3rd 6 (3) |
1st Oct 2023 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Dual novice winner in early part of this year (1m/1m2f); yet to make his mark in handicaps but contested two hot races before chasing home an exciting prospect at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm; first-time hood) in August; not a straightforward ride but could still have a bigger run in him. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won two of three novice events, latterly in pretty smooth fashion at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May; racing so freely has not helped when well held in hot handicaps at Royal Ascot (1m4f) and Newmarket (1m2f; made most) and he's better than those results; has his sights lowered but still needs to settle with the new hood. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won over 1m6f at Redcar in August but hasn't given himself a chance in two subsequent races after pulling hard, with and without the hood; risky. |
11/2 |

5th 2 (3) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Ran below market expectations, having raced freely, last time when bidding for a Redcar double (1m6f); upped further in distance but may settle better and rebound with hood reapplied. |

Gained second career win when scoring over C&D last time (good to firm); chance off this 4lb higher mark, providing the ground doesn't turn soft. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
1-12 on turf; returned to form when second at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in September then went back-to-back at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on next two starts; slowly run series final didn't work out next time; not discounted on this comeback. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins this summer, at Salisbury in July (1m2f, good to firm) and over C&D 19 days ago; hit with a 5lb rise but still feasibly weighted. |
100/30 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Inconsistent but snapped losing sequence when winning at Salisbury (good to firm) in July; below form next two starts but close to career best when second at Doncaster (also 1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; has run well here before and in calculations from the same mark (2lb well in). |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with a Flat success at Southwell and he's bagged back-to-back handicaps here since, readily landing the odds over C&D 13 days ago; hiked up 10lb now but thriving and still the one to beat. |
11/8 |
|
1st 5 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won on the Flat at Southwell (2m, AW) in January and followed up here (2m1f, good) last Tuesday, which was his second run in a handicap hurdle; escapes a penalty for that recent win and there can be considerable optimism that he'll be suited by this step up in trip; could be tough to beat. |
5/4 |

1st 4 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Runner-up to a dual subsequent winner on handicap hurdle debut at Perth (2m, good) in September and reverts to this discipline after clearcut 2m AW win in January; could still have untapped potential over jumps; must be considered. |

30th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Fourth at Catterick (7f, heavy) in April; left that debut form way behind when winning a nine-runner maiden at Pontefract (1m, good) four weeks ago, looking green, wandering up the straight but getting up late on; despite his pedigree, it could be that this step up in trip will suit him; blinkers are also turned to; in the mix. |

1st 6 (4) |
3rd May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Gelding by Mehmas; 6-1, too green to do himself justice when 11l fourth of ten in a Catterick novice last month (7f, heavy); improvement likely. |
13/2 |

5 (10) |
25th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced for Andrew Balding; 6-1 when fourth of ten on his Catterick debut (7f, heavy) 13 days ago, albeit over 10l behind the winner; out of an AW winner, but he needs to improve and the outside stall not helpful. |

9st 10lb |
Two wins last year, the latter in runaway fashion over 1m4f here in November (6lb higher today); shot up the weights and found it tough since but he is creeping back down again; unraced on Flat beyond 1m4f. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |

Back to form with a runaway win over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in November but he shot up the weights after that and his form has nosedived since. |

Won at Pontefract (2m1f, good) in June when upped in trip on third handicap start; mixed form since but he ran well when third at Catterick (2m, soft) two starts ago and is not discounted. |

Handicap debutante who holds very weak claims on form (bumper/Flat); needs a transformation for getting a mark. |

£3,500 yearling; third foal; dam well beaten at 5f/6f as 2yo, sister to 6f 2yo Listed winner Royal Rascal and half-sister to five sprint winners; makes a late debut and probably best watched. |
