11th Oct 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Godolphin colt who has progressive 6f form and should be 3-3 (would likely have won on debut but for blowing the start); the manner of his wins at Windsor (soft) and Yarmouth (good) suggest he'll cope with this drop in distance; respected. |
7/2 |

1st 1 (2) |
17th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Both runs at 6f; big eyecatcher at Pontefract (good to firm) and duly confirmed that promise with a clearcut win at Windsor (soft); runner-up didn't disgrace the form next time and this Kodiac colt looks useful. |

travelled strongly, prominent, pressed leader after 1f, led over 2f out, pushed along and went clear over 1f out, edged left inside final furlong, eased towards finish |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Smart handicapper who brings excellent stats, being 3-3 at Newmarket (on the other course, admittedly, but it bodes well) and 3-3 (much improved) this term for new yard; prevailed only narrowly in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently but seems on his way to becoming a Group performer; adds great interest. |
8/1 |
|
1st 4 (24) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
The talking horse in good 6f handicaps this spring and he delivered, coming clear with no fuss under Oisin Murphy at Newmarket (good) on yard debut and not having to work much harder under a penalty there (good to firm) in May for Shane Foley; 10lb higher than last time but could be on his way to better things. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Promising for Charles Hills as a 3yo, winning a C&D handicap at the Craven meeting before a good third from a tricky draw at York; ended 2025 with a low-key run at Ascot but, having been switched to Andrew Balding's stable, he created a huge impression here 17 days ago, supported as though defeat was out of the question and winning accordingly; 8lb well in and looks a Group horse in waiting; obvious chance for the stable that won this prize in 2021 and 2024. |

7/1 |

5th 5 (9) |
2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
By Kingman out of 6f/7f 2yo winner (including Group 3; RPR 102); 9-1 for his Newbury debut (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago but he travelled well for a long way before fading into a 2l third of 11; that was a promising start and he's strongly respected. |
100/30 |

3rd 4 (6) |

Has raced exclusively at sprint distances; has failed to build on his June success (5f, good) and doesn't shape as if he's crying out for this new trip; others preferred. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Beaten 16 times since his winning 2yo debut but there have been several good runs along the way; two midfield finishes in good handicaps this summer; edging down the weights and he should be popping up soon. |
25/1 |
|
10th 7 (22) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
0-15 since debut win in May 2024 but often ran well off marks in the 90s in some quality handicaps last season, including over C&D; respectable sixth of 14 on recent reappearance at Thirsk and could build on that run today. |

0-8 but he was only beaten 2l in a 7f handicap here last month; continues to drop down the weights and could be dangerous if he can find something extra back in trip. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

7th 5 (8) |
22nd Jul 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Six-race maiden who has been down the field in two starts (at about 1m) since joining this stable; drops back to 7f; best watched. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Maiden who has performed well over 5f at Wolverhampton a few times this winter; however, doesn't appear to be crying out for this return to 6f. |
8/1 |

6th 7 (3) |
13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

In-form maiden who ran well in first-time visor over C&D (classified) most recently, beating all bar a progressive sort who headed the betting; possibilities in the retained headgear. |

9st 6lb |
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. |

9th 7 (7) |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has been on a roll on the AW and wasn't far away behind Midnight Call in her bid for a four-timer (fine at 5f and 6f); the glaring concern is that she has no worthwhile form on turf, albeit after just four attempts. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
18th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Just keeps on progressing at 6f and 5f and landed a three-timer here (6f) 13 days ago; her small winning margins means she doesn't get raised too much and there is no reason why she should not be in the firing line again. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive form in the spring, following a ready Brighton win with an emphatic success at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on handicap debut; ran no sort of race when favourite at Newmarket's July meeting last time but has had two months off and now reappears in cheekpieces; may still be unexposed. |
11/2 |
|
9 (12) |
10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
2-2 since faced with 6f on fast ground, following his ready Brighton win with an emphatic success at Doncaster on his handicap debut eight weeks ago; while that latest form hasn't been especially well advertised, he looked a smart prospect and has a major chance despite an 11lb rise. |
8/1 |
|
5 (4) |
17th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Chased home a notable opponent at Wolverhampton in December (7f); beaten at odds-on at Catterick on his return to action but he made no mistake dropped to 6f at Brighton 18 days ago; more on his plate in a handicap but could well have more to offer. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

8th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Took a forward step in the new blinkers when narrowly beaten by a fellow nursery newcomer over 7f at Newcastle (AW) where the third was some 3l back; should cope with the 6f okay but he did run poorly in his previous encounter with soft ground. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten a long way in three starts over 6f/7f on turf, but he may show more now switched to a nursery with blinkers applied; stable has a 28% strike-rate here in past five seasons. |
11/4 |
|
13th 12 (10) |
24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
High-profile connections but has performed to a modest level in both his races (7f/6f); may come good in handicaps. |
