1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Won his first two starts in maiden/novice company; second of nine at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on his handicap debut last June but it has been tougher going since; latest third at Ripon was a promising enough return to action though and he should give a good account. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 (6) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Shaped well on his first four career starts, winning an Ayr maiden (5f, good) and a Pontefract novice (6f, good); disappointing since, including on first run after being gelded (AW) last time; back after a break. |
14/1 |

12th 5 (8) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won his first two starts and he was a close second on his handicap debut last June (6f, good to firm); struggled thereafter, albeit pitched into a Group 1 at Royal Ascot; gelded during his 132-day absence; could still have some potential and switching to AW shouldn't be a problem. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Finished close up in fifth in this race 12 months ago off an 8lb higher mark; 2026 campaign has been underwhelming but trainer has pulled rabbits out of the hat in this race before; lively outsider. |
40/1 |
|
18th 15 (18) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Big chance on his 3yo best but he hasn't got anything going in three runs in big sprint handicaps this year (had wind operation prior to his return); conditions should be fine and the new cheekpieces could give him a lift; revival not out of the question. |
40/1 |
|
21th 18 (16) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
On the up in 2025, completing a hat-trick before fine runs at Royal Ascot and in the Ayr Gold Cup (beaten favourite in this race in between); had a wind operation prior to reappearance but he has finished down the field in both starts since, the Wokingham on latest; down in the weights but a full revival is essential; tongue-tie experiment last time is quickly aborted. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Third of 17 at York (5f, good to firm) in July then runner-up at Thirsk (5f, good); merely mid-division at York most recently but the good to soft ground may have been against him; one to consider on AW debut. |
11/4 |

11th 14 (18) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
5f nursery win (good to firm; trained by Bryan Smart) in 2024; missed 2025 but he retains all his ability and has run three good races in defeat this year; looks well up to winning off this mark and he's one to take seriously. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Versatile ground-wise; particularly effective on downhill tracks, including a win in this race on good 12 months ago; below par in recent starts but things didn't go his way at Goodwood last time and he's well treated if staging a revival having dipped to 3lb lower than when third (Vintage Clarets second) of 20 in the Epsom Dash (good soft) in June. |
8/1 |

6th 2 (1) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Versatile ground-wise; particularly effective on downhill tracks and was a ready winner over this C&D in May before having an awkward passage in 6th of 23 at the big meeting here in July; front-running at York didn't come off ten days ago but he has to be of interest on the earlier form. |
11/2 |
|
20th 6 (1) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Better than ever this year following a gelding operation, winning at Goodwood (5f, good) in May and running with credit at Epsom (the Dash) and Glorious Goodwood since; should give his running but might find one or two better treated today. |
