1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Scored at Lingfield (5f, AW) last June and signed off with a good third of ten in 5f Yarmouth handicap in October; in the mix if fully tuned up for his seasonal return. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 (8) |
21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Bolted up at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in June but hit with a 10lb rise and he has found it tougher since; this looks more manageable but best efforts on fast ground and conditions are a query here. |
12/1 |

7th 10 (5) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
The winner of two of his nine starts, notably an emphatic success on turf here (good to firm) in June; solid efforts in both starts since but he needs something extra to defy this mark. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner last spring off a 4lb higher mark who finished a clear second on his return to turf nine days ago; 2lb higher now but having Jack Callan (1-11 for the yard) up to take off 3lb won't hurt; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins from 18 starts; dropping to 5f wouldn't have suited at Lingfield in February but he was too free at Kempton (6f) when last seen 78 days ago; switches back to turf with others preferred. |

Dropping back to 5f at Lingfield 11 days ago wouldn't have suited but was no match for Em Four at Chelmsford the time before; opposable. |

18th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Placed in four of his nine starts including when third of seven in a Hamilton maiden (5f, good to soft) last time, but soundly beaten in both nurseries; needs the switch to the AW to make a difference; stable also runs Azuinthejungle. |
14/1 |

30th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Exposed; has shown promise on occasions but best efforts have been on faster ground (well beaten in a 6f nursery on soft last time); others stronger. |
9/2 |

11th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Twice runner-up earlier in the season (including C&D) and last month's nursery debut came in a tough contest at York; however, he was soundly beaten and isn't obviously well treated even now down in grade. |

No improvement for the switch to nurseries when 11th of 13 at Chelmsford 16 days ago ; dropped 3lb but others look much safer. |

31st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Low-level form in two fast-ground maidens and when 150-1 in a 6f novice on Kempton AW; has some ability and needs a market check on nursery debut. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Did well for Harriet Bethell last season and his two runs this year have been encouraging, second of 13 to an unexposed one at Thirsk three weeks ago; mark left unchanged; big player. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 10 (12) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
The winner of four of his eight starts last year (6f, good or slower); perhaps needed the run on his return to action at Newcastle last month, running respectably in the smaller stands' side group; the more rain to fall the better for him. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (11) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Landed a fourth success of a productive first season with Harriet Bethell when comfortably seeing off 12 rivals at Pontefract in October; all those wins came at 6f but he was also second over 7f at Chelmsford last summer; no surprise were he to improve again this year. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Most of his best efforts have come from the front but he just raced in touch when second at Yarmouth (6f) on latest outing, his best show this year; well handicapped if judged on peak 2025 efforts. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Front-runner who got upset in the stalls and was slowly away last time at Wolverhampton; his previous two runs were also below best form and easy lead looks unlikely with Grand Citadel in the field. |
12/1 |
|
11th 11 (7) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner; not found his best form in two runs back from a break and unlikely to enjoy an uncontested lead in this field. |

5th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Didn't show enough in his two turf races (5.7f/7f) to warrant serious consideration on this AW debut. |

26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |

12-1, never-dangerous seventh of nine in maiden on Bath debut (5.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; needs this big step up in trip to spark improvement. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Winless as yet; some good AW runs in the second half of 2025, including over C&D, but well held on last two starts; others preferred. |
25/1 |
|
7th 12 (4) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Several creditable efforts on AW since September but her form nosedived over C&D on Boxing Day and she's now 0-17; down the list. |
25/1 |
|
12 (5) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
14-race maiden; fair second over 1m at Wolverhampton last month and not disgraced at Kempton four days ago (1m); stamina is a concern, but excuses for poor run on only go at 1m2f (saddle slipped). |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
First past the post four times in succession in the second half of 2025 (demoted to fourth on the third occasion); she has carried on the good work this year, finishing second in three of her four starts; more required to defy this mark and she still has a bit to prove on turf. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Broadly consistent record on AW features two wins over C&D; fared best of the rest behind clearcut winner Beaumadier, who was able to dominate, last time; this race may pan out her way; solid chance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 in fine form but she has been beaten off this mark on her last three starts and she will need to find another surge of progress to take this. |
9/2 |
