29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Still 3lb lower than when second of eight at Pontefract (6f, good) last month, but losing run up to 15 and he does seem best at shorter. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent sort who was soundly beaten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and his losing run continues; however, he kept on well for second at Pontefract (6f, good) two starts ago and is not written off. |
15/2 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
It's now 13 starts since his last success but he was back on track when finishing second in 6f Pontefract handicap 11 days ago; well in the mix eased 1lb. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Capable of being involved but is by no means certain to shine in this spring reappearance, having shown his best handicap form in autumn months; the market signals may offer further guidance. |
16/1 |
|
10 (7) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on heavy ground; prevailed by a neck at Ripon (6f, good) most recently, building on his third-place finish in the Ayr Silver Cup and taking record to 4-21; this in-form contender is one for the shortlist. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

Holds modest claims on his 7f efforts and consequently needs improvement for this drop in distance. |

50,000euros yearling; sixth foal; half-brother to winners Shobrom (Qatar 5f/6f; RPR 100) and Rhythm (5f/6f including 2yo/AW; 82); dam placed 7f 2yo (48), sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Prolific; already gelded; the market can guide. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look. |
12/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All four wins have been here but over 6f; he appears to stay 7f but had a shocker over C&D last time; that was too bad to be true in fairness. |
7/1 |
|
11th 9 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All four wins over 6f here, gaining the latest when leading late on 15 days ago; placed a few times at 7f and ought to remain very competitive off only 2lb higher. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Front-runner who won when upped to 1m2f at York (good) in July and followed up in a big field there (1m2f, good to firm) at the Ebor meeting; has also won here and shown promise on soft ground; unexposed at today's trip and has gone up just 3lb for last time; can make another bold bid. |
11/2 |
|
1st 8 (8) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Back to form with a bang when seeing off his eight rivals over C&D (good) six weeks ago, albeit benefitting from a fine front-running ride from Danny Tudhope, poaching a clear early lead which he never looked like relinquishing; doubtful he'll be allowed as much rope this time. |
16/1 |
|
2 (2) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Won last three races last season, all over 1m on good ground; not hit top form so far this term; tries this trip for first time. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
From major yard but may be one for the longer term, having shown no immediate promise at York (6f, soft; never figured) last week. |
13/2 |
|
11th 2 (15) |
13th Oct 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
78,000gns foal; by Kodiac and the first foal of a maiden daughter of half-sister to 7f-1m Group 1 winner Sky Lantern; one of two newcomers for the yard; market instructive. |

9th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
No progress in sprint races on very slow turf but gives the impression this sharper test will suit on AW/handicap debut now back at 5f; open to improvement in the new scenario and has possibilities. |
8/1 |
|
7th 14 (9) |
20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Both starts over 5f; unplaced favourite at Beverley (soft) latest but ties in with The Bobster on that effort; however, doesn't shape as if she's crying out for 6f yet. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the 20th attempt when battling well to justify support at Musselburgh (7f, good) two weeks ago; up 4lb but he beat a clear second last time and his confidence could be boosted after that success; big player again with cheekpieces added. |
5/1 |
|
1st 8 (11) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Out the back on first four outings for Lawrence Mullaney but big step back in the right direction when second in 7f Southwell classified event seven weeks ago, pulling clear with one who has won and finished a close second in two handicap starts since; his last 11 outings have been on AW but was runner-up over C&D (good) in August 2024; bold show likely if a wide stall isn't too much of an inconvenience. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 12 (7) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A case can be made on 2025 best, including a C&D second last March, but he has finished out the back in four runs for new trainer this winter. |

7th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Record is just 1-11 but he ran encouragingly in first-time blinkers at Newcastle (AW) most recently; interesting in the retained headgear. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Thrice-raced filly whose form suggests she'll find easier opportunities when switched to handicaps; opposed. |
33/1 |
|
7th 1 (8) |
9th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Easy to back and comfortably held in two runs over 7f; needs to brush things up at the stalls down to 6f and may be one for handicaps after this. |
25/1 |
|
6th 1 (5) |
26th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
22-1 and just minor promise in a 7f fillies' novice at Ayr seven weeks ago (good to soft); bred to do better but such progress is a necessity. |

25th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark on AW debut when landing a C&D handicap in September; creditable fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) next time and he had an excuse in tough conditions at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) in final run in the autumn; that was a major blip but he's had a break since and could bounce back with a big run on his return. |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark on his first go on the AW in 1m2f handicap at Newcastle last month; creditable fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) latest and he probably acts on soft; seriously considered in this weak race. |
