29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has endured a couple of lengthy absences in his seven-race career but showed the ability remains when successful in a first-time hood (now removed) at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) last month; half-brother to a couple of AW winners and shortlisted; stable also runs Mathematician. |

3rd 5 (1) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has mixed record in his six starts but he added to his debut win for the Crisfords when landing a Chepstow handicap (1m2f, good to soft; hood applied) last month; up 4lb but he beat a clear second last time and he still has potential; shortlisted. |

1st 5 (5) |
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. |

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. |
14/1 |

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. |
12/1 |

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. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to strike form after four runs for new stable this year (1m-1m2f) and her only win was gained over 1m2f on heavy ground; continues to slip down the weights but drops back to 7f with quite a bit to prove. |
7/1 |

7th 8 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Became disappointing for Marcus Tregoning last year and has been safely held on all three starts for Jim Goldie this season but continues to slip down the weights and will be favoured by the forecast rain; can't be written off just yet. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Not beaten far on either start for new stable this season, latterly when fourth of eight here (1m, good to firm) a month ago; will be suited by this move back up in trip and significant rain will make this heavy-ground winner of strong interest. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Smart efforts in defeat at Listed/Group 3 level last season but hasn't come close to reproducing that form returned to handicaps this season, including with cheekpieces added last time; being eased another 3lb can only help but leap of faith needed. |
20/1 |

11th 8 (13) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won on soft as 2yo; reappearance win last April saw him pitched afterwards into Listed and Group events, in which he was initially on the premises but his handicap mark shot up as a result; ninth of 12 to Respond at Chester wasn't a greatly auspicious return to handicap company on reappearance this season and connections now reach for headgear. |

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. |

21st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

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. |

8th 1 (1) |
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. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won two in a row at Nottingham (1m2f, good/good to soft) last summer but she's been out of sorts this season and failed to beat a rival at Nottingham last time; now 8lb lower than for her last success but she needs to turn things around. |
25/1 |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |

Hard to predict and was tailed off on Tapeta two weeks ago but that was after a respectable fourth at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm); has possibilities if she can bounce back again and both wins came over C&D last July. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Dual Nottingham winner last summer, latterly off a 2lb higher mark; partial revival in first-time cheekpieces latest but was allowed her own way in front and she'll need to find more again. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
