29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Unraced at two but he scored twice around this trip on turf as a 3yo; built on his Chester comeback in May with neck second of 14 in fairly valuable Newcastle handicap (7f, AW) one month ago; that wasn't far off his best and he may still be capable of better; respected. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Best form has been on AW, with a career high at Newcastle in January (5f); 0-12 on grass and well down the field in a Class 2 at Glorious Goodwood latest. |
12/1 |

19th 8 (14) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
All three wins and best form have been on the AW, delivering a career high at Newcastle in January (5f AW); lower turf mark sees him 2lb higher here but he is 0-11 on grass and lacks a recent run. |
50/1 |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Strong 6f form here until a disappointing run eight days ago, tanking through the race but finding little off the bridle; should be fine back at 5f and he remains on a dangerous mark. |

7th Apr 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
in touch with leaders on far side of group, pressed leader from 2f out, edged right 1f out, no extra final 110yds |
13/8 |

7th Apr 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Thirsk (1m, good) last August on second start and followed up in Newcastle novice (1m, AW) in September; this unexposed 4yo has potential off his opening mark and he's firmly in calculations. |

1st 1 (12) |
10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Confirmed the promise of his Thirsk debut in July (7f, good to soft) by winning a 1m novice back there last month; improvement required to defy a penalty but it's not out of the question. |

took keen hold, made all, ridden 2f out, edged left but went clear inside final furlong |

2nd 5 (2) |
4th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Improved from May's Ayr debut when beaten 2l into fourth of nine at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) in July; half-sister to an AW winner and cannot be dismissed easily. |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dam was useful over this trip and he's shown enough in three starts over 7f-7.6f to suggest he's worth considering back from a short break on handicap debut now handed a stiffer test and fitted with first-time headgear/tongue-tie; watch the market. |

29th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 127y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
First foal of a Group-placed 1m winner whose siblings include Oaks/dual Arc winner Enable; attracted support into 15-2 on recent Wetherby debut (7f, good) and he ran well to finish third of 16 behind a useful prospect; has quite a bit to find with Upscale but he should know more this time and is open to progress over this longer trip. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
No wins in 17 and soundly beaten more often than not this season; runs well now and again but he's very light on AW experience. |
16/1 |

5th 7 (6) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
16-race maiden; went close in Ayr classified (1m, good) last month but finished well down the field in a subsequent AW handicap (1m2f) and cannot be relied upon heavily; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner off 1lb lower last July (good); best run this term when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Beverley last time (7.5f, good to firm; fifth has also won since); solid chance. |
9/2 |

2nd 11 (10) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Off the same mark as for his sole win last summer, over 1m at Doncaster; however, this season hasn't started at all well. |
20/1 |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Gained last summer's breakthrough win over 1m and remains unexposed over this trip but finished down the field here (7f) on last month's reappearance and needs that run to have brought him on. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Novice winner in 2024; his form has dipped quite markedly since a good run in defeat at Nottingham in May. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 13 starts came in a Ripon novice over 1m in 2024; best effort this term came when third of 11 over this C&D in May but he's been down the field on his last three starts; tongue-tie added. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 12 starts came in a Ripon novice in 2024 (1m, good); hasn't been the most consistent this season and he's been well beaten on his last two outings; down to a career-low mark but others are preferred. |
