28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has become inconsistent but looks interesting back down in grade, having recorded 1m2f wins at Ascot and Sandown in last two attempts in Class 3; admittedly on a tougher mark now. |
8/1 |

7th 6 (14) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
4yo who won twice last year and got back on track to score over C&D (good; acts on soft) this June in first-time cheekpieces, which have been kept since; did not get run of the race in a top York handicap seven weeks ago and not discredited; needs a second look. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
4yo who won twice last year and got back on track to win in first-time cheekpieces at Sandown (1m2f, good) last month; appeared to have more in hand than the 1l winning margin suggests and he might have more to offer in the headgear; could be in the mix under a 5lb penalty. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent 5yo; lurks on a dangerous mark but usually runs over middle distances nowadays and was well beaten on last month's seasonal debut. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Useful for Ralph Beckett but nowhere near that level for this yard last year, albeit placed twice over 1m2f at Doncaster off his reduced mark at the end of last summer; off six months; the betting should help guide to expectations. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Has performed well in several notable handicaps, including a strong success at Windsor (2m; beat the subsequent County winner) in January and good second at the Cheltenham Festival (upped to 2m4f, soft) last time; solid contender who looks set for another big run. |
13/2 |

2nd 23 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Fairly useful hurdler at about 2m and ran creditably (lost two places close home; finished fourth) in the Fred Winter at this meeting 12 months ago; bagged a valuable pot at Windsor (soft) in January but form dipped last time; goes into unknown territory over this longer distance. |
33/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
5yo who races prominently and has been progressive this season in some competitive handicaps, finishing second at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft) in December and winning at Windsor (2m, soft) last month; up 5lb for last time but he did it nicely and could continue to improve; respected. |

7th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Main claim to fame is his early departure in the Derby; achieved little in two runs afterwards but appreciated the drop in grade to be third at Newbury (Class 3 1m2f, good to firm); there are races in him off an untouched mark. |
10/1 |

31st Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won novice at Newbury (1m2f, good to soft) on debut in April; stumbled and unseated leaving the stalls in the Derby (again 28-1) next time, leading the field home riderless on that occasion but he was tailed off in the Group 2 King Edward VII at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; 18-1) after racing freely; needs to put that latest run miles behind him. |

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. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Refused to race at Musselburgh in February when last seen so comes with a risk attached; however, prior to that he won a juvenile hurdle at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) and has potential off this opening mark in view of his useful Flat form (effective on soft in that code). |

1st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 1 |

Narrowly justified favouritism at Wetherby (second hurdles attempt) last time, adding to his Flat win; stiffer task upped in grade but may be capable of further improvement. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Flat winner but he's 0-9 over hurdles and has been beaten 17l or more in four handicaps (2m1f-3m) since November; mark continues to fall but he needs the cheekpieces to make a difference on this drop back in trip. |
20/1 |

7th 8 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

16th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Possibly unsuited by the return to soft ground and/or something was amiss last time; drops back in class, having kept better company since handicapping, and returns to the scene of his easy novice win (sole AW run); interesting. |
9/2 |
|
8th 6 (4) |
7th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Impressed on reappearance (after being gelded); ran well but didn't stay 1m4f on handicap debut at York and then found significant trouble in running when travelling with purpose at Royal Ascot (1m2f); only 4-1 for a strong handicap at Glorious Goodwood but never picked up; that needs forgiving but he remains of interest; probably fine on all ground. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 in handicaps, but he continues to edge down the weights and ran well when beaten just over 2l into fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; blinkers given a go this time; one for the shortlist. |
6/1 |
|
2 (8) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to win a handicap and not at his best on his last two starts (caught wide here latest); has dropped a long way in the weights though and Rossa Ryan is a notable booking. |
8/1 |
|
10th 12 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Beat two rivals at Pontefract on second start but yet to win a handicap and hasn't been the most consistent; easy to forgive a below-par Epsom run last time and gets a hood (has worn a visor) but needs to raise game. |
8/1 |
