2nd 4 (4) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won two 6f novice events as 2yo, beating Wokingham winner Double Rush in the first; well below that level when confined to only two starts at Meydan in 2025 (both in January), but he ran well for a long way in a Southwell handicap (7f; tongue-tie added) on his comeback last month; that was an encouraging effort after a long absence and he looks interesting on this drop back in trip. |
5/1 |

5th 3 (5) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won two turf novices as a 2yo, beating Wokingham winner Double Rush in the first; well below that level when confined to only two starts at Meydan in 2025 (both in January; one on AW); lots to prove on a few counts on handicap debut and with a tongue-tie tried, though any confidence behind him would turn some heads. |
16/1 |

9th 3 (5) |
11th Oct 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Godolphin colt who has progressive 6f form and should be 3-3 (would likely have won on debut but for blowing the start); the manner of his wins at Windsor (soft) and Yarmouth (good) suggest he'll cope with this drop in distance; respected. |

in touch with leaders on inner, switched right after 2f, raced slightly wide but good headway home turn, led over 1f out, soon went clear, pushed out inside final furlong, easily |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |

It was a useful Newmarket maiden (6f, good) in which he kept on encouragingly for fourth in August and, with improvement on the cards, he should be in the mix. |

1,500,000gns purchase who hasn't exactly lived up to expectations, being 0-4; however, gelded prior to running well in handicap here (7f) the final time; now goes in cheekpieces; may have a race of this nature in him. |

Has made the frame on all three starts (6f/7f, good to firm/good); improvement needed on nursery debut but he's been gelded since last time which could unlock the potential in his pedigree (cost 1,500,000gns); respected. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Has had some good results for this yard in 2026, winning two of his first three starts and going agonisingly close over 5f (good; has won on good to soft) at the top meeting here in July when checked in his run; not so strong at the finish over slightly further at York since but a major player back over C&D. |
5/1 |
|
11th 12 (12) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
On the up for new trainer this year, winning 5f handicaps at Yarmouth and Southwell before a fine second at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) three weeks ago, hitting the front 110 yards from home but picked off late on by a thriving opponent; 3lb rise asks a stiffer question. |
10/1 |

2nd 10 (6) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Last season went well and so too this current campaign for new trainer with 5f wins on good to soft (handles faster) and Tapeta; may not have reached his ceiling just yet and has been third and first in his two runs here. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Dual 7f course winner last year (good/good to soft); back on a good mark now but yet to build upon encouraging seasonal reappearance in April and not sure to be suited by this drop back to 6f. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Both wins came over C&D last year and has dropped 5lb lower than for the latest in September; modest effort at Southwell (7f, AW) last time, but still of interest returned to this track. |
7/1 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Mixed form this year but ran okay when third at Newmarket (7f, good) recently and has dropped below his last winning mark; unraced on Tapeta but seemed fine on Polytrack on his two previous AW runs; might not be far away. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Better than ever when winning at Chepstow (7f, soft) in June; he was returning from a ten-week break when finishing behind Aurora Majesty at Southwell 15 days ago; 2-3 at the track and won't mind how slow the ground gets; no surprise to see him go well. |

Took strike-rate to 5-16 when winning comfortably at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) ten weeks ago, looking better than ever; 7lb higher in this classier contest but has run well here before and he's not easily knocked. |

Unexposed 3yo who ended three-race 2yo campaign for John Ryan with small-field Nottingham novice win (5f, soft) in November; encounters much faster ground and has fitness to prove on stable/handicap debut. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Left 2yo novice/maiden form behind, having been gelded and possibly aided by the fitting of a visor, when striking at Wolverhampton this month (6f handicap); penalised when only third at Yarmouth next time (the horse he beat at Wolverhampton turned the tables by finishing second again); is 2lb lower off his revised mark here; player with return to 7f likely okay. |
7/2 |

3rd 1 (6) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Built on some minor promise in his qualifying runs, with a win on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW; first-time visor) last week; has penalty back on turf but if he can match that latest effort, he'd still have a chance of a successful follow-up. |
11/8 |
|
1 (3) |
3rd Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well held in three starts over 6f/7f on turf last year, since when he has been gelded; makes his handicap/AW debut in a first-time visor after 259 days off, but has been found a weak race; market may prove informative. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win at Nottingham at about 1m (good) in April 2025 but he has C&D form and a close call with Zachary Hickes at Yarmouth (about 1m3f, good to firm) for new yard puts him in this picture; may well improve further even though he's not obviously ahead of his mark on past efforts. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came over 1m in April 2025; in good form this season before his form dipped when fifth of ten in 1m4f Epsom handicap last month; latest race was voided and he's left Richard Hughes since; very much one to consider in a change of headgear for his new yard. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Has a rather all-or-nothing profile, easily winning 7f Leicester nursery (heavy) last October and a Lingfield handicap (7.6f, soft) in June; not sure what to expect and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. |
33/1 |

11 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Very patchy profile and he's yet to reproduce the form of his wide-margin Lingfield win (7.5f, soft) in June, when possibly flattered by bagging the stands' side rail; handicapper still in an unforgiving mood. |

5th 7 (10) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Caught late after hanging left in a C&D classified event two starts ago before gaining his fifth AW success at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise still leaves him fairly treated on old form and he has to be respected. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Talented sprinter (two Group-race wins in Dubai in 2025); slow starts have crept in this year but he was better in that department at York 17 days ago, only to find himself drawn on the wrong side; has the ability to feature but there are risks attached. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Has plenty of ability (two Group-race wins in Dubai) but slow starts have crept in, notably in the Stewards' Cup 18 days ago; the experiment with blinkers has been quickly aborted but he is a risky proposition for now. |
50/1 |
|
19th 5 (17) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Quickly established himself as a smart sprinter, winning Group 2 and Group 3 prizes at Meydan (both 5f; good to firm and good) in early 2025; the addition of cheekpieces saw him return to his best when second in a 5f Group 3 on Dundalk AW last October; not quite at his best in two runs in Dubai in January and absent since; new blinkers need to have a positive effect. |
