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. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Finished strongly and nearly got up from a difficult position in 5f contest at York (good) last month; respectable eighth of 28 when stepped back up to 7f for the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (good to firm) last week; enters calculations. |
10/1 |
|
31 (25) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb
|
Reserve; versatile trip-wise and although most of his best form is on the AW he was only just foiled in a competitive 5f race at York (good) in May; this is altogether more difficult; due to run in the 7f Buckingham Palace on Thursday. |
33/1 |
|
8th 23 (13) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Finished strongly from a difficult position in 5f contest at York last time and nearly got up, looking in need of a return to further; however, he may find this stiff 7f too much of a stretch and still needs to prove he can win over distances other than 6f. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Reappeared with a good second at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) last month but he's not easy to predict and was a well-held fifth at Ripon last time; that took his record to 1-16 and others are more convincing. |
9/1 |
|
5th 8 (9) |
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. |

14th 6 (1) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Prominent racer (can front run) who won three times last year, twice at Doncaster (1m) and at York (1m, good); reappeared from 203 days off with a solid effort at Newmarket (1m, good) last month but he was withdrawn after becoming upset in the stalls at Doncaster on his last intended start. |
15/2 |
|
7 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who won twice over C&D last summer and he defied this mark when beating 15 rivals at York last September; reappeared with a creditable fourth at Newmarket last month and he's a big player if he can build on that. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Second five times at up to 1m2f, including in first blinkers at Beverley in April on yard debut; heavy defeat over 1m4f four weeks ago sees a visor return today; 0-21 tally (0-5 on AW) is probably the bottom line. |
16/1 |
|
10th 10 |
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. |

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. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who's well suited by a stiff 1m2f, winning twice last summer and going close over C&D in the autumn off tonight's mark; soon gave way once headed on her recent AW comeback from eight months off and needs to improve a lot on that. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (8) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Twice made all on turf (1m2f, good) last July but has been off for eight months and was well held in one previous go on the AW (Tapeta), while she remains 8lb above her last winning mark; market useful; stable also runs Crystal Mariner. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
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. |

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. |
