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. |

in touch with leaders on inner, switched right after 2f, raced slightly wide but good headway home turn, led over 1f out, soon went clear, pushed out inside final furlong, easily |

2nd 14 (7) |
17th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
It was a useful Newmarket maiden (6f, good) in which he kept on encouragingly for fourth in August and, with improvement on the cards, he should be in the mix. |

9st 1lb |
1,500,000gns purchase who hasn't exactly lived up to expectations, being 0-4; however, gelded prior to running well in handicap here (7f) the final time; now goes in cheekpieces; may have a race of this nature in him. |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Has made the frame on all three starts (6f/7f, good to firm/good); improvement needed on nursery debut but he's been gelded since last time which could unlock the potential in his pedigree (cost 1,500,000gns); respected. |

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. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two C&D wins (good and good to soft) last year and he comes here just 2lb higher than for the latter success; promising reappearance last month but he failed to fire on soft ground here last week; type to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Both of his wins from 16 starts have been over C&D (good/good to soft), the most recent in September off 2lb lower; ran a solid race here 15 days ago on his return from a break and he once again has each-way claims. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had 15 races; second career win when prevailing narrowly over C&D in September and following efforts weren't too shoddy; still on a competitive mark but he does lack a recent run. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Unraced on soft/heavy; scored four times on turf last term and may resume his progress with creditable AW reappearance under his belt; combined record of 3-4 at Epsom and Brighton bodes well for this first visit to Goodwood, which is quite similar to those tracks; highly respected. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All four of his wins were on turf last year, but he was runner-up on his sole AW start at Newcastle; his progressive profile gives him a squeak but he may be better for his first outing since October. |
12/1 |
|
16 (3) |
14th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive sort who has won four of his last six races, first three over 6f (one here) and the latest over 7f at Epsom (good to soft; met trouble in running); has gone up 21lb but should be competitive again. |

9st 10lb |
Unexposed 3yo who ended three-race 2yo campaign for John Ryan with small-field Nottingham novice win (5f, soft) in November; encounters much faster ground and has fitness to prove on stable/handicap debut. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Left 2yo novice/maiden form behind, having been gelded and possibly aided by the fitting of a visor, when striking at Wolverhampton this month (6f handicap); penalised when only third at Yarmouth next time (the horse he beat at Wolverhampton turned the tables by finishing second again); is 2lb lower off his revised mark here; player with return to 7f likely okay. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Built on some minor promise in his qualifying runs, with a win on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW; first-time visor) last week; has penalty back on turf but if he can match that latest effort, he'd still have a chance of a successful follow-up. |
11/8 |
|
1 (3) |
3rd Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well held in three starts over 6f/7f on turf last year, since when he has been gelded; makes his handicap/AW debut in a first-time visor after 259 days off, but has been found a weak race; market may prove informative. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
8lb higher than for his only handicap win gained nearly a year ago; kept on for a closing fifth at Newbury last time but that was over 1m2f and there are doubts about him over this far. |
4/1 |
|
5th 14 (11) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
While a Nottingham 1m handicap last April remains his only win, he's run well over about 1m2f in three of four starts for his current yard; that gives him each-way claims and the return of headgear (tried by his previous stable and he ran well, including for the win) could be a help. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
It was over 1m3f when he went down narrowly at Kempton on final run in early December but he's effective at this sort of trip and hasn't had many chances on the AW; couldn't be ruled out. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Has a rather all-or-nothing profile, easily winning 7f Leicester nursery (heavy) last October and a Lingfield handicap (7.6f, soft) in June; not sure what to expect and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. |
33/1 |
|
11 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Very patchy profile and he's yet to reproduce the form of his wide-margin Lingfield win (7.5f, soft) in June, when possibly flattered by bagging the stands' side rail; handicapper still in an unforgiving mood. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won four times on AW in the first three months of last year for Gay Kelleway but left that yard under a cloud and hasn't built on encouraging first go for this stable in March; work to do on his return to turf. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Regular slow starter; like The Spotlight Kid, his four wins have come in two lots of two; not beaten all that far in his two runs since leaving Gay Kelleway but more is needed from him. |
14/1 |

7th 5 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Showed signs of a revival back from a break when fifth on stable debut at Kempton (1m) three weeks ago; was beaten less than 3l in that race and he's now 8lb lower than for his win at Newcastle (7f) last spring; one to keep an eye on. |

Beaten just a single rival in four starts, although was hampered at the start when last of eight on stable/AW debut at Chelmsford (5f; 40-1) three weeks ago; no obvious reason to expect better. |

Only beat one rival home in three runs for Mick Appleby and was last of eight on stable/handicap debut here (5f; first run since gelded) last month; still early days but he needs to show a lot more upped to 7f. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
10st 3lb |
British raider won twice at Meydan in the spring, landing a Group 2 and a Group 3 (both at 5f); came up short in a 6f Group 1 there in April; below-par last twice on turf but he is 2-3 on the AW so could rebound in first-time cheekpieces after an 111-day break. |

8th 6 (10) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice in novice company on AW as a 2yo; form took off in Dubai earlier in the year, winning a Group 3 and a Group 2 over 5f; he has struggled in Group 1 races on his last two starts, though, and his 5lb penalty could leave him vulnerable today. |
8/1 |
|
23 (23) |
17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Had a promising, rather than stellar, 2yo season but he raised the bar when breaking the 5f track record in a Group 2 at Meydan (good to firm) in January, without having too hard a time either; he wasn't so overbearing when following up next time but this trip will suit better than the 6f he ran over when eighth to Believing there in April; not dismissed. |
