25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Record is only 1-12 and most of his form is over middle distances; however, looks a possible danger at this level provided he's suited by returning to 1m for first time since debut. |
4/1 |

3rd 6 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Runner-up last July-October on three of his first four starts for this yard and he again finished second on this month's reappearance at Thirsk (1m4f, good), albeit no match for the winner; he could build on that latest effort and is not discounted. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 3-6 when winning a C&D handicap (good to firm) last September, making virtually all; gelded subsequently; reappeared with close fourth of eight in conditions race at Thirsk (7f, good) three weeks ago and could show the benefit of that outing today; this 4yo is firmly in calculations. |
11/4 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Back on the up with a bang returned to 7f and ridden positively when ready winner of a handicap at Newmarket (good to firm) last September; subsequently gelded; has the potential for even better this year and his stable is no stranger to success in this, including in the Shadwell silks. |

1st 5 (4) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Second leg of novice double came in 1m event on the July course; no further progress in two starts over that C&D since but latest effort suggests this drop back in trip is worth exploring; not written off. |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive sort who won over 7f at Kempton on reappearance and ran respectably on handicap debut (1m) last time; switches to turf for the first time but open to improvement and should go well. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
17th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
$210,000 yearling; made a successful return from 209 days off in a slowly run Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) last month; open to further progress now making his handicap debut; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
3 (2) |
28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
$210,000 yearling; ran green when fifth on Wolverhampton debut last October and he built on that with a promising third at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) 24 days later; that form puts him firmly in the picture and he's respected on return. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Charlie Johnston and he went close at Southwell (1m, AW) on his final start for that yard; beat only one rival home on his stable debut 174 days ago and now has his first try over 6f; cheekpieces left off. |
9/1 |

2nd 10 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Kempton effort when trapped out wide; in good hands and bred to be better than this mark but not obviously ahead of the handicapper at present. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Below par turned out quickly last time and given a rest since; has shown his recent improvement on turf and this return to AW presents a question mark. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Ex-Gosden maiden who's shown enough this spring to suggest he's on a competitive mark now; still to finish placed after nine runs, often at short prices, but no surprise to see him pop up; look for some support this time. |
25/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Capable of fair form but he failed to go on for John and Thady Gosden last season and didn't offer obvious promise in two outings for this yard last month. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Capable of fair form but he failed to go on for John and Thady Gosden last season; off five months before a patiently-ridden seventh of ten for his new yard in 6f Southwell handicap 19 days ago; can build on it now. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Progressive 4yo; 5-6 over 7f but showed he's just as effective at 1m when making Urban Lion pull out all the stops in the Lincoln at Doncaster (good to soft) three weeks ago; 1lb better off for a nose defeat and there should be little between the pair again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 12 (5) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 7f here in September (good to soft) and October (soft) to complete a four-timer; all of those wins came by less than 1l, suggesting he's a type who only just does enough, and there may be more left in the tank; worth another crack at 1m and could be in the mix if seeing it out. |
10/1 |
|
9 (4) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Led towards the finish in competitive field at the Doncaster St Leger meeting (good to soft) last time, completing a hat-trick and taking record over 7f to 4-5; could well continue to progress over this distance; strong contender. |
7/2 |
Verdict
Godolphin runners MUSIC OF TIME and Palmarian are particularly interesting, in that provisional order of preference, with room for flexibility depending on the market signals. The betting should provide further guidance across the board in this contest for newcomers.[Steve Boow]
