9st 3lb |
The booking of Ryan Moore heightened interest at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) and he went off at 9-2, but after showing up well his inexperience got the better of him; can win races for sure but this is unlikely to be one of them. |

100,000euros foal, 135,000euros yearling; brother to 6f 2yo winner King X J; dam placed 7f 2yo/1m2f, half-sister to useful 6f/7f winner Golden Steps; booking of Ryan Moore (good strike-rate for the stable) is a big plus; interesting. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Built on an eye-catching reappearance (over this C&D) when justifying strong support in handicap at Windsor (5f, good) in May; only fourth to Washington Heights in Listed event at Carlisle next time but has had a break since and may well bounce back; has real possibilities if he does. |

4th 1 (5) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Classy sprinter who built on an eye-catching reappearance when justifying strong support in handicap at Windsor (5f, good) 12 days ago; found only one too good in French Listed event last summer and looks a strong contender back in this grade. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Chester (5f, good) last May and he's run some good races in big fields since including at York four days ago; finished eighth of 21 in that race but he didn't get much luck and that was an eye-catching effort after 235 days off; interesting contender. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Versatile as regards ground; perhaps didn't take to visor in the Britannia at this meeting 12 months ago; creditable fourth in major handicap last October when bidding for a C&D double; possibilities back in this scenario, especially as latest effort (third at York) represented a return to form. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive 3yo last season (on various ground), winning a big-field 1m handicap at Ascot in September; reappeared with encouraging run in the Lincoln at Doncaster and he's not written off, but he was somewhat underwhelming in the Spring Cup at Newbury last time when favourite. |
11/2 |
|
13th 9 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Raced too freely in the Lincoln and ended up shaping nicely in a never-nearer ninth; had ended 2025 on a high with a smooth success at Ascot (1m, soft) and a fine fourth in the Balmoral Handicap (good) over the same C&D; gets on really well with Oisin Murphy and he's back in the saddle today; still unexposed and now looks ready to strike. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive last year and reappeared with a win on stable debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) in May; respectable fourth at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) since and this 4yo may yet have more to offer; ran well in 2024 on sole previous encounter with Tapeta. |

4th 2 (11) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Reappeared after 208 days off with a win on his stable debut at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last month; up 4lb but he held off an odds-on rival last time and hit a personal best with that success; should be in the thick of things again and he won't mind what the weather does. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer who won at Redcar (5f, good to firm) and Goodwood (5f, heavy) last summer, but he was around 5l behind Kinswoman at Haydock (5f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in October on final start for Alice Haynes; watch the betting on debut for new trainer. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won two AW races for Andrew Balding whom he left for 60,000gns; he's not always looked entirely straightforward but he was less than 2l away last time at Newmarket (7f, good) after being in rear at one point; Tom Marquand takes over now; respected. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Picked up from Andrew Balding for 60,000gns not long after an AW win (1m) this time last year; not the easiest (can lug left) and will need to settle better after a spell sprinting, over tonight's stiff 7f, but he's capable off this mark if things fall right. |
6/1 |

7th 3 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Wins for Andrew Balding came on Polytrack, latterly off this mark over 1m last summer; a slow start did for him down to 5f last time and, while he doesn't always look the easiest and can lug left, he's capable if things fall his way. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |

Sole win from 19 starts came here on the AW over 7f in January and she ran well here over 6f 19 days ago, keeping on into third to do best of those from off the pace; step back up in trip will suit but he's yet to be placed in four starts on turf. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f nursery at Kempton off this mark on his final start for Ed Walker; struggled so far for his new stable but the drop into a 0-60, allied to the addition of a tongue-tie, could liven him up. |

8/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when landing a Chepstow maiden (6f, soft) in September but that was a golden opportunity and he struggled back in a handicap in his final run last season; drops back in grade on his return but he has a patchy profile and others are more convincing. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when comfortably seeing off four rivals in a Chepstow maiden last month (6f, soft); has run well in some useful handicaps this year but likely he will need another career-best to come out on top this time. |

Won twice over 7f this time last year for Mick Appleby and is 8lb lower than when successful at Ascot on the second occasion, but six starts for this yard so far this year leave plenty to be desired; others safer. |

Handicapped on his debut effort when not beaten far but still last of the seven runners at Salisbury (6f, good to firm); step up in trip and switch to handicaps needs to have a major effect. |

Two bits of modest form in his five races; last of 11 when 40-1 for last month's handicap debut (6f, soft) seemed to confirm that there are more solid options but, in fairness, it was his first race for 640 days. |
