13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Picked up for 4,000gns from the Hannon yard last autumn after breaking a blood-vessel for the second time in four runs; not much luck and maybe fresh is the time to catch him, going in a first-time hood, but the stiff 6f is a concern (most starts at 5f). |

2nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Travelled well but found little for pressure here 11 days ago (5f, good); that was after three months off and he lurks on a dangerous mark; fine on soft. |

Quirky customer who signalled a return to form when keeping-on third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) when last seen in May; on a dangerous mark. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
In-form 5yo; overcame trouble to win at Musselburgh (5f, soft) in April and was a creditable fourth in a big field here (6f, good) ten days ago; should be thereabouts again off an unchanged mark. |
10/1 |

4th 9 (3) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Mixed fortunes since winning the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot in 2024 (good to firm); got back on track to win at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last month despite being denied a clear run; his peak performances have come at 5f but he was a C&D winner in his 2yo season; respected up just 3lb for last time. |
14/1 |

1st 6 (14) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Enjoyed his finest hour when winning the 5f 3yo handicap at Royal Ascot in 2024; seen only twice last season and down the field on both his AW outings this term, but he met trouble last time and is probably in much better form than his finishing position suggests; undoubtedly well handicapped again and this C&D winner is interesting with a good-value claimer booked. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
The winner of three of his 34 starts for Richard Fahey, the latest off this mark at Newcastle in January (6f); sold for 19,000gns last month; capable at this level and the betting should be revealing starting out for Adam Kirby. |
9/2 |

4th 2 (14) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning here (6f, AW) in January but he has a mixed record since and was only sixth of nine at Chelmsford last month; this return to 7f is no problem but he needs to get back in the groove. |

14th Oct 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Built upon the promise of his debut fourth over C&D (good) when winning readily at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) last month; today's opponents are considerably tougher but this 450,000gns yearling buy could have plenty more left in the tank and he's not discounted. |

1st 3 (7) |
21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
20-1, recovered from slow start when promising fourth of seven on debut in York novice (6f, good) 11 days ago; this 450,000gns yearling has an attractive pedigree and is open to improvement; he's one to consider. |
11/4 |

4th 3 (5) |
10th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

450,000gns yearling; Kingman half-brother to five winners, notably Star Terms (7f-1m4f including 2yo/Listed); dam 5f/6f 2yo winner (including the Lowther here); one of two interesting newcomers in the field. |

15th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice this year, over 7.5f at Beverley (soft) and 1m at Carlisle (good); heavy defeats the last twice but he has his sights lowered here with cheekpieces added. |

13th Aug 2024 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Two front-running wins this year (7.4f/1m, soft/good) and close third here (8.3f, good to soft) two starts ago; not quite at his best at Redcar most recently but he lost a shoe and remains of interest. |

13th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Useful pedigree and although he's been unplaced in his three runs in 6f turf races, he has shown clear signs of ability, notably when travelling strongly at Newbury (heavy) three weeks ago; faces a more realistic assignment on this nursery debut and there could be plenty of improvement in him. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has probably performed to a similar level in both runs (6f), beaten in the region of 5l at Salisbury (good to soft) and York (good); not everything went his way last time, and might not have to find all that much to be involved. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (3) |
10th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Showed promise in similar event at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) nine days ago, keeping on for fifth of 11; open to improvement with that debut experience under his belt; could go well. |

28th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
100,000gns yearling; showed some early dash before weakening to finish last of the seven over this far at York (good) 18 days ago; entitled to last longer this time. |

|
7th 6 (4) |
10th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

100,000gns yearling; Showcasing half-brother to five winners, notably Sand Zabeel (1m-1m3f including 2yo/Italian Oaks); dam 1m-1m2f winner (including Listed); notable connections; market support should be heeded. |
