2nd 3 (11) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on final two runs last year (1m, AW) and same story on his three outings this spring (6f, AW/good/good to firm); arrives with something to prove but he's 5lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (soft) last October and the return to slow ground could facilitate a major revival. |

7th 8 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Patchy overall record; didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages at Newbury two weeks ago but he was beaten over 5l at the finish; others are stronger. |

8th 3 (7) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Heavy defeats on his last three starts, including his Kempton reappearance three weeks ago; he's on a fair mark on the pick of his efforts though and this track does seem to suit him well; Tom Marquand is a notable booking for the stable (his nine rides for Stan Moore have yielded two wins, a second, three thirds and two fourths); lively outsider. |

Heavy-ground winner as a 2yo; placed twice (5f/7f, good/good to firm) in the spring and faced a stiffer task in Class 3 since; fresh contender who could go well back down in trip/grade. |

Inconsistent since 2yo seller win and has been absent since a dismal effort in spring; best watched on debut for new yard, unless the market speaks positively. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Recorded his first AW win when prevailing at Newcastle in March but held since and others are preferred. |
7/1 |
|
9th 4 (7) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Kept on well to justify favouritism over C&D (from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; beaten - fifth, hung left under pressure - in a stronger Class 4 at Nottingham subsequently; might have to settle for minor honours on AW return. |
5/1 |
|
5th 13 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won at Windsor (1m, good) last spring and he doubled his tally when justifying favouritism at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March; that was a narrow success but he's only 3lb higher and is respected after another break. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win at 7f on turf as 2yo but showed bright early speed back at 5f when losing out late over C&D in March; others might press for the lead here but he's on the same reduced mark; can go well from rail draw. |
7/2 |

2nd 7 (4) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dropped 15lb in five runs for new trainer since September; looks quick enough to cope with the shorter trip and Ryan Kavanagh takes off a valuable 5lb; better can be expected today. |

7th 3 (3) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Record is just 1-11 and his best form is on AW; inconsistent sort to boot and looks far from certain to take advantage of lower mark back on turf. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Chelmsford nursery winner (7f, Polytrack) for Amy Murphy late last year and ran his best race of this campaign when beaten less than a length into third of ten at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last month; possible a stiffer test may suit him better, but still shortlisted from the same mark. |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Market mover when coming home strongly to win on nursery debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) and it was a similar story here two weeks ago, getting up late on (good); ready for a mile and still learning by the looks, so good chance of a hat-trick. |

15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent maiden who again gave his running over C&D last time (Uzincso just behind) without necessarily improving for the step up from 1m2f; one to consider in first-time headgear taking a drop in class. |
5/1 |

11 (11) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |

Seven-race maiden on turf; only a modest third over 1m2f last time, nonetheless earning his first piece of placed form; possibilities off a reduced mark, provided he takes well to AW. |
11/2 |

19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

More exposed than several of today's field; ran a fair race when sixth of 13 at Goodwood last time on second handicap start on second run over this trip (good; 25-1); each-way chance. |

Hinted at ability in the Brocklesby but subsequent form is poor and he has been failing to settle, which is another concern now upped to 7f; others preferred. |

0-13 under rules; some promise when first handicapping for Eve Johnson Houghton, but has gone badly the wrong way; drops significantly in trip with cheekpieces given a go this time. |
33/1 |

10th 10 (8) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Best run came when third of 12 here (7f) in September 2024 but has been in the doldrums since signing off for Eve Johnson Houghton later that year; impossible to fancy despite a new headgear combination. |

Improved for the step up to 1m2f when winning final 2yo start on AW (first-time cheekpieces); modest Tapeta form this year, however, and this will be his first turf run since soundly beaten on debut; now visored. |

Cheekpieces had a positive effect when he closed out last season with a Chelmsford win off 3lb lower; made a poor C&D comeback behind Romantic Affair five weeks ago, however. |
