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. |

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. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Last season's 3yo campaign ended with two below-par runs but he may have been ready for a break; reappears on a competitive mark based on last summer's form in big-field 5f handicaps and Ryan Moore, who has an excellent 33% strike-rate for Clive Cox, is booked; could be involved. |

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. |
8/1 |
|
9th 3 (19) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Ascot (1m, soft) last September and very creditable fourth of 20 in another big-field handicap there (1m, good) in October; this 4yo course winner is unexposed over 1m and could have more to offer this season; chance. |

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. |
14/1 |
|
3 (6) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins this summer (5f, good to firm/heavy), on the second occasion at Glorious Goodwood, and another solid run when close third of six at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) in August last time; this 3yo wears a first-time tongue-tie and can be in the mix once more. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Redcar (5f, good to firm) in June before bumping into progressive winner at Haydock (5f, good), and back to winning ways at Glorious Goodwood (5f, heavy); this improving 3yo could take a 5lb rise in his stride. |

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. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins and most of his best RPRs have come on AW but his turf runs have come in stronger company than this; drops to 5f for the first time in his career; others look safer. |
14/1 |

6th 1 (5) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ran his best race for new connections when a front-running second of six at Chelmsford three weeks ago (6f); runs off the same mark here and has a C&D win on his record; one to consider. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

3rd 1 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Opened account with hard-fought 7f course win off today's mark in January but yet to make any further progress and was unable to land a telling blow when dropped back to 6f at Kempton last month. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win from 17 starts but that came off a similar mark here (7f) in January; no impact in last four runs but he ran well for a long way at Wolverhampton last time and is not ruled out on this drop back to 6f. |

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

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

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. |

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. |
12/1 |

1st 2 (1) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Handles soft ground; some fair form without winning over 6f and he was beaten by a promising one at Ffos Las (good; third won AW maiden since) before never involved from a high draw in a Racing League race on Wolverhampton AW in August (first-time cheekpieces, retained); solid form chance. |

Well treated on his warm spell (finishing positions 112) last summer; not in anything like the same form this year for new yard, however, and is best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Two 7f wins for Mick Appleby last summer; back to his last winning mark but that is a result of showing little in three starts for current connections; only of interest if attracting support. |

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. |
