13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Suited by ground softer than good; made all in the 2024 German 2,000 Guineas but struggled in French Group 1 next time; best to assume he'll need the outing on return from 14-month absence, unless the market suggests otherwise. |

3rd May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Ffos Las maiden winner (7.4f, soft) last August who twice made the frame at Group 3 level before excelling himself when second of seven in the Group 1 Kameko Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy) in October; slightly disappointing when only third of seven in a Deauville Group 3 (7f, heavy) last month, but may have had an excuse and this looks a good opportunity. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored twice (at 1m4f/1m6f) for William Muir and Chris Grassick in summer of 2024; very lightly raced and has shown little since for his current yard though, hooded when last of seven in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap 27 days ago; Polytrack debutant. |
20/1 |

7th 2 (6) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won turf handicaps over 1m4f and 1m6f for William Muir/Chris Grassick in 2024; only seen twice for this stable and finished tailed off on both occasions (hurdles last February/1m4f here last month); hooded and dropped in trip today; risky despite a tumbling handicap mark. |
25/1 |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |

Absent and had wind surgery since a heavy defeat last February on stable/hurdles debut; now goes in tongue-tie; all of his Flat form is on turf; the betting may help to ascertain expectations. |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
All three 2yo starts were on softer than good, winner of novice contests at Ffos Las (7.3f) and Nottingham (8.3f); completed his hat-trick in six-runner handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW) ten weeks ago, never in doubt at 8-11 after he quickened on 2f out; up 7lb and on probably different ground but he's been winning in some style and has more to give. |

9st 11lb |
Winner of novice contests at Ffos Las (7.3f) and Nottingham (under penalty in quite valuable race over 8.3f) at two; gelded since; doesn't look short of speed but should stay this far; the one to beat. |

9st 6lb |
Consistent maiden who was second for the fifth time in a row at Chester (10.5f, good) on penultimate start; fared less well on handicap debut when fourth of five back there (10.5f, good to soft) since and steps up in distance here. |

27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Back to the mark of November's Kempton nursery win (7f), having not kicked on; didn't stay on sole 7f turf run last summer (soft), but has signalled at least once since that it's worth another go; blinkers added. |
4/1 |

7f AW scorer last term for previous yard; not in quite the same form at Windsor (6f, good) on stable/seasonal debut but may fare better with that outing under his belt. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won over this trip at Newmarket last autumn for Mick Appleby but three turf runs for current yard have been well below par; bit to prove. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Reappeared for new yard with a near-miss at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but he's struggled at 50-1 back on turf in last two runs; got hampered early on at Ascot last time but he's hard to predict and needs to bounce back near best. |

9th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Close third of five on stable/hurdle debut at Hexham (soft) in June but that form has not worked out well and he's been soundly beaten twice since (latterly behind Torrent at Uttoxeter). |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Got back on song for his new yard with third of ten in 1m Chepstow handicap 23 days ago; no forlorn hope off an easing mark. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has done most racing, and gained all his wins, in sprints, apparently not seeing it out in a few runs over 7f; having a first run in a 0-55 but has regressed this year and stamina would have to be a concern. |
10/1 |

8th 6 (10) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

A fair 6f scorer for Tony Carroll but largely below par this season for his present handler, 13th of 14 in 6f Windsor handicap two weeks ago; others are preferred. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
He ran his best race for some time when second of five in a handicap over C&D (good to firm) last week; fair fourth at Bath on Wednesday but others appeal more for win purposes. |
16/1 |
|
4th 7 (1) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has largely struggled since landing two wins (including C&D on firm) in the summer of 2024 but did take a step back in the right direction when second of five at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) last Wednesday; claims if he can back that up. |
5/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
