3rd 6 (6) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Regressive in Ireland over last two seasons and made nothing better than a mildly encouraging stable debut when midfield at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) last month; needs a boost from the refitted cheekpieces. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (5) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Promising 2yo for Owen Burrows (RPR 83); 0-20 in Ireland for Denis Hogan, with 2026 offering no sign of a revival in his fortunes; starts out for a new yard off a lowly mark so worth a precautionary market check. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Didn't look at all happy at Epsom (7f, good to soft) last time, but is just 1lb higher than when making a successful reappearance at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in March; not dismissed. |
8/1 |
|
15th 12 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Progressive during last season's 3yo campaign and continued the good work when winning at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March on his reappearance; another good run when third to Dance In The Storm at Chester (7f, good) last month; versatile ground-wise and might not be far away. |

Steadily progressive on turf and AW; prevailed at Wolverhampton (7f) on seasonal debut, making it three wins from his last six races; up only another 2lb and there's the possibility of further improvement; respected. |

8th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Best form on soft ground, his only win coming over C&D in October 2024; makes her seasonal debut and would be interesting if the ground eases. |
15/2 |
|
8 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won nursery here last October (6f, soft) on sole previous course visit and he's run some good races in defeat for his new yard this season, including on good ground and when fourth of 13 at Ayr three weeks ago (6f, soft; showed pace); each-way contender now back down in trip. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won a Redcar maiden in July (7f, good) but has been below par on two of his last three outings, last time finishing last of ten when favourite for a Yarmouth nursery (7f, good); questions to answer. |
7/1 |
|
10th 4 (11) |
17th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Again missed the break when meeting traffic and unlucky not to go closer on nursery debut at Haydock (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago; has landed an outside stall and will want to settle better than at Ripon previously but will rightly be popular under Oisin Murphy. |
4/1 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
5th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Redcar (7f, good) in July on third start; failed to settle when well beaten in Ripon novice (1m, good) last month and he's not written off now back down in trip, but he has something to prove after last time. |

5th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-race maiden who ran another fair race when fourth of six on last month's nursery debut here (6f, good); he's a brother to 7f Listed winner Olivia Maralda and this step back up in trip could be a positive move. |
9/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
4th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Failed to get home over 7f on debut; made the frame in sprint contests at Goodwood (good) and Newbury (good to firm) since, showing fair form; may improve in nurseries and can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
20th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has shown promise at Sandown (7f, good to firm) and Goodwood (5f, good), some improvement when third of nine on second occasion; this intermediate trip could be ideal, and with an experience edge over most of his rivals he's unlikely to be far away. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Promise in maidens on first three starts, notably when fifth at Epsom on first try at 7f (good; cheekpieces tried); subsequently gelded and below par in a Haydock nursery on only outing since (7f, good to soft); should fare better this time. |
6/1 |
|
6th 4 (9) |
5th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has shown promise in defeat on all three starts (6f/7f); gelded since and this 150,000euros yearling is open to improvement on his nursery debut; he's Hollie Doyle's mount of the Archie Watson pair; on the shortlist. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 (9) |
18th Jul 2024 Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Hung left throughout but still managed third at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in May; similar form at evens when third of five at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) one month ago, meeting a little late interference but he needs to improve in the new cheekpieces over the extra 1f if he's to fare better today. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Difficult to recommend judged on last five starts, in which he's beaten very few opponents; supporters will cling to the hope that blinkers (replacing a visor) will help and that his two successes have come at Catterick. |
16/1 |
|
2 (6) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Below par on his last four starts, but Catterick (5f, good) a fortnight ago was a step back in the right direction and he won there (6f, good to soft) in July on his last encounter with slow ground; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
10 (7) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
6f win here in July off 1lb higher; not beaten many home in three runs since and a visor is now reached for (has been wearing cheekpieces). |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Notched a second success of the season at Nottingham (1m) in June; shaped as if still in form when a non-staying seventh in 1m2f handicap at Beverley two weeks ago; very much one to consider back in trip here. |
9/2 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Two wins this term, latest at Nottingham last month (8.5f, good to firm); two close seconds since; an obvious contender but stamina to prove on first run at 1m2f (stays 1m1f). |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Generally consistent apart from one moderate run on good to soft this year; he has won twice this summer, at Hamilton (8.5f, good) and over C&D (good to firm) with Jake Dickson on board; looks sure to give another good account. |

5th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) in June on second start and placed in two of her three nurseries, most recently third at Wolverhampton (7f, AW); might not be far away. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
20th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
150,000gns yearling; off the mark in a Nottingham maiden (6f, good to soft) in June and second of ten on nursery debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) next time, but held in a stronger event at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago; dam won over C&D so worth a second look. |
11/2 |
|
7th 9 (11) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
150,000gns yearling; narrow winner of a Nottingham maiden (6f, good to soft) and better again to beat all bar one of her rivals on nursery debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm); thereabouts. |
