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. |
33/1 |

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 Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
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. |
5/1 |

2nd 2 (5) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 12lb |
One of two for trainer; career-best form since November features two wins at Dundalk and a fourth-place finish in the Irish Lincolnshire; better again in the Spring Mile at Doncaster last time when a runner-up off 1lb lower (1m, good to soft); big chance with ground to suit. |
4/1 |

9st 12lb |
Career-best form (all over 1m) since November features two wins on Dundalk AW and fourth-place finish in the Irish Lincolnshire at the Curragh returned to turf; has frame possibilities off unaltered mark. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has worked his way back to form since disappointing stable debut in April and posted career-best performance when second of 18 at York (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; should be fine back on Tapeta; good chance. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Only win came at this trip on heavy ground at Salisbury last September when trained by Roger Teal; good second at Newbury the following month (1m2f, soft); changed hands for 31,000gns in February; had wind op in March; yet to hit top form for new connections. |

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. |
5/1 |

8th 9 (2) |
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. |
