5th 4 (8) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Only 2-16 but his third trainer has him in career-best form and didn't get the breaks when a closing fourth at Newcastle last time (1m); hold-up performer who needs a good pace to chase and if getting one he'll be dangerous. |
4/1 |
|
4th 12 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Coaxed back to form by his new trainer, twice placed over C&D before winning at Southwell in February; good second behind First Principle two weeks ago; another 2lb rise tempers enthusiasm slightly. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Resurgent for new yard this year, looking unlucky at Newcastle on penultimate start and handing a 2l beating to runner-up Zryan at Southwell (again 1m, Tapeta) on latest; back up another 4lb but the best of his old form was a little better still and he has to be on the shortlist. |

21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Beat a very useful filly at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and was conceding weight to a promising colt when not quite up to the task at Kempton (7f, AW) where some tail-swishing didn't go unnoticed; remains capable of better for a yard that's won this three times and their winner last year was also a thrice-raced handicap debutante. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
5th Jun 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Near miss at Yarmouth on debut (7f, good) before making all at Windsor 16 days ago (1m, good to firm; front two well clear of the third); penalty against male opponents demands more but she's clearly blessed with a good deal of ability. |
2/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
20th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
350,000gns yearling; half-sister to 1,000 Guineas winner Cachet; 4-1 for her Yarmouth debut over 7f (good) in April where she never settled but to her credit found plenty in the closing stages to go very close against the well-regarded winner; the extra furlong should suit; major player. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Defied penalty in 3yo novice here (good) in 2024; back from a 145-day break and wind surgery when landing Class 2 at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in December and beaten a neck at Abu Dhabi (1m, good) in March; career-high mark but still considered. |
6/1 |
|
16th 5 (16) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Confined to 7f for all his runs and the winner of two novices on good ground; didn't get the best of runs when a 3l third at Goodwood two runs back and then raced freely with no cover at Doncaster; retains potential and probably quick enough for 6f. |
14/1 |
|
13th 11 (5) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won his last two novice events (7f, good) and he's finished third in the last two of his three handicaps; didn't get much luck in a Class 3 event at Goodwood two weeks ago and he still has potential after only six starts; in the mix. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
All four wins have been on the AW at Newcastle, including a hat-trick early last year; back on his last winning mark and he did chase a strong pace last time (in a race he won 12 months earlier) before folding late on; lightly raced on turf. |
8/1 |
|
10th 7 (6) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
He was completing a C&D hat-trick when winning the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 3lb lower mark; not at his best in two runs this year (following a gelding operation) and he needs to raise his game. |
12/1 |
|

7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 1 |

Three 1m wins at Newcastle last year, including the 1m handicap on Good Friday; disappointing finishing effort when sixth behind Witch Hunter back there three weeks ago; needs to raise his game upped in class. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed the odds in Wolverhampton maiden (6f) on stable debut in October, but he's finished down the field in three handicaps since; still lightly raced but he pulled hard over C&D last time and others are preferred. |
14/1 |
|
1 (3) |
28th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed some promise without getting seriously competitive in two starts for Charlie Appleby last year (started as favourite on debut); since gelded and changed hands for 18,000gns in July; returns from a lengthy absence and the market should be a good guide on his debut for this trainer. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improver who has won three of his last seven starts including when back from a break at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last month; up 4lb for that narrow success but he still looks feasibly treated and his first two wins were at this track; respected. |
13/2 |

1st 7 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Wins both came off a 3lb lower mark over 1m round Kempton, latterly in January; there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh, so he looks to have a bit to overcome back from three months off. |
6/1 |
|
6th 4 (2) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Both wins over C&D, the latest two weeks ago off a 3lb lower mark; up in class this time but certainly not handicapped out of things. |

7th 3 (8) |
5th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has shown ability, in particular when just over 2l fourth here (6f, AW) in a fillies' novice event in July; below par on turf here latest and has since had wind surgery; tongue-tie now goes on; initial mark looks fair if she can return to the form of that second start; possible player. |
7/1 |

4th 3 (1) |
5th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Shaped with promise at a massive price on Kempton debut (7f, AW) in June and she built on that with a creditable fourth from off the pace here (6f, AW) last month; needs to find more progress but she has a good pedigree and this step back up in trip looks a positive; not ruled out. |

21st Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made all for a 5l win at Hamilton (1m1f, soft) in August but that was a golden opportunity in a maiden and he flopped back in a handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last month; still lightly raced but that was a major blip last time and he needs to bounce back. |

1st 6 (4) |
13th Aug 2024 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
0-5 and has hung when going close this summer on his first two handicap starts (9.4f/1m2f, AW); needs to prove he can get the job done but he's a leading form contender today; showed promise on turf on debut in May; first-time cheekpieces replace the visor worn the last twice. |

Often pulled hard for James Tate and has regressed for this yard; better expected a month ago, back on turf after a break following wind surgery, but he lacked the pace to get involved over 5f after ducking right at the start; should fare better. |

9th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Made most when winning over 7f at Chelmsford on August's handicap debut; only sixth at Chelmsford off this mark three weeks ago but he pulled hard early and that isn't the run to judge him on; should be quick enough to deal with the return to 6f and Tom Marquand has just his third ride for the stable this year (one was a 40-1 winner); open to further progress. |
5/1 |

6th 8 (3) |
19th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Stepped up on his novice form when making most of the running in a C&D handicap three weeks ago; 3lb rise unlikely to prove beyond him in time but it won't be easy dominating in this more competitive race. |

18th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Hint of ability after getting knocked sideways at the start on Newbury debut (7f, good to soft); well held on AW after but came through strongly to lead near the line on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (extended 1m) in June; up 2lb and this stiffer test back on turf can suit; improve. |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
20th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't built on a fair Newbury debut but was drawn wide on Polytrack last time and this half-sister to multiple AW winner Papa Stour starts handicap life at a sensible level; should do better for a yard operating at a decent strike-rate on the AW this year. |
4/1 |
|
11th 13 (10) |
5th Jun 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Two runs at Newbury this spring, failing to build on April's debut effort when only 11th 19 days ago (the fourth and seventh are due to run in division one); improvement required for the switch to AW. |
