Bellewstown maiden in April (2m1f, good); 0-4 in the meantime but the form of those defeats reads well in the context of this race, with his latest conqueror progressive. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
1-20 under rules and hasn't set the world alight since joining this yard; didn't settle when fifth of nine over C&D eight days ago and probably best watched despite a 4lb drop. |
6/1 |

5th 3 (4) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole success came in a Kempton AW handicap in July last year when trained by Tom Ward; had an unsuccessful stint over hurdles this year for current yard, and well held in a couple of 2m handicaps since; drops back in trip on AW return and best watched for now. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins have been on the Polytrack at Lingfield, last time winning by 2.5l in first-time blinkers over 1m5f; very much had the run of things that day but could be capable of defying the 5lb rise should the headgear continue to help. |
6/1 |

1st 3 (1) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Course winner (1m2f); ran well at Chelmsford in June off 5lb higher; stepping up to 2m hasn't worked on his last two starts, albeit in stronger company than this; blinkers added now back down in grade and he's one to be interested in. |
4/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |

Remains lightly raced and his useful dam got better with age for this yard; promising fourth at Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) last month but soundly beaten there since (2m) and he needs to raise his game today. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Well held on soft turf a fortnight ago but seems to save his best for AW, including runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f) and Lingfield (2m) in the spring; penultimate fourth of 13 back at Lingfield was also respectable and he's well treated on peak form. |
11/2 |

8th 1 (11) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Two seconds on AW and back-to-form fourth in that sphere on latest start; however, towards the rear on good ground on his only two turf starts, latterly when tailed off in a 1m6f handicap in June; a hood (absent this year) returns. |
8/1 |

4th 5 (13) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up off 3lb higher over C&D in May but his form has nosedived with heavy defeats in both subsequent runs; record is now 0-12 and others are more convincing; visor is removed and cheekpieces return. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Had an excellent spell last autumn, winning two of his final three starts at 1m (good and heavy); needed further progress to win the Spring Mile at Doncaster in March and that didn't happen but he ran well for a long way; can be more of a factor under Brodie Hampson who won this last year. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

An ideal type for this prize having ended last term with a C&D win, showing career-best form; that was on heavy but he seems versatile as regards ground; further progress is not out of the question; shortlisted. |

10st 1lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who won at Salisbury (1m4f) and Newmarket (1m6f, both on good to firm) last summer, but she reappeared with a laboured effort at Ascot (1m2f) in May; has bit to prove after another break and she seems more potent at longer trips. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |

Second win for Stuart Williams when getting up on the line over 1m6f at Newmarket (good to firm) last August; not seen since, though, and possibly best watched racing short of 1m3f for the first time on her return. |

Lightly raced 4yo who won on yard debut at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in June and close third at Chester (12.2f, good) next time; good to soft ground may not have been ideal when soundly beaten third here (1m4f) latest, and this trip may be within range, but she has to be better than ever today. |
