20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
His first win came over 7f (soft) but better at 1m now, getting up late to win on Wolverhampton AW when making his yard debut in January and finding only a subsequent winner too good at Ascot last month; out of sorts at Redcar since though and reverts to 7f with something to prove. |
7/1 |

9th 4 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Caused 33-1 surprise on stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January and rebounded from lesser effort when second over the straight 1m at Ascot (good to firm; winner followed up soon afterwards) last month; considered. |
7/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sprang a 33-1 surprise on stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January, and back to form when second at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; should be thereabouts. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful over 7f at Thirsk (heavy) and Catterick (good to soft) this term; good third off this mark in 1m AW contest most recently; solid contender back on turf. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins on turf this year, at Thirsk (7f, heavy) in April and at Catterick (7f, good to soft) in June; ran well when third of eight in his only previous AW start at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in August last year, but still to fully convince over this far. |
4/1 |
|
5th 11 (3) |
5th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improved form since being gelded and he made it 2-4 this season when justifying favouritism at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago; that was a last-gasp success but he reeled in a progressive rival and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; respected. |

5th 5 (9) |
7th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Close third here (7f, soft) on debut in July and fifth of eight over today's C&D (good) last month in a race that has worked out well; seemingly has his limitations but can give another good account. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
11th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Slowly away and came under early pressure before keeping on for close third on last month's debut here (7f, soft); could have learnt from that experience and the step up to 1m looks the right move; he's one to consider. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Very useful performer whose good-ground form includes a close second in this race last year and respectable sixth to stablemate Boiling Point at Goodwood latest start; has registered the majority of wins on softer, notably in Group 2 in 2024 and Listed grade in 2025 (both 1m); major player. |
5/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Won the Celebration Mile at Goodwood in 2024; creditable third, faring best of the runners who came off steady pace, in Group 2 at Chester (good) upped to 1m2f last time; unexposed at this distance and enters calculations despite carrying a 3lb penalty for Listed success (1m, soft) last autumn. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ended last season with a pair of 1m victories, the latest in a Nottingham Listed event (soft); not totally disgraced when fifth of eight in a Group 3 at Dusseldorf (1m, heavy) on last month's return, but that does indicate his limitations; races beyond an extended 1m for the first time; stable also runs Royal Rhyme. |

7th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Improved effort when winning a 6f maiden at Pontefract last month, his first run without soft in the going description; failed to build on it at York two weeks ago (7f) but this is less demanding and he still has some potential; AW debut. |
10/1 |
|
19th 14 (15) |
24th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Progressive, striking at the third time of asking when leading towards the finish over 6f at Pontefract (good) 15 days ago; could be more to come now handicapping and completes a strong hand in this race for his trainer. |
7/1 |

27th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Finished last on debut in a York maiden (6f, good to firm) in May; much better effort when showing promise at Haydock (7f, soft) next time; perhaps didn't handle Chester latest; cheekpieces swapped for blinkers and no surprise if he bounces back, now returned to 6f on nursery debut. |
10/1 |
|
8th 10 (9) |
2nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Missed the break when last to finish on York debut and then got hampered at the start at Haydock (showed more); unlikely that he's done himself justice to date and he now goes in cheekpieces; the owner also has Infinity Blue. |

10st 11lb |
Maiden stayer on the Flat for Charlie Fellowes; 8,000gns purchase in November; 2.75l third to Pergamon (3lb worse off) at Kelso on second run over hurdles last time (2m, good); each-way chance. |

26th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has shown very little in her five runs and has finished tailed off in both handicaps (7f/1m); has lots to prove now upped to 1m4f and she can only be watched. |
50/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
2nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has had little racing but not yet shown anything, at sprint trips and when upped to 7f on her handicap debut at Chester in August; all to prove on AW debut after layoff. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

Dual AW winner (8.4f/1m) in this grade at start of this year; ran as though something was amiss when back on turf last month but has possibilities if back on song. |
11/1 |
|
11th 11 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Both turf wins have been at 1m on good to firm; has won twice in blinkers on AW this year; although not in top form last twice, these conditions are ideal and could go well on this return to turf. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice at this level earlier in the year, including C&D; finished behind Gloriola when fifth over C&D three weeks ago; should give a good account. |
