4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Smart efforts in defeat at Listed/Group 3 level last season but hasn't come close to reproducing that form returned to handicaps this season, including with cheekpieces added last time; being eased another 3lb can only help but leap of faith needed. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won on soft as 2yo; reappearance win last April saw him pitched afterwards into Listed and Group events, in which he was initially on the premises but his handicap mark shot up as a result; ninth of 12 to Respond at Chester wasn't a greatly auspicious return to handicap company on reappearance this season and connections now reach for headgear. |

Highly tried after making a winning reappearance at Nottingham (1m2f, good) a year ago; proven fresh, but hard to know how well treated he is for this return to handicap company. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 123y |
9st 3lb |
No win on turf since September 2024; has run well in defeat in good handicaps this season, including fourth to Ribee in Irish Lincoln; also second to stablemate Jagged Edge at Naas; below-par last time in a Curragh race dominated by Pierre Royal and Booyea; drawn low. |

No win on turf since September 2024 but running well in defeat in good handicaps this season and rider's 3lb claim a plus; had Booyea behind when runner-up at Naas last time (1m, good); in the mix again. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Remote third over hurdles 12 days ago but had been running quite well on the Flat prior to that, including fifth of 13 over 1m2f here (good to soft) in August; his peak RPRs have been achieved over that trip so his stamina isn't assured. |

3rd 7 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
With Roger Teal when well beaten in two runs over hurdles last winter; had wind surgery since and has been running quite well at a fair level on the Flat for current yard; could run well getting plenty of weight fromf the three previous winners. |

10st 4lb |
Right back on song with second of 18 at York (1m2f) in June but only fifth of eight at Southwell (1m3f) since; needs to bounce back if he's to double his tally here. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made it sixth-time lucky over C&D in July and appreciated the return to the AW when fourth of 11 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last month with three of these behind (winner has gone in again since); leading player. |
3/1 |
|

4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Posted an improved effort when winning at Kempton (1m, AW) in July but he wasn't in the same form at Ffos Las (1m, good) last month following a 6lb rise; return to AW may help. |
9/1 |

5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed improved form when a well-backed winner from 13 rivals at Kempton (1m, AW) four weeks ago; had nearly 2l to spare and a 6lb rise may not stop him if the return to turf isn't an issue. |

Gained only Flat win in basement-grade classified race; made pretty good start to hurdling career when third at Fontwell (2m1f, good) in September but was soundly beaten there last month and others look stronger. |

0-7 and his second in a Leicester handicap in June (1m, good to firm; no headgear) is a standout; offered little in cheekpieces but now tackling his first classified race. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-6 but he was beaten only a length when second of five here over 1m last month; wasn't in the same form at Windsor (1m, again good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 23 days ago; steps up in trip and needs to bounce back for his in-form stable. |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Resonded well to the fitting of blinkers and being allowed a soft lead when making all on his reappearance/first start since being gelded over C&D (good to firm) last month, but ran a shocker at Chepstow (1m2f, good) next time; much depends on which version turns up, but he could enjoy the run of the race again. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Delivered on some 2yo promise when making all at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) this month; up 5lb and has more to prove on the stamina front given the recent rain but some further progress is on the cards; yard also runs Justenzia. |

Huge prices and beaten a long way in four runs over 7f, latterly off 2lb higher on his nursery debut; Keep Singing is clearly his yard's best chance. |
