5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won five of his ten starts for Richard Fahey, notably a local Group 3 in Qatar in November 2024; absent for 593 days prior to his second of six at Pontefract (6f, good) in July; struggled in the Stewards' Cup last time but he's edging down the weights and could still come good for this yard; ran well in his one visit to Ascot. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won five of his ten starts for Richard Fahey, notably a local Group 3 in Qatar in November 2024; absent for 593 days and gelded prior to his stable debut at Pontefract (6f, good) last month, a race in which he was caught out wide but plugged on for second behind the thriving easy winner; clearly retains ability but this will demand much more. |
40/1 |

2nd 2 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Useful for Richard Fahey, winning five times the latest of which was a 7f handicap in Qatar in November 2024; makes his debut for his new yard (gelded in the meantime) and, like his stablemate The Strikin Viking, whether he is on a favourable mark remains to be seen; the choice of James Doyle, though, so interesting to see what the market says. |

21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Highly tried after his novice win (5f, AW) last summer and came up short; absent since October (gelded soon after latest start) and others look more persuasive. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
0-7 on the AW between September and April, but he has won his last five races on turf; patiently ridden as usual and led late at Brighton (5f, good to firm) six weeks ago; edging up the weights only slowly and in the mix once more. |
100/30 |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Mark eased after a fruitless spell on the AW and made it four wins on the spin on turf when going in off 5lb lower five weeks ago; currently 2-2 round here and it's hard to find any negatives. |

24th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Out of the frame in first three starts, but was beaten less than 3l into fifth of nine at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; open to improvement on nursery debut, but it will be needed. |

Suffered some interference when down the field here last week but debatable what difference it made; stable probably has a better chance with Kings Merchant. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won four times in the first half of 2026 but she has come up short in Class 4 events on her last two starts; 2-3 over C&D but perhaps a shade high in the weights for now. |
14/1 |

9th 1 (13) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins this season; not ideally positioned when down the field over C&D 13 days ago but, even so, an improved effort will be needed to defy this mark. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Arrives on the crest of a wave having won four of her last five starts; a 4lb rise for her small-field Class 5 win at Ripon last month could just find her out here, though. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won three times over 5f in 2025; got back on track in first-time cheekpieces with fourth of ten in 6f Chester handicap in June; no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark here with headgear retained. |
9/1 |

4th 4 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Acts on good to soft and softer but his best form is at 5f and latest last of six at Haydock needs forgiving; cheekpieces go on after that; nothing wrong with this mark if they do have a positive effect, however. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |

Still to register a victory but he arrives in good nick, third of five in 1m4f Newcastle handicap eight days ago; shortlisted off the same mark. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
24th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Maiden; not beaten too far when fifth of ten in 1m2f classified here in August and stamina for 1m4f never had a chance to be tested at Musselburgh since, as he was hampered when starting to move forward; likely needs more than he's shown so far, though. |
