20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All five wins have been on turf, rattling up a three-timer in October 2024; it's been downhill since and while cheekpieces replace usual blinkers, he makes little appeal here. |

Finished second here just before Christmas but over 6f; struggled since, including over C&D latest; Sedgemoor is the more obvious of the stable pair. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |
11st 7lb |
Flat winner in Britain has made little impression so far hurdling on likely unsuitably soft/heavy ground; yard in fine form and potential improver back on a sound surface. |

11th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Hooded both starts; green off the bridle on his Salisbury debut (6f, good) but kept on well in the closing stages; 13-2, raced wide when disappointing at Chelmsford (7f, AW) later in August, hanging left; needs to put that way behind him. |

13th 11 (7) |
31st Aug 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Green off the bridle on his Salisbury debut three weeks ago (6f, good) but he was keeping on well in the closing stages and the form has since been boosted by the winner (won the big sales race at York last week) and the fourth since; 7f should suit; strong contender. |

10th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
155,000euros yearling; third foal; half-brother to French Listed-placed 6f 2yo winner Kokachin (RPR 90); dam unraced half-sister to US Graded stakes-placed 6f-8.3f winner Let's Meet In Rio out of half-sister to top-class 7f-1m winner Kingman; starting off in a hood isn't ideal but he looks the part on paper and yard is 4-19 with 2yos here in the last five years. |

50,000gns yearling, by Night Of Thunder; 12th foal; closely related to winners Culturati (6f/7f including 2yo; RPR 107) and Endless Charm (6f AW 2yo; 75), half-sister to six winners including Valiant (1m2f; 100) and Whim (1m 2yo, stayed 1m4f; 98); dam 7f/1m winner (including AW 2yo/Italian Group 3; 107); plenty to take heed of there. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back on form when second in a C&D handicap last month; possibly unsuited by a drop to 6f for the first time in well over two years when seventh at Kempton since; good shout if recapturing the previous C&D form. |
3/1 |
|
7th 7 (8) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Raced over further since handicapping and his sole success came over 1m last May; second of seven at Lingfield last time (7f), well positioned in a race that was steadily run to halfway; on a competitive mark but dropping to 6f is the query. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (8) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Well handicapped on his Newcastle win (1m) last May but he's hard to predict and was beaten 10l at Southwell (7f) last time; that took his record to 1-23 and others are preferred. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Well-bred filly but she finished down the field at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) in sole 2yo run and was same story at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; 18-1) last month; still early days but she needs a transformation on this step up to 1m; yard also runs Ever Hopefull. |
14/1 |

15th Jul 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
6f proved an inadequate test for her on her Yarmouth debut in October but there was some promise in the run; today's extra furlong looks a positive and she's the type to leave that 2yo run well behind her this year. |
8/1 |

7th 13 (5) |
11th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

By Kingman; fourth foal; half-sister to winners Companionship (1m 2yo; RPR 82) and General Idea (7f beach; 76); dam Australian 5f-7f winner (including 2yo/Group 1; 116), sister to Australian 7f/1m Group 2 winner Showtime; market should be revealing on this first run from her leading yard. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-30); beaten a neck over 6f at Southwell (Class 6) in February but less productive in three subsequent appearances (6f-7f), although with mitigating circumstances (saddle slipped) latest. |
11/2 |
|
5th 5 (10) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since August 2024 but he comes here in decent nick, fifth of nine in 7f Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; place prospects off an easing mark. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Effective at 6f and 7f but his sole win was in a Carlisle novice in August 2024; went close off this mark at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month but was never involved when a remote fourth there last time; that was behind a handicap blot but he needs to step up again after that. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made virtually all in big-field York handicap (good to firm) in 2024; C&D (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) and AW (also 7f) winner last summer; lesser efforts followed until a firm step back in the right direction last time and returns to turf from a handy mark; respected. |

4th 2 (10) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner off this mark last summer but has struggled for form on AW this winter, including back from a second wind operation last time; would need to see market support to consider. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with four AW wins (three here over 7f) in recent times for James Owen, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns recently; fine on turf and has a handy draw. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In fine form in 2026, bagging a quickfire C&D hat-trick in March; ran another good race dropped to 6f here when third of 12 last time, bumped start; a player once more back at his ideal trip. |
5/2 |

3rd 5 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three over 7f here of late and looked a bit unlucky not to make it four last Friday, when having Way To Dubai just behind; the drop to 6f shouldn't hurt and his claims are obvious off the same mark. |

26th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
1-13; made all in a Class 6 handicap at Chelmsford (1m2f) in February, but has quickly gone off the boil since, weakening into eighth (of 11) at Wolverhampton last week; needs more. |
12/1 |

8th 10 (11) |
20th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) in February but he's lost his way in last three starts, including a 17l defeat after wind surgery at Leicester two weeks ago; record now stands at 0-12 and he needs to turn things around. |
16/1 |

5th 12 (3) |
4th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Unproven on turf and beaten a long way the last twice but he's had wind surgery since and was in good form on AW in February, including a 1m2f win at Chelmsford; no surprise if he bounces back; headgear switched. |
