24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Well suited by slow ground; attractively handicapped and his last two runs have both been promising, meeting trouble before finishing off strongly at Newcastle last month; high on the list. |
4/1 |
|
4th 9 (10) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
1lb lower than for his Doncaster win 12 months ago (7f, soft); several creditable runs in handicaps this season but he will need to pull out a bit more if he's to come out on top. |
12/1 |
|
8 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Not troubled the judge this season but hasn't been running badly, last time behind Native Warrior on the AW in late June; a triple winner on ground softer than good so connections have no doubt been waiting for some rain; worth considering. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won very easily under Billy Loughnane at Ascot (7f, soft; off 15lb lower) three weeks ago, opening his account at the fifth attempt; bred to do better still, being a brother to his stable's dual Group 1 winner Saffron Beach; one to follow. |

24th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Improvement a possibility now handicapping but he was readily brushed aside by Apotheosis at Lingfield 19 days ago and a 6lb turnaround in the weights may not be enough to reverse the placings. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won a 1m selling handicap (good to firm) at Thirsk when with George Boughey; has gone close a couple of times for this yard, including here (1m, good) 12 months ago when 3lb higher; below par in both starts this season but not written off. |
20/1 |

9th 5 (10) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Went close off this mark over C&D last backend and a good test over this trip is fine; quiet on his turf comeback and only has a selling handicap win to his name but he's quite capable. |
16/1 |
|
8th 10 (8) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained sole win in July 2024 on final start for previous yard; record of 0-9 for current stable doesn't tell the whole story as he's posted a few second-place finishes that represent peak form; capable of going well. |

27th Sep 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Unbeaten in this headgear combination in 11.4f handicaps at Windsor on last three outings; did it comfortably on soft ground before harder work on good to firm while showing improved form again on last two starts; this race, however, is a mighty leap up in class. |
14/1 |

9st 6lb |
Came good at fifth attempt, drawing clear inside final furlong to win quite comfortably over C&D (soft) in first-time cheekpieces a fortnight ago; encounters much faster ground and is 6lb higher today but still features prominently in calculations. |

20th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Couple of costly defeats since handicapping, not seeing it out on heavy ground and then from a wide stall at Nottingham (still ran creditably); he has less to prove than most of these, however, and there won't be any excuses this time. |
7/4 |
|
4th 13 (14) |
5th Jun 2024 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Well held in all four runs, most recently when fifth of seven on handicap debut at Goodwood (1m, heavy) last month; still early days for this well-bred gelding but he needs improvement on this switch to much quicker ground. |

14th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded prior to his handicap debut at Lingfield three weeks ago (1m, AW) and he saw his race out well to reward odds-on backers; that was only a Class 6 event and he's been hit with an 8lb rise but the runner-up won next time and the form has some merit; still capable of better. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
1m4f AW handicap win for the Gosdens and doubled his tally in soft-ground handicap at Yarmouth (1m2f) for William Knight, both in 2024; couldn't recapture that form last year and was sold for 8,000gns in October; starts out for new yard from career-low mark so worth a check of the betting. |
12/1 |

8th 7 (1) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Two wins in 2024, over 1m4f (AW) and 1m2f (soft), but it's been a slog this year and he's gone into reverse since a better effort in third of 11 at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in July; the recent rain is in his favour now back on turf, though, and he's not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
10 (8) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Dual winner last year (C&D first occasion) but there's been an echo of that form only once this season, when third at Windsor on penultimate start; sinking in the weights but C&D tenth on latest dampens enthusiasm. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Endured a fair spell in the doldrums until cheekpieces woke him up when chasing home Siam Fox at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; very well handicapped if that signals a revival in his fortunes. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Thrown in on his 3yo form but 2025 was disappointing and he's struggled in both runs this year; mark continues to fall but he needs a needs a big turnaround in first-time cheekpieces. |
6/1 |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Placed over hurdles this season and was third (albeit no match for wide-margin winner) in Cumberland Plate at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) when back on the Flat for new stable last month; respected off same mark in this easier race. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual Flat winner for Harry Eustace (1m2f, good) who also scored twice over hurdles for Jedd O'Keeffe; became very inconsistent for latter yard, however, and he was picked up for £20,000 one month ago; refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces for this stable debut. |
25/1 |

6th 2 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Failed to win during rather mixed campaign last season but last month's keeping-on second at Newcastle (2m1f, good) was a good effort and the form has been well advertised by the winner since. |

22nd Aug 2024 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two good runs since sent into handicaps but he has some wild form swings in his record and his latest fifth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) was a 9l defeat; looks well handicapped on his best form but he comes with risks attached at this new trip. |
9/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
29th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

Two good runs since sent into handicaps but has also had a couple of shockers and last time when trying 1m4f for the first time was one of them; risky. |
14/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
11th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
0-6 and a bit of a mixed bag since handicapping, finishing third at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) in April and at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW; first-time visor) last month, but well beaten at Newbury in between; needs a bit more. |

4th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Got off the mark at the 21st attempt under an inspired ride by today's rider Matthew Lloyd Slater at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; needs to be kidded along and his resolution is more key than the 4lb rise he now picks up but should go close. |
5/1 |

9 (8) |
17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Some mixed results this year but he wasn't far away over C&D (good to firm) in June and was as close as he's ever been to a first win when beaten a neck at Yarmouth (1m2f) last week; on the premises. |
7/1 |
|
8 (4) |
9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-19; best form for this yard when second in an AW classified in January, when wearing a tongue-tie and cheekpieces; that headgear combination was swapped for a hood when a respectable fourth at Leicester (also 1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; drop back to this trip not an obvious plus. |
