21st May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Bright start as 2yo in 2024 but then trailed the field in a Group 3 that October and, following an 80,000gns sale, has raced only twice for this yard, beaten 7l in one start last year and again on his comeback at Newbury 33 days ago; encouraging he's now putting a couple of runs together, though, so well worth a market check; hood added. |

Bright start as 2yo in 2024 but then trailed the field in a Group 3 that October and, following a 80,000gns sale, has raced only once since, when never dangerous in a 1m2f handicap last May; 343 days off before this belated fifth start and it's hard to know how much ability remains; market may guide. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won a maiden at Bath (1m, good) on debut and improved when third of five in a conditions stakes at Epsom (8.5f, heavy) two weeks later; he dropped right out, however, when 40-1 for a 1m2f Group 3 in October; this is his first run since leaving the Crisfords for 80,000gns that month and he was soon gelded; should stay but needs improvement. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His last two 7f wins came off just a 1lb lower mark, most recently in February, but he wasn't at his best in two runs last month on turf and the AW; others higher up the list. |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won off 3lb lower at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in February; good second over 6f at Newcastle next time but his form has cooled in last two starts; bit to prove again and he needs to bounce back near best. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
All three wins have been at 7f but he was a good second over this trip at Newcastle on AW finals day; didn't pack the same punch when fifth at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last time but he's still unexposed as a sprinter and is not ruled out back in trip. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |

Bought for 8,000gns out of Marcus Tregoning's yard last October having won a five-runner Bath novice over 1m2f in testing ground in 2024; didn't progress in handicaps last year but quite interesting off a decent mark on stable debut. |

A fair 1m2f juvenile winner but lightly raced this term, cheekpieces on when a fair fifth of 13 in 1m2f Bath handicap 13 days ago; possibilities from a falling mark. |

Highly tried after making a winning reappearance at Nottingham (1m2f, good) a year ago; proven fresh, but hard to know how well treated he is for this return to handicap company. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Ended last season with a novice win at Brighton (1m, soft) and he started this one with an emphatic win on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good); respectable efforts when highly tried in Group 3/Listed events in his last three runs but he's not made a major impact and needs to find more improvement. |

Showed steady progress in turf maidens (final effort has substance); well held, having failed to settle, in 1m2f AW nursery last time but may resume improvement back at 1m. |

10th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Well-bred colt who has improved with each of his three runs and was beaten less than 3l when fifth in a Bath maiden (1m, good) last month; now takes another step up in trip and he needs a close look on nursery/AW debut. |
7/1 |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Reached the frame on second start, when upped to 7f at Musselburgh in August, but it wasn't strong form and he's another who would prefer the ground to dry out. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Last four efforts leave plenty to be desired but has dropped 2lb lower than for the latest of two wins at Nottingham (1m2f) last July; respected if the first-time cheekpieces bring about a resurgence. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Bit to prove back at 1m but is otherwise interesting returned to Nottingham, being 2-2 here, namely a 1m2f double last July; 0-10 elsewhere. |

Won twice at Nottingham last July (1m2f, good and good to soft); just 1lb higher than for the second of those victories but she ended 2025 with a poor run and may not want the ground too lively. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile sort who won three times last year including at Leicester (1m, good to firm) and over C&D (heavy); now 2lb lower than for her AW win in December but things have not gone well in two runs this season; got hampered by a faller when pulled up at Lingfield on Tuesday but she needs a major revival back at this track; yard also runs Neptune Legend. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |

Won at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Kempton (6f, AW) last year, but she beat only one rival home at Kempton last month following a 63-day break; has won over 1m so this step back up in trip will be no issue, and she won't be inconvenienced by any rain. |

Did well for Harriet Bethell last season and his two runs this year have been encouraging, second of 13 to an unexposed one at Thirsk three weeks ago; mark left unchanged; big player. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

The winner of four of his eight starts last year (6f, good or slower); perhaps needed the run on his return to action at Newcastle last month, running respectably in the smaller stands' side group; the more rain to fall the better for him. |

Landed a fourth success of a productive first season with Harriet Bethell when comfortably seeing off 12 rivals at Pontefract in October; all those wins came at 6f but he was also second over 7f at Chelmsford last summer; no surprise were he to improve again this year. |

Out of a Listed/Group 2 winner; 14-1, made a low-key start over 7f on Chelmsford AW last month and although he could come on plenty for the run the more likely outcome is that he'll need this, too. |
