1st 4 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Superbly bred gelding whose form has hit new heights this season; runaway winner of handicap at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Oaks day and followed up cosily in Listed race at Sandown (1m2f, good) five weeks ago; thriving and looks the one to beat. |
4/6 |

1st 5 (4) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Produced a very smart handicap performance at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Oaks day, registering an RPR of 121 and taking record to 4-8; leading contender provided that form is backed up returned to Listed level. |

1st 3 (16) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has run respectably on soft; hooded on last two starts, with a back-to-form second of six when stepped up to 1m2f for C&D handicap (good) on 2026 reappearance; raised 5lb since and probably not straightforward but that was a promising effort here from out the back (ran on well with too much to do) and he has to be in serious calculations. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Consistent form (1m, good to firm) this season, winning a maiden then creditable fourth in a couple handicaps; gives impression this return to 7f is worth exploring; not ruled out. |
9/2 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 3 |

Kept to 1m this season; won a Yarmouth maiden and then ran creditably in a Newbury handicap without looking ahead of his mark; may improve again but needs to. |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Both starts this season over 1m, winning Yarmouth maiden then running creditably in Newbury handicap; gives the impression this drop back to 7f won't be an issue; remains unexposed. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Probably acts on soft; off four months (given wind surgery) before shaping as if back in good form when mid-division at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f) last month, not getting best of runs and finishing with more to give, which might also be encouraging for this first crack at 1m4f; needs a career best in first-time cheekpieces. |
11/2 |
|
11th 8 (15) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Ended his time with Harry Charlton on a high for Pontefract win (1m2f, good to soft; has won on good to firm) last September; had three races in Bahrain in December-March, clearly best of those on first occasion and given wind surgery since latest; needs a career best. |
10/1 |
|
1st 7 (1) |
25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Solid in three handicaps since winning his maiden at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) and despite being beaten about 7l last time the headline-grabbing winner took up over six of them; looks likely to make his presence felt. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Yet to win this season but took his form to a new level when fitted with blinkers for last two runs, looking unlucky not to finish closer than sixth in C&D Group 1 July Cup before running on well for second in 7f Newbury Group 2 (also good to firm) last Saturday; eased in grade today; the one to beat. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Usually races at 6f nowadays but probably just as effective at 7f; seemed to excel himself in first-time blinkers when sixth of 11 in Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket (good to firm; 80-1) five weeks ago; not ruled out if repeating that form. |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Joint-favourite with Almeraq in Salisbury Listed race last time but underperformed; bottom of this pack on ratings and accordingly faces a much stiffer assignment than when winning a handicap at this meeting last year; blinkers added. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Three 7f wins in 2025; impressive dropped to 6f at Newcastle in March but he disappointed as favourite back at Newcastle five weeks ago; the penultimate performance suggests this mark is well within his range, and he could resume his progress back at 7f. |
7/2 |
|
11th 8 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive at 7f in 2025 and he returned from ten months off to run out an easy winner of a Class 3 handicap over C&D (2-2 at Newcastle) in March; up 7lb but foolish to think he's not up to the task; stable won this in 2024. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improved on each of first four starts but floundered on heavy at Glorious Goodwood and seemed to find 1m2f too far last time; back in trip with blinkers replacing cheekpieces; no surprise to see him bounce back. |
4/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Best to forgive his Glorious Goodwood effort on rain-softened ground; won at Sandown (1m, good) on handicap debut the time before and this well-bred colt may still have more to offer; likely to stay this new trip; remains of interest. |
7/2 |
|
14 (6) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
600,000gns yearling with an excellent pedigree; progressive RPRs in his three novice runs and he made his breakthrough when scoring on handicap debut at Sandown (1m, good) in May; 5lb higher on this step up in grade but he produced a strong finish from off the pace last time and is open to more progress; respected with cheekpieces added. |

23rd Jul 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't been advertising any need for a step up beyond 1m2f in her most recent outings, but her mark is finally more in line with the RPRs she's been consistently running to this term; not dismissed out of hand. |
16/1 |

14 (14) |
7th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Six-race maiden who has finished behind Hill O Rue twice since handicapping and seems unlikely to reverse placings with that improving rival; however, could go well off her reduced mark. |
16/1 |

2 (3) |
24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Beaten about 7l in her two handicaps, over 1m and 1m1f; might have some part to play off a reduced mark. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Showed little in her five races for Darryll Holland, the last two of which were handicaps in the spring; has tried cheekpieces and blinkers (latest start) once each, and now it's a visor for new connections; her new trainer has turned a fair few around before, mind you. |

14th May 2025 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Showed little in three starts last year (7f/1m) and she failed to beat a rival home on her handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m, good) last month; first-time blinkers need to make the difference now stepping up in trip. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Gambled on when just failing to make winning handicap debut (1m, AW) in February; prominent in the market all starts since although it took a trip to Jersey (2m; won easily) on penultimate run to get off the mark; wore cheekpieces for the third time when he proved underwhelming in a Yarrmouth classified (11.5f, pulled hard) six weeks ago; now goes back up in trip with no headgear. |

Gambled on when just failing to make a winning handicap debut in February and he's been prominent in the market all starts since, including when third of 13 in his first classified at Windsor (1m3.5f, good to firm) last month; it took a trip to Jersey (2m; won easily) to get him off the mark 19 days ago but he's respected. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
A useful 1m5f Flat winner for Sir Mark Prescott last year; only fair form at best in four hurdle outings for this yard since, including when well-held sixth on Stratford handicap debut in that sphere four weeks ago; returns to the Flat with something to prove; first-time cheekpieces go on. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |

A useful 1m5f Flat winner for Sir Mark Prescott; changed hands for 115,000gns and shaped well when runner-up in 2m Catterick juvenile hurdle in January; faced a stiff task in Haydock's Victor Ludorum last time and remains with potential now handicapping. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
A fairly useful and three-time Flat scorer (at up to 1m6f) for Sir Mark Prescott in 2025; beat only one on his hurdling debut at Kempton but vastly improved when a clear second of nine in 2m Catterick juvenile 15 days ago; open to further progress but this demands plenty more. |

Largely in good form in cheekpieces for new stable this year and was an emphatic course winner (7.6f, good; previously ran well on good to soft) on latest outing 18 days ago; 6lb higher now but still taken very seriously. |

Sole win from 14 starts came in Jersey (1m, firm) last summer; four races for this yard, back to form when only just denied in 16-runner race at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) three days ago; hung left on that occasion and rider briefly stopped riding, but this 4yo has solid claims today. |
