14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Third of 22 in 3yo handicap over C&D (good to firm) at this meeting 12 months ago and progressive on AW since; soft ground may not have suited at Musselburgh last time and he's had wind surgery since; however, a career best is needed today and he has to prove he's just as good on turf as AW. |
16/1 |

11th 2 (1) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive and posted another personal best when third at Southwell (5f, AW) on reappearance; his turf form is at a lower level but he still won at Thirsk last spring and finished third in a big field at York's Dante meeting (both 5f, good to firm); race-fit and should be in the thick of things again if a low draw doesn't count against him. |
5/1 |

3rd 6 (1) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer; thumped ten rivals in a C&D handicap last July and ran well off his revised mark (1lb lower today) back here in September; found the Group 1 Abbaye too hot to handle when last seen in October; won after a break last spring but he was well ahead of his mark then and that probably isn't the case now. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Losing run stands at 14; twice a runner-up at Kempton over the winter (6f) but he hasn't beaten many rivals in five starts since April; return to 5f, drop in class and latest change of headgear not enough to tempt. |
25/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark in 6f novice at Salisbury as 2yo but he's had some seriously poor results either side of wind surgery, failing to beat a rival on last four starts; visor replaces cheekpieces; hard to see the light. |
20/1 |
|
10 (5) |
12th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won 6f turf novice as 2yo; finished placed in three of first four AW starts for this yard but he's been through difficult times since the spring, including when back from wind surgery latest; now in cheekpieces; risky. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Record of 4-11 on the AW and better than ever when a 33-1 third over 1m at Southwell last time out; dual course winner who is well drawn to adopt his prominent style of racing; considered. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 10 (6) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner who prevailed narrowly over 1m at Lingfield (fourth career win) on New Year's Eve; 7f perhaps too sharp here last time but that was still disappointing given he was beaten 8l; all handicap wins at Class 4 level and this is a Class 3. |

13th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Notably strong in the betting given she was drawn widest on her return to action three weeks ago and she never featured having been poorly positioned throughout (finished behind three of these); stable has been quiet and others look safer. |

21st Nov 2024 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Not devoid of promise in her first three starts; well beaten on nursery debut at Sandown (5f, good to firm) latest; this is weaker back from a break but she has the widest stall to negotiate. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Looked one to follow when producing a dominant display at Lingfield in June (6f, AW; second handicap run); only third behind H Key Lails over C&D next time but ran well for third at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; not seen to best effect on his stable debut last month but he's not fully exposed and could have a bigger run in him; stable form is hard to fault. |
6/1 |
|
13 (13) |
12th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Clear winner of first AW handicap (6f) here then finished a close third over 7f at Chelmsford under a penalty before keeping on quite nicely when third of eight at Windsor (6f) in June; left George Boughey for 42,000gns since; now tongue tied; interesting for new yard. |
10/1 |

8 (6) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Fluffed the start on his handicap debut at Nottingham last month (blindfold issues) but showed himself to be well ahead of his opening mark with a comfortable win at Lingfield three weeks ago (6f, AW); outstayed over 7f at Chelmsford one week later; still capable of better and his useful brother Salvuccio went well on fast turf. |

Failed to progress over sprint trips; close second (off just 1lb lower) upped to 1m at Musselburgh most recently, doing best work at finish; possibilities kept to this distance. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Shaped well when second at Hamilton on debut (5f, soft) but hasn't progressed and was well beaten on nursery debut at York last time (6f, good to soft); this is easier but has a bit to prove. |
14/1 |
|
8 (8) |
7th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Ability at a modest level on first three starts but no show from high draw on nursery debut at York last time; down 3lb and back in trip but needs to raise game to win. |
10/1 |
|
12th 8 (14) |
13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Kept on for encouraging second of five on debut at Hamilton (5f, soft) in May; unable to build on that the next twice (6f/5f, good/AW) but could be on a handy opening mark if rediscovering his initial promise. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden who's had his moments at the start and often pulled hard; reared as the stalls opened on his turf comeback and unseated, so can only be considered risky in first-time blinkers. |
8/1 |
|
4 (13) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Still a maiden after 13 starts but he was generally consistent in sprint handicaps last year; returns after five months off but he's well handicapped on his best form and needs a close look back on turf. |
13/2 |
|
2 (3) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He had gelding and wind operations prior to his stable debut in June; has run consistently in defeat in his four starts for Michael Keady but he will need to raise his game a notch to record a first win; cheekpieces now return. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fair third of nine in a 0-55 handicap at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) on his penultimate start, but didn't back that up in a similar race to this there 13 days later and now 0-14; his stamina isn't assured either. |
12/1 |

7th 2 (1) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
13-race maiden; fair C&D third on latest start and has an each-way chance on that form. |
