3rd Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Four wins during his progressive juvenile campaign, including on Polytrack and in a Listed race in October; below best in Qatar in February but he's a player if tapping back into his 2yo promise. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
He's run some really promising races in defeat for his new yard this year, just running out of stamina when sixth of 22 in the John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f, good to firm) in July and finishing third there (1m, good to soft) last month; this trip could be a good fit and he's an each-way player. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Close third at Newmarket (good) in June when upped to 1m on his second start for this yard, and he made good headway before his run petered out in the John Smith's Cup here (10.2f, good to firm) last month; denied a clear run when mid-division at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) last time; the return to 1m could be ideal; ran well on soft early in career; chance. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |

Close third at Newmarket (good) in June on his first crack at 1m and second start for this yard, and he made good headway before his run petered out in the John Smith's Cup at York (10.2f, good to firm), finishing sixth of 22; has won here and today's drop back in trip/grade could prove ideal. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Useful handicapper, runner-up in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in July; however, well beaten at Ascot since and now faces a much higher calibre of opposition. |
33/1 |

10th 8 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Admirably consistent in defeat this term and he was a close second to Aalto in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) recently; races off the same mark today (due a 2lb rise) and could again be thereabouts. |
13/2 |

2nd 9 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Reliable sort, this year over 7.5f/1m since being gelded; second on Newcastle AW with tongue-tie fitted last time; has gained both wins over a bare 7f; strong claims back down in distance. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A maiden after 28 starts, with tendencies to start slowly and race too freely, but has made the frame on his last five appearances, including two seconds in this grade at Brighton (6f, good to firm) this summer; fine over 7f and a likely contender once again; has tried various headgear combinations this year; goes in just the refitted cheekpieces today. |
6/5 |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Exposed 27-race maiden; runner-up in 6f classified events at Brighton on his last two starts (beaten favourite on each occasion); should run his race but others appeal more for win purposes. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 13 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
26-race maiden but did remarkably well to snatch second behind Big Time Rascal over C&D (good to firm) last Tuesday, when breaking awkwardly and pulling hard; clearly not the most straightforward and another change of headgear is tried but should go close if he gets the breaks. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Hasn't won since June 2025 but he posted creditable efforts over 1m1f at Musselburgh (good) and Glorious Goodwood (good to firm; did well to get fifth after a stumble at the start left him detached) this summer; never a threat at Redcar last time but a potential class act tackling his first 0-80. |
13/2 |
|
9th 3 (8) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hasn't won since last June but he ran well when third at Musselburgh (good) in June and should have finished even closer, when events conspired against him, before a fifth of 15 at Glorious Goodwood (also 1m1f, good to firm) last month; player from the same mark in this easier event. |
9/2 |
|
5th 18 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent and his losing sequence is up to 11 races; however, he was a close third off this reduced mark at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last time and is an each-way contender if backing up that performance. |
10/1 |
