3rd 5 (5) |
24th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Godolphin gelding who is proving consistent (form figures read 11324); ran creditably upped to 1m6f at Ascot (good to firm) most recently, while leaving the impression a stronger pace would have suited; in the mix. |
4/1 |

7 (4) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Worn cheekpieces throughout; form figures of 113 in 1m2f/1m4f novice/maidens, the third coming in a warm race at Southwell; left for dead by the winner on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) but that was behind a Juddmonte horse delivering a career best; should stay. |
7/2 |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Wore cheekpieces all three starts; ended well on top in a maiden at Newmarket (1m2f, soft) in October and a Southwell novice (at 1-7) in February; third of six in a warm novice at Southwell (again 1m4f on AW) in early April was creditable and he should have more to offer in handicaps over 1m4f+. |

2nd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 80y |
11st 7lb |
80-rated Flat maiden has shaped respectably in two maiden hurdles, at Tramore and when didn't quite get home in a much stronger Navan contest last month; can be keen and tried hooded here. |
9/4 |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Has led; both wins at 2m on the AW and turf (good) last autumn when with Emma Lavelle; better than ever on final two starts for her in the spring and there have been trip (2m4f) then going and track excuses (good to soft at Chester) for this yard since; revival possible. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Bit to prove on softer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; made most when well beaten trying 2m4f in a Class 2 at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago but has a competitive mark in this Class 4. |
3/1 |
|
6th 14 (13) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Not proven on firmer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; has a competitive mark and possibilities going beyond 2m, but this is also a better race. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
1,000,000gns yearling; progressed in three qualifying runs and he readily fought off a challenge to make winning handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month; 5lb rise is only a footnote for an unexposed sort who looks like he'll relish this step up in trip. |
7/2 |

2 (7) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
1,000,000gns yearling; progressive form in three starts on turf without living up to his breeding, finishing second of five on his return from nine months off in a valuable Doncaster novice (1m4f, good; first start since being gelded) 18 days ago; may step up again now handicapping with stable 67-210 (32%) here in past five seasons. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Godolphin runner who is well bred and cost 1,000,000gns as a yearling; failed to meet expectations in two Newmarket events last term but perhaps he'll do better as a 3yo and now gelded; not written off. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Powerful yard, who won this two years ago, had a few disappoint at short prices of late; this lightly raced 400,000gns yearling holds obvious claims, having been gelded since winning his novice last summer (highly tried a couple of times prior) though. |
4/5 |

1st 5 (1) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Solid second in Doncaster maiden on seasonal debut (1m2f; useful winner has advertised the form since); seemingly out of his depth in Epsom Listed event and Royal Ascot handicap since; respected back in calmer waters. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has been in the wars over hurdles since nearly winning a juvenile event at Newbury in February; last seen on the Flat when winning this race by 6l 12 months ago when 7lb lower; likely contender. |
4/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Flat winner whose hurdles form comprises a couple of second-place finishes and a late fall (beaten at the time); even off bottom weight, this looks a difficult task upped in class. |
33/1 |
|
6 |
9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won on the Flat at Brighton in September; has taken well to hurdling, finishing runner-up on both starts, latest when beaten a neck at Newbury (2m, good to soft; 5-2) ten days ago; looks a matter of time before he gets his head in front in this sphere. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive last year, with the second of his two AW wins coming over C&D in December; this is his first run of the year but he has to be of interest. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went very close in a Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) last November but after being gelded, he's had two heavy defeats in handicaps (1m2f/1m4f) this season; still unexposed but he needs a major revival with visor now tried. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Best two efforts from five starts have been on AW and he's been off since finishing last of six in a class 3 at Doncaster (1m2f, good; beaten 24l) in March; drops in grade and steps up in trip with a bit to prove. |
9/1 |
