20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on slow ground in the autumn of 2024; in and out in his three runs this year but his Leicester fourth last month (7f, good) brings him into the reckoning; a visor is now tried (ran well in one attempt in cheekpieces); further rainfall would aid his chance. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned mostly on turf and over 7f, winning twice (as a 2yo); latest effort was better than reappearance and suggested this return to 1m is worth exploring; could go well, provided he's as effective back on AW. |
10/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

On a losing sequence and he failed to beat a rival on his return in 16-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f) 15 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Took a C&D nursery (heavy) this time last year and September's Windsor score reaffirmed her greater effectiveness on slow ground, so largely drying forecast not ideal; back down 2lb now unpenalised again, at least. |
16/1 |
|
9th 12 (10) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Seems ideally suited by testing ground, winning a nursery on heavy last season and running her best race for her new stable when powering home over C&D last week (soft); penalty demands more but she's coming here at the top of her game and that doesn't apply to several of her rivals. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Nursery winner at two but a sharp improver this season with two wins including one over C&D; needed a stronger pace when his hat-trick bid came up shy and the drop back to 6f found him when tried in cheekpieces (now removed) at the Shergar Cup; remains of interest off this sort of mark. |
16/1 |
|
9 (7) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive 3yo; made a winning seasonal return in a C&D handicap in May (strong form) and followed up over 7f at Doncaster; came up just shy in his hat-trick bid at Newmarket four weeks ago (7f, good to firm) but that race was slowly run early and he turned in another rock-solid effort (the third has won two major handicaps since); now 5lb higher but it's unlikely he's reached his ceiling and new cheekpieces could help too; big chance. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 10 (8) |
11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Successful in a couple of Class 4 events under Kieran Shoemark this term, latest at Doncaster (7f, good), taking record in turf handicaps to 1311; upped in grade but could well improve further; highly respected. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive 3yo who landed a good prize for Jay Mackay over C&D (good) in June and was also on target at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; makes obvious appeal from the inside stall. |
7/4 |
|
4 (2) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive gelding who has form figures of 2212 this summer and that latest second was a close call from a tough draw at Chester (7.6f, good); usually races prominently and he's a big player off only 1lb higher on this drop back in trip. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Now 5lb lower than when placed in 7f Newmarket nursery for Ralph Beckett in the autumn but that was on soft ground and he is yet to strike form after two runs for new stable this year; eased in grade here; still needs to up his game. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
20th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Generally kept to softer ground by Ralph Beckett last year and was turned over at odds-on in one start on good to firm; off four months since an ordinary debut for his new, in-form yard (which picked him up for 22,000gns) in a Polytrack maiden; market useful. |

23rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Six-race maiden who hasn't progressed; ran well in one AW start but others look open to greater improvement. |
20/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
13th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Close third on heavy here on debut; has not improved much on that despite four further starts, gelded before well beaten at 50-1 in York nursery on latest; this race is nothing like so hot but others are still preferred. |
12/1 |
|
15th 15 (15) |
21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
0-4 but has shown promise each time, most recently close fourth of five on nursery debut at Ascot (6f, good), a run that can perhaps be upgraded as he made a move from the rear to lead over 1f out in that slowly run race; gelded since; today's bigger field should play to his strengths; interesting. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Dual Flat winner; ran his best race in this sphere when third of ten finishers at Southwell (2m, good) nine days ago on his handicap debut; has scope to improve further and should run well. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Dual Flat winner; quiet in three runs over hurdles and although handicaps may see him in a better light, his last two Flat efforts were very moderate; stamina looks an issue. |
20/1 |
|
9th 7 (6) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins from 21 starts; went close at Nottingham (8.5f, heavy) in October but he's struggled since (Flat/jumps), including when well beaten at that same track 15 days ago; drops back to 7f; others are preferred. |
8/1 |
