13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Champion 2yo last season, having won the Middle Park and Dewhurst (both on soft ground), and he ran well in the 2,000 Guineas on reappearance; rather a disappointing favourite in the 6f Commonwealth Cup, then couldn't quite get the job done in the 7f Prix Jean Prat having held every chance; drops back from Group 1 level with leading claims on best form. |
13/8 |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won two Group 1s at Newmarket last autumn (6f/7f, soft), namely the Middle Park and the Dewhurst; reappeared with excellent third in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good), where he was outstayed by the first two; unraced on fast ground; has the potential to be a top-class sprinter. |
6/4 |

3rd 8 (2) |
3rd May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Good-ground wins on first two runs before close second in Group 2 Gimcrack (6f, good), then enjoyed stellar autumn here with Group 1 wins in the Middle Park (6f, soft) and Dewhurst (7f, soft), becoming Champion Two-Year-Old; had a racecourse gallop here last month; stayed on well in the Dewhurst which provides optimism he'll see out 1m; a tongue-tie goes on; could have a big say, even though William Buick rides stablemate Ruling Court. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Campaigned mostly over 6f; took well to first-time cheekpieces at Carlisle in May but hasn't gone on from that win, notwithstanding a respectable effort at Royal Ascot; something to prove back up in trip; headgear removed. |
20/1 |

10th 16 (2) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Comfortable win at Carlisle (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time) in May but he has come up short in the Wokingham and Stewards' Cup since; this looks no easier and he will need to be at the top of his game. |
16/1 |
|
16th 19 (18) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Profile is hit and miss but conditions won't faze him; he looked good at Carlisle (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time) in May and brings relatively low mileage but he was only midfield in the Wokingham and is 1lb higher today, so needs a big personal best. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Ran better when 3l off the winner at Doncaster (7f) three weeks ago; 0-5 on the AW but sole placing was on this track; respected. |
4/1 |

7th 10 (10) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
A two-time scorer (including over C&D) for Michael Appleby last summer; well below par for his present handler this season, however, and he failed to beat a rival in 1m Pontefract handicap last time. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Never figured in Class 2 event last time when in deeper waters for hat-trick attempt after Class 4 wins at Epsom; slight drop back in grade removes some pressure, albeit the competition is plentiful. |
20/1 |
|
11th 13 (6) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
He's 3lb out of the handicap for this hat-trick bid, with his two recent wins having come in single-figure fields at Epsom (7f, good to soft); he's back up in grade and on better ground and at a different track, but is obviously in good heart and is not discounted. |
12/1 |

1st 1 (7) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
He took advantage of a reduced mark when beating Silver Trumpet over C&D (good to soft) last Monday; didn't look to be totally handling the camber that day and effectively has a 4lb penalty to shoulder; still respected. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Pulled hard in three 6f runs for Richard Hannon as a 2yo before sold for 14,000gns last summer (gelded); ran right away with a C&D novice on his return from two years off early this month but this is tougher off his revised mark. |
7/4 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Finished placed in two of his three runs for Richard Hannon in 2024, including when third at Newbury (6f, good to firm; RPR 77); been gelded and changed hands for 14,000gns last July; returns after two years off but he needs a close look for new yard. |

29th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Second twice in nurseries (7f and 1m) last year and they were his only visits to Kempton; 33-1, cheekpieces went on when same again behind The Outlaw at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) three weeks ago, slowly away and passing a load of his rivals in the closing stages under 7lb claimer; now has a tongue-tie as well; 0-9 but capable of finishing thereabouts. |

Second twice in nurseries at Kempton (7f and 1m, Polytrack) last year; well beaten at Wolverhampton (8.5f, Tapeta) latest but has bounced back before and may just be better on Polytrack than Tapeta; cheekpieces go on; not ruled out. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success came in June last year for George Boughey when 3lb lower; should be better for first run in nine months when seventh of nine at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month but may need to come down the weights. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (6) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had a couple of wide stalls to deal with over 7f on the AW lately and may yet have more to offer as a sprinter; interesting to see how he goes in the market, back from nine months off, for a yard also responsible for Expert Agent. |

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. |

25th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
7f specialist who has has resumed his progress with wins at Southwell (AW) and Sandown (good to soft) in his last two starts; up another 4lb but he did well to overcome trouble last time when beating a Godolphin rival who was chasing a hat-trick; big player. |

1st 6 (3) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
7f specialist; contested strong handicaps on first three starts this year; justified favouritism in less competitive event at Southwell five weeks ago; nudged back up 3lb but should be in the mix again. |
7/1 |

1st 1 (3) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Again below market expectations last time in first-time cheekpieces (headgear off today); been running in better company, ran well in a Tapeta handicap last summer and it's too soon to write him off down another 2lb. |

Maiden not beaten far a few times here earlier in the year, over trips between 6f-1m; likely to find a few too strong but minor place claims. |

26th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Placed in 7f handicap here last month; ratings don't matter much in claimers, but couldn't entertain 41-rated 4yo all the same. |

Maiden after 15 starts; placed only twice, including on latest when never-nearer third of 12 here (7f) 13 days ago; each-way player if he sees out the extra furlong from unchanged mark. |

9st 0lb |
0-12 for Darryll Holland but she had two close calls over 5f in early spring, at Chelmsford and over C&D; sold for 1,000gns in July; goes without regular tongue-tie (blinkers added latest, now discarded) and entitled to need the run for new yard. |

8st 8lb |
Placed in three consecutive AW handicaps (5f) at start of this year but she was well held at Southwell 11 days ago and that took her record to 0-11; has something to prove again and her turf form lags well behind her best AW efforts; blinkers added. |
