10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Debut at Ayr last September remains his only win but three of his last four starts (two over 1m2f at Ayr, one C&D) suggest he is capable of getting seriously involved. |
7/2 |
|
8 (2) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won 2yo debut here (1m, good) last September and clear second behind well-handicapped winner in handicap over this C&D (good) in July; has shown promise on good to soft (unraced on softer); close fifth at York 11 days ago and he could play a leading role now back here. |
5/1 |
|
10 (10) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Second to an unexposed Haggas horse at Ayr before racing too freely for his own good when favourite for a Racing League handicap at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft); if giving himself a better chance here he might not be far away. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Cost 600,000gns as a breezer in April 2024; consistent rather than progressive to date and although he wasn't beaten far at Wolverhampton 13 days ago, he didn't look an easy ride. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Made rather disappointing return from 343-day absence when well-held fourth in 1m Pontefract maiden last month but his three 2yo runs were all promising and he remains unexposed; switches to AW for handicap debut. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Absent since last October (gelded in interim) but could be a contender if retaining the promise shown on his three 2yo starts (7f/1m, good to firm/good); interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 2lb |
First reserve; made the breakthrough in a 7f Dundalk handicap in March and followed that with runner-up finishes over the same trip back at Dundalk and on turf at Leopardstown (yielding to soft); below his best at the Curragh last time. |
|
|
9th 12 (11) |
4th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Made the breakthrough in a 7f Dundalk handicap in March for this rider; runner-up on his next start and maintained the improvement when second at Leopardstown 19 days ago, beaten a short head after making most; strong chance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (12) |
15th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Made the breakthrough in a 7f Dundalk handicap last month off 55 under a 7lb claimer and good effort to take second off this mark next time; in good form and capable if bringing his best to turf. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Didn't progress as may have been expected following a 1m win at Southwell last March; dropped away to finish eighth of the nine runners on last month's stable debut at Newcastle (1m); enough to prove for now. |
33/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last March and runner-up at Ayr in September on final run for Kevin Ryan; sold for 10,000GBP in October; lacks a recent outing but is not ruled out on his stable debut. |
12/1 |
|
8 (9) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Down the field on his last four starts but those have been over 1m2f-1m4f and this 3yo is back down to the same mark as for his win at Southwell (1m, AW) in March; not written off now back down in distance. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-race maiden but he posted a solid effort when third of 11 in a higher grade than this at Ripon (1m2f, good) ten days ago; can make his presence felt if staying this longer trip (unraced beyond 1m3f). |
4/1 |
|
3rd 12 (3) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
0-11; hasn't built on his early promise when third on his debut here in August 2024; his mark continues to drop but he doesn't appeal. |
16/1 |
|
5th 9 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
11-race maiden; ran well at Newmarket (1m1f, good) last October before a lesser effort on the AW at Southwell (1m3f) one month later; one of three runners for Tim Easterby. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won over a similar trip at Ripon in July and, although best efforts since have been on AW, he may find one or two too good in refitted cheekpieces. |
16/1 |
|
2 (1) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Got off the mark at Ripon (1m2f) in July and posted a good fifth of ten in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 17 days ago; well in the mix with cheekpieces added. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Placed in three of his eight races before a breakthrough win at Ripon (1m2f; narrowly); has since finished last at Carlisle and has no AW experience. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Inconsistent in his seven handicaps but he's won two of them; gelded before his successful return at Southwell (1m3f, AW) three weeks ago, when asserting by about 2l in six-runner race; 4lb higher today but probably okay on turf and has to be considered seriously. |
11/4 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win came by a nose at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last August and he ran well when second of nine at Kempton (1m3f, AW) next time; possibly didn't handle the undulations of Newmarket (1m4f) in the Old Rowley Cup when last seen and has since been gelded; could be capable of bouncing back returned to the AW. |
6/1 |
|
10th 11 (11) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
First win came by a nose when returning to form at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in August on seventh start; good second of nine off this mark at Kempton (1m3f, AW) nine days ago and he's bred to get this new trip of 1m4f; acts on good to firm; needs a second look. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Ran well, half-length second in big field, at Thirsk (6f, good) returned to turf last time; registered sole success (on AW in February) in his only 5f attempt; no mystery if his tally is doubled. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 17 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Just one win from 22 starts but he is unexposed as a sprinter; apprentice takes off a handy 3lb and he holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 9 (7) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Hampered and eased off when a beaten-favourite last time, having previously got off the mark on his first run in a sprint (5f) off 6lb lower; unexposed as a sprinter. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won handicaps last season when always prominent at Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft) in May and Beverley (1m2f, soft) in September; no show when 14-1 for reappearance one month ago, his first race on good to firm, but it's not hard to think he will be a lot more potent today. |
10/1 |

9th 8 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Ended last season with his second win of the campaign at Beverley (1m2f, soft) in September; yet to race on ground quicker than good but his progressive profile gives him a squeak. |
9/2 |

1st 4 (5) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained his breakthrough success at Carlisle (1m1f) in May but he came in last of four in 1m4f Ripon handicap 56 days ago; he's not ruled out back in trip after a break though. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Ended 2025 in excellent form when runner-up on his last three runs; shaped encouragingly after seven months off when eighth of 11 in 1m1f handicap at Ayr ten days ago, leading until 1f out; should strip sharper now and this low-mileage 4yo merits serious consideration in his bid for a breakthrough victory. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

11th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Showed minor ability last autumn on his first two starts; 250-1 and well beaten on his return from a winter break at Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft) last month; would be interesting if supported on handicap debut. |

9 (5) |
29th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Displayed some ability last autumn on first two starts (8.3f/1m) but not enough to suggest he's the one to be on today; upset in stalls and withdrawn at Musselburgh last month (20-1 at the time). |
