10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Perhaps in need of the run when eighth of 13 behind Hucklesbrook at Leicester on return in May and left that behind him when readily seeing off his 13 rivals at Windsor last month (6f, good to firm); that race has thrown up some winners and a 7lb rise looks justified but he is in much deeper this time. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won at Salisbury last June but had a setback after that (source Racing Post stable tour); eighth of 13 on first run for ten months at Leicester (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago and should build on that. |
10/1 |

8th 1 (6) |
26th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Salisbury win last summer has been well advertised since and his subsequent Group 2 effort is likely best overlooked (trapped deep and pulled hard over 7f); since been gelded and still has potential now handicapping back from ten months off. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Slipped and was pulled up at Chester 16 days ago but he'd previously run well when second over 6f at Newcastle; creditable efforts on both his runs at York (7f); yet to prove his effectiveness at 5f but he's not short of speed; not ruled out. |
12/1 |
|
5 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Similar type to stablemate Dubai Bling, having raced mostly over 6f; beat him readily on similar terms at Wolverhampton in December and ran well at Newcastle in latest AW start; has a record of 2212 on turf and may do better still; interesting, assuming he copes with the drop in distance. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Looked a sprinter to follow when scooting clear at Wolverhampton (6f) in December; has had possible excuses for his defeats since (did too much too soon when leading from a wide stall at Kempton last time) and is worth another chance to show he's still on a good mark. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex William Haggas; no win since his juvenile days, but has twice ran well over this C&D, including when fourth (from 4lb higher) last August; no match for stablemate Novello Lad at Doncaster (6f, good to soft; 25-1) recently but that comeback run ought to have him spot on for this. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 12 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Regressed for William Haggas before sold last summer; the handicapper is easing off so he should be easy enough to place in due course but he's done a lot of his racing over 7f and now returns from an absence; Novello Lad looks his trainer's best shout. |
16/1 |
|
8 (13) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On a losing sequence but he's made a positive start for his current handler, sixth of 14 in 6f Pontefract handicap 19 days ago; one for the shortlist eased 2lb here. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who won three handicaps last year, including in a big field at York (1m, good) in September; campaign ended with two lesser runs and off since, but he's just 1lb higher than at York and is not written off. |
40/1 |

10th 12 (11) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner; two C&D wins this summer and went in again in a big field at York (1m, good) under Sam Feilden last month; faded over 1m2f there a fortnight ago but can bounce back returned to shorter; acts on heavy. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 5lb
|
Remains winless but he shaped well in first-time blinkers for his new yard when second of eight in 8.5f handicap at Beverley last month; can go well again in retained headgear if his stamina holds out over this much longer trip. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sold for 9,000gns since his sole start (2m) for Micky Hammond; still a maiden and drops back markedly in trip but has possibilities on the pick of his form for William Knight; wears new headgear on debut for Ed Bethell; market may offer further guidance. |
4/1 |

12 (15) |
14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Mainly consistent but yet to win a race; several decent placed runs from 1m to 1m3.5f this season; goes on any ground; each-way chance. |

Disappointing in similar event over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago, failing to back up her Kempton AW effort; however, related to two winners for her connections and may still do better. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improving in July, making all in good style at Sandown and Leicester (both 1m2f, good); creditable third over C&D (good to soft) last month and better still when beaten a head at Salisbury (1m2f, good) latest; her two runs on soft/heavy were offputting, albeit last season. |
10/1 |

2 (5) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improving in July, making all for wide-margin wins at Sandown and Leicester (both 1m2f, good); soundly beaten next time but she ran well enough in third of 12 at Newbury recently (Approval behind) to think she's still in form, without being obviously ahead of her mark; thereabouts. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Improved to win twice within a week in July (good) and her hat-trick attempt was foiled when favourite but eighth of nine at Newmarket (also 1m2f, good to firm) shortly afterwards; possibly was feeling the effects of three quick starts and no surprise if she bounced back after a break. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Only 1lb lower when winning over 9.4f here in March; hasn't offered a lot since then but clearly capable if rediscovering his touch. |
5/1 |
|
5th 8 (6) |
14th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark (eighth attempt) when landing a Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f, AW) in March but he's not come close to that form in three runs since; has something to prove back on turf and others are more convincing. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
8th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three qualifying runs on turf, when finishing last at around 6f; off the mark at the eighth attempt when landing a Wolverhampton handicap (9.5f) in March and was making inroads from the rear when nearly coming down over that C&D last time; switches back to turf and it would be no surprise if he leaves previous efforts on this surface well behind. |
