1st 5 (7) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win from 18 starts came in a novice at Redcar (6f, soft) in October 2024; well beaten in his first starts since returning from a break but he came back to form from a career-low mark when second of 12 at Catterick (5f, good) a week ago; that was his first try over 5f and he's contender. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 (11) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he was twice placed off a 7lb higher mark last September; two AW runs last month should have sharpened him up and this is a drop in grade; apprentice takes off a valuable 5lb but a wide draw on his first attempt at 5f, and a sharp one at that, dents confidence. |

29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Showed promise in his first three starts for Hugo Palmer last autumn but hasn't gone on in handicaps, including on Tapeta; makes his stable debut having been picked up for 2,600gns last month; plenty to prove. |
20/1 |

8 (11) |
16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Remains winless and he was tried in blinkers when beating only one in 1m Hamilton handicap 19 days ago; reverts in trip here with plenty to prove. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins over C&D, the latest 17 days ago with Faster Bee winning the other division in a faster time; he is only 3lb higher, but like that gelding is drawn higher this time; will need a bit more. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-27) but has twice been edged out in tight finishes recently, latterly when failing to reel in Gladiadora at Southwell (7f; 9-1); pestered for the lead, reportedly running "too free", when disappointing over C&D 11 days ago; possible. |
100/30 |
|
9th 12 (9) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Record of 1-26 but he was runner-up behind Romanovich over C&D last month and had another close call at Southwell (7f) 13 days ago; nudged up 1lb but he should be in the thick of things again. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prevailed at Redcar (5f, good to firm) most recently, building on reappearance effort and taking record in blinkers to 2-6; may have more to offer in the retained headgear; respected. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only win was off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last September; creditable third at Thirsk last month (7f, good) but bit disappointing last time at Doncaster (7f, good to firm). |
6/1 |
|
8th 16 (17) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Newcastle (AW) in September and it was a close third at Thirsk (also 7f, good) on his return to turf a fortnight ago; drawn on the wing but can travel smoothly and should be in the thick of it off the same mark. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (15) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Might be better on the AW but shaped encouragingly after a break at Newcastle last month (7f) and he's not had many chances on grass; draw no help. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner last year; won again at Southwell in February (6f) but rather out of sorts since; back on his last winning mark. |
13/2 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Game effort to win over C&D in February off 1lb lower; only run since came at Thirsk 12 days ago when easy to back and dropping right away in the race won by Eldeyaar; racecourse evidence suggests he will be much happier now back on AW. |
7/1 |
|
15th 8 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Had the headgear left off when back to winning ways in 6f Southwell handicap 53 days ago; he's yet to show much in a handful of turf runs though, so needs to back it up. |

30th May 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Again went left, and again didn't see out 6f, last time, but starts handicap life at a lowly level in first-time blinkers and has a rail nearby on her left-hand side from stall 4; worth considering, especially should the market speak her way. |

18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
170,000gns son of Pinatubo but well held when 16-1 for 6f Kempton debut six weeks ago; no shock were he to prove a different proposition now but can't make a case for him after that first effort. |
16/1 |

2 (5) |
4th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
170,000gns yearling; by Pinatubo and the first foal of a 6f AW winner whose siblings include US 1m1f turf Grade 1 winner Digital Age; attractively bred debutant who is in good hands and has clear possibilities. |

2nd 4 (1) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unexposed sort; fair second in a Redcar maiden handicap last June (5f, good to firm; cheekpieces on for first time) but has been absent since. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Five-race maiden but he was beaten less than 3l in two handicaps last month including an eyecatching effort over C&D and a third at Southwell (Marajito second); seems to be going the right way and he looks a solid contender back on turf; cheekpieces added. |
