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. |

3rd 7 (11) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Heavy ground was no help to him in the Ayr Gold Cup last time but he's been a stalwart in highly competitive 6f handicaps this year; sole run here was 7f but he wouldn't be an entirely forlorn hope if back to his best. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
C&D win as a 2yo; took a while for things to fall his way this year but his win at York (6f, good to firm) in July was followed by a second-place finish in the Stewards' Cup; ran two fine races at York's Ebor meeting (not ideally drawn on first occasion) but he clearly needs more to defy this mark; talented apprentice's 5lb claim is helpful. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (13) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Form figures of 22216 at York; Wednesday's sixth can be upgraded as he was comfortably on top of those drawn high; returning to 6f should suit and he is proven on slow ground, for all that his best efforts have been on good to firm; high on the list. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
1-21 (7f, good); inconsistent but best effort this season would give him claims from this mark and he was competitive at Nottingham (6f, good) latest; not written off. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 9 (10) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win in 7f novice as a 2yo; he has at least dropped a few pounds since last autumn and it should be close with Ingleby Archie on C&D form (good) in June; not so good on AW since though and more needed. |
16/1 |
|
10th 6 (10) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Still to win a handicap and has had plenty of chances for this yard; fair effort over C&D last time (behind Hectic) and is 2lb lower but he's some way down the pecking order. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to score this season but back in very good form since fitted with cheekpieces, runner-up in big-field handicaps at York (1m) and Doncaster (1m2f) last two runs; up 3lb but he can go very well again in retained headgear. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 11 (7) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Often front-runner whose three wins last year included two at this track over 1m; below his best over this C&D last month but a good second of 19 in first-time cheekpieces at York (1m, good to soft) five days ago; has form over this trip but others may see it out stronger. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 16 (8) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made all in this last year and he's one to watch in the betting in first-time cheekpieces off an 8lb lower mark; however, following an encouraging reappearance at Newmarket in May he's failed to shine on his three starts since and needs to turn things around. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
11st 3lb |
Had been a fairly longstanding maiden but he was given an enterprising ride by Neil Biker at Ripon (1m3f) 17 days ago and it paid off on final start for Edward Bethell; unlikely to be given as much rope this time back with a former trainer but he comes here in good heart. |
7/2 |

1st 9 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Runner-up at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) on stable debut in April, but he's not come close to that form in three runs since and his overall record is now 0-23; opposable in another switch of headgear. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
22-race maiden (placed at up to 11.5f) whose better efforts over the past 12 months would give him each-way claims; needs to bounce back after a couple of below-par AW efforts. |

26th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

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. |

Six-race maiden who has yet to be placed; got closer to the target when a respectable fifth in Salisbury nursery (1m; tongue-tie added) last time but he needs to find more at this new trip. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Front-runner who rallied well when beating Aphrodite Spirit at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month but she came up short when favourite in a seller at Goodwood (1m3f, soft) last time; needs to step up again after that and others are preferred. |
16/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |

Has been running well in 1m2f/1m4f handicaps and showed a willing attitude to edge home on the AW last Wednesday; solid chance, though wouldn't be certain to appreciate softening ground. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

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. |
