13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Debut scorer at Ffos Las (7f) in August and advanced his form when last of three in 1m Salisbury conditions event on his return; goes up in trip for his handicap debut here and needs considering. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Created pretty good impression when clearcut winner of Ffos Las maiden (7.3f, soft) on debut last August but finished of eight last when upped to Listed level the following month and we haven't seen him again since; stable has much stronger claims with Stanhope Gardens. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
7f novice winner for previous yard; resurgent over 6f at Windsor (third start for new yard) most recently, while shaping as if this step back up in trip will suit; could go well off a reduced mark. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Not solid on his handicap form; failed to beat a rival in big-field event at Newmarket (second run for new yard) most recently; drop back in grade may help but there are signs that he's regressing. |
20/1 |

18th 16 (7) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
First-time blinkers when making all for easy win in Epsom novice (7f, soft) in September 2024; encouraging return from a year's absence the following October but he left Ralph Beckett after a moderate effort next time; weak in the market for his stable debut when it all went wrong at the start 19 days ago. |

120,000euros breeze-up purchase in May; promising third in Ffos Las maiden (7.4f, soft) seven weeks ago; leading player provided he stays this longer trip (mixed messages in pedigree). |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign in good form over the extended 7f at Ffos Las, recording an account-opening win prior to a respectable effort; the question is whether he can transfer the ability to AW on reappearance. |
12/1 |

9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His two best efforts have come here, the latest when narrowly getting off the mark over C&D (good) five weeks ago (third has won since); has run well on soft ground and shortlisted up 3lb. |

3yo who has shown ability but he's been well beaten on his last three starts (two of them handicaps) and is hard to fancy. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Improved for the switch to nurseries for Ed Walker last autumn, winning at Yarmouth before a near miss at Southwell (both 1m); back down in class today but his two runs for this yard have seen him well beaten; tongue-tie and cheekpieces make their debut. |
14/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Handicap debut (1m, good to soft) as 2yo was his only win from seven starts for Ed Walker, also beaten a nose on next start; ran as though something was amiss in January and faded out of it when starting off for new yard in February, performances which he needs to leave well behind him. |

Showed some ability with his sixth-place finish over an extended 7f on soft ground at Ffos Las, while leaving the impression this sharper scenario will suit; open to improvement. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile but he won at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in March and was a strong-finishing second at Pontefract (1m, good) last Wednesday; on same mark here and he's a key player on this step back up in trip. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 1 (9) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all on good to firm at Newbury (1m; first-time cheekpieces, kept since) in July and doubled his tally when picking up AW handicap (1m2f) in March; raced freely when underwhelming on last two starts but drops in grade and has already dipped below his last winning mark. |
12/1 |

11th 10 (4) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Got his head back in front off this mark on AW at Newcastle (1m2f) last month; not beaten far back there next time and this is a bit easier than the Class 4 he contested at Wolverhampton latest. |

19th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Soundly beaten in all three qualifying races this summer (7f-7.3f) but he's bred to be a cut above this grade; cheekpieces fitted and Oisin Murphy enlisted for nursery debut; might be the answer. |
5/1 |

11th 6 (1) |
21st Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Well held at biggish prices in both his runs, most recently when eighth of ten at Ffos Las (behind Fernando) 15 days ago; has plenty to find here and nurseries will be more suitable. |

23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the 18th attempt with a last-gasp success in a 0-50 classified race over C&D last month; no impact back in a handicap here ten days later but he was hampered early on and still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form; not ruled out. |

6th 8 (2) |
16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won on the nod in C&D classified contest ten days ago, belatedly opening his account; hit with a 9lb rise in his mark but may remain competitive, provided that form is backed up. |

20th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Southwell novice winner (1m, AW) last November and, having been gelded, wasn't beaten far into fifth of 12 on last month's Sandown return/handicap debut (1m, good) when not enjoying a clear run; better is expected with cheekpieces given a go. |

29th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Failed to match market expectations in his two turf races last August (heavy/good to firm); much better in both AW novices at Southwell (1m) late last year, winning on first occasion; gelded since; needs better still on this return to turf for handicap debut but they usually run well from this yard when Oisin Murphy is booked. |
