12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won a nursery here at last year's Glorious meeting (7f, good to firm) and back on the scoresheet at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in August; fifth of 13 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) since and this 3yo could build on that latest performance now back up in trip; unraced on slow ground. |

5th 6 (6) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Proved resurgent with success on the July course (1m, good to firm) last time, albeit off 3lb lower and with rider taking off 5lb; this looks a harder task but he's had a light campaign and may have more to offer. |
8/1 |

1st 8 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Down the field (beaten 8l) in the Britannia on his only previous attempt at 1m; this season's form figures are a tad misleading as he's not been running badly, including last time in a deep 7f handicap at Goodwood; only 4lb higher than for his nursery win and Jack Dace takes off 5lb; could be interesting. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Hit the target for the first time when fending off Mercurius Power over C&D (22-1; from 4lb lower) in July; last of eight back on turf at Hamilton (1m1f) subsequently; returning to this track (1-2 on AW) could still prove beneficial. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |

Made it 15th-time lucky at Newcastle (1m, AW) a week ago; now needs to show he can do it back on turf from 4lb higher and also still has stamina to prove. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-12 but very nearly got off the mark at Bath (1m, heavy) last month and again ran well when 2l third of 11 at Kempton (1m, AW) last time; can be in the mix and very testing conditions would boost her claims. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ploughed through deep ground when upped to 1m at Bath this month, finding just a stablemate too strong; 1m2f on similar ground was perhaps a step too far last time; can get back on track if taking to AW. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
All 12 runs have been on turf including three consecutive wins over 7f/1m (good/good to firm) in May and June of last year; right out of form in final three runs last season but he's got back on track this spring and was only beaten a nose at Chester (10.3f) last month; nudged up 2lb but he was clear of the third last time and is still unexposed at this trip; big player. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 12 (6) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 7f/1m on good/good to firm in May and June last year; right out of form in August/September but reappearance fourth at Epsom (8.5f) nine days ago was a step back in the right direction; looks bred for 1m2f (has had one attempt) but may need a career best. |
11/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 7f/1m on good/good to firm across May and June last year; form tailed off markedly from August onwards but he returns just 2lb above his last winning mark; market support would bring him into the picture. |

27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All races at 6f, his fortunes taking a turn for the better when just losing out at Doncaster in July then coming through takingly to win on Southwell AW last month; up 7lb and drawn high but he looks promising. |
3/1 |
|
1st 6 (6) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden but he's edged down the weights and he went desperately close to making the breakthrough at Doncaster last week; 3lb well in and he's a leading player on his Tapeta debut. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
0-6 but he finished a respectable third on handicap debut at Thirsk (6f, good) last month and that form was boosted when the winner followed up off 6lb higher; out of a soft-ground winner and could be dangerous if he can build on that last run. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |

Similar type to Native Warrior, with record 1-9, but has less going for him in terms of overall form; has failed to back up his AW Group 3 effort and performed below market expectations in Chester handicap most recently. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (3) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Faced a tough task as the only 3yo against elders in a Listed race at Salisbury last time and contested three Group races last season after his maiden win; sights are now lowered on handicap debut with a visor (in which he ran well once last season) back on; has only once tried 7f but should stay on pedigree. |
100/30 |
|
5th 8 (8) |
24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Fast-ground maiden win at Glorious Goodwood last summer; improved for the addition of a visor when finishing second of ten in an AW Group 3 last September; less good twice since and he's opposable on balance. |

Encouraging eighth of 20 at Newbury last May (6f, good; 20-1) and then midfield in a tough sales race next time (extended 6f); should stay the extra distance and has races in him; now gelded and has moved to a new yard (same owners). |

15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |

Consistent maiden who again gave his running over C&D last time (Uzincso just behind) without necessarily improving for the step up from 1m2f; one to consider in first-time headgear taking a drop in class. |
5/1 |

11 (11) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |

7/1 |

4th 5 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has been in good form in 6f handicaps this season, including second over C&D in April (good to soft) and third at Carlisle in May (good to firm); won his first race on turf when prevailing at Newbury last week (good to soft); has a penalty but sound chance. |

7/1 |

10th 8 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

First handicap win when he scored at Windsor in August and he'd dropped to the same mark when registering another win over that C&D (also good to firm) 25 days ago; 2lb nudge but everything that's come out of that race has run well subsequently, including wins for the runner-up and ninth, and he's firmly considered in his follow-up bid. |

No match for the progressive Bosphorus Rose at Catterick latest (soft), but didn't fail for stamina on that second 1m4f outing; new career-low mark despite that above-par run, and return to sounder turf is fine. |

23rd Jul 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |

Held up this season; second at Chester (1m2f) in May is easily the best of his five runs this season and he was tailed off at Epsom latest on first attempt at 1m4f; visored last four starts and tongue tied latest, but cheekpieces (tried once as 2yo, below form) return; unraced on softer than good. |

Following an encouraging reappearance fifth at Haydock in April he was beaten a long way on his final two starts for Ed Bethell; however, he's well treated on last season's form and perhaps he'll have been revived by a change of scenery; market check advised on stable debut. |

Seven-race maiden who was beaten a head when 2-7 in a novice at Bath (1m2f, good to soft) last month; third of six in a handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, good) next time but he was below his best at Nottingham (8.5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) eight days ago; steps back up trip with headgear removed for his AW debut. |

Six-race maiden who was turned over at 2-7 in a novice at Bath (1m2f, good to soft) two starts ago, when beaten into second; however, he's since been third of six in a handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, good) and that form gives him leading claims; it's possible first-time cheekpieces will be a plus. |

Both wins have been here over 1m2f, the most recent coming in February off 3lb higher; below his best over 1m3f at Kempton (refused ro settle) in March when last seen and will need them to go a good gallop now that he's dropping back to 1m. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A maiden after 28 starts, with tendencies to start slowly and race too freely, but has made the frame on his last five appearances, including two seconds in this grade at Brighton (6f, good to firm) this summer; fine over 7f and a likely contender once again; has tried various headgear combinations this year; goes in just the refitted cheekpieces today. |

9st 5lb |
Exposed 27-race maiden; runner-up in 6f classified events at Brighton on his last two starts (beaten favourite on each occasion); should run his race but others appeal more for win purposes. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
26-race maiden but did remarkably well to snatch second behind Big Time Rascal over C&D (good to firm) last Tuesday, when breaking awkwardly and pulling hard; clearly not the most straightforward and another change of headgear is tried but should go close if he gets the breaks. |
