4th 1 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Tough and consistent sort who won the C&D Spring Cup on 2025 reappearance but couldn't get a clear run in it this time round; third in this race last year and 9lb higher today but he's an each-way contender. |
10/1 |

18th 3 (11) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Tough and consistent sort who won this race (good ground) on his reappearance 12 months ago and finished second in the Balmoral Handicap at Ascot in the autumn; starts the new season on a career-high mark but he's impossible to rule out. |
16/1 |

2nd 3 (6) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Acts on soft; has mostly run well in warm 7f/1m handicaps this season, never better than when dead-heating for second in a valuable event at Ascot 11 days ago; this first Listed assignment makes for a different scenario but he has the form to be not far away. |

4th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in June on second start and followed up in Haydock novice (1m, soft) in July; this 3yo close relation to Group 1 winner Nezwaah has considerable potential for her top trainer and could be significantly better than today's grade. |

7yo who was better than ever last season, a campaign that concluded with a fine second of 17 over C&D (good); races off the same mark today but he hasn't shone on his two outings this year. |

Won two in Britain for former stable but not much encouragement to take from three starts for current yard and his best form is on good ground. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won six for Darryll Holland, most notably when awarded the Spring Mile in March 2025; lost his way thereafter, and Gay Kelleway (0-4) couldn't rejuvenate; joined Jim Goldie for 13,000gns and there were positive signs when third over 1m here (stable debut) recently; is dangerously handicapped. |
9/4 |

3rd 1 (3) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Fairly useful for Darryll Holland, then form went markedly awry during a brief spell with Gay Kelleway; sold for 13,000gns since last run; market may prove instructive on debut for another new yard. |

9th Apr 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won on debut this time last year and beat a good yardstick at Southwell in November; caught wide when three places behind Blue Prince there 19 days ago and she can be given another chance, particularly as that was her first start in 93 days; hood returns. |

21st Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Well backed when landing a C&D fillies' handicap in November off a 4lb lower mark; respectable effort in a Deauville Listed event in December and she is clearly well suited by synthetics; still low mileage but another personal best is required back against male opposition. |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
C&D winner (good to soft) just over four years ago; on a losing run since going back-to-back at Nottingham and Newmarket (both heavy at around 1m) in the autumn of 2023 and recent efforts are not enough to tempt despite this falling mark. |

Continues to drop down the weights but this 8yo struggled in the main last season and it was the same story on last month's reappearance; needs to turn things around. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual course winner who has finished placed in his last four runs including when third in a classified event at Southwell (1m) in January; should be fine on this drop back in trip and he's respected back from a short break. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner who has finished placed in his last three runs including a close call in a classified event at Lingfield (1m, AW) on Monday; should give it another good shot back on Tapeta and he's respected. |
