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. |

3rd 7 (9) |
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. |

2nd 2 (6) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's been up and down this season but has won twice (5f, good to firm) and was a good second at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) last time when denied a clear run; no surprise if this progressive 4yo makes amends today. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Northern raider who has won twice on fast ground over 5f this season; had poor track position when below form at Beverley recently; no surprise if he bounces back quickly over this slightly longer trip. |
5/2 |
|
8th 6 (9) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Prevailed in small field at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last time, taking record in blinkers to 3-9; back up 4lb but Jack Callan takes off useful 3lb; has won over C&D; enters calculations. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A win and two places from four 7f runs here; the step up to 1m in cheekpieces has opened new doors of late, keeping on well into third of 17 at Doncaster before delivered late to win at Ayr; was quite impressive for his win here last September and he can do better back on this surface. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (10) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Campaigned mainly over 6f/7f but looked suited by step up to 1m when keeping-on third of 18 at Doncaster (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; could still have more to offer over this trip; high on the list. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Gained sole win on AW; inconsistent kept to 7f this term but has possibilities off current mark provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces and new trip. |

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. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-11; pulled hard over 6f on his penultimate start and stuck at it from the rear over 5f last time; may possibly still be a work in progress but there's nothing wrong with this mark if he can put it all together. |
16/1 |
|
7th 9 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-10; pulled hard and didn't see things out when favourite for a 6f handicap here last month; now 5lb lower than for his C&D second in May so he is one to take seriously back down in distance; cheekpieces are the headgear of choice today. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Not yet off the mark and he's raced only at 5f since handicapping but he did look worth another go at 6f when keeping on well in fourth here (soft) last month, when first-time blinkers replaced cheekpieces; thereabouts. |
8/1 |
