5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Campaigned mostly on good/firmer ground; rallied gamely for Listed honours at Goodwood (1m2f) most recently and, assuming another gritty display is on the way, should remain competitive; top on his peak figure, achieved when defying top weight in last year's Cambridgeshire (1m1f). |
5/1 |

1st 3 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Defied top weight in the 2025 Cambridgeshire (1m1f, good to firm) and holds a leading chance provided that smart handicap form is reproduced; hasn't transferred it back to Group level this term but he's respected on ratings and is a similar type to last year's winner of this race (for same connections). |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Can lead and goes well here, as he showed again when defying top-weight in the Cambridgeshire handicap over C&D (good to firm) in September; left the impression the run was just needed and/or the trip stretched him when close fourth of five in Winter Derby at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in February; a bold bid is very much on the cards. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

Landed his second win, in a classified at Lingfield (6f, good) in August, but well held in three handicaps since. |

17th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Made all to win a 6f classified event at Lingfield (good) last month; unplaced in two handicaps since; the ground shouldn't be an issue but he needs more now upped in class. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
15-race maiden but has competitive form on the Flat and in maiden hurdles; beaten 18l when ninth of 20 in a Down Royal handicap three weeks ago, which wasn't that bad a run; this is far less competitive. |
5/1 |

13th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ran much better second time out at Ayr (6f, good to soft) but he's clearly no superstar and nurseries are likely to see him in a better light. |

4yo who is very lightly raced; however, he's yet to threaten and has been soundly beaten in both handicaps, the latest at Newcastle (7f, AW) two months ago when back from some more time off; a tongue-tie goes on. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice over 1m on Tapeta at the start of the year (including here), but has steadily regressed since; may need this after four months off and could probably do with another furlong in any case. |
20/1 |
|
6 (7) |
27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins were over 1m on AW early this year; has some fair form on turf but he's been well held back in this sphere in both runs for current yard; bit to prove again and has work to do back up in trip and grade; another change of headgear. |
10/1 |

6 (1) |
16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins were over this trip with blinkers on the AW in January/February this year; has some fair form on turf, but was well beaten after a break at Redcar last time (1m, good to firm; cheekpieces tried); should come on for that; blinkers back on. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ran well at Doncaster (6f, good to soft; cheekpieces first time) on June's handicap debut; poor run at Redcar one month later, after which he underwent wind surgery; again failed to fire back at Redcar last week and he's got something to prove now switched to AW. |

25th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Low-mileage son of Harry Angel who made a promising return when second at Doncaster (6f) in June only to disappoint when ninth at Redcar following month; back after breathing surgery now and he remains with potential. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Bids for a hat-trick after winning two handicaps at Catterick (7f, good) last month; respected if able to transfer that form back to the AW (0-6). |
5/4 |

1st 6 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
3-23; did too much too soon at Musselburgh (7f; fourth, 6-4 favourite; third has won since) on penultimate start; made amends over C&D ten days ago, beating Crocodile Power (runs in the 3.10pm) by over 2l; that was an apprentices' handicap so he escapes a penalty (is due a 5lb rise); key player. |
9/4 |
|
1st 12 (14) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins last August/September, the first of them over C&D (good), and he was back on song when fourth of 11 at Musselburgh (7f, good) 12 days ago on his second outing of the year; every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |
